Movie Reviews of Carlos Santana Presents: Blues at Montreux 2004
Movie Review: The great Mr. Guy
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw Buddy at Montreux last summer, and he was just stunning. Clapton once called him "without a doubt, and by far, the world's greatest rock guitarist - ever", and that was one of the wisest things old Slowhand ever said. So you think, if he's that good, if it's true Hendrix used to kneel before him in the crowd trying to figure out his licks so he could copy him (and there's footage of him doing just that) how come he's not better known? Well, I'll tell you the terrible truth (apart from the fact that he's no songwriter): Buddy Guy's playing always sounds like a pale imitation on disc. Why this should be I don't know. It's not true of many others. The thing is, live, he makes just about every other guitar player sound sloppy and half-hearted. OK, there are exceptions, but this disc has a good example; Buddy jams with Santana, and Carlos plays as well as he ever has. But Buddy's licks are 10 times faster, 10 times more complex, and 10 times more muscular. You think I'm kidding, and sadly, watching this disc may not disabuse you, because you have to really put your ear deep in the headphone to hear it. The other thing about Buddy Guy is, he just keeps getting better. You can find footage of him in the 60s, and yes, he is superb. But just like the true blues man he is, he is only now getting well into his stride. So, in a nutshell, do buy this disc, because it's Mr. Guy at his best. And he truly is just untouchably breath-taking. But if you have a chance to catch him live, then sell your grandmother into slavery if necessary. He's getting old, he won't be around forever, and in the flesh he is quite simply THE best.
Summary of Carlos Santana Presents: Blues at Montreux 2004
July 12, 2004 was a very special night at the Montreux Festival for any blues fan. With Carlos Santana as musical director (and special guest guitarist), three musical legends took to the stage. Each one delivered a full concert set packed with some of the finest blues guitar playing you'll ever hear. Bobby Parker, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown and Buddy Guy are all headline acts in their own right so it was a real coup to get them on one line-up. Throw in the guest appearances by Carlos Santana and Chic maestro Nile Rodgers and blues heaven is complete!Tracklisting:
