Godsmack plan to smack us visually with their upcoming concert film documenting their final performance with their retired band members, Live at Mohegan Sun, which they plan to release May 1 on Blu-ray/CD and on 2LP vinyl. Check out the full trailer, as well as a preview of the movie that comes via their official video for “When Legends Rise,” below.
The movie, which was directed by Daniel E. Catullo III and produced by Godsmack frontman Sully Erna, pulls from their allegedly last live concert with guitarist Tony Rombola and drummer Shannon Larkin (who announced their retirement last year), which took place on October 26, 2024 at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut.
Erna emotionally stated:
“In February of 1995 something incredible happened to me that changed my life forever…. it was the birth of Godsmack. Thirty years later, on October 26, 2024, another major pivotal moment in my life happened and will once again, change my life forever.
“Fans, friends and family around the world, I could not be more proud or excited to share with all of you the most incredible, piece of work this band has ever been able to capture on film. This new live concert that we are releasing on Blu-ray, CD and vinyl is everything you could ever ask for as a fan of our music, our journey through our career, and our individual personalities.
“Words are simply not enough to translate to you how epic and important this show is. It’s exciting, it’s powerful, and it’s incredibly emotional being the last time you will ever see all four original members doing what we do best onstage together, in a sold-out venue at Mohegan Sun Arena. So soak it all in, even the bonus features. I even encourage you to watch the bonus features first. It’s hard for me to not tear up every time I have watched this.
“Don’t miss this opportunity to own a piece of rock n roll history. Because since the honorable departure of Shannon and Tony, this really is the final curtain call for the Godsmack you have known and loved, for over 30 years.
“Thank you ALL for your loyalty, love and support. Without you, this incredibly special concert could not have been captured. And all though this may end a very important chapter in our lives, fret not, as a new one opens, because the best is still yet to come!”
I don’t think Mohegan Sun will be Tony and Shannon’s last concert, just putting that out there right now.
