DVD : Bonnie Raitt - Live at Montreux 1977 |
- If u like Bonnie, this is interesting early stuff by her.This video is old, Bonnie is much better now. If u are curious as to what she did, when she was coming up, then this is ok to get. Not a very exciting video, but she's nice on it. It has a terrible resale value.

- Bonnie Raitt live at MontreuxAny Bonnie fan would love this dvd. It's in her earlier years and shows the great finger picking skill on the guitar. Then moves on to her repeat performance in 1994 where she's added the blonde tips and the slide for the guitar

- Bonnie Raitt & band in their primeThis is heavy on material from "Home Plate" and "Sweet Forgiveness", & thankfully is from the pre-cocaine days. Watching this was like a look back at a slimmer, less-gray me. The performance is A1, and both the audio & video recording are excellent. The extras from '91 are OK, too, but this from 1977 is when I saw Bonnie & band every time I could for at least 8 or 9 years. I watched this for this first time with my best friend, and she was almost in tears she was digging it so much. Needless to say, I had to buy myself a new copy the next day, as I didn't have the heart to take this away from her. Just buy it.

- Ravina Festival - Bonnie Raitt Concert - Highland Park, IL - Bonnie Raitt Concert, June 23 & 24th, 2006 at the Ravinia Festival (which is a beautiful place to go see a concert), in Highland Park, IL. at 7:30 p.m. was absolutely "awesome". The night she played there, she sung most of her songs from her newest album, "Souls Alike". The night was beautiful at the Ravinia Festival and she played in the Pavilion. She played along with Keb'Mo, whom was the opening act and later after her performance which won a standing ovation, the both of them played together. Keb'Mo was outstanding. If you are a Bonnie Raitt fan as I am, you would have had a wonderful time. I pray
that her performance June 23 & 24, 2006 will soon be put on DVD, I will be the first to buy it.

- BONNIE'S EARLY-PERIOD PEAKAnyone who is a die-hard Bonnie fan should enjoy this DVD.
I feel a particular nostalgic twinge watching it because it
was recorded about a month before I first saw her in concert.
This performance captures a younger Bonnie ripping through a
"best-of" her early material. Many of my favorites of that
period are included: "Give It Up Or Let Me Go", "Love Me
Like A Man", "Home" and especially "Good Enough", the song
that SHOULD have been her first hit. You'll chuckle at the
primitive visuals: strange, extreme closeups, her bassist
Freebo's "Roseanne Roseannadanna" haircut, and those stage
lights which have that 70's latenight TV Record Promo "twinkle".
BUT, Bonnie's vocals and smoking guitar playing were as great
then as they are now. This is truly a lost treasure for long-
time fans, and something that newer fans should find very
enjoyable. Almost 30 years after this was filmed, Bonnie Raitt
is still one of a kind!
