im a metalhead. This is not my usual type of music. But my dad used to love this song and we always listened to it together. He died on leucemia 2 years ago. I really miss him and sometimes i listen to this song to remember him. Thank you, Joe.
Brother you don’t mourn alone. My mom passed December 2019 and I continue to grieve. Perhaps listening to “The Blues” doesn’t help. Joe is an awesome talent. His music is therapy for me. Most time when I listen I cry, but I’m not sad. In fact I’m grateful for my life’s experiences and those that have influenced me. Joe B is good medicine.
Hey Leonfox. Lost both my parents as well. Not that it matters. I am glad you have found some other music in your your journey. I am a metal-head as well , but found the blues in the 90`s when grunge came around. It`s healthy to explore other genres. I truly hope that your loss is weakining when years pass by. A good old fashioned hug comes your way from Norway. Stay positive brother :)
Did you learn? I am 70 and really want to learn. Hope Santa will bring the 🎸!! I still have a bit of a voice left - ready to put them together. Thanks for the inspiration Joe Bonamassa!!
I know... I'm 63 and this man gets into my soul. I am so moved it makes me want to learn to play as well. Too funny there's someone else feeling the same way.
This song is one of my very favorites, moving me through one of the biggest changes of my life at almost 60. Thank you, Joe Bonnamasso, for the luxury of feeling alive again!!! MUCH LOVE and gratitude!
One of the best heart felt songs I've ever heard. You don't find too many Songs or artists that can hold your attention and your heart for 9 &1/2 minutes. Beautiful peace.
My wife and I go every year. It’s not easy for us as were are both disabled. Irregardless we make it happen. Always row one. One show we front row center. Like they say every dog has his day.
Joe’s has did such a great job refining his vocals over the years. He’s now one of the best singers out there. With his guitar skill he’s a living legend.
Was with my brother in Durham 2 years ago in February. This is my brother's favorite Bonamassa song. I was so glad he played this. I'm a dancer. Taught dance my whole life. Almost 50 yrs. My brother who has not one ounce of rhythm in his whole body just started moving when Joe played this. It was so amazing. It made his whole night. My brother took me, my mom and my sister in law out for a beautiful dinner and this concert. Incredible memory. Sorry for the small novella. Lol
Never apologize for a beautiful memory like this. I for one am impressed and delighted that you have brother that is that generous and family he must love, appreciates and is close to. Refreshing to hear that these days. You are a lucky woman...indeed. 👍
@@marvinshook5163 I am so grateful to have a brother like that and also sad that a brother like him is an anomaly rather than the norm. If I told you just what a wonderful person he is you might think I was exaggerating. But he is as beautiful a person inside as I've ever known. And he never tells people about the kind things that he does, he just does them. You know on the other hand I'll tell everybody I gave you a nickel LOL
@@pamelacairns289 Now I know he is indeed a special brother as well as individual. Those qualities are hard to find in this younger generation of instant gratification, selfishness, respect and lost values of what really matters in life that money can't buy. Lol, but this about Joe and I have just recently become a fan and I especially like Slow Gin. Grew up with Clapton, SRV, BBK, Hendrix etc. Don't understand why i wasn't aware of him. So glad I am now...!
@@marvinshook5163 explore and explore his music. I haven't found anything i didn't like. Totally loving the Royal Tea album. And if you get a chance to see him in concert, run don't walk. You will fully appreciate all the more.
This is a textbook example of how to build a solo. Absolutely amazing in every way. Joe’s tone is incredible. The band sounds awesome...this is so perfect on so many levels!
Iv bin the biggest Hendrix fan all my life but watching Joe play live for the last 20 years. He's a professional guitarist to perfection. The Altimit professional
Actually God decided to merge the soul of Gary Moore, BB, Stevie Ray, Johnson and all other Kings and tried someth8ng new in this modern Indian reincarnation stuf into a new Joe. Consider the name ... God seems to be pretty pleased with himself ... Me 2 ... 😆🤣
I didn’t discover Joe until 2016, 8 years after my beloved husband died from cancer. My biggest regret is that he never had the chance to experience Bonamassa . He would have loved it. He loved Clapton, Gary Moore and BB King. Now when I listen to Joe’s music it’s bittersweet. I wish I could have shared my love of Joe’s music with him. Life isn’t fair by any means.
I'm sure he's listening to this now and wishes he was there with you, that time will come; look forward and give thanks to the one above knowing that you will meet him again.
