Joe’s Blues Invasion of Johio!! Columbus, Canton, and Kettering, Johi (Page 2 of 2)

Speaking of changes...how about that weather?

Attended the Fraze show last nite...was very impressed with Joe & the band, along with the Fraze team, in the interest they all showed to the fans' well-being and safety. Yeah, those of us up front didn't want to lose our good seats, but we wanted to live to see our families (and of course the rest of this or the next JB show). 

So, after hanging out in the bathrooms or cars for what seemed to be forever while the storm passed over, the few remaining rain-soaked fans, decked out in ponchos, were welcomed back to thoroughly enjoy another half hour worth of jams.

It was truly great... "Shadeless" Joe, and the guys, with the help of their crew, rocked out and insisted on making it worth the wait, even promising an additional make-up show. That's going above and beyond guys....as always.

I love the addition of the keys on stage and the band is spectacular. Yeah, I'd love to see them play Gilly's type gigs again, just coz to me, bluesy music is more deeply felt in that cozy, dim-lit room. The larger venues seem to lose some of the intimacy and INTENSITY of blues. Sometimes it gets lost in...I don't know...too much air?
Luckily, Joe's got PLENTY of intensity, so it's not reduced as easily.

Joe's music and band members may have changed to some, but sounds like to me, he is GROWING, EXPANDING his style and hopefully LIVING the life he wants to live...and it is his life.
Joe, be true to what you need to do. That goes for all of us!

Sorry you missed it Bizzar...it was fantastic! I think he set a speed record on "Woke Up Dreamin" trying to get in as much for us as possible before 11pm.
Gives you a good feeling inside to know you're a fan of a musician who treats people that well.
Note: Only thing missing was that siren during Sloe Gin...(Need that in there Joe; it's part of the story).

People call themselves fans of Joe, join HIS message board just to give him crap about not playing their favorite song, using keys on stage, ect.  You wouldnt want him to branch out at all...maybe grow as a musician... just keep rewriting A.N.D.Y., playing the same set list the rest of his life, and hell just use the sparkle strat!  Its that kind of thinking..If joe sold 6mil copies of his next studio album and became a household name...people would be saying "I was a fan of him before you, he sold out, yada yada yada."  I mean come on he deserves a little more respect than that.  The guy is doing what he loves to do and thats why he is able to bring such a amazing live show...just sit back and enjoy it and if you dont hear YOUR favorite song look it up on youtube! 
   The other night Joe went to grab another guitar and was told to leave the stage, he hung out through a thunderstorm, then came back on stage to jam for a handful of people, even kept an eye on his watch so he could play til the last minute, and after that stood in the drippy weather to meet some fans.  Not even that hes going back there to play a make up date when he played about 2/3 of his set anyway.  Give the guy a break.  My point being I dont think he really cares about your negative opinions...an honestly its fine to have them, but maybe you should post them some other place!  I understand why he would say something like "If I read any negative comments on this...."

Can I croon to y'all?

croon lol.  some people #@$@# about him being a crooner others do it about too much guitar.  well which is it make up your mind haha with all this unwarranted criticism he must not know which individual person to listen to lol.
