Product Description
Award-winning blues rock star, guitar hero and singer-songwriter Joe Bonamassa s new release, Joe Bonamassa Live From The Royal Albert Hall, a 2-DVD live set, just made it s debut at #6 on Billboard Magazine s Top Music DVD Chart and #10 on the Top Blues Album Chart. The film, released on October 6 by Bonamassa s record company J&R Adventures, captures the intensity and excitement of the May 2009 show that marked Bonamassa s headlining debut at arguably the most prestigious concert venue in the world. May 4, 2009 was a day 20 years in the making, says Bonamassa. I have never been so honored in my life. It was truly larger than the sum of its parts.
At the Hall, Bonamassa had the added honor of being joined onstage by the legendary Eric Clapton. The Guitar Buzz calls it, A must-have DVD for any Joe Bonamassa fan and frankly, any person who plays the guitar and appreciates instrumental mastery at work. Joe Bonamassa is to the guitar what Liberace was to the piano. He s a 6-string maestro. And Brian D. Holland writes in Guitar International, It s not only a momentous occasion for Joe Bonamassa, it s one for bluesrock in general.
This double DVD set, which features a twelve-camera high definition, surround sound shoot produced by Kevin Shirley (Led Zeppelin, Black Crowes, Aerosmith) and an exclusive interview and behind-the-scenes footage with Bonamassa, presents that magical night in full for posterity, and for all the fans that couldn t be among the roughly 5,000 concertgoers filling the seats.
Bonamassa performs with a combination of searing excellence and showmanship that underlined exactly why he has risen to the top of the most punishing circuit in popular music today.

The best blues guitar player alive today November 27, 2009
T. Wright (Bennington, Nebraska United States)
If you like Joe, you'll love this concert video.
Joe Bonamassa shows his awesome technique and phrasing with his lead playing, his voice is in fine form, and his stage presence is exactly what he gives at every performance, which is refreshing since this is THE Royal Albert Hall.
I also love Joe's humble approach to his craft and the honor of playing at such a prestigous venue.
Joe is joined onstage with Eric Clapton, and even Eric knows he's in the presence of something very special.
Buy it know, turn it up!
Like watching living history November 24, 2009
R. Burger (IOWA)
Joe Bonamassa is the present and future of guitar expertise; right before your eyes. His performances are endless guitar licks; that captivate anyone that is around a guitar at all. He plays like he wants to teach you something that he has learned. Joe is very entertaining, very good, a great guy, and well worth everyone taking a peek at the future of blues and blues rock. Any Joe Bonamassa is highly recommended.
MAN CAN PLAY!!! November 19, 2009
Alan Martz (San Diego, Ca., USA)
This show demonstrates that there are some entertainers out there that know how to ROCK THE HOUSE. I recommend this and Joe's other live shows. Each shows a little different side of him, all good.
 A simple review...no endless ramblings. November 19, 2009
Infiltrator (Radec)
Positives;
1. Sound quality/production value
2. DVD layout/packaging
3. Song choice (good mix of rock based, blues based, and slower material)
4. Joe's voice
Semi-negatives;
1. Lengthy guitar solos (especially "Just Got Paid's" transition into Dazed and Confused)
2. Joe's stage presence (tends to just stand there as many reviewers have stated)
3. Royal Albert Hall audience (I know this is the UK, but come on, this crowd looks asleep)
To summarize my opinion, I bought this before I found other videos and performances of Joe's online and on import DVD. I still have played this 2 DVD set a decent amount since it came out, but I think for this being Joe's first professionally produced DVD, he did a great job. I know I will draw a lot of heat for the comment regarding lengthy guitar solos (overplaying), but I would have rather heard more songs than 5 minute extended versions of others. Saying all that, Joe is definitely here to stay.
Excellent work! November 14, 2009

I've been hearing Joe on the radio here and there and not really getting what all the fuss was about. Good playing, good songs but not knocking my socks off. On a whim I previewed a few of the tracks at Amazon and had the "AH-HA!" moment. Some artists just translate better live than in the studio and that seems to be the case here. 5 stars. My favorite track is the robert Johnson tune "High Water"
