Myself and Flight959 went to see Joe Bonamassa last night at the RAH. It was a VERY good show. The Green/Moore burst was as revered by the audience as Joe himself. He talked a tiny bit about it.

 

I had remembered that another member, GaryMooreTribute, was going, we managed to make contact and waved across the auditorium and then managed to meet on the train back for a chat. It was a good night! Cheers for the beers Flight! I passed your thanks on to T.

 

The set was in two halves. An acoustic set first for the new album and then some electric blues/rock after the intermission.

 

Thanks JB! A damned fine show!

I bet it was good!!! He has played there before. On the PBS station here in the US they will show a live concert from about 2 years or so ago. Funny how he seems to be playing over there in Britian more than here in the states. He is a pretty good player!! Tim

Anyone got a link to the PBS acoustic show? I saw him here in Valencia a few years ago when The Ballod of John Henry first came out... He was selling the CDs in the lobby of the 2 or 300 hundred capacity dance club that sometime has a concert... I took this video at the end of the show....... I also got tons of great photos... :-)

I remember you mentioning it a while back that you were going and being slightly envious. I can imagine a JB gig would be unbelievably loud because one of the tricks he uses to get his tone. I like watching his RAH vid on youtube. His bass player is pretty awesome although I must admit I dont know much about his band. Having 2 drummers is a cool idea though, adds to the atmosphere I imagine.

I was fortunate enough to see Joe on his acoustic tour. It was fantastic! His band was stellar as well. I hung out after the show and got to meet him and his band while they signed autographs. Talked briefly to him about guitars and string gauge etc. Here a few pictures I snapped. I can`t wait to see him again, this time electric.

Hello!

 

Well...I see how many of You are impressed by Him. What I have heard from Him yet, did not have that effect on me.

 

That many fans of blues guitar playing can't be wrong. It must be that I have chosen the wrong tracks to start with.

 

If You wanted to show someone how great He is, what would You recommend listening too? I have to make a second attempt.

 

Thank You in advance!

 

Cheers... Bence

If you get a chance, start looking at his you tube stuff! all of his cds are pretty sweet and he is a player who is not stuck in any kinda rut ! but the BLUES DELUXE cd AND LIVE AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL DVD are awesome to me! [love]
