In January 2015, Joe Bonamassa took the stage at Radio City Music Hall for the first time for a sold-out, two-night run.  These concerts have been nicely captured on CD and DVD/Blu-Ray and a version will also air this fall on the Palladia HD TV network.

It seems that Joe has been on a mission to record and release a live album from all of his “fantasy” venues.  Live at Radio City Music Hall is live album number eight, and features over 75 minutes of music, including two newly recorded songs, nine unreleased live tracks, over 2.5 hours of live footage, a special 45-minute behind-the-scenes featurette, a 40-page collector’s book with exclusive photos, and a sneak peek into Bonamassa’s childhood home and musical heritage. The package definitely was obviously put together with the afficiando in mind.

These shows were the culmination and the finale of Bonamassa’s special half acoustic/half electric tour, which he showcased around the world for the past year and half. The first set has Bonamassa playing alongside the acoustic band The Huckleberries and features Irish fiddler Gerry O’Connor, Mats Wester on niyckelharpa and mandola, keyboardist Reese Wynans, and percussionist Lenny Castro. He then shifts into electric mode for the second set with his regular touring band of bassist Carmine Rojas, keyboardist Reese Wynans, drummer Tal Bergman, trumpeter Lee Thornburg, trombonist Nick Lane, and saxophonist Paulie Cerra. As one would expect, Joe covers a lot of territory here. The electric set has Joe sporting a slightly brighter guitar tone that seems to work nicely with the “uptown” horn arrangements.  On the acoustic set he gets a bit country-ish with “Trouble Town” and “Still Water.”  The acoustic material is very tuneful and provides a nice dynamic against the high energy electric set.  All in all, Live at Radio City Music Hall is more traditional both on the electric and the acoustic sets but never sacrifices the blistering lead guitar that we have come to expect from Mr. Bonamassa.

I wasn’t sure what to think when I read that J.B. was doing yet another live album.  However, this one has some nice variations on his style and as always the playing is flawless. Live at Radio City Music Hall is a must have for all true Joe Bonamassa fans.

In January 2015, Joe Bonamassa took The Great Stage at Radio City for the first time in his career for a sold-out, two-night run that he called “a dream come true” and “one of the most incredible experiences of my life.” These shows were the culmination and the finale of Bonamassa’s special half acoustic/half electric tour, which he showcased around the world for the past year and half.

The first set has Bonamassa playing alongside the acoustic band “The Huckleberries” from his #1 Billboard CD/DVD An Acoustic Evening At The Vienna Opera House (Irish fiddler Gerry O’Connor, nyckelharpa and mandola master Mats Wester, keyboardist Reese Wynans, and percussionist Lenny Castro). He then shifts into electric mode for the second set with his regular touring band (bassist Carmine Rojas, keyboardist Reese Wynans, drummer Tal Bergman, trumpeter Lee Thornburg, trombonist Nick Lane, and saxophonist Paulie Cerra).

The CD features 13 songs – two brand new songs and seven that have never been recorded live. The DVD features 15 tracks alongside a 45-minute bonus featurette, which includes behind-the-scenes, backstage, and dressing room footage, and a sneak peak into Bonamassa’s childhood home and musical heritage.



In January 2015, Joe Bonamassa took the iconic Great Stage at Radio City Music Hall for the first time for a sold-out, two-night run that allowed him to fulfill his lifelong dream of performing in one of the world's most legendary venues. On October 2, 2015, Bonamassa will share this experience with fans and music lovers around the world when he releases Joe Bonamassa Live At Radio City Music Hall (J&R Adventures) as a CD/DVD set and CD/Blu-ray set. It will also air this fall on the Palladia HD TV network.

The set features over 75 minutes of music, two newly recorded songs, nine unreleased live tracks, over 2.5 hours of live footage, a special 45-minute behind-the-scenes featurette, a 40-page collector's book with exclusive photos, and a sneak peek into Bonamassa's childhood home and musical heritage. Everything is presented in a beautifully designed package a perfect Christmas and Holiday gift for music lovers everywhere.

With this career-defining moment, Bonamassa joined hundreds of legendary entertainers who have graced the same stage, from Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Linda Ronstadt, Liberace, Sammy Davis, Jr., Ray Charles and BB King to Bette Midler, Stevie Wonder, Tony Bennett, Billy Crystal, The Eurythmics, Barry Manilow, Liza Minnelli, Sting, and many others. Bonamassa couldn t be more thrilled, and more humbled, to be in the company of these icons.

