Topic: GOTHAM CITY to TAVISTOCK

7:17 PM .... August 2nd 2007 .... Tavistock   England

The moon partially hidden by the white edge night clouds , hangs mysteriously over the dark dimly lit town of Tavistock
As Me and Robin swoop down through the howling windy night sky ... We see the faint orange street lamps below . . . . Our Destiny Awaits
We land silently upon the cobbled streets . . No One About , No One , all the houses are quiet
it's deathly dark , it's eerily still ........... We edge along walls , peering around corners , creeping through the streets , dark silent no one about . . . . Then
Batman .... Ssssshhh  Quiet  Wait ! ,  Wonderboy what's that i hear
Robin    .... I think it's coming from over there ---> pointing to an old red bricked establishment
                 a faint sound of laughter and music .... They both raise their capes and Quick Dash
                 to the wall surrounding the front of "The Wharf" ,   They peep over and see dark   
                 shadows passing light filled windows
Batman turns to Robin while they crouch behind the low wall ,  " Right Robin listen our mission to find the one they call Smokin' Joe and his Gang who are said to be capturing the souls of music lovin' folk all over the world
Robin .... O K  Batman . . Let's Rock
We dareingly enter the building not knowing what we might encounter
(There is a Fine Line Between Comic Book and Reality Here !)
The caped crusader and wonderboy burst through the double doors and announce their entrance
Batman .... "Hold it Right There" . . . . the audience turn around and all start to laugh
Batman .... "Look Robin it seems they are all under some kind of spell
Robin    .... "Yes Dark Knight .. We've bargained more than before we came and got .... uhhh !
  They push and squeeze their way thru the dancing , screaming , smiling hordes of bodies til they
   reach the stage ........... Something of an Epic Battle Ensues . . And Reads Like THIS

Re: GOTHAM CITY to TAVISTOCK

Hmmm...I'm envisioning a comic book or a movie based on this.  Great interpretation!

Mary

LOL-ler-tastic.

Re: GOTHAM CITY to TAVISTOCK

Michael - I'm speechless......

I posted a short review and a couple of pictures myself on the Strangers In The Night website at:

http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/s- … sage/16360

-------------------------------------------------------

Just got back from seeing Joe Bonamassa and his band perform at The Wharf, Tavistock for 90 minutes.

A capacity sell out crowd of about 400 with ages from under 8 to pensioners, rocked away as a true master of his art performed beautiful sensitive, technically perfect and expressive rock and blues guitar - using Les paul, Telecaster and Stratocaster, plus incredible - and I do mean incredible - acoustic. 

Set list was extensively from his You and Me album and some from the soon to be relaesed Sloe Gin.

I had a stinking cold, the venue is tiny and got super hot, but for me this is what rock guitar based entertainment should be like.

For once I was not at the front and I didnt use by big professional equipment - but I still got a few decent snaps with my new toy.

Bass, drums and keyboards were excellent support too.

Check out his web site and in particular his amazing biography details:

At ten, Joe began performing at local venues and at twelve, he was asked to open for B. B. King. The blues legend, after hearing Joe play for the first time, declared, "This kid's potential is unbelievable. He hasn't even begun to scratch the surface. He's one of a kind."

http://www.jbonamassa.com/joe_bonamassa … mation.htm

If you get the chance to see him - take it, you won't regret it. Tour dates for UK are as follows:

8/3/07 BOURNEMOUTH, UK  MR. KYPS tba
8/4/07 BEDFORD, UK RHYTHYM FEST WITH DR JOHN  tba
8/5/07 HOLMFIRTH, UK  PICTURE DROME  tba

Re: GOTHAM CITY to TAVISTOCK

Holy Bat stories Michael!!  WOW, you continue to amaze me with your spellbinding reviews.  How do you come up with them, huh?  Have a question for you.  Where was Catwoman?  Honestly, this might be your finest review yet.  Absolutely loved it.  I am sure Joe's show was a rockin' blast and I am positive you met and chatted it up with many Bonamassa fans.  Please keep bringing us your AWESOME reviews and definitely keep on rockin'..........  Take care and travel safely.

Re: GOTHAM CITY to TAVISTOCK

OMFG! That was the most whacked out review I've ever read. And I laughed my *ss off. Michael, you've done it again.

I'm just saying.

Re: GOTHAM CITY to TAVISTOCK

Hey Michael,

What planet did you say you were from? lol

That is the most whacked out review I think I've ever read. What an imagination you have.  I have to agree with some of the other remarks.  I want some of whatever you're taking.  lol   Seriously tho, very funny review.  I hope Ken and I get a chance to hook up with you at one of Joe's shows.  It would be an honor to buy you a beer my bona-friend.

Re: GOTHAM CITY to TAVISTOCK

Michael, when you said you were going to come up to Holmfirth and that we should go as Batman and Robin, I thought you were off your head! Ok so you chose to give the north a miss this time, jeez, thank God you did, you were serious after all. Or maybe serious is not the word. Wish I'd been at Goth sorry Tavistock with you my friend, but I'm just overdosing on the Shepherds Bush gig in readiness for tomorrow night, Joe's last gig in the UK.

Speak on the bone later next week friend. Hope Annelise enjoyed her trip!
