Coach House (Page 1 of 2)

Dinner reservations don't necessarily mean you'll be real close to the stage. However, if you talk to the guy with the chart who is seating people and ask him what's the cost to sit up front, he will direct you to another guy who will walk you away from the rest of the people and tell you it's an extra $20 a seat. That's how I ended up sitting dead center, first row with Joe standing over me for most of the show. At least that's the way it was almost 2 years ago. Hey, I guess it's the California way.

I live in Wisconsin and we generally don't play that game.

You're right Rick, really based on how they seat people, there really aren't many "bad" seats in the house. Since we traveled out there specifically to see Joe, we wanted to be right up front. We had dinner reservations, but they weren't that close to the stage, that's when the "alternative" seating method was asked about.

In any case, you're also right about the show and Joe. Rockfarmer, you're in for the show of your life. Joe and the Guys always bring it, so strap into your chair and get ready to fly!

I'll tell you Rick, it was a fantastic four days. My friends Jacque, Ken and I took off from Green Bay and it was -6 degrees F. When we arrived in California it was +65 F and lots of things were green, what a change! Now THATS the kind of whether people should have on January 31st.

Actually, we caught two shows, one was at the Coach House and then the next night at The Galaxy Theatre in Santa Anna. Joe and the Guys tore the roof off both venues. Great memories!!

Many times. I've seen him play as many as four nights straight in one venue myself - the lounge at the Oneida Casino near Green Bay - and he has had 2, 3 and 4 day runs at other venues mainly prior to 2007.

If it were me, I would definitely go both nights. Even if he played the exact same set list it would be worth it, IMO.

OK, my arm is officially twisted. Will have to consult with my banker to see if the expenditure is allowed. If it isn't sold out Wednesday, I'm all over it. Like you say, there is never too much Joe.

Sounds like you need to get some JB to that radio station ASAP. MoJoe magic should never be underestimated.! Good Karma indeed. I hope all that attend help make Joe's 20th anniversary one for the records!!! Ironic it's Veteran's Day!    Cathy

Hey Rick why don't you go for the trifecta and hit the HOB gig in Hollywood Thur., first drink is on me since you're a vet, I tip my hat to you. Besides seeing Joe it's the finals for the Guitar Center Blues guitar competition, we just might see the next "big thing".

J Dawg,
Thanks for the hat tip. I will have to pass on the HOB date.  I had seriously considered it but making that run from San Diego to the heart of the beast on a work night would put a strain on my old bones, much less the return drive which would surely put me back at home no sooner than 4 am. On the brighter side though, with the better half's approval, I am taking my daughter in law to the show on Wednesday since she had to go to class on Tuesday and couldn't make it with the rest of us. Might raise some eyebrows when this vintage gent shows up with some hot asian eye candy on a date. She is a stone fox and another Bonaholic. Rick.
