Saw Bonamassa again Friday night.  Just a tremendous concert.  His concerts always are.  I just don't understand his naysayers out there.  Well, maybe I do.  It's social media! 


But I think he is one of the greatest contemporary blues guitarists today.  He is an acceptable singer.  The band included Reese Wynans on keys.  You all know him from Stevie Ray Vaughan's band.  Rhythm guitarist was Josh Smith who also took a couple lead guitar spins.  Some of you may know Josh from TrueFire and he has put out a few albums.  Joe introduced Josh as "the greatest guitarist on this stage".  He may be. I've seen Josh at his concerts and he really is a great guitarist.  I don't know who was on drums and bass.  Not Joe's regulars.  And three women back up singers.

The band played for two hours and 20 minutes without break. Actually one short break before the encore of one song of about 7 minutes.  Should Bonamassa's "Time Clock" tour come to your area just don't miss it!

Nice 

When I first started seeing Joe I was able to get tickets at $72 for row 2 floor center. 

I see Buffalo on the spring tour, I see tickets are now $200usd each for floor seating gone up a fair bit over the yrs and many including the theatres wanting to get covid money back.

I'll have a hard time persuading the wife to go see him again

The Musicians:

Mahalia, Dani, and Jade were on hand,. Josh was fine, and Reese showed yet again why he is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Steve was splendid on bass, and . Lemar not only killed it on the drum kit, he also ran the multimedia portion of the show
