Yet another example of Joe putting his fans first.  Ya gotta love him.

Thanks for the kind words, Joseph Leonard! You'll see a group of your real friends at the M&G today and we'll be smiling at you from the front row, so both you and Tal will have somewhere to aim sticks and picks at ! wink 

All is good, the photographers have a job to do too....though all you need is Marco, since no one takes better shots than he does.

RIP Iron Man

Rock On and keep the Faith

Re: Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam, March 21,22 2013

Wow, George,   Glad you have front row tonight.  It will be stellar.  Glad that Joe is going to get those other photo guys out of the way for his real fans.   Thank you for staying up late last night and giving us so much joy.  You my friend are the man!  Cathy thanks for getting us the set list so fast. 

JOE, you are the best, that is why we keep coming back.

I know this Joe;)  You really are the working man's player and I think you feel it when you are distanced from your "peeps". Heavy responsibility is on your shoulders, again, pre-London. Fear not! Your "friends", and there are thousands, have NO doubt all will be wonderful. No signs the shows aren't stellar. Relax, take care of yourself and have fun!! Thanks again for allowing films. I think we'd go nuts without them wink xxxxx   Cathy

There's going to be a whole gang of us in London for most if not all of your shows (including that pesky meerkat).  It's a big week coming up but there will be lots of happy, familiar faces around - feel free to hang with us anytime.  As Cathy said thanks for letting us film and take pictures - it means the world to us to be able to share you with all your fans who can't be there.

See you in London!

Athens to Athens*

Slow Train
Dust Bowl*
Dislocated Boy
Driving Towards the Daylight*
Who's been talking

Re: Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam, March 21,22 2013

Thanks for posting the set list, George! (especially for those of us not on facebook) Jockey Full of Bourbon electric is certainly interesting to see. Can't wait to see the video of that one! Thanks so much for uploading videos for all of us to see.

Re: Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam, March 21,22 2013

I know what you mean, I loved filming the Rock Candy shows and being able to share them with everyone even though it took countless hours because our internet was so extremely slow. Plus it's so cool to be able to easily go back and relive the experience smile

Re: Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam, March 21,22 2013

Jockey for bedtime. I have another version of this to post tomorrow.

Re: Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam, March 21,22 2013

Thank you so much for this. I've been watching the Vienna DVD quite a bit lately and it's really neat to see the electric version of this song. Interesting to see Doug on back up vocals as well. I'm so glad you've been posting the rarer songs.

Re: Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam, March 21,22 2013

Sweet! West Coast advantage. First views of very late ups from Europe while the rest of Bonaland sleeps. smile
Thanks again George.
