Bonamassa Joe: Tour de Force / Borderline 2014

Blues-rock star Joe Bonamassa with Tour De Force - Live In London, an unprecedented live concert event recorded in 2013 at four iconic London venues which he has previously played: The Borderline, Shepherd"'s Bush Empire, Hammersmith Apollo, and the Royal Albert Hall. The sold-out concerts, which saw over 12.000 fans in attendance, chronicle Bonamassa"'s atmospheric rise from the intimate club environment of The Borderline, to the prestigious Royal Albert Hall. Every individual evening was marked by a particular theme - his early trio years, the blues, rock and roll, and an all encompassing set at the Albert Hall - and every setlist, arrangement and ensemble was designed to fit in with the evening"'s prescribed theme providing the viewer with four different and unique performances. Each corresponding disc in the set features a different selection from over 60 songs played from his extensive catalogue - some having never been performed live - with a different and unique band configuration to highlight the diverse elements of Bonamassa"'s style. About the Borderline show: This 200-seat club in the heart of London was chosen to stage a revival of Bonamassa"'s early career power-trio jam nights. Armed with a Fender Stratocaster - Bonamassa along with a single drummer and bassist launched into a setlist marked with extended takes of songs from his first set of albums.
