New York, NY (May 3, 2005) - Eagle Rock Entertainment and Eagle Vision, the exclusive label for the Live at Montreux DVD series, present another string of performances from the world-renowned Montreux Jazz Festival. Bonnie Raitt - Live At Montreux 1977, Joe Cocker- Live At Montreux 1987 and The Moody Blues- Live At Montreux 1991 hit the streets May 31, 2005 on DVD.
Bonnie Raitt – Live at Montreux 1977 captures Raitt at a key moment in her early career. Raitt was supporting her Sweet Forgiveness album when she appeared at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival in 1977. Her cover of Del Shannon's "Runaway" from that release became her first charting single, which would peak at #57 on the Billboard Pop charts. In addition to the powerful guitar playing that had already gained her enormous respect in the blues community, Bonnie Raitt - Live At Montreux 1977 allows an early glimpse of Raitt's magnetic stage presence and vocal prowess that would eventually make her a national treasure. Following her '77 performance, Raitt's star continued to rise, avowing her status as not only a top female performer in rock n' roll, but a musician admired by her peers.
Bonus features on the DVD give a taste of Bonnie Raitt's 1991 festival performance, including
“Three Time Loser” from the Sweet Forgiveness album, “Good Man, Good Woman” and “Papa Come Quick” from her 1991 effort Luck Of The Draw.
