It is sad to see the list of rockers we lose every year. One of the most devastating losses of 2013, was the loss of guitarist Ronnie Montrose. Ronnie influenced so many and will be missed. To honor Ronnie's life, several colleagues and friends decided to take the stage for a memorial concert. Concert for Ronnie Montrose, was a star-studded event, that included guitar greats like Neal Schon, Joe Satriani, Jeff Watson and more. As you would guess, this turns into a bit of a shred fest.
The concert was filmed in San Francisco, where Montrose got his start. The show covers every stage of his career, which includes performances from Gamma and Montrose. Filling in for Ronnie in Gamma was Marc Bonilla, and for Montrose Joe Satriani. This show was amazing and would have been fun to attend, but the Bluray is shot so well, it feels like you have a seat, front and center. This concert was a very fitting tribute to one of the greats. A must for any shred head.
Bottom Line: A fitting tribute to one of the greats. A shred fest from start to finish. If that ain't enough, there is an extra jam session with the boys from Y & T and few special guests.
-Ragman thoroughly enjoyed this one. Shred-age!
