KIM CLASSEN FOR TVD | On April 19, 2013 Robert Levon Been of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club paid an unforgettable tribute to his late father Michael Been’s legendary band, The Call.
Recorded at The Troubadour in downtown Los Angeles, The Call Live Tribute with Robert Levon Been features original bandmates Tom Ferrier (guitar, vocals), Jim Goodwin (keyboards, vocals), and Scott Musick (drums, vocals) and includes iconic tracks like “I Still Believe,” “Let The Day Begin,” and “The Walls Came Down.”
Formed in 1979, The Call released seven critically acclaimed albums within an eight year period and opened for acts such as Peter Gabriel and Simple Minds. In 1997, The Call returned to the studio after a seven-year break to record Heaven & Back, but disbanded shortly after its release. Michael Been began working as a sound engineer for his son Robert Levon Been’s band, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, but sadly passed away from a heart attack while on tour in Belgium.
The Call Live Tribute with Robert Levon Been not only captures a heartfelt tribute to a father and bandmate’s musical legacy, it captures one of The Call’s first live performances in over 20 years.
