Joe Bonamassa full concert live @Backroads Blues Festival 5/27/2023 in Bend Oregon

[@tymanngruter1808]

Breathtaking......

[@kjh6989]

WOW! What a kick-ass drummer.

[@mtario16]

So efficient. Solid. Good grooves. Accents on specific parts of melodies Joe is playing. Not flashy but very good fills every 4 bars or so to let the band know exactly where they are during the guitar solo. In other words, he "serves the music". I love it.

[@wildcolonialman]

Magnificent.

[@susanaskjem9623]

Joe’s my hero! I love listening to him play, sing, and dance!☮️❤️☯️

Joe, Josh, old man Reese, the band are all incredible. Jade is a star in her own right, absolutely love her voice and the way she moves. I've played an axe or two in my day. Believe me, Joe is special 😊

Neskutečný a maximální výkon všech hudebníků! Ikdyž jsem basista tak toho chlapa za klávesama tak toho zbožňuji! Hlavní aktér Joe Bonomassa .....tak o toho tu přeci jde! Fantastické představení!

[@55Sungkono]

Joe amazes me every time. He is able to give old school blues a twist that not everyone can do. He also explores other paths of blues music that mainstream blues musicians don't dare to take. His compositions and arrangements amaze me every time. He has long surpassed many common great blues legends. Well done maestro. 🤩👍🙏

[@timfoster5689]

Here’s my comment- “Freaking Awesome”

[@lawrencegallop1034]

Joes a great guitarist I have a pair of guitar dice from his website 56:18 hanging on my rearview mirror. Also got to work for a company that unloaded and loaded bands equipment for concerts heard Joe live many times.

[@frankdardano3182]

I saw this guy play a solo that was so clean and fast I dont even want to argue how amazing he is. I know what I saw.All 32nd notes,with no cheating with stock rest licks.You must remember he was raised to be a guitarist.I am 71,started at 8.blackmore was the only guy I would never follow. I am glad I dont have to worry about going on after him in my day at rock festivals you played as listed , I followed eric burdon Ike and Tina Turner canned heat etc. So when I say he is exceptional, I know what I speak of.

[@frankdardano3182]

This is not the best I have heard him, but its still good.Hard to see the band well.Just think when he has his group!!

[@oregonmud]

In attendance for this great performance from Joe and his band! Interesting note, at the end of the concert a rainbow showed up behind the audience. You can see the Jade point it out to Danni at 58:40 and then get Joe's attention at 1:02:30 where he acknowledges it. I saw the exchange between Joe and Jade and looked over my shoulder to see the rainbow. Thanks for the post Blind Ivan!

[@Blind-Ivan]

Yes! A double rainbow. I turned to catch it but it’s so late in the day that it doesn’t show up well in the video

[@jcardonnyc]

The band is every bit as tight as one has come to expect from Joe. (Also, I have never seen Jade smile so much, and Danni seems to be having the time of her life.) Bravo to all!

[@paulglancy3536]

You're new to me Joe, but my god! Tight. Someone mentioned the late great SRV1 He was something else, if only he were still here, you'd be jamming along with Satriani and Vai, and the Best of the rest. I put wee Angus Young Right up There too. Fellow Glaswegian, no of course that's not the reason why. The first two songs I'm getting SRV1 Plus your own style is brilliant! Can I marry your backing singers? No? I can accept that. Keep on Smiling! "Eat em and Smile" or "Shut up and play your geetar" Must be a buzz to do both!!
