"One-of-a-kind performances are taking place all the time at the Iridium," says Dough Yoel, producer of the IridiumLive releases. "Our goal is to record as many of these moments as possible and give music lovers the chance to hear and own them. It's akin to the Grateful Dead's 'Dick's Picks' series. These are our golden moments that we wanted to share with you."

The label also will expand the reach of its regular HD audio/video broadcasts of concerts by Mick Taylor, Marshall Crenshaw, Adrian Belew and others on theiridium.com/iridiumlive/ and on Facebook.
