Product Description
Blu-Ray pressing. 2011 live release from this Rock supergroup featuring Glenn Hughes, Joe Bonamassa, Jason Bonham and Derek Sherinian. The band is a devastating head-on collision between American and British Rock influences: a true supergroup that delivers a titanic rock experience greater than the sum of its supremely talented parts. Recorded in the German cities of Hamburg, Munich and Berlin. Producer Kevin Shirley explains that this live act could be an awesome force of nature to behold; that promised legendary performances like those of our heroes of Classic Rock.

The much anticipated release of BCC-live over Europe(Blu-ray) is one Awesome concert experience. From start to finish the sound quality and picture are 10/10 and the set list is non-stop Rock n Roll.The drums are well balanced and the mix is just as you would expect with regard to stage positioning and volume, as well as the lead vocals being in the forfront. The finale with Glen Hughes singing Deep Purples 'Burn' is a fitting finish. I have over 150 quality concert DVD's and @ 50+ are Blu-ray and this ranks in the Best of the Best. Jason Bonham has never sounded better and Joe Bonamassa has matured beyond belief as an elite Rock guitarist/singer. The venue's in Hamburg and Munich.Germany are way into the concerts as well which the band feeds off of throughout each song.Get this as fast as you can and crank it up! The run time says 60 minutes when in actuality at the end of the concert it was 1 hour 48 minutes.

Was prepared to be underwhelmed when I saw the lineup. I had never REALLY been a fan of any of these guys, even though I'm a musician, but something about the unlikely mixture just seemed "right", so I bought it without even listening to the demos...And RIGHT is just the beginning of the words needed to describe this set. "Powerful", "Ageless", "Beautiful", "Loud", "Exciting", "perfect", etc., all come to mind. This is Bar Room Rock the way you WANT it to be: loud, with attitude, and all the pretentiousness of "Spinal Tap" (via Glen Hughes) but it is just SOOO "Right".As a guitarist, Joe's sound/tone is absolutely KILLER, and I had no idea how wonderfully buttery his vocals were. He takes Hughes to task on some songs and in fact, probably even has a better vocal "purity" than does Glenn, but Hughes has ALL the attitude, despite his age. I really respect that, and it doesn't seem like a "caricature" in this setting.As someone mentioned, the bass guitar is WAAY understated, but that's about the only sonic gripe I have about this DVD. Probably because they were in small venues, and most of the bass guitar was from the monitor instead of the board, and Hughes was using vintage equipment that doesn't have (now) standard "direct outs" that would allow a significant remix to be done without rerecording the bass. And I am SOOO glad they didn't do any rerecording...the flubs are there, just as a live show, even a live show with professionals---that's how you know it BREATHES and LIVES. I wish more people would "keep it real" and not try to fix every little thing. The "American Idol" Generation has RUINED the ears of the general listening public---"perfect" doesn't mean "good".If you love vintage rock and roll, or are a fan of any of these guys, or want to hear some GREAT music with just 4 instruments and a lot of attitude, then you've found it.we need MORE of this kind of music---it's been MIA. So glad BCC has found it!

I second Dave's review on this concert. If you are a fan of classic rock, killer vocals, guitar, keyboards and drums, you must get this disc now. I have been a fan of all these musicians for a very long time. Glenn Hughes, the Voice of Rock, has never sounded better than he does on this video. He is a living legend (just check out Deep Purple's Come Taste the Band and Burn for starters). Joe Bonamassa is the best blues guitarist on the planet, and seriously close to one of the best guitarists period. Joe's voice is also stellar. Keyboardist of the starts Derek Sherinian is no slouch either. Check out his latest release Oceana, for some killer instrumental fusion (also highly recommended is his album Inertia). Rounding out the pack is the son of another legend (John Bonham) and a legend in the making himself, Jason Bonham.If you have even remotely considered getting this blu-ray, then order it now. Stellar performance and sound. As Dave's review stated, I also have a lot of performance video's and this one ranks among the best. This is most definately a 10 out of 10.
