Movie Reviews of Legends - Live at Montreux
Movie Review: Almost Like Being There!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had the privilege of seeing David Sanborn live with a band that included a couple of session players whose names I recognized. The show was awesome. It was in a state-of-the-art venue and sounded great.
The day before the show, I stumbled onto this Montreaux performance in a store. As a huge Sanborn and Clapton fan, I couldn't believe my eyes. And Miller, Sample and Gadd? These are all the best in their genre.
The DVD does not disappoint. It is great fun! I enjoyed that it was more of a bluesy soul jazz jam session. Each track, 6-10 minutes in length, gives each musician opportunities to shine. Though Clapton has the fame in this group, he didn't play like he was theee man. He played like he was one of five of the best musicians in the world, with great respect for what the other guys do. In fact, Sanborn may have the most solo time in this show, as they used mostly his tunes. The one other Clapton tune, besides "Layla," "Third Degree," could have benefitted from a Sanborn solo. Clapton seemed to need a song or two to really warm up to these guys. but all of his leads, primarily blues chops, sound great and are very satisfying. I highly recommend this performance from these legendary musicians for your DVD collection.
