Live at the Greek Theatre continues Bonamassa's tradition of honoring incredible concert venues like the Royal Albert Hall, the Vienna Opera House, Radio City Music Hall, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and the Beacon Theater. As with all Bonamassa DVD shoots, the performance at the Greek offered a unique presentation of this historical music. <br/><br/>Songs ranged from blues standards to deep cuts, including "Born Under A Bad Sign," "Lonesome Whistle Blues," "Hummingbird," "Let The Good Times Roll," and, of course, B.B. King's famed "The Thrill Is Gone" as the evening closer. For Bonamassa, the tour's importance deepened significantly when B.B., his friend and mentor, passed away two months before it began. "My only regret is that B.B. was not alive to see it," said Bonamassa.<br/><br/>The eleven-piece band included Anton Fig (drums), Kirk Fletcher (guitar), Michael Rhodes (bass), Reese Wynans (piano, Hammond organ), Lee Thornburg (trumpet, horn arrangements), Paulie Cerra (saxophone), Nick Lane (trombone), and a trio of backup singers including Mahalia Barnes, Jade MacRae, and Juanita Tippins.<br/><br/>This tour was a continuation of the celebration of our blues heritage, which began with the 2014 production of Joe Bonamassa - Muddy Wolf at Red Rocks, a tribute to the music of Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf. Both tours gave a portion of proceeds to presenting partner Keeping the Blues Alive Foundation, a non-profit Bonamassa founded in 2011 that promotes the heritage of the blues to the next generation, funds music scholarships, and supplements the loss of music education in public schools.

The Grammy Award Winning album *In Step* is Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Troubles fourth studio, originally released in 1989. Stevie Ray had recently become sober, after years of drug and alcohol abuse. This is a recurring theme on the album.<br/><br/>Unfortunately *In Step* proved to be Stevie Ray's last album with Double Trouble before his untimely death, caused by a helicopter crash, in 1990.

Vaughan Stevie Ray: Texas flood [Vinyl LP]

Den 26e november 1980 intog Albert med sina Icebreakers scenen i Westfalenhalle i Dortmund. Nu 36 år senare kommer hela härligheten i en fin låda, med all music på 2 CD + hela grejen på en DVD.

Var gitarrist Royal Southern Brotherhood - men ville testa sina egna vingar, vilket han här gör för andra gången sedan avhoppet! Stor klass, bra låtar, bra röst, rock-blues en en underskön kombo!!

Vilken pipa! Som en rockigare Joss Stone, backad av sitt supertighta band, får vi rock med blues och soulinfluenser. Hon sjunger enormt bra, och detta gör Breaking free till en verklig kanonplatta, en platta som förgylls av Sonny Landreth's gästspel på låten Wild one.
