[ Closed ] Dave Mathews/Joe B (Page 3 of 4)

I'M on Both sides of the fence here Because While i agree with most peoples comments here on this one .
It won't do Joe any harm in the exposure to large Audiences , but as for limited stage time for Joe & the boys Power 100 minutes , Reduced to maybe around 45 , will it cut to another audience who are anticipating another sound ( but on the other hand Joe & the guys will probably blow most audieces socks right outta the arena's ) Joe has been touring continuesly on his own for years now , built up a huge following stateside & europeside too .... So a little change of a 30 or so date tour will be something fresh and challenging to the guys ... and them 4 do like a musical challenge
And Agree with Joe Beacon too that i would prefer to see Joe Bogie Rick Carmine Building their own show as a Headline band in larger theaters gradually as they have been , But as i said once in a while ( Change it up ) ............ Roy & all at William Morris will do what's best for JB , and Bottom Line Joe will choose wisely

Would prefer someone like in the Blues Vein ( KWS or Even Guitar Appreciative Audiences Joe Satriani / Gov Mule ) But 30'000 Crowds , really cant turn down that exposure ....... Just My 2 Penny's LOL

Joe is Just Under That Radar !

Ok Deezer, I take your point. I've just spent the last half hours cruising round you tube listening to Dave Mathews and although not to my taste, I think Joe could actually make a big impact on Dave's audience. So yes, it would be a good move!

They are largely a big college draw. I know about 10-15 people who I'm pretty good friends with that DMB freaks and only a couple of them are over 25. I mean, they have seen them about 10-15 times, one guy uses his spring break every year to go see them on tour somewhere.

I guess the question mark at the end of the thread title has lead to this debate....We think Joe is the best and anything that doesn't reflect that "bugs" us...But, we also always whine about the need to get Joe exposed to new fans. Then we get the rare request from the W.M. folks to help make this happen..so..that's what we do! I went to the Horde Tour years ago..The Allman Bro's, Blues Traveler and this guy I didn't know Dave Mathews...I was very impressed..He may not be everyone's taste but he is talented and audiences get into his shows. As Martha would say "It's a good thing".              Cathy

Besides, wouldn't it be neater to see how many people would actually get the word out on Joe, rather than just a few people stuffing the ballot box? I would hope that our numbers are strong enough to get that done without resorting to that.

You need to add use a different Email address...a different VALID Email  address and a different computer NETWORK (for each different address)=golden

Edit: Sorry Jane, I see you set things straight also.  Don't risk invalidation! I have personally enlisted a bunch of DMB fans I know...Nancy, Dave Matthews association MAY actually get you in CHEAP, IF you know a DMB Warehouse member-they often get choice free ticket"S" and usually before sale or just thereafter...Joe for free=priceless

I don't care if Andrew was asking our help get Joe an opening slot for the Bay City Rollers. I suspect he (and WMA) knows more about this biz (and what's good for one of their artists) than the rest of us combined. It's a no-brainer and I'm surprised it's created 4 pages of discussion...well, scratch that. When I think about it I'm not surprised.  I remember when I was pushing the Street Team "Tell Rolling Stone about Joe" thing. We ended up with a massive thread about how Rolling Stone was lame and irrevelant, and then wondered why we never got any attention from them.

This is one of the the first places DM's people are going to visit if we are successful in getting their attention. I think we should keep that in mind as we share our opinions here...? Just a thought

You nailed it Stu.
