Re: Sydney, Australia - October 5th 2012

Became a fan just after Joe played Sydney last year and was kicking myself for missing out. This time, front row, Sydney State Theatre, and man o man, it was a long wait but so very worth it. Fantastic show Joe, my thanks to you and the guys. Won't be missing any more shows even if it is a few years till you're back. Ps: My 3 year old daughter was well chuffed that I had a real picture of "Joe Mobmassa" on my phone.

Re: Sydney, Australia - October 5th 2012

Write up from the latest BluesWax regarding this show:
Three visits in three years to ever-increasing numbers and bigger venues just goes to show that Joe Bonamassa is as popular in Australia as anywhere in the world. Touring this time to promote his latest album, Driving Towards The Daylight, the young man dubbed the “ blues rock titan” showed no signs of slowing down; indeed he seemed more energised than ever following on from this latest album’s return to a more blues-based theme.

Opening with a four-song acoustic set, accompanied by drummer Tal Bergman on congas, Bonamassa tipped his hat to his influences by performing the Bad Company classic “ Seagull,” as well as a couple of songs from the new album, before launching into the electric set with “ Slow train Coming”and moving through a set interspersed with songs from his whole catalog, including favourites “ Just Got Paid” and “ Mountain Time,” well supported by his great touring band who just keep getting better, particularly drummer Tal Bergman who was having a particularly good night.

At age 35 and with ten albums and four live DVDs to his name, Joe Bonamassa shows no signs of slowing down, his studio productivity that of an artist much older. One critic has said that “they call him the future of the blues , but they’re wrong – Joe Bonamassa is the present, so fresh and of his time that he almost defines it.” On this night in Sydney, that prediction came true.       Cathy
