Re: Omaha, NE 5/4/16

Joe Bonamassa (premier blues player today) In my opinion, better than Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Alvin Lee, Eric Clapton and of course my favorite Duane Allman. Joe was very nice,casual, and fond of The Blues Alive Omaha, Ne. I would just love to win the contest in Red Rocks, co. Morrison, Co. His super quick hands and excellent playing was the best concert I have seen since Live at Fillmore East, and Ten Years After at the old Pershing auditorium Lincoln, Ne. I am talking 1970. Joe Rules and my heartfelt thanks go to him for bringing down the roof at the Holland center. We have fourth row Orchestra center section. Thank you Mr. Bonamassa for the memorable evening I will always cherish. George Howdy Boand.

We didn't have an issue with it being too loud in Reno from the fifth row.  In fact, my husband thanked the sound guy when we left that we didn't need to wear ear plugs!

I didn't have a problem with the volume at all, but YMMV. Joe is still using Clearsonic baffles around his amps, which do a fine job.

Those are a great idea. I was at another show that desperately needed them.

That show reminded me that it's better to put foam earplugs in your pocket and not need them than to not put them in your pocket and wish you'd had.

So for those that have concerns about someone finding it too loud, I suggest just bringing earplugs just in case. Something like this: http://amzn.com/B00Y8LBCUO/ (I searched for the cheapest with prime shipping that weren't an add-on item, or check your local hardware/home store. smile

You can usually find a good assortment of ear plugs at any gun shop.

Why don't we eliminate all the warning labels and let things sort themselves out?
