A "Banner" occasion. Someone please post a picture of the balcony posse. The response from the crowd as we raised it and cheered just before Joe came on was so cool as camera flashes started up all over the hall and everyone started cheering. It looked like Joe peeked out from stage left and raised a fist in salute before the house lights went down and the show commenced. It was a very good show! I'll defer as well to one of the others for a report.
I lost a pound or two from the body wrap smuggling job.  lol It is Sixteen feet long and Eighteen inches high, grommets and sewed seams. Rocket named it and I followed up. 
12 inch black block letters on a white background. BONAHOLICS UNANIMOUS smile

Who wants to hang it next? There was flat refusal from the house management when permission was asked, No one said a thing after the fact.  tongue It should chase Joe from show to show.

....well there are fans... then there's Joe fans... then there's the BonaAmericans!  cool

Well, bright and early this morning, first pm I get is, who else but PattyLuvsJoe. She has dibs on the next go round with the banner. Three shows in the midwest on the way east. Get ready to hoist that bad boy and yell your lungs out. If I had my way, it would head across the pond when the tour heads that way. I'd love a framed shot with a big gang holding the banner and Joe's band in front of the bus some day. Stand by friends, the Slow Train has a full head of steam and it's headed your way.  big_smile  big_smile  cool

Edit, Thanks to GTrovato, here is the gang just before heading in to the show. (all of me is one eye and my pick hat  roll )

"There's a lot of people that are in so much of a hurry to be, I guess, to be famous or that they don't want to take the time to learn to play and do all that.They'd rather just knock it down off a computer and maybe get on a game show and get famous..That's fine if that's what you want to do.

Thanks for the videos Rudy!!  Joe put on another great show as usuall!!

Was that you yelling at someone to "Shut up!!" at the beginning of woke up dreaming video?

Is it me or are these so called fans rude and annoying???  I sat in the front row and had 4 dudes in the 2nd row screaming "Joe, your the best guitar player on the planet!!!" at the top of their voice during the middle of every song!!  Worse yet, one of the guys was pounding on the wood floor as fast and as hard as he could with cowboy boots on!!  Imagine someone taking hammers and using them as drum sticks on the floor. No rhythm or beat to his actions, just pounding his feet as fast and hard as he could.  If my wife wasnt with me there would have been some words exchanged.  Have some consideration people. Does it add to your enjoyment, or are you just starved for attention that badly?

Re: Viva Las Vegas

Good stuff Rudy! I love that red 355 in Happier Times! And Doug, I couldn't agree with you more. I had two jokers sitting in front of me in San Diego that chit chatted loudly back and forth while Joe played. Rude beyond belief! I had to grit my teeth to keep from being an @#$%!%$ and adding to the disturbance.

Re: Viva Las Vegas

Hey Doug.....Yeah....I was quietly telling the knuckleheads to SHUT UP!!!!!  The funny part was when we all got up to hold the banner they got all in a hissy fit!!!!!  Yelling at us to sit down!!!!  It's really annoying when folks are yapping away during some of Joe's lower volume technical songs......Go check my WOD video   just watch from 6:30-7:10!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIODGRJa_n4
Joe gives some "Jersey Shore" idiot some country diddy in the middle of a quieter part of the song!!! It's quite funny!!!!
