3	Following two albums of {{jazz}} and {{soul}} covers, guitarist Joe Bonamassa and singer Beth Hart took to the road in with a "BluesRock Revue". ''Live In Amsterdam'' is a LiveAlbum and ConcertFilm documenting a 2013 show at the Koninklijk Theater Carré in Amsterdam. The majority of both albums are featured, along with Hart's "Baddest Blues".

30	!! ''Live In Amsterdam'' demonstrates the following tropes:
31	* AlbumIntroTrack: "Amsterdam, Amsterdam!"
32	* AwardBaitSong: Hart and Bonamassa both play for high drama on several songs - two albums worth of (mostly) acknowledged {{soul}} classics probably means leaning that way anyway - but special attention goes to the ten-minute "I'd Rather Go Blind".
33	* BluesRock[=/=]{{Soul}}
34	* BookEnds: The opening "Amsterdam, Amsterdam!" and concluding "Antwerp Jam" are jam sessions on the same riff.
35	* CoverAlbum: Aside from a [[MinisculeRocking short]] AlbumIntroTrack and a jam session at the end, Hart's "Baddest Blues" is the only original in the set.
36	* EpicInstrumentalOpener: Bonamassa and the band open "Strange Fruit" with two minutes of a slightly creepy instrumental line before the vocals start up.
37	* EpicRocking: "I Love You More Than You'll Ever Know" (7:54) and "I'd Rather Go Blind" (10:02) are the late showstoppers.
38	* FaceOnTheCover: The duo is featured on the album cover, performing.
39	* GenreThrowback: This is a sixties soul-rock revue in TheNewTens, with most of the song selection reflecting that era. Bonamassa expressly refers to it as an attempt to capture "a bygone era of reaction and spontaneity"
40	* {{Improv}}: Hart alternates between coming up with lyrics and {{Scatting}} during "Antwerp Jam".
41	* LetsDuet: Noticably [[AvertedTrope averted]] - though he has a great deal of experience singing, Bonamassa doesn't contribute any vocals here.
42	* LiveAlbum
43	* RearrangeTheSong: A natural consequence of playing a few vocal {{jazz}} numbers as rock songs. The two Melody Gardot songs are also slightly tweaked from the album here, played without a string section by necessity.
44	* SomethingBlues: "Baddest Blues"
