Greenwich

Yeah.... agree with what Cathy said above ! Thankfully it didn't rain(just half an hour of sprinkles)!  A great night!

Agree with Kathy, brilliant night and new set list performed impeccably, as expected, from Joe and the band. Anyone know when dvd will be released? Thank you Joe for memorable night. Can't wait for next visit to London.

My take, and if you are looking for another kiss ar5e rose tinted opinion please skip reading this:

A lovely setting as has been said before, - Greenwich the home of the Meridian line, where East meets West and time is set. It is a an area of London the at first appears well off/rich, but dig a bit deeper and it is not, a lot of very poor families that live in the area. But this was not a show for the locals, it was for the checked shirt wearing silver haired man and his well tanned wife in their Rolls Royce parked by the gate. Blues these days seemingly has very little to do with its roots.... Greenwich was one of the largest ports in England bringing in slaves from Africa.

An interesting show, as Joe said himself, playing songs that the vast majority had never heard him play before is a bit different, - and it was a great concert to sit there and absorb, - although to add a little after-thought,  whilst understanding that it was a tribute to Jimmy Page when you play Led Zep songs there will always be something missing without Plant’s voice, whoever does it. - “How Many More Times” was excellent because of the interplay between Michael and Joe. The Clapton/Beck songs worked very well, “SWLABR” very enjoyable.

I was seated in the rear block, and I think because of that I felt slightly detached from the show, not a fault of Joe and the band at all, more to do with the venue and the fact that pricing structure in my opinion attracts people with a lot of money and perhaps not a lot of Joe or concert experience or etiquette. The entire evening there was a procession of people getting up, walking about, talking, getting a glass of champagne etc. However it changed, when as said above Joe beckoned for everybody to abandon their seats and come forward, once closer to stage I felt part of what was going on, - I think it was for the last 3 songs.

In spite of what may appear as negative I did enjoy the evening immensely, privileged to have been there.

Cathy, thankfully in this world two people can see the same show and have a different perspective, you have yours and I have mine, neither one is more valid than the other, although perhaps read mine again and you will see that I have not said that it was bad show, our opinions are close, I just experienced something different to you. My comments are about the location/venue,, - and of course you will have had a completely different experience when you have only one row of people in front of you to somebody who has 100 lines of people in front and one stands up and blocks 50 or so people from seeing as happened. Nice to have met you before the show albeit briefly.

Well this is one of the reasons why I am looking forward to Joe's concert in Basel next friday. It is an open-air with only standings :-) We won't see anybody late walking in and looking for a seat.

Red Rocks was great no one walking around in my area. We will see how it is next week
Cheers Ron

They weren't used by anyone. They were there for show to replicate Beck's amps.

- thought that I read it on here that somebody was not so happy at Red Rocks. Not good.
I guess it is invertible that as Joe has become a “name” he will attract the plebs, - first noticed at Hammersmith, just as Joe made it big and first played there with people calling out in quiet moments, - alcohol! The problem with seated gigs is that 1/3rd of the audience have prostate problems so need to go to the toilet every 15 minutes, others cannot go 15 minutes without a drink, leaving the rest of us who want to absorb the show!
