Seems most have migrated over to XP and there is no place there for show reviews.
Not sure exactly what you meant but beyond the personal messages you have mentioned previously, i haven't noticed alot of discussion over there amongnst Europeans or any other nationality for that matter, that they migrated from here to there. Of course i don't have tons of extra time to read everything posted there but i do think i have gotten a more than representative sample of the 'public' sentiment so to speak.
Fact is the email database got the email about JBXP and those who frequent Joe's facebook page get regular spam about it. Its not as if there was an email blast promoting the forum. so other than your comments i had not realized that most have gone from here to there.
Please, if there are really that many saying they left the forum in favor of JBXP and that this place was so unfavorable its not worth coming to share their show expereince, point it out so that we may attempt to sweetly persuade them to share with us here. or simply cut and paste their review -or ask if its ok with them, being that JBXP you have to be logged in to read perhpas maybe there is a chance someone feels it more private to post there
otherwise hopefully some of the fans who caught the recent shows will eventually put their review here as in times past
Cathy if I find time I'll scroll down around the obstacles there and see if there were many reviews to cross reference
Just an observation and lament Jane and Cathy, not saying they left here, just they don't post here. Most are not aware of this site to my observation,or don't like this type of site maybe. I try to steer them over here when I can. I'm sure we can all encourage dual site usage since xp is not what this is by any stretch,it is so fb'ish with folks upping a zillion songs and photos constantly which mask the bit of meat there. There is an event for each gig where reports could and should be made to make it easier to find them, but you have to join each to be able to read or post anything there, not exactly user friendly. The Bergen Banner team upped photos but other than being blown away by the show, no actual report. Most of the Banner chat is by related post strings or pm's and if you aren't in the loop, you'd never see them. My vid link above came from xp. I have some ideas to make it better, I'll pass them along. Whether by language barrier or something else, not much is coming out of the present swing through Europe. There was a note of the Bergen newspaper review giving Joe a 6/7. Look how few are posting about the Southern European gigs from here. Many of the past travelers and posters constrained by the economy?
