GUITAR SUPERSTAR JOE BONAMASSA MAKES RECORDING HISTORY WITH THE GUITAR EVENT OF THE DECADE
4 LEGENDARY CD’S HIT STORES ON May 19 / LP PACK DUE 2 June

On May 19 2014 Joe Bonamassa will release Tour De Force – Live In London (Provogue), an unprecedented live concert event recorded earlier this year at some of the most famous and iconic London venues: Royal Albert Hall, Hammersmith Apollo, Shepherd’s Bush Empire, and The Borderline.

Watch the Official Tour De Force – Live In London EPK here:

Tour De Force – Live In London chronicles 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 listener with four unique performances. His journey begins in the intimate setting of the 200-capacity London Borderline with a three-piece band. The result is a jammy tribute to Bonamassa’s earlier career, with songs he hasn’t played live in years. Next is a blues-themed night at Shepherd’s Bush Empire, featuring a horns section to create a soulful, big-blues-band feel. He then moves to the Hammersmith Apollo which opens with a short acoustic set before moving into a rock-inspired evening. Finally, at the Royal Albert Hall, Bonamassa treats the crowd to a half acoustic/half electric show of his most popular and well-known songs, featuring the acoustic band from his recent acoustic release, An Acoustic Evening at the Vienna Opera House. Each night’s performance features a different selection of songs – over 60 in total and some having never been performed live before – from his extensive career beginning with 2000’s A New Day Yesterday.

The end result more than lived up to its billing as “The Guitar Event of The Year” and saw Bonamassa reliving, revisiting and redefining the many phases and pivotal moments throughout his career over the course of four evenings. It goes without saying that the challenge was daunting, but Bonamassa more than picked up the gauntlet after it was thrown down and delivered a once-in-a-lifetime performance that more than serves as an appropriate career-retrospective for an artist who has already achieved so much.

“London is like my second home,” says Bonamassa. “With these shows, I wanted to give the fans attending the London 2013 shows a real treat – something special to thank them for their unwavering support. Over the years I’ve received audience requests for tracks that we’ve never performed live; it felt right that we delve into the back catalogue and honor London with special and unique versions of these tracks. And now, with the CD and 3LP release, we can share it with my fans around the world.”

Unlike previous Bonamassa live concert recordings, which featured Eric Clapton, John Hiatt, Paul Rodgers, and Beth Hart, Bonamassa’s special guests for these four shows were not musicians, but instead, a small collection of the world’s most renowned guitars: Rory Gallagher’s 1961 Fender Stratocaster, Bernie Marsden’s 1959 Gibson Les Paul and the Peter Greene/Gary Moore 1959 Gibson Les Paul.
