He grand Spanish-style venue was the centerpiece of Palm Springs entertainment for decades, and thanks to the efforts of many residents and a group of committed rockers who got involved, it is just that once again.\" -Bob Merlis from the liner notes to Rock The Plaza importance. And the Plaza Theatre in Palm Springs, California was just the type of venue that required these three key ingredients. Opened to the public for the first time in 1936, this classic Art Deco building was the site of many grand events over the past 100 years. And so it was on November 11, 2022, spearheaded by Brian Ray (Sir Paul McCartney's guitar gunslinger for the past 20+ years), a gala fundraiser was held to restore one of Palm Springs' most treasured landmarks, the historic Plaza Theatre. Ray and his co-musical director Spike Edney (Queen, Clapton, Elton, Aretha) put together an all-star band to back the four headliners for the evening's show. And what headliners they were: Rock \u0026amp; Roll Hall of Fame Inductee Alice Cooper; Paul Rodgers (highly acclaimed lead singer of Bad Company and Free); legendary modern rock artist and Palm Springs native Joshua Homme (Queens Of The Stone Age, Them Crooked Vultures) and Australian guitar goddess Orianthi (Michael Jackson, Richie Sambora). The backing band behind these legends in addition to Ray and Edney included Matt Sorum (Guns N' Roses), Eric Singer (KISS, Black Sabbath), John Button (Shakira, The Who, Sheryl Crow) and the guitarist's guitarist, Pete Thorn. Their musicianship inspired Alice Cooper to say after his set, \"what a band... best band in the land right there!\" What made this evening truly memorable were not only the stellar versions of the artists' classic hits (\"School's Out, \" \"I'm Eighteen, \" \"Can't Get Enough, \" \"All Right Now, \" and \"I Sat By The Ocean\") but completely unique covers each member of the band contributed... hear Joshua Homme's spot-on take of Bowie's \"Let's Dance, \" Paul Rodgers singing Sam \u0026amp; Dave's infectious \"I Thank You, \" Alice Cooper's triumphant cover of The Who's \"My Generation, \" and Orianthi and Brian Ray's playful version of the Sonny \u0026amp; Cher duet \"I Got You Babe\" and more!! So sit back and go back to 2022 when rock legends walked the earth, \"turned it up to eleven\" and a memorable night of fun and music went into a worthy cause to Rock The Plaza!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Generation (Live at the Plaza Theatre, Palm Springs, California, November 11, 2022) - By Alice Cooper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo More Mister Nice Guy (Live at the Plaza Theatre, Palm Springs, California, November 11, 2022) - By Alice Cooper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm Eighteen (Live at the Plaza Theatre, Palm Springs, California, November 11, 2022) - By Alice Cooper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnder My Wheels (Live at the Plaza Theatre, Palm Springs, California, November 11, 2022) - By Alice Cooper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSchool's Out\/Another Brick in the Wall (Live at the Plaza Theatre, Palm Springs, California, November 11, 2022) - By Alice Coope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet's Dance (Live at the Plaza Theatre, Palm Springs, California, November 11, 2022) - By Joshua Homme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSomething Stupid (Live at the Plaza Theatre, Palm Springs, California, November 11, 2022) - By Josh Homme ; Orianthi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThese Boots Are Made for Walkin' (Live at the Plaza Theatre, Palm Springs, California, November 11, 2022) - By Orianthi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Got You Babe (Live at the Plaza Theatre, Palm Springs, California, November 11, 2022) - By Orianthi ; Brian Ray\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight Down the Line (Live at the Plaza Theatre, Palm Springs, California, November 11, 2022) - By Joshua Homme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Sat By the Ocean (Live at the Plaza Theatre, Palm Springs, California, November 11, 2022) - By Joshua Homme\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan't Get Enough (Live at the Plaza Theatre, Palm Springs, California, November 11, 2022) - By Paul Rodgers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Thank You (Live at the Plaza Theatre, Palm Springs, California, November 11, 2022) - By Paul Rodgers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeel Like Makin' Love (Live at the Plaza Theatre, Palm Springs, California, November 11, 2022) - By Paul Rodgers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRebel Rebel (Live at the Plaza Theatre, Palm Springs, California, November 11, 2022) - By Jay Nailor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll Right Now (Live at the Plaza Theatre, Palm Springs, California, November 11, 2022) - By Paul Rodgers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 810075115857\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivore Recordings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5.25\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vinyl Revival Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53235380191392,"sku":"810075115857","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/5899\/5360\/files\/4464789-3462905.jpg?v=1770371917","url":"https:\/\/vinylrevivalrecordstore.com\/products\/rock-the-plaza-concert-to-save-the-historic-var-rock-the-plaza-concert-to-save-the-historic-var-cd","provider":"Vinyl Revival Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
