Re: Power Trio set list ***SPOILERS***

I Was'nt Expecting That

That was The Best Show , i've never been to cool

That's why Joe Bonamassa is The #1 Blues Artist , that show was Insanely Brilliant

That's what you get if you Isolate/Cage a Virtuoso Guitarist , Joe Bonamassa was in Full on 11 Mode

That Band were i believe the best sounding band ever to be onstage with Joe, They Sounded So So Tight

Steve Mackey on Bass Sounded Amazing real heavy and upfront like a duel guitarist with Joe , Great Sound
Jade McCrea sound Serene and Beautiful hitting every note So Sweet
Anton Fig always in The Center of The Beat and The Backbone of The Groove

Highlights ......

Love Ain't a Love Song ... Arranged so beautiful and Jade and was in Scintillating form
Lookout Man ...  with that driving bass and very heavy groove  superb
Beyond the Silence ... love the middle part like a mash up guitar war
Jockey Full of Bourbon ... The Solo was outstanding here
Pain and Sorrow ... Quite literally The Best Version Ever , it had every Beautiful part of The Studio Version and more OMFG
Scuttle Buttin' ... Joe set this SRV Torchbearer alight, so Wild and Aggressive , loved it, what a place to play it , Homely
Blues Deluxe ... i have to say , this is without doubt Joe's Best Vocal ever here in this song here, he sounded so Bluesy & Soulful
his vocals were Truly Stellar and so impressive , So So Good, as good as The Borderline Version
The Ballad of John Henry ... now this song has not been one of my favorites in the live set, i thought it dragged its feet and was
dreary live, .... But this version was what it was truly meant to sound like, Joe has transformed and arranged into something so epic that it now feels worthy of the story , it is so epic with heavy chords speeded up and Jades vocals adding to the emotion, it was Truly Stunning , love that breakdown guitar part with Steve too, so good

That was one of Joe's best career shows without a doubt, pushing the arrangements the songs sounding fresh , heavy and so tight,  a few times a tear welled up in my eye it was that emotional , Pain and Sorrow, Blues Deluxe, TBOJH

I bet Joe and The Quartet Loved playing that show, it was Insanely entertaining and just what i needed

Thank You The Joe Bonamassa Band

Thanks also to all Joe's Techy guys getting that streamed it was so perfect , in my top 5 Joe Shows, great setlist and best sounding

Love Joe grabbing a Gibson SG and not being nice to it and with Steve wearing a flat cap and Anton straight down the middle
was a la Angus Brian Phil Rudd moment ... so cool    cool

Re: Power Trio set list ***SPOILERS***

I just wrote the review of my life and then it disappeared. I will try again but it won't be the same. My son snagged two tickets at the last minute to see Joe in Huntsville on 4/3. We were excited knowing Eric Gales would be there for at least a couple of songs. It was limited seating at the Mark Smith concert hall at Von Braun Center, a state of the art hall with great acoustics. They did a good job of distancing the crowd, seating was spread out pretty well.
Joe was on fire and the band was tight as usual. The addition of Jade McRae on backing vocals was genius. She did a wonderful job of it and even had her own solo piece in John Henry.
Son and I were not in total agreement on the order but we did get all the songs right. My legs are so sore today from climbing the multiple stairs to get to the balcony. It was worth it to say the least, I would definitely do it all over again.

Oh Beautiful
Lookout Man
Midnight Blues  .......... this on the eve of what would have been Gary's 69th birthday
Wandering Earth
Jockey Full of Bourbon
Beyond the Silence
Pain and Sorrow   ............... with Eric Gales, my fav of the night, cheers Jane
Miss You, Hate You
Scuttle Buttin      ................ what a great cover, Joe tore that Strat to hell and back
Blues Deluxe      ................. had not heard this one live since Nashville many years ago with Larry Carlton sitting in
John Henry        .................. Joe broke out the theramin, a very different arrangement from other live versions

Encores :

Woke Up Dreamimg
Crossroads        ............. with Eric Gales, this was tremendous them trading licks back and forth

As corn through a goose, so are the days of our lives

Re: Power Trio set list ***SPOILERS***

This is funny because we were in the very last row of the upper balcony and I could not see what he was wearing at all, so thanks for posting these. didn't think I would be able to watch them because I don't have a facebook account. But the sound was excellent, and also on Crossroads as well.
Eric is coming back to Birmingham on May 6 at Zydeco on the southside, we will be there and this time with his girlfriend in tow who has never seen Eric before. Oh I tell you this is gonna be priceless, she listens to mostly pop and country music

Just watching the Pain and Sorrow with Eric Gales...wowo I loved his solo....and his suit!!! not that i didn't think I'd like his playing with Joe but Pain and Sorrow is extra special to me so sort of have to protect my heart with it...

the back and forth with guest guitarist i usually don't like that much but this was all OK big_smile

Hi Mike, if you are referring to Virginmedia, then Branson sold it to a US based company in 2013.
They may pay him for the name but that’s about it.
