What is your very favorite concert video, and why?

Ok finished the concert. You know which song grabbed me the most? It was toward the end, "Fall at Your Feet" - great performance, great instrumentation, really enjoyed that one.

However, you know what song grabbed me the most - in fact I was utterly riveted - was "Amelia," which is (mostly) just Joni and her guitar. She's actually quite good, has a very nice touch. This song really resonated with me; I'm not sure I've ever heard it before. Great performance. (And it brought strongly to mind the Jennifer Warnes Famous Blue Raincoat album.)

"Hejira" is actually the name of the tune; and yes, it is a riveting song/performance! :bow-blue:

Watched this last night, thanks for the rec, Jomari! Enjoyed it very much. Granted, I liked the smaller instrumental ensemble stuff more than the vocal band/orchestra numbers (especially the first one with the smaller group in the beginning right after the big band set), but still it was all good. I'm not all that familiar with Benson, though I do have one of his very early albums.

darn it, then you would've enjoyed Montreux 86 instead more. that might fit the bill better. im glad you enjoyed the concert tho. try the montreux one
when you get the chance. or rent it, its a good show ,albeit picture quality a bit 'harsh' due to the used material, but still enjoyeable.

*edited to reflect proper spelling of montreux and included link...
