A Concert for Ronnie Montrose Film Screening

In April 2012, the Bay Area music community came together to produce “A Concert For Ronnie Montrose – A Celebration of His Life In Music” for legendary San Francisco guitarist Ronnie Montrose, who had passed away from complications from prostate cancer.  The concert was held at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco.  This film documents some of the highlights of that event.  Admission is free.  The concert featured the original Montrose lineup (Sammy Hagar, vocals; Bill Church, bass; and Denny Carmassi, drums), performing the landmark first Montrose album, with special guest Joe Satriani on lead guitar.  The original Gamma lineup (Davey Pattison, vocals; Glenn Letsch, bass; Denny Carmassi, drums) was also on hand, with special guest Marc Bonilla on lead guitar. There was also an All-Star band, comprised of many of the great musicians that Ronnie played with over the years.
