Tour De Force - Shepherd's Bush Empire

Description

The blues super hero finally offers us his tour de force in London in CD format. On October 28, Joe Bonamassa had released not one but four (!!!) new DVDs. Titled “Tour De Force - Live In London,” this unprecedented event featured the 4 concerts the guitarist gave in March 2013 in London at venues as prestigious as the Royal Albert Hall, the Hammersmith Apollo, the Shepherd's Bush Empire and The Borderline. Here is finally the audio counterpart: 4 concerts, but 1 guitarist, in 1 city, 4 different venues and atmospheres, accompanied by 4 different lineups (from power trio to big band) and, of course, 4 different setlists, for a total of 47 different songs and 63 tracks. In short, a true “Tour de Force” from this exceptional guitarist/singer. Thus, we move from the intimate atmosphere of The Borderline (capacity 200) to the stage of the Shepherd's Bush Empire where Joe enlisted the help of a horn section. At the Hammersmith Apollo, he starts the show acoustically before performing his most “rock” songs, while at the Royal Albert Hall he delivers a semi-acoustic / semi-electric show of rare beauty... of course, the songs played several times from one concert to another benefit from different arrangements depending on the venue where they are (re)played... Bonamassa thus brilliantly rises to the challenge he set for himself...
