Lightning in a Bottle

USA 2004, 105 minutes
Dir. Antoine Fuqua
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Music / Jazz & Blues

Aroview: An effectively simple '12-bar' account of the now-famous Radio City Music Hall concert in 2003 which brought together an unprecedented array of blues singers, musicians, acolytes and re-interpreters.

Linking together the artistry of BB King, Bonnie Raitt, Buddy Guy, Dr. John, Jimmie Vaughn, Honeyboy Edwards, Ruth Brown, Macy Gray, Robert Cray, Solomon Burke and... er, Aerosmith, John Fogerty and David Johanson, this fulfils with vintage performances and appreciative, if sadly melancholic backstage interviews.

5 stars (Exceptional) Terrific sound & picture quality & great music! We owe such a debt to Scorcese for capturing the 20thC surge of American creativity forever. Wonderful selections, arrangements, & interpretations - the best. Insightful exchanges between the musicians ~Sandy
