Topic: Bridge to Better Days

Hi Guys,

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that Joe has added a part of the Deep Purple track Perfect Strangers to BTBD on this tour?

Re: Bridge to Better Days

Yeah he definately has, it fits in perfectly betwwen the solo and the last verse. It was funny though because i hadn't heard the deep purple before, so one day when i was listneing to a deep purple album, perfect strangers came on and i was like, wait a minute, that Joe Bonamassa! I then remembered that Perfect strangers was released quite a bit before that and Joe had just nicely borrowed that lick.

Hmm, the part I'm talking about that is from Perfect strangers was added in last tour in the summer i believe as its in the vid in the North Sea Jazz Fest. In the studio version of Perfect Strangers its the bit that starts at 2:24

Unless Paulm is talking about something different to that one.

Hey pete, you thinking about Kashmir?  That's similar, but not exact.

It's been in the live version for quite a while now, maybe even since Carmine and Rick joined the band. You can hear it on the JB-TV version from North Sea Jazz.

Re: Bridge to Better Days

The first time I heard this, (and I believe the first time he started playing it like this) was around May 07. We saw one of the first shows with Carmine and Rick in a small club in San Luis Obispo.

And the song is definitely "Perfect Strangers" from Deep Purple (great song).
