Eagle Rock Distributes Concert Film Highlights on Concert Online
Collaboration with largest independent producer of concert films includes recordings featuring Johnny Cash, Marilyn Manson and Suzanne Vega
Cologne, Germany, December 18, 2007 - Effective immediately, the live music portal www.concertonline.de will distribute concert films by the world's largest independent producer of concert films, Eagle Rock.
Initially, 18 concert film highlights produced by the US music company will be available for commercial download. The selection is slated to be increased substantially in the coming months. Eagle Rock currently has over 500 concert film titles in its catalog.
After announcement of a far-reaching partnership with SONY BMG Music Entertainment, Concert Online is now poised for the next expansion of its repertoire. Among the 18 titles available initially from Eagle Vision, Eagle Rock's concert film label, are a number of gems of recent music history. One definitely legendary performance is the live concert by country icon Johnny Cash at the Montreaux Jazz Festival in 1994, which can be downloaded now from Concert Online's Web store. Recordings of concerts by Alice Cooper, Marilyn Manson and Suzanne Vega with first-rate image and sound quality are also currently available.
"We are pleased that this partnership will enable us to feature Eagle Rock, one of the most important producers of concert films, on our platform. The 18 concert highlights that we are distributing effective immediately are no more than an appetizer for what's to come," says Gerrit Schumann, CEO of Concert Online. In the past year alone, the label issued 31 new concert films featuring a wide variety of musical genres, including acts such as Eminem, The Kinks and Motörhead. Of the label's current catalog of more than 500 titles, additional concert films are expected to be available for download by the end of February with more to come. "Concert Online is simply the perfect partner for distributing our concert film catalog," Peter Worsley described the partnership that is expected to be extended to other European markets.