Life is not fair. But that old adage is fatalistic. The fact is, life is short and no one gets out alive. It’s up to us to make the most of all the time we get. So make your choices wisely. Rejoice in the fact that you found the incredible musical talent that is Joe Bonomassa. Go see him in concert. Take a friend with you, perhaps someone who has never heard of Joe. It’s a show you’ll never forget. Your late husband would want you to live your life and if he loved the blues, he would definitely approve of Joe Bonomassa!!! 🎸☮️
I totally understand. Joes music has healed me for a long time. I want everyone I know to experience his music like I have. I dont just listen, I feel it.
Did You hear of Andy Timmons? Eric Gales? They all have their own unique styles....People tell Me, I'm Not bad Myself......Got some Videos up as well.... Check Em Out......Blues Jimi Hendrix.....Cream...Classic Rock.....Pink Floyd...
When it comes to music or the arts, there’s never just one “greatest “, it’s too subjective. It’s all about what we like, what speaks to us, what we can relate to. I’m a HUGE fan of JB. I love that I can listen to his music over and over and not tire of it. We had the pleasure of seeing him live a few years ago, took our son (25 years old at the time). He comment after was ‘He didn’t play anything I didn’t like’. That’s a great compliment.
music is subjective, in my opinion Stevie Ray Vaughn is the greatest guitarist ever. I just love the way he played. He matched Albert King note for note when he was an up and comer to the blues world.
Sharon Schmidt I think so too. How can they nail every note while playing with such soul??!! It's almost unbelievable! Lots of hard work in evidence, here. Much respect!
This is a reminder that though we just lost EVH, there are still other amazing guitar players who are still with us. Joe is the perfect example. This song is haunting to me and one of my favorites. Thank you Joe for your gift!!!
Been hearing about him for years, just recently started listening. Saw a live show. He single-handedly rekindled my love for music. And this song... written for me. 2nd verse gives me chills.
In my humble opinion, the best guitarist among the top 5. Such a powerful voice and guitar riffs.... I've been listening to this song every day for three years now and I never get tired of it Greetings from Bosnia, my friend You are one and only Joe
Blake Faz try this version, its the Live at Royal Albert Hall. In my opinion, this one isnt even close to the LARAH version. ruclips.net/video/4Z-EfcQeifc/видео.html Check it out!
I discovered Joe about 10 years ago. Watched his bio, wow! A child prodigy. Opened up for BB King when he was just 7years old. Seen him live twice in Florida. The man is a guitar GOD. Tickets were over $100 a pop, but well worth it. Bought both of his DVD's. What's your favorite?
2:11 from just a nice easy soulful intro to a slap in the face wah wah infused pick slide. That is just not often if ever seen in the blues but it is so satisfying.
Yeh...this is my current story...66 yr. old retiree...relocating to the Gold Country in Calif. It looks like "loneliness" is everywhere. I saw Joe last Nov. in Stockton, CA....he is my current "guitar hero"...I love him and I love how he plays. My guidelines are pretty high...he follows Johnny, Jimi, Stevie, Eric, Alvin, … I love Joe...and how he plays the blues. He is the "current blues master!"
Joe is a child prodigy in progress. But, driven by talent, passion, and support, he has risen to the top of the list. I see every great guitarist in his work. He has paid attention to the roots. He knows who to give credit to, and follows up with respect and appreciaton. I've seen him twice and was totally in shock and awe. All I knew of blues mainly was SRV. I'd love to see Joe do a few Hendrix/SRT interpretations. That would up the notch in his cover works. wow This man will never be forgotten amonst the very best. Long live JB.
I've seen him in concert twice as well. And yes, you can almost taste the flavors of SRV ,Jimmy, in his playing. He definitely respects the guitar GODS. Long live JB!
Just started working on this backing track, it’s just got so much soul, you need perfect touch and control over the speed of the entire song. Blues at its finest!
When I watch this video, I really don't miss the 70's. In the 70's during the guitar solo they would have shown the face of the drummer or some girl in the audience. As a guitar player, here I have all I need.
40 Albums and 21 of them hit #1. Hard to believe I didn't hear of this musician til 2 years ago. Finally got to see him in San Antonio, Texas. Just after visiting Bubba Gump Shrimp.
