The first installment! An event that guitar fans simply cannot miss—"Guitar Wars"—brought together popular guitarists Paul Gilbert, Nuno Bettencourt, and Steve Hackett, along with John Wetton.
This release features a complete recording of both the public rehearsal on August 28, 2003, and the main concert on August 29!
Spanning a generous three hours, the show features designated lead artists, but the constant rotation of band members creates an incredible, dynamic atmosphere.
A particular highlight is Nuno's featured segment, where Gary Cherone makes a surprise appearance to belt out Extreme's hits "Get The Funk Out" and "More Than Words"!
Paul Gilbert also performs Mr. Big songs with surprising, fresh arrangements—a must-hear for any fan! The performances by John Wetton and Hackett are equally superb; their powerful, seasoned musicianship is sure to captivate listeners. For the final encore, the entire lineup joins forces to play Led Zeppelin classics! Nuno even takes a turn on the drums for "Communication Breakdown" and "Red Rooster"!
