Athens, GA 11-27-07 - Melting Point

I'm excited for this show as I attended the last one and man was it amazing as Joe played his btt off and Crosby Loggins put on a great opening leading the way for joe to rock the house. Paul from crosby loggins group joined Joe on Asking around For You and it was the best version of the song i've heard and I hope they do it again.

Joe you should eat lunch at the Porterhouse Grill and get the bleu chesse steak as it is amazing!!!!  great staff too....  another great place to eat at is  the "Last Resort Grill"  looking forward to seeing a great show and hopefully you'll be doing a meet and greet as i'm bringing my camera and I would love to get a pic.

Looking forward to meeting fellow bonamassa fans and making this a night to remeber for joe so we can make this a yearly visit to athens

Okay, let's hear it Kathy!!!! How was it? I wish I could have come out there but it just wasn't the right thing for me to do last night. I know y'all had a blast!!!

Thanks David, you, like everyone who's been fortunate enough to hear it, got me jealous by hearing One of These Days...Ah, it's alright, you deserve it!  Good thing gas is cheapest in the south!!

Rock ON & Keep the Faith,
Rocket

I agree with everything David A said.   I don't think I could improve on his assessment of the show -- it was fantastic!   It was great to hear the new band and the new songs, as we last saw Joe in Athens back in February.  I really have enjoyed listening to the new CD, but hearing these songs live is a whole different experience.  Songs that I "liked" on the CD are now songs that I "love" after hearing them live, such as Ball Peen Hammer and One of These Days.  (I'd already seen the NSJF videos on the others, so knew what to expect, and wasn't disappointed!)

Joe & the guys were on fire.  Joe -- wow!!!  What David said about Woke Up Dreaming -- you always blow us away on this song, last night it was off the hook!  At the end of it, during the standing ovation, my sister-in-law started the "bowing to the God" move and others followed suit!

My son, his girlfriend and friends LOVED their first Joe show, as did my uncle, my neighbors and other friends who were first timers.  A big thanks to Joe and the guys for being so gracious and generous with their time in signing the many autographs, talking to the fans and posing for pictures.  It means more than you can imagine to everyone, so a big thank you not only for the great show, but for what kind of people you are!  You are the greatest, and have the greatest fans in the world. 

Great to see David A & David C again (and their sons), as well as meet Karco (David) & Debbie (you guys rock!).  I love the fact that Karco made this show a surprise for Debbie, until they arrived, and she ran right into Joe in the bar.  Christie & Michael (not sure of your forum names), Glenn & others -- great to see you, and we can't wait until next time!

I hope that playing the Melting Point will become a regular stop for Joe on the tour schedule.  Everyone I talked to loves this venue, its sound, and the intimate feel of it.  Plus, there is not a bad seat/spot in the house.  I think this is, and will always be, my favorite venue, and I heard the same from others.  In the "dream big"/fantasy category, a two night weekend show would be da' bomb.

Thanks again to all those who shared this great night with us!

Kathy

how is one of these days live?  is it pretty similar to the album version.  with the instrumental outro of the song ive always been curious as to how it would be performed live
