Hello hello

Welcome to this fine forum Ginger. You're right, this is a nice place to hang out with a lot of really good folk. I can't believe the way some people carry on on the You Tube site, so rude and obnoxious at times.
Was it on the Paul Jones show that you first heard Joe and what song was it?

Have fun..Tripsy

Where I come from the people who take the piss out of the gingers are only jealous. I'm glad to see that we get the same abuse in other european countries. 

I'm sure you'll have seen this before but it still makes me laugh clicky. Sums youtube comments up for me.

It wasn't Paul Jones' show that introduced me to him. I first heard him about a year before that. I did hear that show and have since managed to acquire it to listen again. The one thing the BBC is still first rate at is the quality of their recording on such events. Their recording of David Gilmour when he released his On An Island record was also excellent. I've always favoured live recordings over studio work because it gives a much better feel of how an artist works. The pros always do the business when they're on stage, and being able to recreate that at home is a real treat. The pretenders are the ones that play their album over the PA and mime. I like Joe's playing because each night is different and he is quite happy to just talk to the audience. I for one will certainly be going to see him next time he's in the UK.

Welcome GingerPaul!! My first live shot of Joe was at Crewe also, and I've been in here ever since. U from round these parts son??

Not a forum kind of guy either, but it's a great place to be, and a veritable plethora of information about Joe, and others also.

Enjoy!!

I've got family in both Stoke and Crewe so I know the area quite well. I ended up going with a mate from Whitchurch who is also a guitarist. We're always sending artists backwards and forwards over email and Joe was one of those. The lucky bugger got the last plectrum that Joe pinged off the stage. He had a go with it after I left and was raving about it so I had to find out what it was. Of course it was a Jazz III and now I've got my own little pile of them to play. Fantastic, although I've discovered that playing QOTSA wears them out quite fast!

I didn't really sign up here specifically because of Joe. It just happens that a lot of his fans seem to have similar tastes in music and gear to me. Joe's tone is excellent of course, and his R9s are beautiful. Not sure I fully understand the 4 amps mind you!
