Shepherds Bush Gig (Page 2 of 3)

The way things are moving the RAH may not be big enough! I really hope it comes off, though. The only downside, of course, is the distance we'll be from Joe. To see his finger work is half the fun. How about the first five rows being reserved for forum contributors?

I've had Friday's show going round and round in my head all weekend. As others have said, I think it must be the altitude that was responsible for the deterioration in the sound quality. Down at the front by the stage the sound was fine and not too loud. I think I'll enjoy the next time I see Joe even more as I was so looking forward to Friday all week that I think I was too tired to get the max from Joe's wondeful playing. Pathetic, I know, for someone of my age who's seen Clapton, Page & Beck several times but I knew that Joe is something special and probably the best blues/rock guitarist anywhere at the moment. The anticipation was tangible. For me there are no duff or filler tracks on a Joe Bonamassa CD.

With all this adulation for Joe, which there was plenty of on Friday, I must mention Joe's band who are the perfect foil for Joe's guitar playing. Bogie on the drums is pretty hot.

How kind of you.  ?    One of my favorite DVD's is Rod Stewart at Royal Albert Hall.  So I know what the place looks like.  I do believe in miracles. ?     pattyluvsjoe

Flight JB1, New York to Gatwick, London. ETA 15.30. Your head stewardess will be Patty. The in-flight entertainment will consist of Live at Rockpalast, ANDY and a compilation of Youtube clips.  Please fasten your safety belts, drinks will be served as soon as we reach bluesing altitude

Well Roy, if this really big show (now if I would have said that Ed Sullivan style it would have read "really big shoe"     ) happens it will be just 4 days before the big guys 31st birthday.  One of us has to win the lottery Roy.

P.S.
I'll bake the cake, you bring the party hats.

Hey Rhonda,
    I knew you'd be coming along on this trip, too.    I don't know, the stowaway part could be fun.....stewardesses (is that the plural?) serving Bonacherry jello shots........ and slumber party at Michael's......Roy grab your things, we're headed to Michael's now.
                                                                                     Patty
P.S.  I think the severe winter weather we keep having (yes, 6 to 7 more inches today, plus ice, plus 50 mile hr gusts)  has made me "loonier" than usual.  (No comment now Rhonda )

I'm keeping fingers, legs, toes crossed for this.  Don't care how much it's gonna cost.  I reckon he could even do 2 nights and still fill out the place.  Oh my ...

Unconfirmed!!!  But whetting our appetite for sure.  That would be the ultimate venue to see you perform.  Just think of all the great ones that have played there, like Led Zepellin, the Cream, EC and Joe would be joining their company.  We would definately have to make that trip.  It would a nice 4 year anniversary when we saw Joe in London there last.  Joe that is  big step up from Jack Beards place!!!

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Joe has to do two dates at the RAH after he appears at the Cornbury festival in July as he'll pick up a few thousand more fans at that gig.

Like Topsy, it just growed and growed.
