Topic: Turning Stone Showroom, 8/17/06

Another great show, just when you think you have seen Joe at his best,
he kicks it up another knotch!  His teases of classic rock and blues songs
throughout his set seemed to be more numerous than in the past.  He threw
in bits and pieces of many songs and included a cover of ZZ Top's
"Just Got Paid" with a Led Zep piece at the end. If anyone knows what song that
was, please let me know.  Joe got the audience involved on several
occasions, Spoonful & Burning Hell.  He seemed to interact with the audience
more compared with previous shows I have attended.  Maybe it was due to
the show being so close to his home town.  What ever the reason, it was great.
and it was a great setlist!

Here is the setlist(and album) as I heard it:

Takin' the Hit - So, It's Like That
Walk in My Shadows - ANDY
So Many Roads - You & Me
Mountain Time - So, It's Like That
Bridge to Better Days - You & Me
A New Day Yesterday / Spoonful tease - ANDY / Cream(Fresh Cream)
Acoustic and Alone:
    Miss You, Hate You - ANDY
    Woke Up Dreaming - Blues Deluxe
The River - Had To Cry Today
Burning Hell - Blues Deluxe
Encore:
    Asking Around For You - You & Me
    Just Got Paid / Led Zep tune?? - ZZ Top(Rio Grande Mud) / ???

Thanks Joe, Mark and Bogie for the great show.
The only other person I know with as much kindness, patience
and availability to the fans is the great B.B. King.

Thanks Joe, you'll always see my face in the audience
when you come back home!

Welcome JHawk,

That piece of Led Zeppelin infused in Just Got Paid was probably Dazed and Confused. At least that is what Joe played in Vegas. Great song.

I noticed that he also snuck in some Peter Frampton at one point although I wondered how many people would catch it.

Joe is extremely good at integrating bits from his influences and many other musicians whom he obviously has listened to at some point. One of things I enjoy most is trying to pick out the bits and pieces and identify where that lick or note sequence came from.

You have witnessed one of the most talented musicians I have ever seen live and live is the venue that separates the men from the boys (sorry ladies, just an old epression - no offense intended smile ). Things like Pro Tools can make almost anyone sound good in the studio, but musicians like Joe really seem to come alive when in front of a crowd.

Nothin' but the Blues

the LEDZ song was DAZED and CONFUSED. P.
