I swear I am head over heels for this guy, his playing, his voice, everything....i'm in trouble

[@margaretbonnette678]

When Roy Weisman said "it's not about making money, it's about doing something that you enjoy" I did a thumbs up. I'd like to see the movie industry put art before money!!

[@leapsplashafrog]

Margaret Bonnette Check out blade runner 2046

[@chrisbeau]

Thank you all for such amazing talent, for persevering, for taking risks, really really appreciated! :-)

[@eqlzr2]

This series of videos is so interesting, in part because it shows how a young talented and smart guy, with the right kind of support, can make a fine living today in the music business. Based on his own remarks, he was certainly way beyond gifted in the support department. But, all of us benefit in the end.

[@JasonHenderliter]

As for the overlap the answer is simple. Much like when a tv show is "To Be Continued", this series of videos wasn't meant to be watched all together on here. Therefore, each video has relevant footage from the last video that some people may have missed if they did not watch the prior video. Joe has taken blues, thrown in some rock and helped the genres evolve and spawn new sub-genres.

[@ThePaigeadamson]

Class Act! Mr. Bonamossa!

[@TheBombo777]

Fucking AWESOME. I have developed a tremendous respect for Joe and J & R Adventures, and Kevin Shirley.

[@andydunn5673]

I’ve got this album on vinyl and is my favourite of all time

[@rgbrin]

Joe B is #1....he has earned it many times over...

[@pauladams5764]

[@AcidVienna]

This guy is just gett'n better and better and all these really great musicians giving support....OUTSTANDING! Hope to meet ya once at some point in time and space :)

[@lovingatlanta]

👍😍Love love love the magic that happens in his camp.

[@imaseeker100]

incredible - joe sells out 4 shows in a week in London and the show in Kingston NY still has seats left. I notice that our local radio station NEVER plays any bonamassa. I guess that's what happens when you don't kiss the industry's ass. joe roy kevin. keep on truckin' bruthas! we freekin LOVE you! see you in a few weeks.

[@lornayoung6947]

Yes I call stations and request his music they may play ONE

[@Dionydejesus]

I heard about Bonamassa before but I didn't pay to much attention before, but when I started to heard this son "Just Got Paid" I got hocked, and well I see this Bonamassa Documentary, I tell to my self well probably is the same boring thing that company want us to hear. Well!! for my surprise!!! about the way they think about "company" is the way I think it should be, the way they do things!! Now Bonamassa win a new fan!! I love the way he play and sing and the way they do things, I'll be sure to have ALL HIS MUSIC AND DVD's tho my Praise and Honoring Collection.

[@yrulooknatme]

Joe rules and will own the world someday. He is the only guitar player I wanna see before I pass.

[@voluntariodaverdade7216]

Sou fã do Joe x da Beth 😍🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@inthapocket378]

Extraordinary artist, really likable guy! Big fan!

[@wandacurtis8728]

The boxed set arrived and I just spent the best concert weekend that I've had in a long time! Thank you Joe. What's next? Can you top the Tour de Force project? I'm sure that you will. Now, when will you release cds to these great concerts? To Joe, Roy, Kevin and the rest of the group, Job Well Done!

[@SashaL]

It's very sad. But. The man fell ill, it can happen to anyone and at any time. I wish a speedy recovery to Mr. Bonamassa, good health and long life. We're still waiting for you in Minsk! Best regards, Sasha L.

[@bnelson313braveheart8]

Absolutely victorious!

[@johnnytheshu]

Last Kiss, originally released on Ballad of John Henry - but also on the 2009 Royal Albert Hall.

[@Songbird1226]

I especially love min. 18.27 - 19.29. Awesome!!

[@gregghaynes401]

I'VE BECOME A FANN!

[@tornadoalimary]

People are most brilliant.

