DEEP PURPLE, YES, SANTANA Topline Montreux HD DVD Triple Header; "Extras" Detailed

High-Def DVD Digest has issued the following report:

A trio of new concert discs from music legends DEEP PURPLE, YES and CARLOS SANTANA, all recorded live at the Montreux Rock Festival, highlight Eagle Vision's summer line-up of HD DVD releases.

Three titles are all set to debut on June 26th: Yes: Live At Montreux, Deep Purple: They All Came Down To Montreux and Santana: Hymns For Peace - Live at Montreux.

Of the three, only the Yes disc is devoid of extras. The Deep Purple release will include a complete ten-song mini-concert recorded live at the Hard Rock London, plus a band interview. Santana's Hymns For Peace will also feature three bonus tracks, behind-the-scenes footage, and an interview with the guitar god.

No tech specs are yet available, but stay tuned.

Note that there was no mention at presstime of any companion Blu-ray release, but Eagle Vision's two most recent high-def music titles, TOTO: Live in Amsterdam and ALICE COOPER: Live At Montreux saw simultaneous release on both next-gen formats, so there's a good chance these three titles will also make it to Blu-ray.

The distributor has set a $24.95 list price for each title in its Montreux triple-header.
