Re: San Diego, Dec. 14

"Around the Bend," one of my all time favorite Joe Bonamassa songs, and it works just beautifully into the acoustic set.  Gerry O'Connor has a terrific solo.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-VCVoCJUSY

"Jockey Full Of Bourbon," a great group performance and all are prominent.  I especially love Mats Wester's moody nyckelharpa on this one! wink

Re: San Diego, Dec. 14

No wonder I couldn't find you. Up in the higher seats behind the net wink. A far better view than I had on the floor. Good sound up there. Some complained it was not so hot but the vid speaks for itself. Thanks Rocket.

I looked for you during intermission and afterwards.

Highest seats once again.  Only the 2 spotlight operators, who had to climb ladders to get to their platform, were higher.  Proof of two things.  San Diego Arena is truly, sonically, a worthy venue, which, hopefully, city dickers won't try to raze  one day in a fell swoop (trust me "they" have bulldozers on the brains for the Sports Arena-Midway-Dutch Flats areas!!! mad).  Even though the outside is round, the arena interior itself is oval, which has some advantages, if exploited, over a perfectly round room.  Anyway, additionally, the arena has definitely had major acoustic retrofitting, not sure when, or the full computational and structural details, but definitely reworking the "back" wall uppermost area where I was, where I could see the necessarily steps taken, and they are commendable for sure! Nicely done. smile  Secondly, good sound available at the "worst" and "cheapest" location can occur.  (Zoom on video makes objects appear closer than they actually were, however wink).

Crème de la crème for myself this night, were;
"Stones In My Passway" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n977VceVtY

...and an incredibly ambient, ethereal, otherwordly, "Midnight Blues;"

I totally agree they did some good in refitting for better sound and I was pleasantly surprised. Now that the tribe has control it may stay that way. Sorry I missed you. We went out the front entrance after most had cleared and were down on the floor row 12 left. (I was down by the left side of the stage at intermission chatting with Ashley. Maybe you didn't recognize me since the locks are near yours in length. big_smile )  Sound was good there too, though visual obstruction by the crowd was bad. I didn't think the show was up to the level of the Arlington's but only by a smidgen and a lot can be attributed to the far better venue in Santa Barbara.
Will you be attending any of the LA shows in the next month?

Show(s)?  The MI Musician's Institute benefit I am confident will be wonderful, but it is a bit overboard pricey a donation for me at this time.  And, since the generic aspects of the cause I already play a minor role in, allow me to let others artistically and stylistically step up and be generous, while enjoying themselves out and about.  MI people and their guests are hands down among the best people in town.  I'd enjoy if I was ever there,...but, what other show(s) are you referring to, and should they be in an LA "appearances" section, yet?  Since this is a San Diego thread, it would be cool to catch some Joe here...but expense vs. time with plane, train, or that damn drive down or back up, either direction, band or fan, it can be a nightmare at "predicable randomness" roll For show here, or L.A. for that matter, a weekend extend stay, well-planned, budgeted and flawlessy executed can be a thing of realizational beauty. big_smile  Sort of a forced laid back mode, but nevertheless, laid back... cool

Re: San Diego, Dec. 14

Hi Rocket,
Thanks for posting this setlist of an amazing show....the first of many JB shows I'm sure I'll see. I can only hope that I'll find a recording of this concert in time.
Would have replied to you earlier earlier but have been on an extended holiday travel.

Really appreciate the videos you've posted as well....great to relive the moment. Some excellent footage.

So looking forward to see Joe this weekend (January 11) in L.A. at the benefit show. Are you attending? or anyone else from San Diego going to this performance?

Keep Rockin'.
Jack

New to the forum and my first post here. I just attended my first concert seeing JB..amazing live performance Saturday night in San Diego.

I too was disappointed with the seats location considering they were purchased back in April....made the best of it and really dug the show. A more intimate seat likely would have made the vastness of a large arena disappear.
Where might I find a setlist of the 12/14/2013 show? or better yet a recording? Thanks for the help.

Can't wait for the next show I'll see (benefit show on 1/11/14 in Hollywood) ...just purchased my ticket!

You wanted the set list:

ACT 1
Acoustic Set
Woke Up Dreaming
Seagull
Black Lung Heartache
Around The Bend
Jockey Full Of Bourbon
Stones In My Passway
Ball Peen Hammer
Athens To Athens

INTERMISSION

ACT 2
Electric Guitars & Amplifiers Set
Dustbowl
Who's Been Talking
Midnight Blues
Dislocated Boy
Driving Toward The Daylight
Slow Train
Look Over Yonder's Wall,  featuring Keith Scott solo, Tal Bergman solo, and Lenny Castro solo.
Sloe Gin
The Ballad Of John Henry
India
Django
Mountain Time

Re: San Diego, Dec. 14

Hi Rick,
Thanks for the welcome...just doing a follow up from your original post. I'm attending the benefit show on Saturday in LA. this weekend (January 11) Wondering if there's any others from San Diego attending. Would love to meet up with others who are going or to commute and share the drive...I'd consider staying for the night in LA or driving back down after the show. Looking forward to the performance and meeting up. Let me know what the SD gang has planned.

Aloha,
Jack


Welcome Jack. Nice to see another San Deiganite here.  The set list was pretty much like the rest on the
West Coast loop. I just have the one vid up and don't know if anyone was taping. I shoot a lot but had such great vids from the FRC at Santa Barbara that I just wanted to enjoy the show from my less than sterling location. I have a bunch linked on that thread and it was the same show (except for the guest jam I shot which is linked on the front page in a separate topic) in a much better venue so you can relive it there. I'll be putting up a lot more from there as time permits. Be sure to link up with the gang at the Benefit because there will be several of us there. I'll send you a pm as  plans firm up.

Re: San Diego, Dec. 14

That is by far and away the best version of Sloe Gin I have ever heard. Fantastic the way the song has slowly morphed over time... Thanks big_smile

Come on the Blades (sorry Idolbone just had to borrow your line)
