Topic: "Til we take the final curtain"

Hey Everybody,
          Tonights it for the year.  4 months straight.." It was the best of times it was the worst of times" Best was playing for all of you this fall in the US and in Europe/ Asia.  The worst is that Im going to miss hanging out with the guys and all our day to day fun.   Thank you all..  We are going to have one more blow out show..  Put the pedal down cause there aint no tomorrow.  ( A quote from a great Play..." The Dukes of Hazzard episode 23 ")
Anyway I will post a tour recap sometime in the next few days
Thanks so much..

Yeah Tear Down Curtain for the final time this year ......... and what a year it's been for you Joe , the band , your crew , your forum and all the fans around the world that have seen your live shows around the world ;  Rick & Carmine Bringing Their Talent and Skills as Musicians on Stage. The Anticipated Release of Sloe Gin and The Success That Followed , and turning 30 too ( was that really this may in OKC ?) So i'll Raise a Glass Again tonight as the final curtain closes and say thanks for entertaining us all ....Cheers Dude

Re: "Til we take the final curtain"

Hear, Hear, what they said!  Joe, if you have the energy take an extra bow tonight. You and Bogie, Carmine, Rick, & all the crew deserve it...See you Around That Bend (not soon enough).  Suck in some of that beautiful smogless air at the beach.  Listen to the tide...It will inspire you.  I know this.

Rock On & Keep the Faith,
Rocket

p.s.-Management, Street Team, Fans New & Old, that bow's for you too!!! What a ride!

Re: "Til we take the final curtain"

We hope you guys have a great time tonight, rocking in Orlando at the Hard Rock.  You have been working hard for the past four months and hope everybody enjoys their time off.  Seems that it has been a great year for you, with your new Album, band mates and tour personnel.  Like Michael said raising a glass to you is very appropriate!!!

Re: "Til we take the final curtain"

Another great tour comes to an end and they do just keep getting better and better.  This holiday it won't be sugarplums dancing in my head but wonderful memories of Joe and boys tearing up the stage with the best damn music in the world.

Get some rest because I know you're planning another killer year for us. Thanks and it's been a blast. big_smile

I'm just saying.

Re: "Til we take the final curtain"

Thanks for a great tour, Joe.  You and the band have been great.  And a special thanks to Carmine, Rick, and Bogie who combine to create an amazing band!  And thanks to crew, management and all who do so much behind the scenes, too.  Now this is an order:  get ready to relax and enjoy yourselves for a while, you've all earned it.

Hey Joe,

I know tonight will be a killer show.  I just can't wait.  Thanks to you , the band and the crew for making it down this way.  I know you must be ready to go home and relax.  Gosh, I don't know how you do it, but I'm sure glad you do.

See you in a few hours.

Re: "Til we take the final curtain"

Hey Joe,
    When I feel the earth shake tonight I'll know that you cool have just walked out on stage. 

    Boy, oh boy do I wish that I could be there!!!!

I was just thinking last night about what a great year it has been for you and us.  You,Bogie,Rick, and Carmine are a POWERHOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And of course it takes Aaron, Dave, Jay and Chuck to back that POWERHOUSE up.  My hat is off to all of you and I wish for all of you to have the time of your lives tonight.

Joe Bonamassa, you make me so very proud to be one of your fans and I just gotta' say it one more time,  You are the greatest guitarist, vocalist, and all around great guy of all times!!!   
                                                                luv ya'

Re: "Til we take the final curtain"

Thanks Joe, band and crew for the third year in a row that you surprised me with the best music around!

I saw you in Hannover, Weert and Amsterdam this year and it was superb!
Have my tickets for The Hague  and Hardenberg in March 2008 and more shows will follow(Germany?) I'm sure.

Enjoy Christmas and New Year. Take care all of you and stay healthy!!
