Back in 1994, the former vocalist for Free, Bad Company and The Firm had a solo band that consisted of musical luminaries Neal Schon and Jason Bonham. If that is not enough to convince you to buy this CD and DVD, which is sold separately, then perhaps knowing that Queen’s Brian May appears on several songs will help you decide. Other guests include Toto’s Steve Lukather and several blues masters. Knowing all of this, you should now be well on your way to clicking over to Amazon.com to place your order.

Rodgers is an amazing singer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter on his own, but surrounding him with this much talent means this is a once in a lifetime experience. The set list is full of classics including “Wishing Well,” “Fire and Water,” “Muddy Water Blues,” “Good Morning Little School Girl,” “Mr. Big,” “Feel Like Making Love,” “Hunter,” “Can’t Get Enough of Your Love” and “All Right Now.” Throw in an encore that features the classic “Crossroads” and a huge blues jam on “Hootchie Coochie Man” and you have a sterling set of amazing music. “Hootchie Coochie Man” sees Eddie Kirkland, Brian May, Luther Allison, Robert Lucas, Kenny Neal and Sherman Robertson all take the stage with Paul’s band resulting in something that must be heard to be properly appreciated.

While the CD is great, and will find its way into your player again and again, the big winner here is the DVD, as witnessing this event just kicks the whole thing into another dimension. This one is a winner from start to finish.
