This is a truly legendary Blues meeting.

Filmed just a year before his untimely death from cancer, this 1992 concert from Montreux finds the great Collins still in fine form. With his trademark Fender Telecaster and distinctive finger picking style well to the fore, "The Iceman" delivers a set that runs from his early million selling single "Frosty" right up to songs from his last studio album "Iceman". As an added bonus there are four lenghty tracks from his 1979 appearance at Montreux to make this a definitive DVD for all blues fans.

They called him the The Ice Man and The Master of the Telecaster, but above all else, Albert Collins was a consummate Texas bluesman. Ice Man or not, Albert was on fire the night of his taping on October 28, 1991. His performance was a wild ride, and the ACL stage proved too small for his antics, so with his long guitar chord in tow he took off into the audience during his ten-minute-plus finale of Frosty. He was first and foremost an entertainer, but nonetheless belongs up front in the pantheon of great blues guitarists.
