Plot: The United States Congress named 2003 the Year of the Blues as part of an initiative by several musical education groups to make more Americans aware of the history and heritage of blues music, one of America's most important homegrown art forms. To kick off this celebration of the blues, a special concert was held at New York City's historic {~Radio City Music Hall}, and Lightning in a Bottle documents a memorable evening of music from a star-studded roster of artists. Offering a glimpse at the rehearsals and preparations that went into putting the show together as well as the evening's best performances, Lightning in a Bottle includes appearances by B.B. King, Bonnie Raitt, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Macy Gray, Buddy Guy, Chuck D., Solomon Burke, David Johansen, Jimmie Vaughan and Kim Wilson of the Fabulous Thunderbirds, Alison Krauss, and many more. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

I saw most of this DVD on my satellite TV some time last year and thought it was a good live performance by talented blues musicians so decided to buy the double CD and live DVD but for some reason play the CD more saving the best for last with BB King Sweet Sixteen four and a half out of five .

One of the best concert presentations ever!!

If you like blues music, this one is not to be missed. A very well organized concert with a lot of historical pictures and old videos thrown in for representation of some of the artists no longer with us. Lot's of commentary and testimonials from current artists on how they got started and tributes to the ones who inspired them. Really a great presentation.

Why Was Chuck D. On This DVD
Added 12/26/2008
Excellent line-up. At the end of the show all i could think was about all the great artists that could have been on the dvd, but had been left off because of the the lame CHUCK D.(C)RAP.
