Re: bOHAMACCA storms Moscow!
Hi all, my name's Mike and I'm from Moscow. This is a kinda funny discussion you've started here, so I thought I could tell you what yesterday's show actually was like.
Well, it was great
Joe and the guys played for about two hours, the crowd really was ok (audiences in Russia always give artists a warm welcome, we don't get as much good live music as the US or Europe), although I didn't like the venue - too big and, er, formal for the kind of music Joe plays, I'd prefer a smaller bar or a club and the sound was not perfect. I couldn't remember everything cause I was busy shooting away with a camera, but the show started off with "Bridge To Better Days", followed by "So Many Roads" and "Ball Peen Hammer". Joe was smiling and had a good vibe with the audience (whatever that means). The acoustic solo on "Woke Up Dreaming" was a true highlight, SO COOL, everyone was mesmerized with Joe's skills and musicality (no pouty faces, mind you, people clapped along most of the time), next were "High Water Everywhere" and "Django". All in all, it was a very good, solid, high-quality rock and blues performance from the best damn guitar player in the world. We had an encore and people gave the band a standing ovation as they left.I wish Joe did "Blues Deluxe" and "I Don't Live Anywhere", but hey, it's a miracle he actually found the time to go to Russia amid his US tour.

BIG THANKS to Joe, I hope you've found the time to see Moscow, must have been cold, seems like you brought the year's first snow with you Please come back again some day. Cheers,
Mike
Hello Mike, a big thanks for the review, i hope you read this and respond to it. What was the crowd size, did they hoot and holler at any time like all of us do. Do you have any pictures that you might want to share with us on the forum. Did Joe come out after the show for the meet and greet. Sorry, I'm just being nosy, this I find interesting. And last , what do you do for a living in Moscow?
