This is a really good quality performance, well filmed, great qualty sound, I have two other DVDs of BB King, the Albert Hall performance from 2011 and live by request with jeff Beck on three of the tracks, they are both good DVDs (not blu-ray) but this Blu-Ray from Montreux 1993 is by far the best, crystal clear picture, great sound,fabulous band, and it has been really well filmed, good camera angles, not jumping about, but fading into different shots, the show starts with three tunes by the band before BB King comes on stage, and this gives all the musicians a chance to shine, if your a fan of BB King then you should definitely buy this, and you get three bonus performances from 2006

Extraordinàrio concierto del REY del blues. En plena forma con 67 años. La banda excelente y el temario muy bien. Para ser del 93, la calidad de imagen es excepcional y está al nivel del sonido DTS HD.

1988 habe ich B.B. King in Osnabrück in einem Konzert live erleben dürfen. Damals war ich schon begeistert. Dieser Konzertmitschnitt in Montreux ist allerdings ein wahrer Kracher. Ein toll aufgelegter B.B. King und seine exzellenten Mitstreiter sind ein wahrer Ohrenschmaus und zudem ein tolles visuelles Erlebnis. Ein begeistertes Publikum macht den Abend perfekt. Viele herausragende Songs sind zu hören. Klar "The Thrill Is Gone" ist dabei. Aber auch Songs wie "When It All Comes Down", "Caldonia", "Ain't Nobody Home und "Rock Me Baby" sind als Klassiker zu hören. Amüsant und zugleich ein Zeichen für B.B. Kings Professionalität ist bei dem Song "Chains Of Love" der Wechsel einer gerissenen Gitarrenseite. Da gibt es keine Pause. Da wechselt er die Saite während er singt, so als sei es das selbstverständlichste auf der Welt. Hervorheben möchte ich aber noch unter den tollen Musikern den Trompeter James Bolden. Der ist auch eine Klasse für sich.B.B. King besticht zudem bei aller Show durch sein bescheidenes Auftreten. Es ist eine Freude zu sehen, wie er besonders zum Ende des Konzertes hin auf die Zuschauer zugeht. Die Bild-, Ton- und Klangqualität der DVD ist sehr gut. Die Blu-ray enthält zudem noch als Bonus drei Songs von dem 2006 ebenfalls in Montreux aufgeführten Konzert ("Why I Sing The Blues", "When Love Comes To Town" und "Guess Who")Wer gute Musik erleben möchte, der liegt bei dem Kauf dieser Blu-ray Gold richtig!

This DVD is very similar to the SRO session which came out about three years ago and it was filmed about the time of this set, 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 sound, camera work and production are excellent.Another 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 (This is also when I saw him last in Australia). Just as a matter of interest, the set and band are very similar to the "BB Live" set that came out just about two years ago, filmed at BB's Blues Club in Memphis (and the one in Nashville).This 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 died in 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. This DVD is 99 minutes long and , while it doesn't say it was filmed in HD on the package, on the end credits it does say that, like the Albert Collin's show, it is in fact in HD, the picture is incredibly clear and sharp. And sound is excellent. I would rank the SRO session and this as BB's two best DVD releases.A must have purchase for classic Blues Lovers.
