B.B. King - At the Montreux Jazz Festival 1993 

Rip van dvd [2 cd].

-----------------

This performance is from the early 1990s when BB was still touring a lot and was still at the top of his game. Like all of the Montreux Series the recordings are excellent. 
Interesting thing about this performance is that BB stands up throughout it and it really chronicles the last years of this Blues great's live shows.  

The concert was filmed in 1993 and BB is still in top form. The set is an extensive catalogue of his hits and live numbers. The band includes many members that have played with BB for many, many years. Foremost is the great James Toney an extraordinary organ player and keyboardist who just diedin 2007. He was with BB since his famous PBS Jazz Casual session in 1968. Also prominent is the excellent bass player Michael Doster. His nephew and sax player Walter King is the Musical Director and he also is a great musician. This band is impeccable! 

The set list is very comprehensive. It includes a great band "warm up" with the "Two I Shoot Blues" which showcases the great musicianship of BB's band. Highlights of the set list include Louis Jordan's "Caldonia", Ray Charles' "Let The Good Times Roll", the old standard and favourite "Why I Sing The Blues", a newer offering "Blues Man" and of course the seminal "The Thrill Is Gone", always a favourite and always a bit different. 

A must have purchase for classic Blues Lovers.

-----------------

De oorsprong van deze rip is een dvd van uitstekende kwaliteit (HD en 24bits sound track).
Het origineel is ingekort. Aan het begin is de hinderlijke commerciële dvd intro eruit en dat geldt ook voor de wat lange introductie van de band aan het einde. Zonder beeld is dit stuk niet zo interessant.
Na inkorten resteert een 95 minuten muziek track die geknipt is in twee stukken. Part 1 is ca. 44 minuten, Part 2 ca. 51 minuten. Beide zijn voorzien van fade-in en fade-out. Beide omvatten één wav-file.
Cover plaatje is van de dvd.
