Topic: Long Beach, CA 4/23/16

Great time last night at Joe's first show of the US Spring tour. Joe and the band sounded awesome. Throughout the whole show I just kept thinking how incredible Joe's voice sounded. Really amazing how good it sounds. Cool to see some different guitars. Joe played a 1958 Mary Kaye strat he just acquired on the first song. Amos was played on a couple. Nice to see Carmelita again and he played a Special which was the first we'd seen that one since 2013 with Beth. Great set list with a bunch of the new songs. We were seated way up in the top balcony and the videos are somewhat shaky because when you have to zoom out that far, any slight movement like even breathing causes a big shake to the screen. Have to basically lock yourself in a position, which of course is just a killer. Plus there was a lot of sound vibration that the camera was picking up as well. Nice view of the whole stage though, and the sound was good from up there also. It was a great show all around and real fun time being there with all our West Coast friends.

Wow, awesome set! I watched a few of these so far, and will check out the rest in a day or two. As always Natasha, you absolutely rock. I guarantee no one has spent more time looking at Joe through a lens than you have, THANK YOU! You make the long wait between seeing Joe live much more bearable.

Cheers

Natasha you always seem to be in the know on these things, do you have any idea if the Fall tour in the US will be a continuation of the Spring one in terms of what Joe is playing?

I'm trying to refrain from watching the show since I'll be seeing it Friday in Reno, but after that it will be great to relive it through your videos!  Thanks again!

Is Hummingbird from the Three kings tour, another cover or an original? This is the first time I've seen the electric version. Didn't he do an acoustic version for Carnegie Hall?

Yes, it is a BB King cover. He played it during the 3 Kings tour. He has an awesome solo in it (but he has this in every song).

Thanks. Wish the lawsuit crap would get sorted out so we could get the Three Kings release. The Muddy wolf show introduced me to songs I would have otherwise probably never taken the time to hear. Joe seems to be able to taking it ib stride and seemingly joked about tired of hearing about copyrights or lawsuits for a lifetime in his last periscope. Hope it all gets straightened out.
