DIDN'T KNOW A THING ABOUT JB OTHER THAN WHAT I READ IN THE GUITAR MAGS AND HEARD FROM FRIENDS.my singer scored some tix,and the rest is history.i asked my guitar teacher if he was familiar with JB.LOOKING BACK ,I GUESS THE WAS A DUMB QUESTION,huh?anyway he told about the DVD's.so i will have to add those to my "to do" list.i'm glad i found my way here too.hope to chat with many of you AND see some of you at the next shows.

Hey John, I grew up on Long Island too. Welcome to the forum and to Joe's incredible rockin' blues. So glad you got to see a live show of Joe's. It is a mesmerizing experience. Now you might have travel every once in a while just to get a "Joe" fix like the rest of us. Happy to see people from Long Island posting. We all are a fun and really nice bunch of people here who are truly passionate about Joe and his AWESOME blues music. And yes you are so right, Joe ROCKS big time!!!!! So, post away.......

i guess i have to put a rush on those DVD's.listening to the two CD's i just got is great,but it's just not the same as seeing him action.of coarse live in person is the ultimate.seeing the emotion in his playing and his vocals.
jpm, in the mean time, search this forum for Michael Lynch posts re:you tube. Lot's of great Joe footage, Bogie super solo, etc. And, get "You and Me"..Lot's of goodies on that one...(This forum should come with a warning re time and money)....Cathy
thanks cathy
As good as Joe is, I'll never be able to put Stevie down. To me he will always be the greatest. I can't help it. Joe can be number two though, ain't nothing wrong with that. lol

Yeah SRV was very special. I really like Craig Hopkins book "The Essential" all about Stevie.
That performance by SRV of Voodoo Child on Austin City Limits gives me the chills. It is so awe-inspiring. When he starts doing that windmill thing, that just sends me into orbit. SRV is my second favorite guitarist though - tied with Joe. My favorite will always be Hendrix.
I'm liking the honesty in the last few posts here , i totally admire you're belief in your own music choices , Brilliant
We all have Different Tastes here , Great ........ I gotta agree with Bluesman "Texas Flood" live at El Mocambo
One of the True Great live performances ever ... It Really is jaw droppingly mindblowing ..... Stevie is a LEGEND
And jimi too , we all here absolutely love those guys ......My Favorite Jimi is "Machine gun" or "Hear my Train a coming"
Fave SRV....... "The Sky is Crying" OMG and "Little Wing" Spine-Tingling Stuff

Andy,
If you don't have it already, get the Stevie Ray Vaughn DVD "Live at El Macambo". If SRV's version of Voodoo Child sent chills down your spine watch the song "Texas Flood" it is scary good!! As a matter of fact, as I'm typing this I'm watching it from YouTube and Stevie just switched to playing behind his back......unbelieveable!!

P.S. I guess when I get home from work I've got to pull it back out again!
Thanks, Roy. I had a chance to see SRV once but I couldn't make it so I said, I'll see him someday. Didn't happen. I'm still kicking myself. Thank god for video.
hello joe beacon,fellow long islander.what's up?