Joe Bonamassa you’re the greatest just started listening to you four months ago. You brought me back from the dead. Had a bad month of medication and went to easy way and pointed a gun to my head and pulled the trigger on pistol I forgot to put furring pin bsck in. Where there on purpose or accident it save my life. It was just about the time you played in Omaha and I miss your concert. So I turned you and RUclips . I listen to his set of yours.. And decided it was a wrong way out. So thank you very much I will continue to listen to music the rest my life so play on. Knowing your music has made a difference
I was friends with legendary Johnny Winter. I KNOW Johnny was extremely impressed with Joe. So I have absolutely no problem calling Joe Bonamassa a living legend NOW! An amazing artist since a prodigy as a child!
2:05 The guitar scream. 4:25 The thunderous guitar intro. 6:22 The drummer legs! 6:35 The bassist. 8:00 the legendary pick up selection that made me fall in love with this guitar in the first place! The change in the tone to pure Rock awesomeness is marvelous! 8:20 the drummer legs, yet again!
+Sam Williams : I live in Belfast and the only 2 times I have seen JB I had to fly to Spain: Cartagena and Murcia. He did play once in Belfast at the `Limelight` but I missed him.
One of his best performances in my opinion. Can never go wrong with this guy. He's really got legendary status. I only wish I could have HALF the charisma he has in his pinkie finger.
Saw Joe and band twice at the Palais Theatre St Kilda Melbourne Australia The Tone,timing and pure brilliance of Joe has to be experienced to be believed The audience hang on to every note and those solos are truely spiritual. In fifty years he is the best I have ever seen and that Gibson talks, sings moans and everything in between
Saw his 2017 show at Red Rocks. When he makes that fret run in Sloe Gin at timestamp 2:11 I get goosebumps. He can make that Les Paul live to it's full potential. Gibson should be proud that this man loves their equipment.
I have been a huge Bonamassa fan for about 4 years now. I have yet to see a video live performance that wasn't fantastic. Saw him live and he blew me away ! Best concert I have ever witnessed! He is simply amazing and his band is so Tiiiiggghtt! Love him and his team !
Your best version of this song hands down, I’ve heard many but this is the best and I don’t care that’s it’s your old version, it’s still the best ever. Like you said, you could own this song. Dam straights you could 🥰
This is one of the finest performances he has done. I am so sorry that this band is no longer with Joe I will miss Anton Fig, Michael Rhodes RIP, I am not sure whether Reese Wynans is still performing with Joe. This show was great .
He is extremely talented , love how he plays and sings . Saw Joe in Minneapolis with my wife and son whoo hoo , we lost our other son a few years ago and this is our special reminder for them loneliness moments .
I agree with you 100%. What a tone ! What a talent. Told my sons that if I can't see Gary Moore in the States because he is no longer alive. The next best guy to see is JB. NO doubt .Good for you. How old is your son? I am going with my 2 sons in Baltimore area this Friday. and they are only 11 and 12. I am trying to influence them with rock and blues. they are all into hip and hop and other pop music nowadays.
Amazing is an understatement. One of the most talented and gifted slow jam and guitar solo vocalists I have ever heard. He can also rock. In person has to be a once in a lifetime experience. He's definitely up there with Page, Hendrix and the greatest musicians I admire and respect. Print that and take it to the bank.
I have known of JB for quite awhile but didn't keep up with his music. Recently reacquired an interest and this song just blows my mind. It's (I suppose) to be a heartbreaking song but to me it is exquisitely sexy. The solo at the back end is mesmerizing. Vocals are soulful and moving. Just ......WOW. I just saw him in concert in Chattanooga..this was his encore song. It was great but I wish it had been played like this version!! Thanks for the show JB!! See you next time around ♥️
I would do a thousand miles to see it again ... then still thousands more miles, until the end of my days. As long as my life goes on, I would like to travel and play Sloe Gin, get to the next concert and see it again ... thanks Joe !!
Wow!!!!! The gifts that we are given by some of the most amazing musicians and artist and just don't even realize it...music.... The gift that just keeps on giving....
Such beautiful music and such a talented artist playing his guitar. More amazing than you ever know. Or shall I say what a fabulous band? I would acknowledge all of them with great talents.
I love Joe's subtleness. The way he lets an ending phrase's note's volume fade perfectly at just the right moment. Or when he's in the middle of an energetic solo and doing a high-range run and throws a mid-range high at the absolute full, perfect tone right into the middle of it. Just awesome. A true master. I've seen him live several times and it has always been a treat.
im a metalhead. This is not my usual type of music. But my dad used to love this song and we always listened to it together. He died on leucemia 2 years ago. I really miss him and sometimes i listen to this song to remember him. Thank you, Joe.

