WOW WHAT A NIGHT JOE WAS FRIGGIN AWESOME THE CROWD WAS GREAT THE SOUND WAS GREAT WILL GO SEE JOE ANYTIME
My wife and I enjoyed every minute of the concert & would go to another in a heartbeat. We will be looking forward to seeing Joe again when he is playing in Detroit or Ontario or even Buffalo area.We hope to see him again soon.
It had to be one of the best shows I have ever seen. Beth Hart, wow! John Hiatt, Wow! Paul Rogers, WOW! Amazing line up of guests joining a great axe man. Thanks Joe from Canada, another stellar performance.
Unbelievable the talent this man has. Amazing voice and amazing fingers. I have never heard music come from a guitar like this before. The drummer was one of the best I have ever heard and very animated and fun!! He and Joe went back and forth dueling with each other which was very entertaining. It was cool to see people jump out of their seat the minute Joe walked on stage.
Best guitar show ever. He can really play. Excellent venue, only issue we felt was because they served beer, people didn't stay in their seats. The row 6 ahead of us, got up at least ..15 times, minimum...frustrating. We just wanted to sit and watch him play...He was unbelievable.
First time seeing Joe Bonamassa and was very impressed!! What an incredible guitarist and performer. He played with such great enthusiam and energy for 2 hours. Would definitely go see him again.
Incredible. 2 and half hours without a break Fox Theatre is a joy to be in with almost perfect acoustics Joe Bonamassa's concert was the guitar concert event of the year - this guy is amazing Can't wait until he comes back as I will be the first in line for tickets Wally
skillfully executed. smooth show. Gave us everything that was expected and more.
I had heard the cd's and seen the video but to see him live was incredible. I was impressed that he started right on time and did not stop for 2 hours and 25 minutes. He and his bandmates were clearly enjoying themselves and it showed in their performances. The pace of the show was awesome. An evening I will remember for a long long time.
From the first note to the last, Joe Bonamassa expresses his musical universe with precision and ferocity way beyond his younge age. Seems to master every genre he chooses to indulge in, one of a kind for this age and the future! Not to be missed!!
Joe Bonamassa is the best guitar player in the world, period. The set was simple, the venue not so good, but the show was incredible.
Joe Bonamassa, as it turns out, has been in the music business for decades but remains relatively unknown. How can this be? Of all of the many talented guitarists I've had the opportunity to see, this man is likely THE most talented guitarist I've been fortunate enought to see live. I would see him again without hesitation. His concert was riveting, dynamic, and totally organized. The sound quality was excellent and I left wishing I could hear more. This man and his band need more recognition for excellence in music, Give him grammies!
I have seen the best guitarist in the world... To name a few, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Johnny Winter, the list goes on. Why do I mention these other guitar slingers? Because Joe Bonamassa fits in with them, truly one of the great guitar players in our time. Joe Bonamassa has the skill, talent, tone and the stage presence. He really must be seen to be appreciated. One hard working guitar player. Really puts it "all in"... So glad I was able to see him do his thing.
It is hard to believe that a 32 year old has accomplished what JB has. He is really amazing and anyone interested in "the blues" must at some point do themselves a favour and investigate this modern day bluesman. His music is strong, modern, and filled with emotion and energy. He is this generations spokesman of the blues. It was a great show and good sound for a hockey arena. The only negative point would be the squished floor seats. Something that we should not have to tolerate for the price we have to pay for tickets.
This was one of the most amazing concerts I have seen. This guy plays like nobody I have ever seen. B
Mr. Bonamassa was absolutely amazing- he played for over 2 hours (maybe closer to two and a half) without a break, as if it was the easiest thing in the world. He is extremely proficient on the guitar(s), vocally amazing and had a super crackerjack band. I wish I had one hundredth of his talent and energy. BooHoo for you if you missed him! Can't wait to buy "Dust Bowl"
We enjoyed the concert! Sound mix was excellent as was the lighting. Joe showed that he's the master of blues! The band's style and technique were brilliant. We would recommend them to anyone who appreciates the finest in Blues and Rock!!
He may have played on April 1st. ... but he was not fooling! :-) - Great Show. - Joe and his three band mates played a solid 2 hours with very little dead time between songs. - Well received by the crowd . - Good mix of Blues/Rock - He was awesome ... I would go to another one of his shows in a minute.
How is it Joe, that I did not hear about you before now?!?! Three of us went not knowing what to expect, and were all thrilled with the show. Will absolutely see you again next time you are in town!!
