Joe .... Your ! Best Show Ever (Page 2 of 2)

Rocket, the DVD was released in 2006, indeed October if I remember well. yes, we knew Joe at that time and still do!

Hallo Bill,

As I said already on the old forum the night of the recording of the rockpalast DVD was one of the best musical nights of my entire life. I will tell again why because it was so good I think of that night eveytime I listen to Joe.

I saw on the Rockpalastsite that Joe was playing in Satzvey and that there was a recording for a TV show, it wasn't on the Joe website that time.
I ordered directly 2 tickets for me and my best friend Rudi, a cousin too who I know since I can remember , before 3 years of age my memory stops!!
We always go togethet to see our favourite band, we have the same taste: we saw many, many groups over the last 40 years. like Eagles, U2. Frank Zappa 8 times, the old Litlle Feat, ZZ Top, Santana, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, Deep Purple, JJ Cale, Jeff Beck, Lou Reed, Joe Satriani, Thin Lizzy, Pat Travers etc.etc.
Most of those bands we saw before they got succes and were wellknown even in the States. Saw the Eagles, Talking heads. U2 perform in very little venues for 100 people, can you imagine!! Like Joe, on their first tour in Europa and that is mostly Holland. It sounds showoff but it's true.

We went to Satzvey and it was a wonderful day and venue. 30C and and an old castle. We had a few drinks and a Italian meal outside on the castle square. We drank a beer with Eric Czar and had a nice talk. When we were eating, Joe was practising  for the show.
Imagine, close your eyes: - Gorgous weather, cold beer, very nice old castle, Italian meal, all Joe fans and Joe playing at the same time . I will never Forget!
He gave this wonderful show with the best soundquality I've ever hears, must be because of the Tv recording.
After Joe the French Band Jesus Volt played and that was a very positive surprise.
You can see me on the DVD in front of Joe. I'm standind behind the woman with the long blond hair, beside the post. I raise my arms a lof of times and have a watch with a black belt on my left wrist.
After the show we had some beers, talked with Joe in the bar and got drunk. We slept in the car( old hippies again like 35 years ago) had breakfast on the way home and went home to our wives and children, who have another musical taste.
A night to remember!!

A few weeks ago we went to a bluesfestival in Schoeppingen, also Germany and saw Joe, Johnny Winter and again Jesus Volt! Outstanding again. I sais to Johan another friend of Rudi and me that whereever Jesus Volt performs in Holland or Gremany we go if possible.
I read the paper last Wednesday ang guess; They perform next Saturday in Aalten 10 kilometers from here and so the musical circle is cosed again.
Is this coincedence??. Go to Satzvey to see Joe, see Jesus Volt, in Schoeppingen see both again and three weeks later Jesus Volt come in a little bluescafe just 10 kilometer from my hometown Winterswijk and they have never been in the neighbourhood, a French band.

You see music is wonderful and surprising, couldn't live without!

You are right.  I must have the broadcast so etched in my mind that 2005 will always seem like the release date.  But now it seems to like it might have been released early 2006, Jan-Mar (not October!)???
