Re: Joe Rocks Tampa
Thanks for the review, Susan. Ferguson Hall @ The Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center is definitely one of the acoustically best venues in the state. I'm glad to hear that the sound was incredible!
Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend again this go-'round as I suffered a pretty bad back injury back in August, leading to sciatic nerve issues, etc., etc., etc. Driving, sitting, all that "normal" stuff causes a level of uncomfortableness (is that even a word?!? ;-) ) that makes it very difficult to enjoy certain activities.... NORMAL, everyday activities!
It's tough to spread the word down here, especially in the TB area, since everything is Cox/Clear Channel/same, lame formats that resist change. I was hoping for a bigger crowd but I'm sure those in attendance were thoroughly drained by show's end!
By the way, did you notice any tapers? I had contacted the venue way back when tix went on sale and although they have a strict no taping policy at the TBPAC, I was told that they were allowing taping of the show because of Joe's policy. I hope someone was able to capture it.
Hopefully I'll be all healed up by the next time Joe rolls into the Sunshine State.
Hi Dave,
I did not notice any tapers in Tampa, which is a shame. I do hope you'll be all healed up by the next time Joe hits Tampa. That is an incredible venue. I love the seats too. Very comfy with lot's of wiggle room. (Unlike the Hard Rock, where they pack you in like sardines). Anyway, I'm pretty sure Ken and I will be there if Joe plays TPAC again. We just love that venue.
