Joe Bonamassa / Live From the Royal Albert Hall
Playing the Royal Albert Hall fulfilled a lifelong dream for Joe Bonamassa. His career path was settled the day his dad played him Cream's Farewell Concert video (also recorded at the Albert Hall), and the young five-year-old was mesmerized by what Eric Clapton was doing on the guitar. On May 4th, 2009 at this same storied music hall, the circle would be completed when Clapton passed the torch to the new blues-rock guitar "God" of the world - one Mr. Joe Bonamassa.
