big_smile I saw Joe for the first time at the Glasgow gig. This man seems to have taken every beautiful noise made on a guitar and made it his own. If you are a guitarist and you make one good sound and commit it to tape, Joe will find it out, you cant hide from Joe. A musical magpie of a man. He comes on stage in a suit with his tie missing, like he just got home from work and was going to be late for the gig so just went anyway. I know NOTHING about him really and am glad I have encountered his music. Very uplifting and inspiring. God Bless Joe Bonamassa. See you in Edinburgh Joe!  xxx

I too had the honour of seeing Joe live on Monday night.......went with my Dad who has over the years seen some house hold names....but even he was amazed at just how good Joe is.

You could use many words to describe how good Joe is.......but I'd say to anyone, just go buy his CD's......and if you get a chance to see him live......take it, you would need to be deaf to not appreciate his work.

Very emotional, his playing draws you in and just makes you feel great.

Here is the review that was in today's Sunday Mail here in Scotland:

"His name won't strike a chord with most, but New York guitarist Joe Bonamassa's cult following ensured a packed venue. Bonamassa's heroes are Jimmy Paige, Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix...but some of his solos bordered on parody. Yet his skill is incomparable and his voice was rich and bluesy, particularly without a mic for the closing Asking Around For You.

3 Stars

John Kelly

The part I have highlighted I believe is complete and utter rubbish, I mean what concert was he watching cos it definately dosen't sound like the same one that gave me goose bumps from beginning to end.

Hi idolbone,

There is a Premier Inn about 10-15mins walk away from the venue.

The address is Premier Inn, 82 Lauriston Place, EH3 9DG

Hope this helps

Do you think the reviewer has ever even listened to Joe before??

Probs not.

I dont really mind if people didnt like the concert  but coming out with stupid comments like "Bonamassa's heroes are Jimmy Paige, Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix...but some of his solos bordered on parody" Now that annoys me! mad
