Joe Bonamassa.

Last night Kathleen and I went to B.B.King`s
for to listen to Joe Bonamassa Live!

The show was almost sold out but we manage to get very good seats
overlooking right on the stage.

The opening band was the New York Blues Devils playing traditional blues
with a horn section a very good harmonica player and a singer who acted
and sounded like he came out of the 30`s with a devilish kind of look!

He reminded me of Tom Waits which was cool.

At precisely nine forty five Joe and his band took the stage and had us
under the spell of his guitar playing for one and a half hour.

The guy has it all in one package!

Licks that burn, good looks, a good and convincing bluesy voice,good songs,
many guitars that he was changing according to the need of the songs
and he is equally good on electric and acoustic.

The bass player was very good as was the drummer and the trio
sounded very tight with the overall sound being really GOOD!

He played two British Blues-Rock masterpieces for the 70`s.
"Walk in my shadows" from the first Free album
titled "Tons of Sobs"and "A new day yesterday" from the first
Jethro Tull album with the same title!

He covered songs from his three CD Releases and judging from
the amount of people lined up to buy his latest one,
he left a very good impression!
