Topic: Munich 27/3/2008

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooooo!

Just came home from Munich and even though a 1 1/2 hours drive with some relaxed Etta James music lies between the end of the show and this post, endorphins are still racing through my blood like crazy.
Man, that was the best damm show I´ve ever seen in my life!!

My dad and I stood at the perfect place in the front line, right in front of Joe´s "soloing spot" ... my neck still hurts from lookin right up all the time, I was a little afraid Joe would step on my hand if I didn´t watch ...! wink
Oh my, how fast can 2 hours go by?! I´m so glad I´m seeing the guys again on Saturday, because the addiction has taken over again .... I have to say that "Funeral", "One of these days" and "ANDY" are absolute killer tracks to be added to the setlist ... when Joe played that Slide solo endling of "One of these days", I just thought to myself: "Now, THIS is pure happiness - I can´t think of ANYTHING that would make me more happy right now!"

Joe, Bogie, Carmine, Rick - you are unbelievable, fabulous, rocking, breathtaking, .... I would have to invent a new word to describe you four guys and so can I just call you the GODS OF BLUESROCK ?!
I have just two more words left to say for you - and that is

                                T    H   A   N   K       Y    O   U   !  !  !   smile

Luv ya,  Eva

P.S.: My dad took some pictures and I took some videos, but I will post them after I returned from Berlin on Sunday evening, because I have to get on the train early tomorrow ... the two guys next to me also took pictures with a much better camera and I persuaded them to put these pictures online too. They were brothers and the one who stood next to me had never seen Joe before - do I have to tell you that he couldn´t believe his eyes?! wink
The other brother might join the forum/Street Team later... got his E-mail adress and will persuade him to do so wink.

Good night now my dear Bonafamilia - "Good night" if I ever come down and find some sleep ....... lol

Re: Munich 27/3/2008

You Go Girl!! Ace reporting from the front lines...keep those shows coming. I'm feeling your joy! Soak it all in..We are with you in spirit. I can't wait to hear and see those songs....Hurry home Joe, the natives are getting restless!!!    Cathy

Re: Munich 27/3/2008

Eva der Liebling,

Was it fabelhaft, mythisch, legendenhaft, und wunderbar?  (How did I do???)

Sounds incredible (as, of course, we all knew it would be!!!)  So glad to hear that it was everything you expected and then some.  How fun for you and your Dad to have the Joe experience as a shared memory.

Sleep well little one,

I know that Joe could play one of those kid's guitars with the plastic strings and make it sound good-

Re: Munich 27/3/2008

Awesome Amiga,

        The planets must have been perfectly aligned last night. First you saw Joe in Germany, then Cathy, Jane, Carl, and many others saw Back Door Slam in Baltimore, and then I and my friends saw what I can best describe as Stevie "Guitar" Millers All-Star Extravaganza at The Fillmore In SF. A good night all over the world. Have fun in Berlin, and make sure that damn wall stays down!!!!

                                                                                                  Buenos Noches,

Re: Munich 27/3/2008

I think "withdrawal symptoms" is such an understatement right now!!! Thanks for the review Eva.

It's great to see other people's reactions when they witness the magic for the first time isn't it, knowing full well that things will never be the same again after that point!?! smile

Have a great time at the next show too......

Re: Munich 27/3/2008

Way to go Eva!  Thanks for your fantastic review.  It sums up what each and every one of us feels after a Joe concert, pure elation and bliss!  Have fun in Berlin!

Re: Munich 27/3/2008

Eva,

Very good to hear you and your dad had such a great time. Tonight it's Geko's  and my turn, can't wait!!

You made a really wonderful, emotional review! Thanks for that.

Enjoy the Berlin show and I'll tell Joe tonight that you thought it was the best show you saw so far from the band.

Hope tonight it will be: Traumhaft, wunderbar, hervorragend, fantastisch....................

I'm sure it will be.

Gruesse,

Andre and Geko - I´m sure you´ll have the time of your life tonight, have a GREAT time and enjoy just like I did yesterday! I´m thinking of you two this evening at 8 pm wink .... say hello to Joe from me and "let there be rock" ! wink

Eva

Re: Munich 27/3/2008

Hey lil Eva, sounds like another fantastic show!  I know what you mean about One Of These Days, esp. the ending.  An absolutely amazing soulful slide.  That takes music to a different level.  Travel safe and have fun in Berlin!

Music is good for the Soul...

Re: Munich 27/3/2008

Ich freue mich fuer euch in Deutschland!!

En vanavond is mijn goede vriend Andre aan de beurt. Doe Joe de groeten van mij en vertel hem dat de forum oudjes voorop zullen staan op 8 juni in Virginia!!

Y'all have a real good time tonight and tomorrow.

This trilingual message is brought to you by the 'it's almost weekend' buzz.:D

RIP Iron Man

Rock On and keep the Faith

Re: Munich 27/3/2008

Yesterday afternoon, my wife an i made a trip to Munich to see Joe for the first time in concert. And it was worth every single of the 500 Kilometers we made.

I am still totally blown away by the Power, the Feeling and the TOOOOONE. We stood directly in front of Joe, and it was so impressive to see/hear the Man play, feel and breathe his Music. Thank you Joe for a great Show. SOmetimes i almost had to cry because eo the Feelings and the genious of the man up there on the Stage.

Eva, please post here when your Vid's and Pic's are online, so that all others who made no Pictures, like me, have a chance to remember the Concert.

Btw, i am a Guitarist myself, and "we" all are in search for the perfect Tone, but yesterday i heard it :-)

Much fun to everyone who is going to see Joe in Berlin, Bochum and Hannover......

Re: Munich 27/3/2008

Eva it just occured to me that I'm probably older than your Dad. sad 
That's very cool though that you guys go to concerts together.  My daughter and I do a lotta music together.  She's the first one in the door when I DO A SHOW.

Re: Munich 27/3/2008

Eva, you're enthusiasm is contagious and puts a smile on my face.  Enjoy your next show.  Now I'm really eager to see how the US schedule develops for this summer.  Joe at an outdoor festival sounds like a lot of fun.  Hmmm.
