DECADES ROCK LIVE!: BONNIE RAITT AND FRIENDS is a DVD/CD combo, recorded live on 30th September 2005, at Trump Taj Majal, Atlantic City, New Jersey. VH1 Classic presents DECADES ROCK LIVE!: BONNIE RAITT AND FRIENDS was released by Capitol Records on 15th August 2006. VH1 Classic the network breaks new ground with the first-ever DVD/CD release from the innovative concert series. Judging from her two live releases, this and 1995's Road Tested, everyone's favorite slide-guitar-playing, rootsy redhead loves working with other musicians. Generally known for raising the visibility of older blues and R&B legends such as Ruth Brown and Charles Brown, she invites more contemporary stars Ben Harper, Norah Jones, Keb' Mo', and Alison Krauss along for this set. Recorded during a September 2005 evening, this slick DVD/CD package catches Raitt and her muscular four-piece on tour supporting Souls Alike. Perhaps not surprisingly, the setlist is heavily weighted to that album, with nearly half the selections drawn from the disc. Although those songs are well played, they don't differ markedly from the studio versions. Regardless, the duets work well in a restrained VH1 way, with Harper the highlight as he lays into the gospel "Well, Well, Well" and the double-barreled slide showcase "Two Lights In The Nighttime." Raitt's in fine fettle throughout, slinging stinging slide solos and singing with her usual emotional fervor. Oddly, the 52-minute CD version of the 17-song, hour-and-a-half video omits the lovely Norah Jones-assisted "Tennessee Waltz" and Alison Krauss's hoedown on "Papa Come Quick." The professionally shot DVD expands the sound to surround Raitt's earthy performance and classy collaborations with her band and musically amiable guests.

Would that this package were the other way around, but DECADES ROCK LIVE!: BONNIE RAITT AND FRIENDS is a DVD/CD project. The DVD contains an entire set recorded at the Trump Taj Mahal from 2005. Raitt, guitar goddess that she is and overall phenomenal spiritual presence on-stage, is joined by friends Alison Krauss, Ben Harper, Keb' Mo', and Norah Jones for two songs each, while all the while ripping through her own spirited and inspiring repertoire. The CD contains half the guest performances and most of Raitt's own show. For those who are not big music DVD fans, the entirety of the concert would have been wonderful on CD. What's really exciting about the show is that the edges in Raitt's voice that have been there from the beginning of her long and celebrated career, which are so often rounded off on her studio records, are present here, adding to her entirely soulful manner of phrasing and singing. Tracks like "Crooked Crown," "God Was In The Water," "Hear Me Lord," and "Trinkets" are deeply moving. Of her guest performances, "I Don't Want Anything To Change" with Norah Jones is stellar, as is "Unnecessary Mercenary" with funky-as-hell keyboardist Jon Cleary and "Two Lights In The Nighttime" with Ben Harper (all three appear on both discs). But Raitt shines best on her own. She needs no one and never has. There's plenty here to like, and some of it even to celebrate, but fans will have to pick their own moments.
