Topic: Joe at the Bull Run Restaurant, Shirley MA 07/08/06
Outstanding show by Joe and the boys tonight. Oustanding crowd of 300 who were really into it. They even knew the line in Walk in My Shadow that apparently no other crowd was able to remember (Gonna give you what's in store). Even though Joe was apparently a little under the weather, he didn't show it and kept cranking it out. Some great work. Mark had plenty of solo work too. Great interaction bewteen the crowd and the band, Joe mugging it up a lot. Like I said before, the crowd was really into it. I wa also amazed by the wide ranges of ages that I hadn't noticed before.
Saw him in April at Scullers Jazz Club in Boston. That was a great show, but this one kicked that one's ****!!
They threw in Starship Trooper in the encore after Asking Around for You. No You Upset Me Baby though.
Great show Joe!! you acquired 3 more converts tonight. They were blown away.
