Topic: Congratulations on a great year Joe.

A tremendous output and all-around improvement in the total show made this over the top for me. I especially liked the set up for the fall tour that you carried forward from the RAH show. The acoustic opener was superb. I heard many very favorable comments from fans around me after the opening set who'd come for your electric prowess and had no idea there would be such a sound from your acoustic performance. The complex arrangements created a rich sonic experience with the layers of musical output from all the members. One fan, told me he hoped he'd stay awake before the San Diego show. After the show I asked if he had a nice nap. He was stunned and missed the snooze.  Do it again!
The lights were also excellent.
Well done Joe!

Re: Congratulations on a great year Joe.

Could not agree more.  All the DVD's, joint efforts and solo gigs have just been over the top.  I am so happy that Joe is becoming more well known and receiving the accolades he deserves. What a ride 2013 has been and so excited for what is yet to come. Thanks Joe.

Yeah what they said and congrats on another successful year. I don't know how you do it. I know you've gotta be tired especially your fingers. Well have a great Christmas and have a Happy New Year! And I'll see you in April! I can't wait to see you live for the first time.

Re: Congratulations on a great year Joe.

Yes, congrats on an awesome 2013! I was unable to catch a fall show (nothing close enough...cough, cough), but survived based on warm (?) memories of the late March shows in London. Tour de Force alone made for a great 2013!

Re: Congratulations on a great year Joe.

...i've got my 'Bona-Who' badge pinned into the roof liner in my cab ( viewable to those in rear ) ... a guy jumped in a few months ago,said where he wanted to go,off i went... the next thing he said was... "he's not exactly 'who' anymore!" ....we had a nice chat! ...my most memorable Joe moment of 2013.... when he sat,briefly,on Tal's drum plinth at the end of The Albert' gig... said so much! ..and i'll say no more,apart from... relax and replenish!
