Amazing show...anyone get this recorded? "Just Got Paid" was incredible...

Someone behind me in the crowd commented " It's like Jesus came back to earth to play guitar"

Welcome to the Joe.

Had to comment on this again..."Just Got Paid" was a surprise encore song. Not on the posted set list. I felt I was jumping out of my skin when I heard the opening notes. Others in the crowd looked stunned.

I taped the show last night.  This being my first time seeing Joe B live, I really enjoyed myself.  I wish the crowd wasn't so damn chatty, especailly during the softer blues tunes and acoustic song.  I'll never understand why people pay to go to a concert and talk the whole time.

Now that I have a setlist I'll be able to track it out and should be finished sometime this weekend.  Thanks spongeworthiest!!  ;D

Re: Houston 7-21

Bwolf05...That was my 2nd show at the Meridian in the last month and I thought the same thing..I don't know if that room is conducive to a great sounding show...it seems to capture conversation  or at least the whole buzz of conversation extremely well.

I was up near the front but if you were in the middle-back you know what we are talking about.

Re: Houston 7-21

This is sort of an of apples and oranges type thing here but i saw Chicago / HUEY LEWIS last night here in Pittsburgh and at the end of Hueys set a couple of guys from Chicago joined him onstage and did ZZ's "I THANK YOU".

Tell me about the car i saw parked outside your door ? Tell me what you left me waiting two or three hours for ? Tell me why when the phone rings, baby, your up and across the floor ? Please dont keep me wondering no more.....

Re: Houston 7-21

Did anybody tape Tracy Conover, the opener? I know someone who would trade for a copy of her set and Joe's. Any comments on Her?

"Just Got Paid" is a classic by ZZ Top. I think originally off of the album "Rio Grande Mud"

Killer opening riff....powerful and very easy to hear Joe playing this song.



"........I just got paid today,
Got me a pocket full of change.
Said, i just got paid today,
Got me a pocket full of change.
If you believe like workin' hard all day,
Just step in my shoes and take my pay............"

I was wondering about her as well. I checked out a few clips of her on her website and she can rock! Anybody tell us how she was live?

Re: Houston 7-21

I've seen her a few times. She definitely is working on the marketing and networking aspect of her career. Her current live show sounds pretty good. I like it better than a couple of years ago. Worth seeing.
