Pragi 963 Posted February 3, 2020 Mesh, I have not been in a Bonamassa concert cause of the ticket prices. 130 Bucks and more. He musst be a very good LIVE MUSICIAN and Entertainer .I habe seen a lot of good live Videos of hin. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craigb 6,440 Posted February 3, 2020 Have fun. I missed him when he was out here... He literally was in the arena across the street and next door to two of our clients downtown. Oh well! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IIRC, someone said he's very professional and the shows are well worth it (in my case, it's $152 right by the mixing booth). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pragi 963 Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Anyhow it's a must to have seen hin playing live,compareable to Gary Moore. Bonamassa is one of the best guitar player touring today. I hope you enjoy it. Edited February 3, 2020 by Pragi 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

However, there isn't a musicain alive I'd personally pay $150 for outside of a private event to see play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That pricing did make me think twice, but my wife I don't go to many concerts and I wanted her to see Joe live on stage. Happy Valentine's day? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then, if you did, some idiot kid will stick his iPhone in front of your view trying to record the concert... (And that inevitably leads to all the Police paperwork you'll need to fill out explaining why you stole some kid's phone and spiked it into a cement wall...😁) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InstrEd 4,294 Posted February 6, 2020 @craigb Just think of the riffs you will come up with after you see the show I know unfortunately it doesn't work that way Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, not only a broken phone, but also assault and battery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunately the ticket prices don't even put a limitting factor on admittance of these individuals. In their defense somewhere along the way a tipping point occurs and at the rate they pay they should be allowed to do anything they want. 😂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mesh 1,808 Posted February 18, 2020 We went to JB's show on Sunday and was a good concert. The band was excellent (some hall of famers) and Joe was on point. However, his sound was a bit on the echoing side and not crisp/clean (possibly the venue or sound engineer IDK). They played for about 2 hrs. and we were hoping he'll play much longer...but, no go. Overall, it was somewhat of a let down as we expected a little more playing from him, but still had a good time. A few years back we went to see J. Satriani (different venue) and he was excellent (sound wise/played for 3+ hrs.). Compared to JB's show, Satch was night and day....a show to remember and would definitely go see G3/Satch in a heartbeat. Brian, you might be right in paying $150 only if it's private party . The price for Satch was somewhere around $85 and that was well worth every cent. @craigb there weren't any 'kids' at that show.....the average age was close to 60+. My wife and I just chuckled as when we saw Satch (who is 60+), the average crowd age was 30+....a total contrast. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gswitz 461 Posted February 20, 2020 (edited) He mentions how he would never want to use midi from a daw on stage. I laughed at this. I love rapture pro merged with guitar. Edited February 25, 2020 by Gswitz 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