'I am extremely honored by a lot of things in my career, but honestly, as a born New Yorker, getting the opportunity to play the world s premier concert theater will always be something I look back on and cherish. Thank you to the ten thousand people that came out over those two nights. It was a great honor', said Bonamassa.

These shows were the culmination and the finale of Bonamassa's special half acoustic/half electric tour, which he showcased around the world for the past year and half. The first set has Bonamassa playing alongside the acoustic band The Huckleberries from his #1 Billboard CD/DVD An Acoustic Evening At The Vienna Opera House (Irish fiddler Gerry O Connor, niyckelharpa and mandola master Mats Wester, keyboardist Reese Wynans, and percussionist Lenny Castro). He then shifts into electric mode for the second set with his regular touring band (bassist Carmine Rojas, keyboardist Reese Wynans, drummer Tal Bergman, trumpeter Lee Thornburg, trombonist Nick Lane, and saxophonist Paulie Cerra).

Elmore Magazine praised the performance as musically enrapturing and visually stunning and called the overall evening outstanding.

The history of the venue, coupled with the unique performance, make this a very special collector s item for music fans everywhere who desire to relive Bonamassa's dream-capturing moment for years to come.

Joe Bonamassa ist Livemusiker durch und durch. Das zeigt schon die Tatsache, dass der Bluesrocker mit 13 Livealben mittlerweile fast genauso viele wie Studioalben veröffentlicht hat. Dennoch: Auch »Live At Radio City Music Hall«, die Nummer 14 auf der Liste, ist ein völlig neues Album und mit seinen Vorgängern nicht zu vergleichen.

Wie bereits der Name verkündet, gastierte Joe Bonamassa dafür an zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Abenden im Januar 2015 in der Radio City Music Hall in New York – ein besonderer Ort für den Gitarristen, der selbst New Yorker ist und den Konzertsaal unlängst als den schönsten der Welt bezeichnete. Vor ihm hatten dort bereits namhafte Künstler wie Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Ray Charles, B.B. King und Stevie Wonder gespielt – somit also die richtige Location für das Finale seiner eineinhalbjährigen Welttournee und den Mitschnitt seiner Konzerte.

Rund 10.000 Zuschauer waren live dabei, als der Musiker viele seiner Hits wie »Different Shades Of Blue« oder »Happier Times« und einige Coversongs, zum Beispiel »Hey Baby« von Jimi Hendrix und »I Can’t Be Satisfied« von Muddy Waters zum Besten gab. Zudem präsentierte Bonamassa mit »Still Water« und »One Less Cross To Bear« zwei ganz neue Songs.

Die Konzerte bestanden an beiden Abenden aus zwei Hälften: einer akustischen und einer elektrisch verstärkten. Erstere von beiden bestritt der Musiker gemeinsam mit der Band The Huckleberries. Der Geiger Gerry O’Connor, Keyboarder Reese Wynans, Percussionist Lenny Castro sowie Mats Wester an Schlüsselfiedel und Mandoline hatten Bonamassa bereits bei seinem »Acoustic Evening At The Vienna Opera House« (2012) begleitet. Den zweiten Teil des Abends spielte mit Bassist Carmine Rojas, Keyboarder Reese Wynans, Drummer Tal Bergman, Trompeter Lee Thornburg, Posaunist Nick Lane sowie Saxofonist Paulie Cerra die reguläre Tourband Bonamassas an der Seite des Gitarristen.

»Live At Radio City Music Hall« ist ein Mitschnitt dieser besonderen Performances. Mehr als zweieinhalb Stunden Liveshow bieten die CD und DVD bzw. CD und Blu-ray, darunter sieben Titel, die bis dato noch nie als Live-Versionen erschienen sind. Zudem gibt es ein 45-minütiges Behind-the-scenes-special und ein 40 Seiten starkes Begleitbooklet. Die Tonaufnahmen sind weiterhin auch als Doppel-LP erhältlich.

Joe Bonamassa hat ihn einfach: den Blues. Am 23. und 24. Januar 2015 hat er das dem Publikum in seiner Heimatstadt New York bewiesen, mit »Live At Radio City Music Hall« beweist er es uns.

»Beim CD/DVD-Bundle bietet die DVD dabei zwei Songs mehr als die CD sowie als Bonus zudem ein rund dreiviertelstündiges „Behind The Scenes”-Feature.«
