Topic: Dublin Show 8th July 2008 - Thanks for coming Joe!!

What an amazing show!! I've been a fan for a few years but never thought I'd get the chance to see Joe live in Ireland. The venue was probably quite a bit smaller than Joe is used to but it gave a real intimate atmosphere to the evening. I've rarely seen anyone put so much energy and passion into a performance, Joe seemed to be really enjoying himself and the audience were feeding off his energy.

Highlights for me were Sloe Gin, Asking Around for You (Joe sang a chorus without using the mic - that'll give you an idea of how small the venue was!) & Woke Up Dreaming (with the most awsome acoustic solo!!)

Thanks to Joe, the band and his management for coming to Ireland and please, please, please come again.... soon!!

PS - the support act Simon McBride was fantastic also!!

Lev - that's GREAT to hear.  We are so pleased that Joe came to Ireland for you and the rest of his LUCKY fans - old and new. 

Welcome to his Forum.  If you'd like, we have an Introductions category where you can open another thread and tell us a bit about yourself.  Or, if you're comfortable hangin' out here, that's fine too.  We welcome you, either way.

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

Joe was really looking forward to these two gigs in Ireland and was really stoked that both were sold out! Thanks Michael for phoning me and Sue when Asking around for you was being played - you can only imagine the reaction from Sue!

so glad you guys over there got your dose of Joe - it's really quite addictive!

Hmmmm....

So, he played a little Beatles music in Liverpool, a little Rory music in Ireland....

Does that mean we're gonna hear a little SRV music in Dallas? 

Just wondering...   wink

Welcome to the forum Lev. I bet you're still on cloud nine! That was a really nice touch putting in a bit of Cradle Rock. A fine tribute from one great guitarist to another.
