Incredible!!!
The venue was small(about 2000 seats)and it was sold out since two month.
The sound was great and clear.
Show started about 5 minutes to early so a few haven´t got their seats...
It was the first time JB did a "regular" show in Vienna! (1st show was BCC, 2nd the acoustic show)
It started with a short acoustic set (about 20 min.) Palm Trees..., Seagull, Jelly Roll, Athens and Woke up dreaming. The versions were different to the Opera-set. Only Joe, Derek and Tal. It had more jazz-apeal...
The electric-set started with a steamy, raw version of Dust Bowl. A great (2nd) opener!
After that, Story of a Quarryman and Who´s been talking. It was the red line of the evening. he played long, loud and heavy versions.
Unexpected the next song: Freddie King´s Someday after a While. Never heared him play this song before... Great blues-tune played with a softer sound.
Dislocated Boy was played with the doubleneck - can´t wait for this on the London Dvd´s!!!
Driving towards Daylight was very epic with a decent lightshow - you can imagine the sunset...
Slow Train was very heavy - like lava.
Midnight Blues - A highlight, what a song! R.I.P Gary Moore (If you don´t have the Sunflower-Dvd check it out!)
Look over yonders Wall - annother Freddie King Cover...
There were the half of BCC on the stage and yes, there was Song of Yesterday. I hope the BCC-backcatalogue will live further in Joe´s concerts - it´s worth!
The regular set ended with Mountain Time - very moving.
Standing ovations and a (very) short break - The encores:
Nobodys sitting down and Joe talking ´bout the next song.
It´s 4000th time he play´s this song and he´s tired of playing it, but everyone yells for it and so here came Sloe Gin.:):):)
I know so many versions of this song, but to hear it first time live (and electric) was something special!
The final fight was Joe Henry in a killer-version and after 140 minutes it had to have an end...unfortunately...
I think he enjoyed it too - nearly two and a half hour...
