“I am kind of a friend, but more of a fan of his,” Blackmore said of Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull’s frontman and founder. “I have been a fan of his for about 20 odd years, and I think that when he (Jethro Tull) did the War Child tour back in ‘74 I was impressed not only by the music but the whole angle of the minstrel look compared to everybody else playing Led Zeppelin. He is so sophisticated and to my thinking one of the only true Geniuses in Rock Music.”

The same could, of course, be true of Blackmore who has received many honors and was named one of the 100 best guitarists of all time by Rolling Stone. Anyone who frets that Blackmore's musical brilliance has been forgotten need only note that his famous Fender Stratocaster received a standing ovation from this audience.

That’s just one of the many highlights in this set which includes a documentary about the band, a photo gallery, a studio version of “The Village Lanterne” and a radio edition of “All Because of You.” A mini tour program is also included.
