Tour de Force: Live in London - Hammersmith Apollo (Blu-ray)

Blu-ray pressing. The Tour de Force - Live in London series chronicles guitarist Joe Bonamassa's atmospheric rise from the intimate club environment of the Borderline, to the prestigious Royal Albert Hall. Each individual evening was marked by a unique theme with different set lists, arrangements and ensembles providing the viewer with four unique performances. On this performance from the Hammersmith Apollo, he opens with a short acoustic set before moving into a Rock-inspired evening.. It goes without saying that the challenge was daunting, but Bonamassa more than picked up the gauntlet after it was thrown down and delivers a once-in-a-lifetime performance that more than serves as an appropriate career retrospective for an artist who has already achieved so much.

Joe Bonamassa's Tour de Force: Live in London video series presents four concerts recorded in the U.K. that feature the famed New York guitarist and his band in various settings that document his career. Each of the four DVDs is loosely themed and includes music that Bonamassa had recorded but seldom if ever played live. Though the track lists may be similar, various themes change up the arrangements night to night. This date, the third in the series, is subtitled on his website as Rock 'n' Roll Night. That said, it contains a brief solo acoustic set followed by the blazing rock & roll show. Highlights of the evening include his cover of Tom Waits' "Jockey Full of Bourbon," "When the Fire Hits the Sea," and a scorching "John Henry." Also included here is behind-the-scenes and interview footage., Rovi
