I have an album copy of Joe at Royal Albert Hall, thankfully. It’s a great recording and not something I’ve seen around in many years. Big fan of Joe. 👍
Great interview with a great player, singer, and bandleader! Joe Bonamassa is so multifaceted -- knows music inside and out and also understands the business side of it inside and out, which has helped him make a living at it for decades, which is so hard to do now. I also liked your comment about how it's a total myth that "the blues just happen" and guys like Howlin' Wolf just went into the studio and "smoked it" in a couple of takes. I've listened to Wolf's multiple takes and agree with you: Even his records weren't great without a lot of work and care and polishing. Listen, for example, to "Howlin' for my Darlin,'" which took more than 30 takes, with Leonard Chess driving the band and the evolution of the song to get it as close to perfect as he and Wolf could make it. Almost no one's great on the first take, not even Wolf. It's all about how hard you want to work, and if you're not ready for that, you'll never make it as a musician or anything else.

very interesting and relaxed talk ... cool stories ☮
It was very nice of this guy to let Joe interview him. Damn, how many times does this guy cut Joe off and start blabbing?
This guy is Jimmy Vivino. He's like an uncle to Joe, and knows him for 30 years.
Love it. Great episode gents!
wow great stories
Clapton is God
