Joe Bonamassa and the DL

[Sweat]

Well my pictures did not turn out but went to see Joe B last night here in DFW, He is just awesome, great guitarist, great showman and just keeps getting better.

Meet up with Robbie from Guitar Center and my boss had a great time. Been blessed to see Joe twice in the last 9 weeks, first at Red Rocks now here in DFW and most likely going out to Vegas next year to see him at the Pearl.

Show opened with an acoustic set doing some acoustic versions of songs on the new album and many others, small break and then to the electric set just rocked. so your thinking EBMM tie in?

Well first used his signature JB Ernie Ball straps all night, had them for sale at the show!!! Then for the ender he comes out in a cowboy hat with the DARK LORD!!!!!!!!!!! Does Mountain Time perfect ending!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Again best concerts I have been too and I have been to many trying to work on the one pic that might be usable If you have not seen Joe make sure its on your bucket list

Thanks for the report keith,
I agree, he keeps getting better every record he does. I loved every album more... driving towards the daylight... different shades of blue...
Plus BCC and his contribution to Jon Lord's Concerto and Deep Purple Re-Machined. I appreciate his work, the more he does. His 4 London shows last year, too (especially the club gig)

Jon Lord's studio version of Concerto for Group and Orchestra is quite possibly my favorite album. The end of the second movement with Bonamassa and Bruce Dickinson is near and dear to my heart. It is so powerful!

I was a little peeved when I found out Morse wasn't doing the whole thing, but the guy on the first movement is just unbelievable. He throws down one of my favorite solos there. Funny thing is, all three players have been Ebmm users at one time or another.

Damn Steve, wished we would have ran into each other, was there with the wife my boss/best friend and his date. Also ran into Robbie G. hung out with him a bit before the show started.

Man I bet it was loud down there, we were on the third level front row and it was loud

I've seen Joe about a dozen times - hung out with him several times and have numerous guitars signed by him (had to go count: FIVE!) - but I still need to score an original Dark Lord...

He just keeps getting better, and is another good example of a self made man!

I'm picky - want a first run - that was signed by Steve - in great shape with all the candy.

I'll call them tomorrow, because this has the reverse headstock and BFR badge, so that's a good sign.

Appreciate the alley oop there!

I love Joe B. but damn, he is starting to compete with KISS when it comes to putting his brand on stuff and selling it. I get an email everyday with something new to buy, lol.

yes that´s the one thing that bugs a bit. On the other hand you can buy the stuff when you are a really big fan

I'm glad I could help a brother out. Mine is not for sale, though, so my helpfulness only goes so far.

Tollie! You son of a...

I just chatted with the Houston store - it *is* from the first run (signed on the control panel on back in silver by Steve) - they've now got it "on hold" (so no sniping ) and he's sending me pics via cell phone as I'm typing.

So you've once again led an upstanding member of the community to sacrifice his money (and sanity) to an EBMM guitar - take a bow!

You guys can read me like a book - huh?
