The Riot City Blues Tour

'The Riot City Blues Tour' is the first ever DVD release from legendary iconic band, Primal Scream. Released by Liberation Entertainment on the 6th August 2007 to coincide with the bands 25th anniversary, this DVD contains over two hours of concert footage alone and features 12 of their promo videos including Loaded, Movin' On Up, Rocks and Country Girl.

Primal Scream played to a sell-out crowd at London's Hammersmith Apollo back in November 2006, and their stunning live set is captured here on 'The Riot City Blues Tour'. Seventeen of their greatest hits, including the first live performance of Loaded in over three years make up this formidable set. Include candid backstage footage, never-before-seen interviews with front-man Bobby Gillespie and infamous bass guitarist Mani, plus a dozen electrifying promo videos and you're left with the definitive Primal Scream anthology.

After 25 years in the business, 18 hit singles, 11 albums and a quintessentially rock 'n' roll reputation, NME honoured the Primals with their 'Godlike Genius' award at the recent NME Awards Ceremony – they follow in the footsteps of previous winners Ozzy Osbourne, The Clash, New Order and Ian Brown. 'The Riot City Blues Tour' captures the story so far of a band praised for their ability to change with the musical times, with a hotly anticipated new album on the horizon, here's to the next twenty five years!