Sorry bro.. I'm a metal head too. But I love joe. My first concert was testament Megadeath and judas priest. 1990
🍺
When I go to Heaven please, my dear Lord, allow me to take Joe's music with me. Heavenly, indeed!
Music in Heaven will be beyond our human comprehension! Praise Jesus!
Pure Talent. At 62 im inspired to learn to play guitar. This song brings me to tears. Some people hear music, some of us FEEL IT. !!!!
Did you learn? I am 70 and really want to learn. Hope Santa will bring the 🎸!! I still have a bit of a voice left - ready to put them together. Thanks for the inspiration Joe Bonamassa!!

So sorry for your loss
I feel your pain
sorry for your loss mate, ill drink for him
@@GEDDY553 I’m
Those tones...unreal! Not many guitarists get that kind of sound off of an axe. That's what separates the good from the GREAT. And Joe is GREAT!
My wife and I were sitting in Row 25. We saw him 3 times and this was a great show. The acoustics at Red Rocks is fantastic. R.I.P Michael Rhodes.
Wish I could have been there!
My wife and I go every year. It’s not easy for us as were are both disabled. Irregardless we make it happen. Always row one. One show we front row center. Like they say every dog has his day.

Wow I would love to see this

Grow up.
Iv bin the biggest Hendrix fan all my life but watching Joe play live for the last 20 years. He's a professional guitarist to perfection. The Altimit professional
That double bass kick drum during the solo just propelled the entire feel of the song to the next level. So damn good.
Anton Fig
Totally
Super Human performance Anton. Figg.
Uhhh that was insane!!!!!! 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎸 🎸
Joe is the greatest guitarist & singer that I've come across in years! Would love to see him live.
An old soul, paired with an old guitar, performing an old song in a new suit. Brilliant.
Actually God decided to merge the soul of Gary Moore, BB, Stevie Ray, Johnson and all other Kings and tried someth8ng new in this modern Indian reincarnation stuf into a new Joe. Consider the name ... God seems to be pretty pleased with himself ... Me 2 ... 😆🤣
A very emotional song for those who feel a little bit sad and lost in life after life's hits❤️
Listen to Tim Curry's original if you really want to feel it.
@a3a14613 thanks i i will👍

He had a great taste in music.
I totally understand. Joes music has healed me for a long time. I want everyone I know to experience his music like I have. I dont just listen, I feel it.
Joe is the greatest guitarist in the world. He plays from his soul
Did You hear of Andy Timmons? Eric Gales? They all have their own unique styles....People tell Me, I'm Not bad Myself......Got some Videos up as well....
Check Em Out......Blues Jimi Hendrix.....Cream...Classic Rock.....Pink Floyd...
he is not the greatest in the world and if you think that then you need to get out more...
When it comes to music or the arts, there’s never just one “greatest “, it’s too subjective. It’s all about what we like, what speaks to us, what we can relate to. I’m a HUGE fan of JB. I love that I can listen to his music over and over and not tire of it. We had the pleasure of seeing him live a few years ago, took our son (25 years old at the time). He comment after was ‘He didn’t play anything I didn’t like’. That’s a great compliment.
I find Amazing that this Band sounds this good live,very Impressive Mr.Bonamassa.
music is subjective, in my opinion Stevie Ray Vaughn is the greatest guitarist ever. I just love the way he played. He matched Albert King note for note when he was an up and comer to the blues world.
Bezapelacyjnie, jeden z najlepszych kawałków, jakie w życiu usłyszałam. Kocham to.
Honestly, Blues music always hits me in the soul, this song though just hits that bit harder. It is just perfection.
Amen
This version is just so good it hurts.
Yea this really touches the soul.
It’s fucking beautiful my man.
This performance is the definition of perfection. Standing ovation to all!!
Sharon Schmidt I think so too. How can they nail every note while playing with such soul??!! It's almost unbelievable! Lots of hard work in evidence, here. Much respect!
Amen to that
Oh yeah!❤
The talent on that stage is incredible
Yeah
The Joe Bonamassa band is the greatest rock blues band to ever tour North America and abroad!!
😎😎😎😎
He is amazing ... never get tired of this... Just discovered him today so glad I did. Sixty five and still feeling it ...
