Etta James made many appearances at the Montreux Jazz Festival across her long and distinguished career from her first concert in 1975 through to her last in 2008. This DVD focuses on the concert from 1993 when she was at her absolute peak and complements it with selected tracks from many other Montreux appearances. It features many of her best loved tracks and songs that she is particularly associated with. Etta James was one of the most respected performers of her generation. In a career stretching over 60 years she was inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame and the Blues Hall Of Fame, won 3 Grammys and received many more nominations and was named Female Blues Artist Of The Year on no less than 14 occasions. Sadly, Etta James passed away after a long illness in January 2012 and this DVD is a fitting tribute to one of the greatest female vocalists of the 20th century. / Bonus Features: Over 90 minutes of additional tracks from other Etta James performances at Montreux:1975: 1) Respect Yourself 2) Drown In My Own Tears 3) W.O.M.A.N. 4) I d Rather Go Blind 1977: 1) Medley: At Last / Trust In Me / A Sunday Kind Of Love 1978: 1) Take It To The Limit 1989: 1) Tell Mama 2) Something's Got A Hold On Me 3) Breaking Up Somebody's Home 4) I Got The Will 5) Sugar On The Floor 1990: 1) Your Good Thing Is About To End / Track Listing: 1) Funky Good Time 2) Hold On, I'm Coming 3) I Just Wanna Make Love To You 4) I'd Rather Go Blind 5) How Strong Is A Woman? 6) A Lover Is Forever 7) Beware 8) Hard To Handle 9) Just One More Day 10) Come To Mama 11) Why I Sing The Blues

Peaches Was A Stone Soul Singer Who Made It!!
Ms Etta James was a Real Singer did it her way and will be missed she was a down to earth person funny and caring I can honestly say I went to many Etta James concerts in town and in San Francisco, Las Vegas too. I dedicated this CD & DVD to my brother in-law Angel Rodriguez who first told me about Etta back in the 60's. Damn the girl can sing and she made me a fan for many many years. Peaches you may be gone but I will always carry you and the music in my heart God Bless and the the family too. Her two sons you can play, your band was tight and I hope you continue in the music buz. The little girl sure looks like Etta..smile. Buy the CD "Sugar On The Floor" a song Etta tore up and see Ms James live on the DVD too. Keep Soul music alive.!

Definitely different.....didn't realize Etta was so naughty! Got to see a different side of her than what I grew up with on the radio.

Front row seats to the great Etta James!
The world of music lost Etta James this year and it was such a sad time for fans like me who never got the chance to experience Ettalive. But thanks to Eagle Rock entertainment AT LAST we as Etta James fans have something to sing about! Etta James Live at Montreux 1975-1993.I always wondered when any one of Etta's performances from Montreux would see the light of day and thensurprise, we not only get her full stellar set from 1993, but also parts of other great sets from the 70's and 80's.The people at Eagle Rock have done such a great job of packing as much as they can of our dear Etta in thisgreat DVD.

A must have!
This DVD is the best! It is the next best thing to seeing her live in concert. I saw her twice in concert, and although Etta James is no longer with us, this DVD is a wonderful and lasting ttibute to a great songtress and entertainer. RIP Etta.

volume goes in and out
Etta James is fabulous... be aware though there is some profanity and sexual remarks throughout the performances.She does sing away from the microphone at times, so you lose the sound. Also, the volume goes in and out during a couple of the band performances.

Essential Etta!
Can't fault the performances even though Ms. James veered too far from the original renditions for me.

ETTA
I can understand Etta getting upset about Beyonce singing her signature song At Last. On this disc, she shows how it is done through the years.. Great band, think I even see Herbie Mann at one point. Love this Lady.
