With this career-defining moment, Bonamassa joined hundreds of legendary entertainers who have graced the same stage, from Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Linda Ronstadt, Liberace, Sammy Davis, Jr., Ray Charles and BB King to Bette Midler, Stevie Wonder, Tony Bennett, Billy Crystal, The Eurythmics, Barry Manilow, Liza Minnelli, Sting, and many others. Bonamassa couldn't be more thrilled, and more humbled, to be in the company of these icons.

"I am extremely honored by a lot of things in my career, but honestly, as a born New Yorker, getting the opportunity to play the world's premier concert theater will always be something I look back on and cherish. Thank you to the ten thousand people that came out over those two nights. It was a great honor," said Bonamassa.

These shows were the culmination and the finale of Bonamassa's special half acoustic/half electric tour, which he showcased around the world for the past year and half. The first set has Bonamassa playing alongside the acoustic band "The Huckleberries" from his #1 Billboard CD/DVD An Acoustic Evening At The Vienna Opera House (Irish fiddler Gerry O'Connor, niyckelharpa and mandola master Mats Wester, keyboardist Reese Wynans, and percussionist Lenny Castro). He then shifts into electric mode for the second set with his regular touring band (bassist Carmine Rojas, keyboardist Reese Wynans, drummer Tal Bergman, trumpeter Lee Thornburg, trombonist Nick Lane, and saxophonist Paulie Cerra).

Elmore Magazine praised the performance as "musically enrapturing and visually stunning" and called the overall evening "outstanding."

The history of the venue, coupled with the unique performance, make this a very special collector's item for music fans everywhere who desire to relive Bonamassa's dream-capturing moment for years to come.
