If you have to have absolutely EVERYTHING that Larry and Robben have done, then I guess you need this. Otherwise, get anything else BUT this.
As the other reviews have accurately stated, they don't appear often and the rest of the musicians vary from good to questionable, but not on a par with any of the musicians normally associated with these two. If only I would have read the reviews before buying this...

As a full time working guitarist, I have long been a fan of both Larry and Robben and have most of their recordings, so when I saw this DVD I thought it would surely be a "must have". BUT this is a DVD thats uses their acclaim to sell the product of a less then stellar blues band. There are at least 4 other guitarists that play on this and most get more time soloing than either Larry or Robben.
Although 2 of the other guitarists have nice moments, particularly the "fake slide guitar via whammy bar" performed by one of them, they are on par with decent players at a local bar. Also as someone who has hosted open mics and/or have had lots of people (famous and not) sit in. Common, and musical courtesy, would be to allow your guests more room to play. Even Robben and Larry seem a bit put off by their lack of paticipation in the event. And I an left wondering what got them to commit to such a gig.
Maybe if I come into some money, I'll start hiring great players for "showcase" gigs. But I would allow them to play.
Be forewarned: This is a DVD of a "bar band" that lets Larry and Robben appear occassionally on stage, but never really lets them play. So sad, considering they are true masters of the craft.

Another example of a label trying to cash in on the names of two great musician that make cameo appearance at a concert. Unless you're from France you will probably not have heard of anyone on this venue except Robben and Larry, who play precious little on the whole set. Just a way to separate fans from their money by putting big name players on a no-name band's concert. Unless you are a die hard fan of Robben's and Larry and just want to have everything on which they appear, save your money.

Being a Robben Ford and Larry Carlton fan, I preordered this dvd. I know now, I should have waited a little while for it to come out, and read the reviews. Well,I could not, and went ahead and ordered it. Big mistake. This dvd is aweful. Sub par blues playing, Robben and Larry only appear on and off, which does not even warrant their name being on the cover. Its a disgrace to two awesome players. Who are these other players anyway? Well, If I were you, and if I were a Ford/Carlton fan like myself, and others on here, I would stay clear of this stink pile. Now I use it as a coaster to sit my drink on....

We love Larry Carleton and Robin Ford's blues guitar, but were a little disappointed with this CD. We would have rather heard more blues guitar than vocals.