Put it on whatever you can and listen to it very loud!! Old skool way? Cassettes.
Explore on! You won't find a bad album. Look from beginning to end. You have happened upon greatness
Take it in brother, it’s never to late to be moved
Show someone they aint seen nothin from you, yet. Our time is beginning.
I'm am quite sure that my Uncle Gary knew this guitarist. But I can't ask him b/c he died unexpectedly and i am so lonely without him texting me....
This is a reminder that though we just lost EVH, there are still other amazing guitar players who are still with us. Joe is the perfect example. This song is haunting to me and one of my favorites. Thank you Joe for your gift!!!
Hello happiness 🤗
How are you doing?
Finally some music that touches the soul and can make you feel each note in a different way
just can't get tired of listening to his music time after time !
getting tears in my eyes everytime I hear it.
Beautiful song. A great drummer. Great bass player and pianist. Fantastic vocals and guitar - thank you.
Who is the drummer here? Is that Anton Figg ?
Yes, he is!!
This is not only music. This is also passion, dedication,…
One of my favorit songs ever, always goosebumps and tears because of it’ s beauty!👏
Been hearing about him for years, just recently started listening. Saw a live show. He single-handedly rekindled my love for music. And this song... written for me. 2nd verse gives me chills.
It is so beautiful & rather haunting.
If the blues had a heartbeat 💓
This it’s the song I’d think of
My blue heart beats to this…
Thank you Joe 💙
In my humble opinion, the best guitarist among the top 5. Such a powerful voice and guitar riffs....
I've been listening to this song every day for three years now and I never get tired of it
Greetings from Bosnia, my friend
You are one and only Joe
One of my favorite songs and favorite versions. His blues stuff is just incredible
Wow. What more can we say, he’s incredible . His whole band is fantastic !
My favorite song Joe. I never tire of hearing you sing or play. What a gift God gave you !
Goosebumps every time i hear this , a masterpiece !
Yup
Am in tears now, reminds me of my wife who is passed away now.
Bless you brother 🙏🏼
Breathtaking solo! God bless you, J.B. and Band!
This song has sustained me through difficult times in my life Joe you are one of the most important people in my life
Man I cant even listen to the studio version anymore because this version blows me away, tapping in from another universe!🤘
Same here.

Einfach geil!!!!Joe bonamassa eben
I do have all of his CD's and I listen to the live CD's more. Dust Bowl just resonates better and Mountain Time.
He has done so much work with his voice, and it definitely shows. He's quite a competent vocalist now. Of course, his guitar work speaks for itself.
My internal tone meter is slammed on 10. Another amazing performance!! Crushing it as usual. Thank you Joe and company !!!🎉
2:11 from just a nice easy soulful intro to a slap in the face wah wah infused pick slide. That is just not often if ever seen in the blues but it is so satisfying.
ALL Musicians in this Band are great.
He only picks the best!
Greatness surrounds themselves with greatness
Intensely satisfying blues artistry from Joe Bonamassa. A real tribute to the legends of old.
The Blues is still alive!
Karan Gera Do you consider this is blues?
hahahaha
You'd be daft if you don't
This is NOT blues, Bonamassa is sterile, his sound does not excite me at all and he mostly plays too fast for the blues
I definitely need what you're smoking if you're under the ridiculous perception that this isn't blues.
You have no soul. More bieber for you..
Yeh...this is my current story...66 yr. old retiree...relocating to the Gold Country in Calif. It looks like "loneliness" is everywhere. I saw Joe last Nov. in Stockton, CA....he is my current "guitar hero"...I love him and I love how he plays. My guidelines are pretty high...he follows Johnny, Jimi, Stevie, Eric, Alvin, … I love Joe...and how he plays the blues. He is the "current blues master!"
Hands down the best thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life
I’ve never heard perfection till now and I am a huge critic of blues and rock but I’m just gobsmacked by Joe’s music
That’s the correct answer
Joe is a child prodigy in progress. But, driven by talent, passion, and support, he has risen to the top of the list. I see every great guitarist in his work. He has paid attention to the roots. He knows who to give credit to, and follows up with respect and appreciaton. I've seen him twice and was totally in shock and awe. All I knew of blues mainly was SRV. I'd love to see Joe do a few Hendrix/SRT interpretations. That would up the notch in his cover works. wow This man will never be forgotten amonst the very best. Long live JB.
