So,things worked out differently for me for Edinburgh,so it's Manchester for me,Mrs Idolbone and Jr,hoping to be outside venue for the afternoon to catch Joe going in for soundcheck,(just me,tho'-them two not so keen when the whole of Manchester's shopping opportunities are available!).Got Block 105 if anyone nearby....;)
HI Idolbone, would have met you there but am now due to have an operation 2 days before in Keighley and as a result can't now go, which is an absolute bummer to be sure. Just have to get my fix with the box set in October. On a different note, when are they going to start winning, Saudi prince and all ?????

Hi Idlebone,
I'm making a last dash to get a single ticket for Manchester and am looking at Block 107. Thing is as I'm driving over from Yorkshire it would be useful to know what time the Guitarmeister is due on stage. Any idea?

On the dot 8pm usually, but check the site. He is always perfectly on time. Enjoy, wish I could 
Thanks, Pete. Got my ticket last night! It's only a 45 minute drive and I'm going to park in the Arena Car Park (sod the expense) so I reckon if I leave about 6.45pm I should be ok.

Shame about not being there,but,as i recently found out,if you need an operation-you gotta get it! Hope all turns out well....regarding the other matter-them playoffs (which we so DEARLY love!) seem a long ways off!!! Seems a quid was looking too much.... And that's the second time Carlisle have beat us ,isn't it? (rolls eyes)
The time is nearly here-leaving for Manchester friday night so's to get to venue nice and early sat a.m./lunchtime,hope to catch joe going in for soundcheck to get some stuff signed,maybe show him his signature tattoo on my arm,got it done last time out in Blackpool! 
Anyone sees a lonely figure wandering round outside the arena,looking for a guitar hero,say hi,probably me!
Feeling second hand but OK. Hope it's a great show and with luck there may be a vid or two. On the other topic, com on you blades for god sake!!!
Getting a real buzz now. Might even get out the old Les Paul copy and fumble my way through something or other. If you see someone sat in the empty space in Block 107, that's me!

Tonight's the night pal !!!
To everyone who's going to Manchester tonight, enjoy! You're in for a treat and wish I was there with you ...
I really don't want to upset anyone here, but is it just me or was that a bit of a mess tonight. (Manchester)
Joe's guitars were often lost in the mix and it reminded me of a Gary Moore gig I saw years ago when the sound just seemed to bounce around the venue and it was all a bit of a muddle.
On the songs with keyboards, the organ sound just took over and for the first time at a JB concert, I was seeing polite applause
No offence either to the guest guitarist - Ellie - but she wasn't really given any sort of platform to show if was any good or not. Not really sure why she was there.
So for me - not a great night. I would be interested to hear from anyone else there tonight.
Great show, quite different to Cardiff, the audience were more lively on a Saturday night in Manchester than midweek Cardiff. Accoustics weren't as good but still OK from where we were - front row in line with the bongos, absolutely the best seats we could ever hope to get. I even caught a plectrum at the end!
Derek had swapped his wooly hat for a blue and white bandana and was actually recognisable. He seems to be relishing his new role. As for Tal and Carmine, brilliant as always.
Joe gave his all and, for my money, delivered 100%.
It was one of those gigs that leave you wanting more, and Dust Bowl on the CD player helped with the two and a half hour drive home. I couldn't help thinking that The Last Matador, Heartbreaker, No Love on the Street and Prisoner would all be very wonderful live!
Brighton next Saturday? I have one ticket and am very tempted..........

Prisoner live would be an absolute dream......
Hello guys,
Well what can i say....the man is brilliant. That was the second time I've been to a Bonamassa gig(after Blackpool last April) and for me it didn't disappoint. Looking forward to next time already.
Here's a little video i recorded on my phone(not too bad for a phone)
