Lightning in a Bottle

A one night, one time only concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York City in which some of the greatest performers in the history of Blues music, including BB King, Bonnie Raitt, Steven Tyler and Macy Gray performed together. Captures the emotional spontaneity that only live performances of the Blues can.

PETER RELIC - March 10, 2005

Befitting producer Martin Scorsese's comprehensive ambitions, this lavish all-star blues concert integrates old footage of Son House and Muddy Waters. Best performances: Odetta belting Lead Belly's "Jim Crow Blues" backed by Dr. John and Levon Helm, and Buddy Guy burning down his friend Jimi Hendrix's "Red House." Biggest train wreck: sublime Hubert Sumlin paired with hammy David Johansen. Glaringly absent: any young performers.