Jon Ishmael joe does hendrix tunes alot and his best song he does is are you experianced which he destroys
Jon Ishmae
No doubt, Joe is a guitar magician and his voice resonates as the best
I've seen him in concert twice as well. And yes, you can almost taste the flavors of SRV ,Jimmy, in his playing. He definitely respects the guitar GODS. Long live JB!
Well said!
Each Day I listen to this Song. It is and wil be always my favorite Song,and reminds me of my Late Husband who loves Joe's Music so much.
Hello vera🤗
How are you doing?
How can you not love this brilliant performer.Just play blues man.
Your brilliant ,
What a fantastic performance and a great song.
Joe live is awesome! This one is just so beautifully done by the entire ensemble band.
Been following JB for a while now. His guitar playing has always been top notch but I think his vocals keep getting better the longer he does this.
Just started working on this backing track, it’s just got so much soul, you need perfect touch and control over the speed of the entire song. Blues at its finest!
True sound! Live band; no click, no playback! True blood running through the veins! Amazing!
One of the first things I noticed is that they are playing without earpieces, so rare lately.
When I watch this video, I really don't miss the 70's. In the 70's during the guitar solo they would have shown the face of the drummer or some girl in the audience. As a guitar player, here I have all I need.
40 Albums and 21 of them hit #1. Hard to believe I didn't hear of this musician til 2 years ago. Finally got to see him in San Antonio, Texas. Just after visiting Bubba Gump Shrimp.
Joe Bonamassa you’re the greatest just started listening to you four months ago. You brought me back from the dead. Had a bad month of medication and went to easy way and pointed a gun to my head and pulled the trigger on pistol I forgot to put furring pin bsck in. Where there on purpose or accident it save my life. It was just about the time you played in Omaha and I miss your concert. So I turned you and RUclips . I listen to his set of yours.. And decided it was a wrong way out. So thank you very much I will continue to listen to music the rest my life so play on. Knowing your music has made a difference
JOE IS KEEPING THE BLUES ALIVE,STAY ALIVE JOE.GOD BLESS YOU FOR YEARS TO COME,YOUR ONE OF A KIND OR A FULL HOUSE.
Great job Joe, kudos - That Bass player was killing it tonight, wow great show boss!!
Michael Rhodes. Bass player par excellence!
I was friends with legendary Johnny Winter. I KNOW Johnny was extremely impressed with Joe. So I have absolutely no problem calling Joe Bonamassa a living legend NOW! An amazing artist since a prodigy as a child!
Super! What a sad song. My heart is squeezed by emotions. Thank you JOE! I am delighted with your creativity. You're the best!.
Jij bent de beste, super.🎸🎶🎸
Hello Natalia 🤗
How are you doing?
2:05 The guitar scream.
4:25 The thunderous guitar intro.
6:22 The drummer legs!
6:35 The bassist.
8:00 the legendary pick up selection that made me fall in love with this guitar in the first place! The change in the tone to pure Rock awesomeness is marvelous!
8:20 the drummer legs, yet again!
I watched this from row 62. Outstanding show. I rented a car and drove 600 miles to see it.
+James Reed Was it fuking awesome , because i think it was !!! I even met him and got a picture
+Sam Williams You Sam, have my total respect!!
+Sam Williams :
I live in Belfast and the only 2 times I have seen JB I had to fly to Spain: Cartagena and Murcia. He did play once in Belfast at the `Limelight` but I missed him.
+s blair Wow! Totally worth it :)
He's playing in Sheffield in a couple of weeks! I'm going :)
One of his best performances in my opinion. Can never go wrong with this guy. He's really got legendary status. I only wish I could have HALF the charisma he has in his pinkie finger.
He's said this and 2009 at Royal Albert Hall are tied for is best live performance.
U cant have it all... Despite of it.... he is awesome fucking good...
Love Joe
Saw Joe and band twice at the Palais Theatre St Kilda Melbourne Australia
The Tone,timing and pure brilliance of Joe has to be experienced to be believed
The audience hang on to every note and those solos are truely spiritual.
In fifty years he is the best I have ever seen and that Gibson talks, sings moans and everything in between
Saw his 2017 show at Red Rocks. When he makes that fret run in Sloe Gin at timestamp 2:11 I get goosebumps. He can make that Les Paul live to it's full potential. Gibson should be proud that this man loves their equipment.
I have been a huge Bonamassa fan for about 4 years now. I have yet to see a video live performance that wasn't fantastic. Saw him live and he blew me away ! Best concert I have ever witnessed! He is simply amazing and his band is so Tiiiiggghtt! Love him and his team !
