Pacific Road (Page 1 of 2)

Getting giddy now only 12 hours to go. Travelling over from West Yorkshire. Can't set off til 5! Hope car doesn't break down! What if it snows?  What if the motorway closed by a huge accident? Breathe woman. That's it slow deep breaths. Take a chill pill (all right a nice cup of tea). See you there Jeff.

Not long to go and this is my first gig I'll have a guitar strap to be signed so come and say hello. Lots of friends coming for this one, some for the first time aswell

Here's to a good evening

Quite simply the best of the 5 Joe gigs I've seen, the guys were havin' fun. We even spotted the deliberate mistake you made Joe - we know that Bogie doesn't come from Sydney and Rick doesn't come from Cal etc etc etc. Joe announced that all the English gigs are sold out - no surprise this time round my friend! Bogie seemed a little restrained but absolutely "on the money", but no solo this time round. Carmine was really in the groove and Rick seemed well up for it, giving a great performance of his own. The lighting sucked I'm afraid, I was front and centre and taking a few pictures as you do, the lighting was so poor once Joe moved away from the mic to solo, that it was difficult at times to see his fingerwork - Mountain Time being particularly poorly lit! There were loads of Bonavirgins there lastnight and they took their babtism with great gusto. Two encores . We asked Dave before the start if Asking Around for you was on the set list - he said not tonight. So when Joe played it in one of the encores my partner Sue was in tears, she loves that song, as it reminds her of the loss of her 2 year old grandson last year!

We pick up our guest Batman (Michael Lynch)on Friday and then we're off to Crewe and Manchester Saturday - Aaaaahhh the weekend looks good!!

......and now we've got the same number of posts in common, we simply must say hi !!

as somebody asked about pics , the first installment at www.myspace.com/199949193

sorry , but I'm not sure if you can view pics unless you're already on myspace , but I guess many are .

Geoff..Gutted about Sue's loss..no words!  A few Joe shows with a gang of Bonabuddies, including Michael, is going to help you all put any sad or bad memories on hold. We wait to hear all the stories like it's X-mas Eve! Represent the Bonamaniac Nation well!!!!   Cathy     Jeff. Thanks for sharing!

Jeff -  Very nice pictures!!  I especially like the ones where Joe was trading out his guitars. Something I love to watch but never think to photograph. Lucky you to be in the perfect spot to get those pics!  Can't wait for Part 2.

I loved your pictures Jeff!!!!  You've captured the Joe Bonamassa essence very well, some great hair shots in there, too   Thanks so much for sharing, was going to request Add to Friends, but don't know your last name and/or email adress to request.  I'm like donna, can't wait for Part Two.  What fun...every day I pull up the tour dates, fingers crossed, one of these days...............  Patty