[@phildohogne1970]

I came in the middle of your career (maybe?). you had your hair slicked back and had a suit on. I thought who or what is this geek trying or pretending to be? You weren't pretending, but you weren't and are not a geek. By your own admission, you are a nerd. You seem very grateful and humble (be it an act or for real) it works. And you have a great voice, are a good writer and are a fucking incredible guitarist. I am coming from the Holdsworth School of legato so these are hard words to come from me ( and not begrudgingly) You are the best at what you do times three. And , you are from the school of not ripping people off when you know a lot more about vintage than they do. I quit dealing in 1981 because of how unpleasant it made me feel to just keep quiet when they were asking much less than it is worth ( an old lady on Social Security finished me off- I was not in a position to rectify this as I was an employee) so I quit a successful store I had been with for years that pre-dated Norn's by quit a bit. You humble me and deserve all you have.

[@PietyOFpaxson]

There is a magic there, and I think it sparks from the mystical improvising of the souls

[@targetpanicrecords]

Joe and his band were amazing in Charleston for the 2018 run

[@jayjack2046]

talent

[@bustos1959]

This is learning life of music industry 101 from someone who knows. Strugglles happens in the beginning then you grow with hard ass work and then you are able to buy all rare guitars . Purist always want they artist to struggle when they are first found them as a fan , and kept them there it seems to be broke artist makes real to there music. Life has value , we will as most fan cherished those with no talent that makes lots of cash for a song that is good but not a master for a life , he's a master artist that should earn what he deserve.

[@011219551]

This is awesome~~~~Thanks for posting~~~~ :)

[@stephenquail3168]

Real from the heart music is timeless,and it doesn't depend on what's currently popular at this time.

[@bubyacobozzi1457]

18:00 .....What a unique concept on making music..... many people talk it, J and R adventures walks it.

[@genva4577]

Awesome ❤

[@marjoriejohnson6535]

I was in and out of hospital when Joe played binghamton veterans arena....big regrets. I missed my chance because I can no longer travel ...on my list of top 5 guitarists I wanted but never got to see in person...

[@seventurns100]

Tremendous!

[@PIlotrcm]

Joe is taking a long route but he's earning "true fans". Unlike ones that sell millions of albums on initial release and after 2 years their shelf span is over. Where their music is written and produced and processed to the point that the artist is there to leave a pretty face on an album cover and has little personality in "their" album. As a guitarist in my mid 30s I am very jealous and envious of Joe. I played in a blues band in college and now I'm your typical working class fool. He is doing what he loves, he's pursuing his dream, and I'm happy for him and wish him the best of luck! He's fighting against odds today that Hendrix or Clapton never had to face.

[@krazziee2000]

great story, thanks

[@jamesjirvine]

Sure love this. Why is the talking rcorded at 2 and the music blasts in at +10. Waring out my sound control knob.. Still worthwhile.

[@danieltritone]

To Joe and Roy: Respect!

[@ChrisNealeLoneArrow]

A blues guitar player sold out The Royal Albert Hall and three other London venues in just one week... proof that music industry 'execs' only really know about what Justin Bieber or 1D fans want... in other words sweet FA about music! Truly inspiring documentary!

[@Blue_3rd]

Thanks mate! It´s the phrase from :41 to :43 that gets me!

[@lemonpi3386]

Joe you are a beast and a half.... but holy wow that Doug guy's voice! Some Seriously good musicians here

[@NatePieper]

...because at J&R Ventures... ...at J&R Ventures... I wonder if he's a part of J&R Ventures? Lol in all seriousness, this was amazing, what an inspiring story!

[@fuzzy121]

Dude!!!

[@andrewfakhouri6538]

Somehow I think the success of Black Country Communion also helped to catapult the Joe Bonamassa name as well. Huge fan! Can't wait to see Joe in Dec. at the San Diego Sports Arena Show.

[@tornadoalimary]

Joe ... Interesting...

[@tuckermoreland147]

i'm an old fart. 67 now bonamassa is a pure pleasure. best thing since srv.

[@tornadoalimary]

Win.

[@Blue_3rd]

What´s the tune at the start of the video? I love it!

