Excellent! After sitting on pins and needles since hearing Joe was under the weather our "posse", some that were neebies, were a little nervous heading over from CT Saturday. We were looking forward to seeeing Joe of course but were hoping we did not have to carry his vocals. Boy were we impressed...
Mr Burning Face, as he called himself, did not disappoint. I can't imagine feeling lousy and still being able to go and perform at a 100%.
The theatre, an oldie but fairly well perserved venue, was intimate - guessing 1000-1200 and maybe a couple of empties but sold out. Time # six to see Joe and it keeps getting better and better. Young man Blues, being a huge Who fan, was a mind blower. The crowd sincerely appreciated that tune as they did the entire night.
After 35 yrs of seeing live shows we witnessed something never seen before by these eyes - during Woke up the power of Joe was revealed. The paint actually started falling from the ceiling! Coincidence? Maybe but I would like to believe otherwise.
Just Got Paid was the perfect encore - crowd on their feet and Joe runnng around like a crazy man.
Joe - we had a crowd of ten who will be back witha larger group next you are in the area.
Went back to the hotel lobby and commenced to watch Royal Albert long into the a.m.
THANKS for continued fond memories...
