Topic: An evening with as apposed to just saying Joe Bonamassa

Does anyone why the Boston concert performances say ( An evening with ) as apposed to just saying Joe Bonamassa as in the NY Concerts. Sounds more formal to me? Would that mean a different setlist or an Acoustic instead of Electric?
Or am I reading too much into it.

reading too much. Just means no opening act.

Re: An evening with as apposed to just saying Joe Bonamassa

One more sleep til Sydney. Our tour  is entitled 'Bonamassa Opens For Bonamassa'.
Has Joe been doing this elsewhere (can't see evidence on the setlist thread) or are we really, really lucky?

(And I'm REALLY, REALLY looking forward to it!)

Internationally renowned guitar superstar Joe Bonamassa will kick off his Australian Tour on September 14, 2014 with a brand new show for his fans offering two entirely new and exciting band line-ups with Bonamassa essentially opening for himself.

The first set will feature Bonamassa alongside the world music acoustic band from his #1 Billboard acoustic CD and DVD, An Acoustic Evening At The Vienna Opera House (J&R Adventures).  Playing an assortment of rare, vintage, organic and “oddball” instruments, the performers include Gerry O’Connor, Mats Wester, and Lenny Castro who will run through an hour of the signature acoustic performance from Bonamassa’s Vienna show, treating the audience to a gorgeously textured “unplugged” experience. 

Bonamassa will then shift into electric mode for the second half of the show featuring his regular touring band: Carmine Rojas (bass), Tal Bergman (drums), and new touring keyboardist (and fellow Black Country Communion member) Derek Sherinian.

This is the same lineup he toured with here. You are going to love it. As to set list, who knows? Surely some acoustics ala his Vienna gig, some new stuff from his upcoming release and old favorites in the electric set.

Agreed. Seeing both the acoustic and electric sets was fantastic.

Re: An evening with as apposed to just saying Joe Bonamassa

In 2013 when Joe started opening for Joe..
I've seen a video of him at the opening song state:
Welcome to Narcissistic tour 2013.

of course he was joking.. I got it wink

(If only I had 1% of Joe's guitar talent)