[@tornadoalimary]

Ride your wave as others will shake your hands on the way of your future.

[@dvk2photographer]

red stringer at 11:30

[@toxablack]

The second time concert in Minsk canceled , it is very sad.

[@coffeewaldo]

Joe said years ago he was just going to keep touring and playing and slowly hope to grow a following. At least he didn't come in the pop door like Mayer to get famous.

[@757optim]

The first 8:20 repeats from Part 2.

[@pacochuquiure7807]

where can i find part 4? great documentary!

[@Arkadius1984gl]

You know, I always tend to think that it is thanks to talented people like Joe that we still have all the beautiful works of art that we can display and enjoy in museums around the world. Like I guess that Leonardo Da Vinci would have made a quick buck by painting quickly 100's of shitty paintings of naked girls for the horny people of his age, but instead he created masterpieces. It's the same with Joe - he could pretend to be cool guitar player, play in some shitty one season band to please an industry and everyone forgets about such musicians when the summer is over. But I think that people that really value good music will still listen to Bonamassa 20-30,.50 years from now - Just like we do listen to all the great Classical music or even great rock pioneers of 50-60's.

[@davidgrandy4681]

What is the name of the song played during the intro of Part 3? It's beautiful.

[@daveyojets]

last kiss

[@johnnytheshu]

Albion...Joe posted some info on it a couple/few months back. Search KZbin for the link to the KZbin (song only - no video) by another fan.

[@tonygriffiths2485]

Thing is, was the 1959 Les Paul that was sold to (the wonderful) Gary Moore who got it from Jeff Beck belong to Paul Kossoff ? Would love to know because if it is I've had that on my lap, not plugged in though !

[@mulemusic]

Are these the price through the theater or an online sales outlet? I ran into that a couple of years ago in the BURGH as well, but found them at a much better price by going through the Benedum office instead. At least half the price (70 for row 4) ...

[@jlarsena]

Someone needs to put this all together in one video without overlapping and seening the same thing over and over and over, especially the start for 2 minutes.

[@jdisom]

jlarsena Good gracious....this saved you from buying the DVD set....get over it crybaby...

[@TheCrystalyne]

If you watched Part 2 before this, you can skip the first 10 minutes unless you enjoy repetition...

[@hellolemonde1]

What's the intro Music ?

[@DavidGoodland]

Great video but a third of it was just a part 2 recap.

[@hulldanfan]

Joe is a fine guitar player and an even greater person, but intimating that his version of Lazy is in any way better than the original is just madness. I have no idea as to what part of him is unsurpassed or indeed what benchmarks he has broken. From an objective position, Joe is a superb guitarist who makes really good music. Why a lot of his fanboy element try and elevate him to something he really isn't is beyond me. Just let him get on with what he does and enjoy it !!

[@jasonjasonjasonjasonjason]

This has a lot from part 2.....like 10 minutes is repeated...

[@jandaracing]

I would love to watch this but, WMG has blocked it in my country on copyright grounds.

[@MrFunkMD]

This business plan is an off-shoot of what Jamband greats Phish have accomplished....No single's, no radio play, no platinum studio record, producing and promoting their own shows, their own ticketing system and simply taking great live music to the people and letting the rest take care of itself for 30 years now. It works. It's been proven.

[@juans8351]

Subtitulos en español? alguien tiene?

[@SirBender]

0:35 what kinda camera is that? does anyone know??? i´ve searched in the internet for it but no results :(

[@BillAndersonNS]

The one downside is the first 8 minutes of this video are just a repeat of the previous video in the series. There's really no need for that because if someone is watching #3 of 3 there's a pretty good chance they'll go back and watch 1 and 2.

[@voluntariodaverdade7216]

Cadê a legenda em português 🙄?

[@maltescherenberg4179]

Whats is the Name of the Song that plays in the background around 15:00 ? Thanks!

[@RasmusAlmlundMusic]

Last kiss I believe - or something like that.

