PBS airing "Live at the Beacon" (Page 4 of 5)

Joe looked really great, also on his interview with the host.....if yall are looking for ALOT of songs, only a handfull, I was hoping to hear much more, but great exposure for JB

I don't normally stay up so late on a school night, but from 9:00-10:30 PM I'll be glued to the tube (and listening through my best headphones)!   

The PBS show was just a sampler, of course, but what a sampler!  Got to see “Slow Train,” “When the Fire Hits the Sea,” “Midnight Blues,” “The River,” “Blue and Evil” (oh HELL yeah!), “Django” (with a nice little hint of “India” in the intro), and “Mountain Time,” plus duets with the inimitable John Hiatt (“Down Around My Place”) and Paul Rodgers (“Fire and Water”).

Speaking on behalf of all of us who pre-ordered the DVD weeks ago:  Yo, J&R...faster, please! 

I (tried) to watch it last night...

I use DirecTV - and get the local WILL/PBS station from Central Illinois - but somewhere in the signal chain for that channel (and *only* that channel) was a lot of noise, so the signal would drop out - picture would freeze and get pixelated, audio would drop out - and that happened through the entire show...  I even had it recording to my DVR, and it recorded exactly as I was seeing it...

Completely unwatchable and I'll have to try/hope it comes around again... *sigh*

Oh yeah - there was no JoBo interviews mixed in either - was just the local people doing the fund drive pitch.

And that's the news from Lake Woebegone!

That's interesting Sis.....we had that same cat selling his brain books before ours also (we dont need no stinking brain books) , but still had the pledge master talking to JB in between 3 or 4 different songs on the 1:30 show

Although 3/09 is in the written program guide, I just got a return call from MPT stating it will be aired on MPT2 on the 24th! They said an hour and a half, so I hope that means interviews included          Cathy

Watched on Louisiana PBS last night.  It was about an hour of music interspersed with Joe interviews in the studio for another 30 minutes.  It was such a contrast seeing Joe the badass playing and singing on stage and Joe the any mother's son or boy next door on the interviews.  He comes across so well in the interviews, very articulate, gracious and down to earth. 

I watched the PBS break-ins between the concert songs (didn't want to watch the concert until I get the Blu-Ray) - noticed them offering the same deal as last year - $250 pledge gets 2 free tickets. This was where I noted that Joe's returning to Dallas 10/30/12 again, followed the next day with him back at "The Old Lady on Brady" (Brady Street Theater) in Tulsa - This One-Two punch was spectacular last year, very much worth the drive to see him 2 nights in a row. Only one thing I would warn you folks about. The Meet and Greet last year in Dallas included all the people that had bought tickets from the PBS concert - if they are offering the same Meet and Greet again, then I would caution you regarding using your lithograph tickets to meet and greet Joe during a concert that has the PBS crowd - there were so many PBS'ers there that there was nothing personal about the meet and greet like you would expect. I spoke with Alexandra Martucci about it later after the concert and she was very surprised to hear that the meet and greet was not a personal one-on-one affair as it had been for lithograph purchasers at other concerts. I'm not sure if this issue has been "fixed" or not, but I was fairly disappointed to be standing in a room of almost 100 for a not-so-personal meet and greet in Dallas last year.
