A powerhouse lineup of rock legends came together for a special performance of Black Sabbath’s “War Pigs” and Bad Company’s “Shooting Star,” and fans can now watch the professionally filmed footage.

The performances were recorded on March 2, 2026, during the first-ever Palm Springs Sound & Vision Awards at the historic Plaza Theatre. The all-star lineup featured Corey Taylor (Slipknot), Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath), Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme) and Matt Sorum (Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver).

The event was created to celebrate Butler and legendary singer Paul Rodgers, while also raising money for the Adopt The Arts Foundation. The organization, co-founded by Sorum and actress Jane Lynch, works to keep music education alive in public elementary schools.

The night brought together an impressive list of musicians, including Lzzy Hale, Glenn Hughes, Robert DeLeo, Steve Stevens, Phil X and Charlie Starr.

Sorum originally had the show filmed simply to preserve the night, but after seeing the footage, he realized the performances could become something much bigger.

“We had captured something truly magical — the energy in the room, the performances and the spirit of all these amazing artists coming together for the kids.”

The footage will be included in the upcoming “Sound & Vision Live” concert film, while the performances are also being released as a limited-edition double vinyl album.

Only 2,000 copies will be produced, with sales proceeds going directly toward supporting music education.

The official release celebration and film screening are scheduled for September 13, 2026, at the Plaza Theatre in Palm Springs.