One of the absolute best live performances I've heard in almost 50 years!
This is one to shed the tears to. Nothing but the blues can have that effect.
What a superb performance!! I absolutely love your music Joe.
He never ceases to amaze me with his passion in his music... I truly love his music
What a talent, what a band, what a song!
god, that solo gives me goosebumps every single time
I could listen to this all day, one of my favorite songs right now.
I listen to Joe everyday
Your best version of this song hands down, I’ve heard many but this is the best and I don’t care that’s it’s your old version, it’s still the best ever. Like you said, you could own this song. Dam straights you could 🥰
This is one of the finest performances he has done. I am so sorry that this band is no longer with Joe I will miss Anton Fig, Michael Rhodes RIP, I am not sure whether Reese Wynans is still performing with Joe. This show was great .
he was touring with him this year
Ich war gestern in seiner Show in Hamburg und bin absolut begeistert, bei diesem Song blieben meine Augen nicht mehr trocken....Gänsehaut!!!!
He is extremely talented , love how he plays and sings . Saw Joe in Minneapolis with my wife and son whoo hoo , we lost our other son a few years ago and this is our special reminder for them loneliness moments .
I agree with you 100%. What a tone ! What a talent. Told my sons that if I can't see Gary Moore in the States because he is no longer alive. The next best guy to see is JB. NO doubt .Good for you. How old is your son? I am going with my 2 sons in Baltimore area this Friday. and they are only 11 and 12. I am trying to influence them with rock and blues. they are all into hip and hop and other pop music nowadays.
@@saigonKT i'm 62 and my son 34 , good luck with them boys
His voice keeps getting better!!
Goes great with a classic martini or a stiff gin and tonic or two.
One of his best songs and performances - poignant and soulful.
Amazing is an understatement. One of the most talented and gifted slow jam and guitar solo vocalists I have ever heard. He can also rock. In person has to be a once in a lifetime experience. He's definitely up there with Page, Hendrix and the greatest musicians I admire and respect. Print that and take it to the bank.
This is the BEST version of "Sloe gin". Love this song!
Hello Elena 🤗
How are you doing?
seeing him live is the best ever... and i can't wait to go see him play at the Red Rocks!
I have known of JB for quite awhile but didn't keep up with his music. Recently reacquired an interest and this song just blows my mind. It's (I suppose) to be a heartbreaking song but to me it is exquisitely sexy. The solo at the back end is mesmerizing. Vocals are soulful and moving. Just ......WOW.
I just saw him in concert in Chattanooga..this was his encore song. It was great but I wish it had been played like this version!! Thanks for the show JB!! See you next time around ♥️
I would do a thousand miles to see it again ... then still thousands more miles, until the end of my days. As long as my life goes on, I would like to travel and play Sloe Gin, get to the next concert and see it again ... thanks Joe !!
Have been loving this Song from the first time listening. This take is absolutely awesome.
Hello lowin🤗
How are you doing?
words fail to express how wonderful Joe Bonamassa is, simply the best GUITARIST I have ever heard
Alive with David Gilmour
After Rory Gallagher & Gary Moore even if I like a lot Joe and particulary this song
Listen to Danny Bryant!! He is brilliant too.
@@alanbennington2641 Ahahahaha love your humor buddy
When that double foot bass drum kicks in, it makes my heart flutter....This and Mountain Time are the only two songs I ever need to listen to...
One of my favorite songs. AMAZING!!! That solo WOW!
Wow!!!!! The gifts that we are given by some of the most amazing musicians and artist and just don't even realize it...music.... The gift that just keeps on giving....
Such beautiful music and such a talented artist playing his guitar. More amazing than you ever know. Or shall I say what a fabulous band? I would acknowledge all of them with great talents.
One of the greatest musicians of this lifetime. So timeless!
Man in person, this man is incredible!!!!!!!
This song is perfect. Builds just like legendary songs such as Stairway and Freebird.
I love Joe's subtleness. The way he lets an ending phrase's note's volume fade perfectly at just the right moment. Or when he's in the middle of an energetic solo and doing a high-range run and throws a mid-range high at the absolute full, perfect tone right into the middle of it. Just awesome. A true master. I've seen him live several times and it has always been a treat.
Son dernier concert du 7 mai 2022 au dôme de Paris était génial.
Un grand parmi les grands
