Topic: Wet jacket
I saw JB in concert last night in Savannah. (I saw him for the first time in Jacksonvile last year.) By the third song I noticed that the shoulders and back of his jacket were completely wet. Does he sweat that much on stage?

I don't know if he does,but I sweat just watching him
I've seen him dripping after a show. Joe works his tail off for us up there on stage!

Yes, but his jacket was soaked from shoulders to waist by the third song. He is either sweating a tremendous amount or perhaps he wet his jacket to keep him cooler.
Uh oh Don't let this get out....
Are you sure he was wearing a jacket ?, it could have been a sweater

Yes, a jacket like he usually wears. I was sitting in the eighth row, center.
Welcome to the forum jmac. My guess is yes, he does work that hard and thus sweats accordingly. I think the first thing he does after a show is change his shirt as well as rehydrate before he meets fans. I've seen him play outside with high temps and humidity, when the audience was dropping like flies, and he didn't miss a step. Think of his shows as a sporting event and he's a prime athlete. Now, please, write a review. We appreciate any info. Thanks Cathy

bjj and Relayer..You crack me up!!! Cathy
He would really have to be sweating a lot to soak through the shirt and jacket that quickly, probably at least a cup. It wasn't just one spot - it was both shoulders down to the waist. In fact, it seemed like there were dry areas in his jacket between the wet shoulders and wet back.
If he sweats that much, why not leave off the jacket?
Many artists i've seen use fans on stage - it's a matter of choice.
I remember seeing AC/DC & Angus Young perform - oh boy does he sweat! His remedy to keep cool though, is to strip slowly throughout the show. ha ha
Now, not saying Joe should follow Angus - just sayin'
Just read my signature line (the one about Joe, not the one about me)

Hey jmac I think the sweater might have been a play on words(sweat)We sometimes get a little goofy here,don't mind a chuckle or laugh it's good for the soul.
...sweating is good for ya!...when Joe wears the Silver one he looks like a trout pulled out of the pond after about 5 or 6 songs ...get front row at a Sayce gig and you get rained on ...all perfectly normal and nothing to worry about!
Stage lights put off an incredible amount of heat. Strap an 8-9 pound guitar on and give it everything you've got for a couple of hours...presto!
^^^ ..err ...you mean sweato!?

Yea, but this was after 10 minutes.
jmac, sorry, but I don't think we're going to be able to answer your question in a satisfactory manner. The only other suggestion I have is to post your question on Brett's thread and maybe he'll have a reply. Cathy
