No goldtop, but lots of other nifty guitars - I especially like the blue jblp.
The whole evening was awesome, as usual. (Except Joe forgot to wear his purple sneakers!) I am amazed how even the older songs sound new because Joe is always changing things up. Heartaches were Nickles is breathtaking in its current form - the solo in the middle is other-wordly. Like the new stuff, too. Bird on a Wire is so beautiful, did some head-banging and thought of Jane and Rocket while doing so during Blue and Evil, and really liked Young Man's Blues live (had only heard on youtube and wasn't crazy about it).
Indoctrinated a new bonavirgin, I think his jaw is back in place today, got some pictures (see the photo section), and had an all around great night.
Joe was his usual gracious self after the show, I was amazed at the size of the crowd waiting for him, but he took time for everyone and said his usual "thanks for coming." That is so nice to see in this day and age. Joe signed a photo book for me (hope you like it), and Mr Meerkat enjoyed the show and got his Flying V signed.
Jeff - I never saw your brother (was looking for someone who looked like you), but did meet up with JBRules and his posse, also met a few others, including the guys from CarolAnn Amps - if you guys read this, check out the pics - that little blue light shows up very well!
Thanks you Joe, Bogie, Rick, Carmine, Warren, Dave, Colin and Aaron and the rest of the entourage - can't wait for the next round.

edit to add: have no fear that Joe is turning in to a Sox fan - he threw the shirt into the audience at the end of the show!
"There's a lot of people that are in so much of a hurry to be, I guess, to be famous or that they don't want to take the time to learn to play and do all that.They'd rather just knock it down off a computer and maybe get on a game show and get famous..That's fine if that's what you want to do.
