Bona-Trivia (Page 6 of 18)

This will be a slam dunk for people that were there but I'm going to ask it anyway, because I don't think it's common knowledge for most AND I think it's interesting:

As far as I know, there has only been one time where Joe has played the same song twice at a single show. Name the song and the venue.

I would like to know why he played it twice, maybe Joe could chime in and give us the inside scoop? Anybody know?

Not sure if my mind is made up, or my mind is making it up, but I believe Joe played "Miss You, Hate You" twice in one show at The Armory, Syracuse, New York, December 2000.        =o|-[ might recall or might not, but I am pretty sure he played the entire  "A New Day Yesterday" CD exactly as it was on the CD with 2 versions, one short and sweet, one longer, extended jamming one.  IF this is true, he may well have played it twice at other shows in that early era...

Oh man Rocket... Could have happened, but I don't recall.  However, I do remember at one of those early Syracuse shows where someone requested "Miss You, Hate You" and Joe did play it.  I recall thinking at the time that it didn't look like it was a song in their usual playlist, but Joe played it anyways... but I could definitely be wrong there as well. 

The only Joe show I went to where he "almost" replayed something was at a private rehearsal concert for Bloodline, at Ultramedia Studios in Syracuse, NY on 01/16/94, that I won 2 passes for (see my avatar) from the local radio station; so I went with my brother.  They jammed for the tiny group of us from 2 feet away.  They had just started the wicked guitar solo section of "Since You're Gone" (starting at 4:54 on the CD) & Joe's string broke.  After fixing things he asked us if they should start again at the beginning or pick it up where the string broke.  I yelled out to pick it up where they ended, & so they did.  Great jam from 2 feet away!  Awesome show, then was given some signed swag.  Pretty cool thing to win!!!

It came to me finally, that Joe DEFinitely played "Miss You, Hate You" twice at that Syracuse show.  I recalled that he played the entire CD IN ORDER, and the reprise was the longer version, as an encore and show closer.

Man, hard to believe that was 14.3x years ago.......I remember having a hard time believing someone playing a bar KNEW a Rory Gallagher song, let alone open their show with a rip-roaring version!  Afterwards I also remember feeling stunned trying to believe I had just witnessed history in the making.  Almost got lost going back to the North Country!
