I just bought this a couple of weeks ago, I finally got the chance to sit down and watch it. Wow what a mind blower, this young man (18 at the time) plays and sings with the conviction of a veteran artist. His guitar playing skills are superb, along with his vocals. This is a must for blues or rock fans, he comes off as very much in control of his game. The other guitarist is no slouch either, he also does some fantastic solos. The drummer is excellent along with his bass player, his band is very tight and of very high quality. The songs are all great, they were good choices for this show. The DTS surround adds a lot to the enjoyment of the show, this is one I bought after reading other reviews. The other reviewers hit the nail on the head with this one, just buy it you will love it.

I have always wondered why jonny lang never put out a dvd. well now he has 9 years after his concert in montreaux. i only wish he had played more songs and maybe did a bonus feature with background footage of him rehearsing. he's a great guitarist and he was great way before a certain john mayer probably even picked up a guitar for the 1st time and jonny is still younger than mayer. mayer thinks he's the only good guitarist in the world. also, jonny has always remained humble the only thing is he switched to christian music so we won't get to see any more blues rock dvds.so this may be your only chance to catch him. it's worth it.

Ive been a fan of Jonny for a while now, and I have a video tape of this concert that I bought more than 5 years ago. I always thought this concert was the best ever, and I wasn't surprise when I learned that it was the concert chosen to be released on DVD... unfortunately, it looks like Eagle Rock entertainment has some problems with this dvd... I can't wait to watch it in HD!

If you ever get the chance to see Jonny Lang live you will never forget it. I have been looking for this DVD for a long time and it is really good. Jonny is in his prime and it is a very good show. The camera work is great and the music is great. If you like great blues music buy this DVD!!!!

This serves as agreat testament to the early part of Johnny's carrer. The timing is just after the release of his second album; I have always felt that his first two albums were his best by far. If you liked early Johnny, this one's for you !

Jonny's strength is certainly in live performance and this DVD is a fantastic representation of that.

Although this performance is heartfelt it's obvious he's a rookie at both blues singing and performing. A rookie blues I guess you could say. I found also his vocals to be terribly slurred, not the least understandable, which may be OK for some but not for me. The video quality is adequate, the audio fair at best.

I have been a fan for 15 years now and have seen Jonny in concert a few times...but this is the best show I've seen. I want more of this Jonny.

A good performance by Jonny and his old band. Why he chose to omit his signature song " I Am " is beyond me. I've seen him perform numerous times over the years and that song is usually saved for the encore. Too bad it was left out of this DVD.

This DVD has great sound, color. I'm not a fan of concert videos that move fast from one shot to another. I get dizzy!! This production makes it easy to sit back and actually enjoy an evening with Jonny Lang. He is a pleasure to watch and listen to. I had the pleasure of seeing him, in Rochester, NY, recently. This video brings it all home, again. Thanks!!
