Topic: Brisbane Australia May 21st -Joe's Rig

Saw Joe play at the Tivoli in Brisbane, (May 21st), and it was a blinder!  The atmosphere in there was electric and Joe put on a great show.  His sound was perfect, as mentioned in a previous post, warm and smooth with lovely 'fine' distortion giving sustain to every note he played- with powerful clarity.
Playing through a rig that wasnt his usual set-up.  A mix of 4 Marshall 100 watt heads; JCM 2000 DSL's (x2), a JCM 800 and a TSL 100 head -through 2 4x12 Marshall cabs.  What a sound... awesome!
As a huge fan, i was pleased to see his rig combination,  as i own a JCM 2000 TSL 100 myself and love it!  My '73 Les Paul Custom sounds fantastic through it, as it does through my JVM 205 head -which again, Joe used when he played Bluesfest here in Byron Bay in 2010.  (JVM 410's, same but 100 watts as opposed to 50watt.)  Big fan, great musician, but as said in a previous post, i wouldnt want ANYONES name on the truss plate -other than Les Pauls- which is what it is!
(PS. I copied this from what i posted on the Gibson forum, hence the reference to Joe's name on the truss plate of the new Joe Bonamassa Les Paul studio- for your info')

Blinder - that must be an down under term for "kick a$$" or something or other.

Great word btw; I'm using it.

Not just Oz.  'Blinder' is common here too.

Funny but I read fastfret's post with an internal voice as if he was from just down the road until I noticed he is a hemisphere away. smile

EDIT: I guess the title should have given it away roll Sorry, but my brain is addled by a stinking head-cold today sad

What The Fuzz ?!

I'm a big fan of various British tv/movies, etc., but I don't ever remember hearing "blinder" before.

Perhaps it's just not part of the Red Dwarf vocab.

LOL.
Smeg, no you won't find it in Red Dwarf for some reason.

It's just a general every day term, like, "The goalie played a blinder today"  etc.
