Product Description

Etta James made many appearances at the Montreux Jazz Festival across her long and distinguished career from her first concert in 1975 through to her last in 2008. This Blu-ray focuses on the concert from 1993 when she was at her absolute peak and complements it with selected tracks from many other Montreux appearances. It features many of her best loved tracks and songs that she is particularly associated with. Etta James was one of the most respected performers of her generation. In a career stretching over 60 years she was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame and the Blues Hall Of Fame, won 3 Grammys and received many more nominations and was named Female Blues Artist Of The Year on no less than 14 occasions. Sadly, Etta James passed away after a long illness in January 2012 and this Blu-ray is a fitting tribute to one of the greatest female vocalists of the 20th century. / Bonus Features: Over 90 minutes of additional tracks from other Etta James performances at Montreux:
1975: 1) Respect Yourself 2) Drown In My Own Tears 3) W.O.M.A.N. 4) I'd Rather Go Blind 1977: 1) Medley: At Last / Trust In Me / A Sunday Kind Of Love 1978: 1) Take It To The Limit 1989: 1) Tell Mama 2) Something's Got A Hold On Me 3) Breaking Up Somebody's Home 4) I Got The Will 5) Sugar On The Floor 1990: 1) Your Good Thing Is About To End / Track Listing: 1) Funky Good Time 2) Hold On, I'm Coming 3) I Just Wanna Make Love To You 4) I'd Rather Go Blind 5) How Strong Is A Woman? 6) A Lover Is Forever 7) Beware 8) Hard To Handle 9) Just One More Day 10) Come To Mama 11) Why I Sing The Blues

5.0 out of 5 stars ETTA ROCKS MONTREUX ON BLU RAY
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2013

Eagle Rock Entertainment continues it's excellent Blu-ray series on artists who have performed at the Montreaux Jazz Festival with this superb concert featuring the legendary Etta James. As they have shown in recent releases with artists such as Santana, Simply Red, Phil Collins, and B.B. King it doesn't get any better than Eagle Rock when it comes to the ultimate concert experience. The video image is pristine making you actually feel like you're on stage with the artists. But that's nothing compared to the audio. Not only can you hear every single instrument but you may have to turn the volume down it's that loud. Not that I'm complaining. I was hoping that Eagle Rock would release at least one of Etta James concerts at Montreaux and now they have with this release: "Etta James Live at Montreaux 1993". That's a little bit misleading though. Although this Blu-ray focuses on that 1993 concert, fans of Etta James get individual performances from some of her other Montreaux appearances including ones from 1975(her first appearance at Montreaux), 1977, 1978(where she sings The Eagles "Take It to the Limit"), 1989 and 1990. Etta used the best musicians and some of these early performances feature John Paul Jones(Led Zeppelin),Rick Wakeman and jazz greats Herbie Mann and David 'Fathead' Newman. But her appearance in 1993 is the focus of this Blu-ray and she and the Roots Band give one of the best performances ever captured on film. I'm speaking from experience. I've seen Etta James in concert at least a dozen times over the years and will never forget the first time. It was in the early Eighties when she appeared at a local club in Solana Beach(Belly Up) and as soon as she came in the front door I knew she meant business. She was dressed in her black Raiders jacket and was clearly sending a message. It was a great show(a fight even broke out on the dance floor-those were the days!) Anyway, watching this new Eagle Rock Blu-ray brought back a lot of memories. For the 1993 concert she sings a heartfelt version of "I'd Rather Go Blind" and really rocks Montreaux with "I Just Want to Make Love To You". Etta James was one of the greatest singers of all time and will be missed. Sadly, we lost her last year(2012) but fans who never got the chance to see her live can feel what that was like with this superb Blu-ray from Eagle Rock. It comes highly recommended.

Auch ohne Rezension ist diese DVD ein absolutes Muss. Top Ton und Bild trotz der 25jährigen Aufnahme. Ausnahmslos alle Aufnahmen von Montreux in Zusammenarbeit mit Eagle Vision haben mich bis anhin positiv überrascht.
Etta James an diesem Konzert mit ihren Söhnen ist ein Hochgenuss. Gehört in jedes Musikarchiv.

Lei... una delle ultime grandi signore del blues... del jazz... del soul... e del funky... con un'ottima band.
La registrazione video, da 10 e lode... definizione e colori perfetti... nessun difetto... è lì, davanti a voi.
L'audio... forse un pelo al di sotto della perfezione, ma solo forse... forse va bene così.
E lo spettacolo?
GRANDIOSO.
