Background and release

During January 2016, Joe Bonamassa completed a short acoustic tour in the United States, including regular band members Anton Fig (drums) and Reese Wynans (piano), alongside Chinese-American cellist and erhuist Tina Guo, American mandolin and banjo player Eric Bazilian, Egyptian percussionist Hossam Ramzy, and Australian backing vocalists Mahalia Barnes, Juanita Tippins and Gary Pinto. The tour ended with two performances at New York City's Carnegie Hall on January 21 and 22, which were described in the tour's press release as being the recognition of one of Bonamassa's "childhood dreams".[1] Speaking to Guitarist magazine about the shows, Bonamassa recalled that "Carnegie was a life-long dream because I was a born New Yorker ... [and] Carnegie was this mystical place, you know? They don't run many non-classical concerts through there. So to make it there and to do two nights with this incredible nine-piece acoustic band really means something to me and it was great."[2]

On April 19, 2017, it was announced that the two Carnegie Hall shows would be released as a live album and video entitled Live at Carnegie Hall: An Acoustic Evening.[3][4] Bonamassa differentiated the album from his first acoustic release, 2013's An Acoustic Evening at the Vienna Opera House, by explaining that "Where Vienna was four-piece stripped down as bare bones as it gets, this was an ensemble ... It was a big band".[2] Prior to the album's release, videos were shared of several performances from the shows, including Blues Deluxe song "Woke Up Dreaming", Black Country Communion track "Song of Yesterday", and Blues of Desperation songs "This Train", "Drive" and "The Valley Runs Low".[5][6] Live at Carnegie Hall: An Acoustic Evening was released on June 23, 2017 on double CD, vinyl, DVD and Blu-ray formats.[7] Three songs from the album registered on the US Billboard Blues Digital Songs chart upon the album's release: Bette Midler cover "The Rose" at number 7, "Song of Yesterday" at number 10 and "This Train" at number 12.[8]

Media response to Live at Carnegie Hall: An Acoustic Evening was generally positive. Acoustic magazine awarded it a maximum rating of five stars, hailing it as "a treasure trove for any blues and acoustic fan" and praising the performances of the band's "world-class musicians".[34] Stephen Thomas Erlewine for AllMusic claimed that the album "stands out from his annual electric extravaganzas, sounding a little more subdued and relaxed than its companions", adding that "The songs aren't so much reinterpreted as given a gentler touch, and in a catalog filled with similar feeling records, that distinction is welcome".[35] Classic Rock magazine's Hugh Fielder suggested that the "cold and austere" acoustics of the venue would make a listener "wish for more warmth and passion", but praised the performances of Bonamassa and fellow band members Guo, Ramzy and Wynans.[36] Fielder complained that "The set sags a little in the middle", but added that "that's only in comparison to the full-on focus at the start and the exhilaration towards the end".[36] Reviewing the album for Record Collector, Tim Jones praised Bonamassa as being "on fiery fret form".[37]
