Connie, I know there are several Bonamassa specials currently making the rounds (He's HOT!). My favorites are "Live At The Royal Albert Hall" (with two drummers) and "Black Country Communion - Live Over Europe". This song is one of latest from Black Country Communion and features Glen Hughes at his best. His playful posing and jig-like dances are a delight to behold and he's one of very few performers who can upstage Joe.

Glen's career spans 5 decades beginning in England with acts like Finder's Keepers and Trapeze in the 60s. He was quickly established as one of the finest bassmen/vocalists in Europe, second only perhaps to Jack Bruce. His credits include 30+ solo albums, over half a dozen with Trapeze, more than 23 albums as Deep Purple's on again/off again front man, several stints with Black Sabbath, as well as a long string of tours and albums with artists as diverse as Gary Moore, Jeff Scott Soto, Quiet Riot, Uriah Heep, Keith Emerson, Asia, Geoff Downes, Mötley Crüe, Lynch Mob, Climax Blues Band, Jon Lord, Pat Travers, Whitesnake, Roger Glover, XYZ, Night Ranger and Tommy Bolin just to name a few. His work with Joe Bonamassa, Jason Bonham and Dream Theater's Derek Sherinian on keyboards is perhaps the capstone of a truly amazing career and his joyful shoe shuffling antics, soaring vocals and ridiculously savage bass lines on this song make the "Live Over Europe" show one of the best concert film's I've ever seen.
