Lightning in a Bottle

On February 7th, 2003, renowned artists across multiple music genres and generations commandeered the stage at New York City's Radio City Music Hall to pay tribute to their common heritage and passion, the blues. Shared with thousands of fans in attendance, legendary performers from roots, rock, jazz and rap joined forces for a once-in-a-lifetime "Salute To The Blues" benefit concert whose proceeds went to musical education. Lightning In A Bottle follows the story of the week leading up to the concert - including rehearsals and back-stage footage - and the concert itself: a night where the mix of competition and generosity among the more than fifty illustrious artists pushed all of their performances to dizzying heights.
