Blu-Ray pressing. The Tour De Force - Live In London series chronicles guitarist Joe Bonamassa's atmospheric rise from the intimate club environment of The Borderline, to the prestigious Royal Albert Hall. Each individual evening was marked by a unique theme with different setlists, arrangements and ensembles providing the viewer with four unique performances. On this performance from the Hammersmith Apollo, he opens with a short acoustic set before moving into a Rock-inspired evening.. It goes without saying that the challenge was daunting, but Bonamassa more than picked up the gauntlet after it was thrown down and delivers a once-in-a-lifetime performance that more than serves as an appropriate career retrospective for an artist who has already achieved so much.
