"Waited all my life to be someone somebody could see!" Such a beautifully poetic yet melancholic statement! I love it! Monte Montgomery should be a household name! He's a great singer and an AWESOME guitar player!
So glad to see somebody here in 2023/24 who knows who this guy is! I play full-time for a living, and Monte has been inspiring me with his playing lately, and I was blessed enough to find the only 1987 Alvarez Yiari DY62c available for sale a month ago! And the damn thing sounds exactly like he does on stage because of that amazing pick up built into it! 🙌🏻
This is by far the best recording and video of his great anthem. He really nails the vocals here. Kudos to video director Sig. Ongaro for a superb presentation and mix. Always hope that Monte would stretch out on the solo.
MOnte is good but he is not the best. The best is whom Chet Atkins claimed to be and that is Tommy Emmanuel. Monte is certainly a great though. I have seen him a few times and am never tired of seeing his videos either. :)SMILE:)
wow monte you have come along way from the time you were about 13 and i picked you up on highway 16 out side of Fredericksburg Texas and a i gave you a ride to luckenbach texas i said you like to play music looking at your guitar and you said it is the only thing i like
I'm so curious, it's now six years since your comment when Monte lived across the road. By any chance, does he still happen to live across the road from you?
Maurizio, do you have anymore of Monte from Italy? These are great shots! I would be willing to buy anything from you if you have them... I've heard there are also DVDs from guitar festivals over there but don't know how to buy them. Can you help me get my hands on one? Please let me know! Much appreciated my friend :)
Pierpaolo Adda (producer) answering: No, this is part of Monte's performance at one of the various editions of the Soave Guitar Festival he was part of. Monte's concert at the Teatro Olimpico di Vicenza is a fantastic double DVD still available.

Agreed m8!
Totally agree.
Monty shares kudos with Stevie. And Phil Bass is a kick ass drummer.
Badass!

Wow! Just Wow
Outstanding!

i looked up one day and realized Monte lived in the community across the street from mine...I was like, "Hey, can you come over?"
I'm so curious, it's now six years since your comment when Monte lived across the road. By any chance, does he still happen to live across the road from you?
I grew up a couple miles from his mom's house and it's a bar now
fkn awesome
See you February !!!

Thank you for the reply. I see the DVD for Monte at Teatro Olimpico. Is that the same concert that this video here is from?
