Round two! An event that guitar fans simply cannot miss: "Guitar Wars," featuring the gathering of popular guitarists Paul Gilbert, Nuno Bettencourt, and Steve Hackett, alongside John Wetton.
This release captures the full live performance from August 29, 2003! It boasts superb sound quality that puts you right in the middle of the action! You can feel the excitement of the crowd during the live show—there are even moments where they restart a song.
The content spans a generous three hours; while there are designated main artists, the lineup constantly shifts and rotates, creating an incredible spectacle!
A particular highlight is Nuno's featured segment, where Gary Cherone appears to belt out Extreme's "Get The Funk Out" and "More Than Words"! Paul Gilbert also performs Mr. Big tracks with surprising arrangements unlike anything heard before—a must-listen for fans!
The performances by John Wetton and Hackett are also magnificent; their powerful, seasoned musicianship is sure to captivate any listener!
For the final encore, the whole group comes together to play Led Zeppelin numbers! Nuno even takes a turn on the drums for "Communication Breakdown" and "Red Rooster"!
