The New Era of Blues May 17, 2008
It seems to me that Chris Rea present us to "New Era" of the Blues. Certainly who watches this show percives that something is new in the way he plays and composes his blue songs. Perhaps it can be defined as "Rocky Blues" with fantastic electric guitars solos and something that tries to approximate rock and blues. Particularly I think he represents what happened in the 70's and 80's blues' transition, I mean in that time blues went to a more sophisticated instrumentals accords with more popular lyrics.So, Rea presents now to us a transition from that time to a new way to make Blues, what we can define as Rocky Blues. We can't also forget an excellent guitar player Rea is. An Excellent DVD that is worth buying and make reflections for next generations of the blues.
Chris Rea rocks round the world! May 4, 2008
Yes, this is one of the best live DVDs I have ever heard. Chris Rea on slide guitar and his band are unbelevable! Played in DTS it is stunning and you can`t quit watching it. Thank you Chris and all that helped create it. From The entire U.S.of A., Mahalo.
Excellent April 13, 2008

Definitely worth buying.

I saw this concert live in Newcastle. This DVD gives a faithful rendition of being there. Chris has moved through many genres from pop to his love of blues. I highly recommend his 11 disc CD set "Blue Guitars" Check the price and remember it contains the DVD "Dancing Down the Stony Road documentary"

Recorded at the Symphony Hall in Birmingham, the DVD captures a brilliant performance on Chris Rea's farewell tour set. To the the delight of fans present on the night, Rea delivers a balanced set of his greatest hits (Road to Hell parts 1 & 2, Stainsby Girls etc) along with selections from his more recent blues/jazz/roots orientated releases. The hits work because they are presented in a stripped back, simplified way that represents more closely how they were original conceived and written (as Rea says in the accompanying documentary DVD - all his songs start out as blues songs). The recent cuts benefit from the live renditions, delivered as they are by a collection of rather excellent musicians who have worked with Rea for quite a long time.
