anyone going to this one later this year? i got in -what i thought was early-only to find i'm on row gg near the back! now i know there's notREALLY a bad seat at this legendary venue,but i thought i was in with a shout at D or H to be honest! just goes to show the power of joe's popularity this year/last two. but if anyone has a trade-off..... 
...ello...anyone oiut there? gotta be joe fans ...down for this gig...?.....
Geoff and I will be there, Manchester on the friday; Newcastle Sunday and Glasgow Monday. Seen 'the man' 24 times in the U.K. now and he is truly amazing live if you have not seen him live before. You have to get tickets as soon as they are available to get anywhere near the front at a ticket venue and if it is standing be prepared to get in the queue a good two hours before doors open to stand a chance of being near the front.
Got Alter Bridge on the saturday night with The Mrs and Jr, so on me own sunday. Be a great 3rd gig for me,the city hall being where i saw all my early gigs through school years-now 48!-so been sat most areas inside-all seating,tho,-not conducive to boogie-ing! 
I'll be the shaven-headed (re-balding!)one wearing the blue baseball tee off the website with joe's autograph on the front ,hope to get a few beers in The Bodega up the road pre-gig,see anyone there!
I would be interested. but I can't find the market place.

If they don't go soon they will have to go on Ebay
Still going to Bridlington (Row A :-) ) and Manchester.

Thanks Bill!!

Getting my streets mixed up earlier regarding bars to have pre-gig pint in.The Bodega is on the other side of town ,i think,up the road from The Academy NOT City Hall! 
Any Geordies out there recommend a good bar close to the gig? May get food in Frankie & Benny's close by,but if not,a good pub to soak up (beer!) the atmos pre-gig'd be good! 
Hello Idolbone.
Are you also a Wishbone Ash fan by any chance??
If you are who I think you are...."hello"

Well that's me for tonight,if anyone sees a 40-something guy in a 77 baseball tee at newcastle-or in the bar anywhere in town,say hello,it might be me! Will wait at stage door and try and catch joe and the band for a craic,but could be with a brass monkey -looking-for-a-welder* by then!

Hi Idolbone.
Hope you enjoyed Joe in Newcastle and I'm sure you will enjoy WA on 22nd. In the 4 weeks to 6th November I will have been lucky enough to see Joe twice, WA 7 times and Walter Trout twice!! I've just had 5 gigs this week so I'm totally skint...as one involved a 350 mile round trip (i.e. a tank of petrol!!). Good job it is payday on Wednesday.
As you say...they are a friendly crowd on here.
Have fun,
Linda.
Hey guys - when Joe was chatting to fans after the show at Manchester, he mentioned that they might have something a bit special lined up for Newcastle - "we got something brewing" he said - and I don't think he was talking Newcastle Brown!
Can't wait for your reviews on this gig to see what it was....................

I'd guess a duet with Sandi since she mentioned she's there with Joe today.
...if i remember rightly Joe and Sandy done The Great Flood together @ the Gibso studios!?...maybe?!
Well folks the surprise was......... Paul Cossoff's Gibson was brought along for Joe to have a look at. He was like a kid with a rare new toy. The sound from it was loud and perfect, despite having had a neck repair. Apparently this is the guitar that Paul fell on top of on stage and wrecked. It was rebuilt by a Gibson luthier I think. Heavy guage strings. Anyway Joe plugged it in and had a go! He then used it on the gig and played "Mr Big" in honour of the occasion! Some pics might eventually get onto the website - I hope.

Well, that must have been awesome - you lucky Newcastle-goers!!
Here it is! Mr. Big, on the Kossoff!
