Awesome video Tripsy, thanks! The sound is great (the most important thing) 
This is one of my favorites from the new album too, so it's great that he's playing it live now.

Almost forgot...I love the new stage setup with Joe in the middle!

Opps - Sorry for stealing your thunder Tripsy. Didnt even look to see who posted the video before posting the link on the forum. Anyway, thanks for the great video.

No problem Doug 
Dean has put links to the two vids i have posted and Martin's Sloe Gin from Wolverhampton in the video section of the Streetteam website in the UK tour set list section.

Anybody have a video clip they can post of the fantastic version of High Water Everywhere from The Sage gig?
Still hoping for a new thread on Wolverhampton... Were you all blown away?
Still processing and uploading to YouTube.. But here's a HD teaser of what I've got.

Awesome
Echo pretty much everything that's been said here (about the Sage) - Sound started awful and it took a long while for the atmosphere to build - No criticism of the band just difficult to build atmosphere in an all seater auditorium like this. the band also went straight into four or five songs without any chat and there wasn't even a break to clap much
The version of High Water with just acoustic and drums was fantastic - a real highlight - I'm looking forward to this at RAH.
I think the excitement and anticipation will mean that there's much more atmosphere at RAH - can't wait!

Your footage is awesome! Can't wait for the rest! It almost seems a waste putting it on youtube as it loses the picture quality. If you were planning on hosting the rest on your site like those snippets it would be great!
The concert at the sage was awesome, it was my first time seeing Joe Bonamassa and I can safely say it won't be the last. Thanks to Pete59 who hooked me up with a ticket at last minute!
It appears I was not alone in being blown away by the High Water Treatment. Lets hope Joe does it this way again at RAH.
Instead of writing a review here, since Tripsy has done such a good job, I thought I'd just write my own thoughts on the gig.
This is not easy to say or type!! but having seen JB five times now, I must be honest and say that although the Sage is a great venue, it is, all said and done, an Arts Centre, and as such doesn't really lend itself to 'rock' style music. Irrespective of this.. I think Joe is a truly great guitarist but I'm just not sure that these sort of venues do him justice. He craves an element of audience participation which he was never really going to get here and proved by having to ask the question 'just how many people are out there tonight?'.
Let's be honest, a self styled blues guitarist is never going to command 'pop' status recognition so let's just enjoy him. It would be great to think that he might appeal to the masses, but it ain't gonna happen. I myself was singing and tapping along to many of the songs, but it is difficult to enjoy when you are sitting down.
Even so I still can't wait to see him again in Sheffield, but do us a favour Joe and ditch the white suit!, then again that's just my personal opinion, some people may say I'm just talking bollocks.

I agree. We need a mosh pit at these shows!! Ill be right in the middle of it!! Joe, Get rid of the reserved seating up front!!
Yes indeed the Sage is a superb venue and as BBJ said Joe and the guys didn't put a foot wrong.
He started the show with Django and then into The Ballad of John Henry then;

Asking Around For YouTripsy xxxx
I've been busy of late, so haven't been on the forum, but Holy Cow! Tripsy, Joe and the Guys played a 19 song set list? A little warm up for RAH? 
A very nice blend of old and new in there too. Can't wait!!
Very nice review my dear!

I've uploaded a few Videos to YouTube.

Remember to watch them in HD..
They loose a lot of quality of my 720p originals, but I don't have space anywhere to hold the larger files.
Enjoy...
Si

Nice videos! Did you take any footage of Sloe Gin? That was probably my favourite of the night, or Ballad of John Henry?
I have some hosting space online if you wanted me to host the files, depends how big they are. If they are similar size:length ratio to the teaser clips you posted before I can host them.

I have to agree. I hated the white suit!!!!! Its not about Joes fashion sense though. I'm sure the fashion police will catch up with him sometime. What a performance!:)
