Re: Beacon Theater 5/16/13
Too keyed up still, can't get back to sleep. Glad everyone is enjoying! Ron, we may have some takers for some of those Rock Candy tickets. The people we brought with us last night were of course shell shocked by Joe. After the show they exclaimed "We're not virgins anymore!" Bob, the older gentleman saw Miles Davis play at the Iridium in like the '60's and he was definitely enjoying Joe. He said "Tell your son you're not zealots, you are people who appreciate quality music." He will probably be the one who will go to see Rock Candy with us. The promo cards they were handing out at the Beacon were for the Rock Candy shows. Rocket, still hoping you can come. The internet seems a little faster this morning, so may try and upload So It's Like That, Who's Been Talking with Anton, or John Henry. My favorite version of John Henry is still the Vegas one, but last night, Arlan was just incredible on it. So glad our seats turned out to be good. We were up in the loge, next to the back row, and was worried before the show started that maybe the sound wouldn't be so good since there was a balcony over our heads, but once Joe started playing, the sound was just killer. And the rows are steep, so I could see right over the people in front of us ! Phil's recording sounds really good, also. Joe said that each show is going to be different so can't wait to see what's in store for tonight! This is definitely making up for not going to London. Thank you Joe for ending the tour with a bang!
I do not have the right words to thank you for putting up these videos. I have posted here or on facebook that I wished Joe and Warren would do If Heartaches Were Nickels. Just so unreal. Perfection. Thank you and Phil both for sharing this wonderful music with us. JOE BONAMASSA YOU ARE THE BEST.
