Topic: Greenville, SC December 3, 2012

The beautiful Peace Center had 2,200 Joe fans wonderfully delighted with another stellar show.  Sound was very good, not quiet as good as Durham, some of the vocals would get lost just a tad at times, but not super noticeable.

Joe, Carmine, Rick and Tal were tight as usual and the chemistry was sheer energy.  The Set List was almost the same as  Durham but without Blues Deluxe but So Many Roads was in the mix tonight.  Maybe about  5 minutes shorter overall.  Joe played a Gold Top Gibson on Sloe Gin and JGP that had not been used on stage since 1995.  Really great sounding vintage guitar for sure. Got some decent pictures that I will post later. Great to catch up with Carmine to see how the tour is going and really anticipating the London shows next March.  Super to see Kathy and Randy from Athens.  She almost caught Joe's glasses but just missed, by that much!  Rich, from Charlotte,  was taking his brilliant pictures too.  Got to meet Joe's new tour manager, seems like a nice dude.

Until the next show! Jacksonville i.e.

p.s. Joe: hope you enjoyed Subway, eating fresh...  lol

Yes, it was an awesome show. Joe gives 110% right till the last show of the tour.
Did you have a photo pass for the show? I had a seat in the second row and an elderly usher lady made me put the camera away after the 3 song norm, even while seated. I've shot at about 4 shows and that was a first (not being able to shoot from my seat). I'm wondering if that was just an issue with the venue, or if was ruled by the tour management. Major disappointment.

Hey JD, I did have a photo pass.  It was for songs 4-6 and then had to put it up because it had a detachable lens, that is the tour rule me thinks.  If it was a point and click I could have used it for the whole show, should have anyways.  Great show indeed and great crowd...

Every other venue wanted us to return to our seats after the three songs, but that was the first time they wouldn't let me shoot from my seat. Has that been consistent with other shows for you? I shot from my seat in Columbia, Savannah, and Yakima, Wa last year with no problems. Always within the first 4 rows. I thought, oh well, I'll just enjoy the show without watching it through a viewfinder, but couldn't help feeling frustrated at all the great shots I missed smile it was a fantastic show, though.
