Southampton Guildhall show (Page 1 of 3)

Likewise, I thought this was far and away the best of the five shows I've been to.  I loved the RAH show and it was a great occasion for Joe, but Southampton was a great performance FROM Joe.  He looked like he was thoroughly enjoying himself on stage.

I got the first three songs in the photo pit and, although I'm at work and haven't had chance to download the pics yet,  the lighting was such that I think they'll have come out pretty well.  I'll post them here as soon as I can.

The support was, I think, Sandi Thom.  Unfortunately, we spent so long driving round in ever increasing circles looking for somewhere to park that we missed her/them.

My fourth JB gig including RAH

Joe if you read this all I can is WOW this show put the RAH to shame thank the guys for the excellent sound and lighting. And we are looking forward to the Bournemouth gig already. How about the Anvil at basingstoke the acoustics are superb??

Sandi was absolutely stunning and a superb support. I am sure I saw Marcus Bonfantti there (another support from last year).

Iam fairly new to JB (the last year and a bit) but ill always get tickets for the shows.

We were 15 feet from the front and absolutely loved it. we could've got closer but hey we were happy

Loved Sloe gin, happier times (a pertinent song for me) bridge to better days. But to be honest loved everything which was played and a two hour set to boot.

Joe deserves every credit and needs to get recognised outside planet rock. the BBc know he exists but there not interested for radio WHY oh why do we have to put up with the manufactured pop when talent like Joes goes unnoticed. We all know Joe worked hard to get where he is.

Keep on rockin Joe

No Review Needed ....

Just The Facts .... This band time after time still blow me away, always exciting powerful and entertaining .... What a great show and indeed was as good if not better than Le Carre,
some guys were saying before the show that the sound of The Guidlhall Southampton was real washy and not good .... Well Warren just made it sound Awesome, an i smiled at those guy's afterwards , the sound was crisp and powerful
For me the stand out track now is The Great Flood .. pure beauty in music  really chills me
What a show and a great way to spend my birthday, thanks dudes for everything this year

....................... Michael

PS ..... Between now and Tel Aviv show there'll be 2 new song/thingy's in the set, so peeps take your phones/camere's and get that taped at one of the shows. we need to see proof 
can't say any more (i'm under oath) or they'll be a contract out on me by The Bonamaffia

Just wanted to add my thanks to Joe & the band for another terrific gig (only my third, but this time got some brill photos - when I wasn't totally mesmerised).  Thanks also to Michael, Lyn & Co who shared their enthusiasm and anecdotes of Joe with me; it was great chatting with you.  Hope to see you down at the front again in Bournemouth.

Glad you made it to the forum.

Me too. The energy can be felt here all the way out on the left coast. Rick

The Great Flood is up there with Sloe Gin for me now. TGF never made an immediate impact with me when I first heard it, but it's a real grower and seems to tweak my heartstrings a little tighter with each new listen. Real powerful stuff.

You got me goin' with this "song/thingy" Michael - should we expect an instrumental perhaps?
I guess the guys are bound to start dropping in a couple of Black Rock songs pre-release like they did with TBOJH.
Can't wait!

Just when you think it can't get any better ... Joe cranks it up to another level.   A great crowd, great atmosphere, sound quality just perfect (unlike some other gigs I've experienced at the Guildhall) and meeting up with Bonabuddies Michael, Sheri-Ann (sp?), David, Maggie, Lydia, Trisha, Jacquelyn, Doug ...... I've been buzzing for the past couple of days and only just come down to earth again    Nice to see some old Mr Kyps faces in the crowd too!

What I love about seeing this man, this band, is his ability to amaze me every time with something fresh, like the new beginning to "Sloe Gin" or the end solo on "If Heartaches" and little changes here and there in "Woke up Dreaming".   I look forward to being amazed again next May.  Bravo Joe.