[@sb1806]

I'm likey man 800

[@1981FlyingV]

What is the name of that song at 15:06?

[@yobhsiFehT]

There's so much overlap between these parts o.O What gives?

[@imaseeker100]

so what? skip over it.

[@bluzegtr777]

I agree. They need to edit the video.

[@bluzegtr777]

imaseeker100 This is a legitimate comment. Still a great documentary.

[@jdisom]

Don Abel Go buy the DVD then if you want your video "edited" right..there is a reason they do this....maybe you could try to guess...

[@coffeewaldo]

Agree with Thomas down below.

[@badmuddy]

well, "eclectic" isn't exactly the word that comes to mind when tryin' to classify what joe does. xtc, todd rundgren, henry cow, king crimson, allan holdsworth, mahavishnu orchestra, joni mitchell, these are the kinds of artists who'd fall under that category; joe's a blues & 70's rock, meat & potatoes kinda writer/player. the only influence of his mentioned in this series so far that'd qualify for eclectic is jeff beck. but there's nuthin' wrong with bein' a current/vital blues artist in this day & age, & it's pure joy to hear jb playin' it, but there's no reason to overstate the case. u don't need to be eclectic to be great...

[@Panglos]

Agreed. Anyone who thinks Joe's musical approach is "eclectic" has a pretty narrow range. Within his range, though, Joe has mastered and incorporated virtually every style, including fingerpicking, standard "tricks" (pull-ons/offs, hammers, etc.), extreme bends, shredding, etc., and the styles of greats such as Eric Clapton and lesser-knowns like Danny Gatton, a personal friend of Joe's and tremendous player. Unlike many players, Joe isn't limited to either technical proficiency (a la Vai, Satriai, et al) or emotive playing (like the blues greats). He can do it all.

[@badmuddy]

ah, someone who got it straight away. young men get so pretzeled by another's observations of a player they deify, when MOST artistes just want to connect with the ears of strangers, know what i mean? after all, that IS the point, i'n'it...

[@verysurvival]

why does Joe never play the whale that swallowed jonah live?

[@Veaseify]

I love Joe and his music but I wonder how 'famous' he actually is? Driving Towards The Daylight I think is his most successful album and he said it sold 150,000 copies. Most casual music fans have never heard of him and if you check out his audiences its mostly old fart guitar geeks (like me). Of course he tours endlessly and plays all over the world and has a ubiquitous presence on You Tube but its not like he will be playing the Superbowl Halftime show anytime soon...

[@Veaseify]

I understand that, I just think we get a misleading impression of how big a name he is in the wider world of music..Like Doug Henthorn had never heard anything by him until he was asked to play in his band..

[@Veaseify]

***** He sold out 4 venues with a combined capacity of less than 10,000, a fair percentage of which would be the same people watching him every time. My point about Doug Henthorn is that although he was a session singer and involved in the business for a long time, he hardly knew anything about Joe. This suggests his profile is not that high within the industry. I didn't say he's 'not popular enough' - what does that even mean? I am suggesting that his incredibly loyal fanbase have an inflated idea of exactly how well known he is outside the world of guitar geekdom..

[@Veaseify]

***** Why so defensive? All I am suggesting is that he isn't as big a deal either than he should be or that his fans believe he is. In my opinion his music should be known by a much wider audience of people than it currently is. It's not uncommon to see posts re: his songs on KZbin from people who believe he's only been around for a couple of years. To me that's a crying shame and a terrible indictment of how mainstream media, including Radio stations, just ignore so many talented artists. Peace... :-)

[@Veaseify]

***** I've been to the Borderline and the Hammersmith Apollo so I know what they hold, yes I had to check the Albert Hall though! I think we are at cross purposes here, I understand that Joe just enjoys having the fanbase he does and playing all over the world without huge mainstream success, I just feel like he deserves wider recognition but like you say, if he's not bothered why should I care?

[@ljhog151]

I don't care if he plays the Super Bowl. I get to go to his concerts and listen to his music. I'm good with it.
