Topic: Joe Acoustic Shows / Joe Beth Hart Shows ..... in USA
i would love to see Joe take his Acoustic show on the road throughout The USA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKE3itL4ApY
it would be wonderful to see him play some of the great theatres from New York Chicago Washington St Louis Oklahoma Charleston Miami Austin Las Vegas Seattle to Los Angeles weaving his way thru and across The USA playing some of those amazing Acoustic renditions of his songs which i must say have more than an early American history roots feel to them than our European Acoustic type of music .... i say this cos if you did marvel at the Vienna Live DVD, it is a Masterpiece live experience which needs to been seen by his own country far and wide and of course many of those songs were wrote and penned in The US and are also about stories from The US

with Blues, Country and Folk and many a Jamboree Stomp they could all lighten up those grand theatres, even add some new Acoustic tunes Waiting For Me, The Last Matador of Bayonne,
When The Sun Goes Down and so many more
yes we here in The UK and Europe have had Joe's finest recent concerts and have been gratefully spoiled
hope he does find the time to take the wonderful set he had last year with Gerry Arlan Mats & Lenny on the road in America, they gelled and created something special and very unique that needs to be seen by more than just 7 shows in Europe
and i hope those concerts were not the only time this crazy good ensemble gets together, it does not deserve to be left untapped once again since Vienna

Now Joe and Beth live onstage together as Kevin Shirley rightly said are the best live band (i agree) on the planet, they are electric, her voice is just stellar and has no limits and with Joe they just create something extraordinary like a 1950's soul band with 2020 power and yet again an amazing line up to back em up and throw in an absolute varied style of fun and emotive songs
America needs this show travelling and revitalising the soul rhythm n blues through the states

In honor of Etta Aretha Billie Holiday and all the soul classics Joe and Beth have covered, its a must see, it is the core of American music thru the 50's 60's and 70's given a new fresh Blues feel with soul and Beth is just an awesome persona onstage, she needs to been seen doing this live with Joe in those old theatres, it just seems so natural, USA would lap it up, they deserve this collaboration to be huge its too talented and will get better and create more and more classic tunes revamped and written.

i hope Joe Roy Kevin dont let these masterful shows they created just be memories in Europe and not be seen by the starved masses in America of this fine and their own brand of music brought to life in this fashion by both these 2 amazing artists, theres so much more to come live onstage
it is a dream duo performing wildly and emotionally, that deserves to be seen live by their natives
