Joe Bonamassa - "Happier Times" - Live From The Royal Albert Hall

[@56willyd]

the most underrated song in human history.

[@tomschmidt4355]

'Underrated', the most overused term in human history

Today I told my 15 years old daughter come, listen this song. She told me, oh dad leave me alone with this. C'mon I said :) She agreed with great difficulty. She listened to the song and then asked me to send it to her. In these modern ages, it's a great result. Quality never goes out of style. It's proved, Bonamassa is timeless :) Thank you Mr. Bonamassa, your music is like a breath for a drowning man.

[@lindyloo2265]

Music reminds me of times in my life. I think that's true of most of us who enjoy music. When my mother was in the throws of dementia at the end of her life when she did not know who I was, she could remember and even sing along to her favorite songs! Musics rest in a special part of our brains! My dad was a jazz Drummer. I'm sure he would have high praise for the drummers in this song.

[@jeanglenn7855]

This is truly one of the most beautiful songs ever made by a rock star ..... No one in this music genre can come close to this talented musician. 💖💖💖

[@herbchavis5068]

Thank you Joe and thank you you for the musicians around you ...

Two drummers best yet

[@stevemanchester8399]

Love the concept of having two drummers. Awesome song!

[@nemafann]

One of those songs you can't get out of your head. You just want to hear it over and over, learning every note. Only thing wrong with it is it's too short. Well done Gentlemen, well done.

[@guitarplayer6110]

This version is so unbelievably epic, every single instrument is in synergy, drums, piano, bass, guitar….and those solos are full of emotion it makes me wanna cry, both from sadness and from joy

I got misty as hell

[@mikedavies7518]

23rd October 2023. Without doubt the best ever live performance from any one. A God given talent. Mike D

[@bigschnoz]

Its a Peter Gabriel feel song with added grit and guitar, love it! Not sure why Joe isn't a household name around the world, pure class.

[@arthurquinlan3862]

I wish I could give this an extra thumbs-up every time I watch and listen to it.

[@davidculp7594]

One of the best original song ever.. the drummers get off on this one. Pannie dropper for sure..😂

[@tedfordhyde]

Hard to put into words how good this is. Just top-notch musicianship front to back. And with two drummers, LIVE no less! Just phenomenal.

[@timokeefe2126]

I get goosebumps every time I watch this performance. All are masters of their instruments. Powerful performance.

[@martinslepowronski3272]

Affects me every time I listen to this, I remember my first wife Jackie who passed on the 30th of July 2014 after 24 years of pain 😞

My beautiful daughter and I were up a little late one night. Couldn't find anything to watch and I didn't need to stay up too much longer, because I had to hit the floor early to go to work the next day. She's changing the channel and lands on our wonderful PBS CHANNEL HERE IN THE METRO- Plex.(DALLAS/FT.WORTH TEXAS)....HECK YA!!.. AND WHAT DOES OUR BLESSED TV have on for our entertainment??!!! JOE BONAMOSSA!!!... THANK YOU JESUS!! We were swept away!! To the point of dancing in front of the TV.!! ...I HAVE ALWAYS HAD MUSIC ...in my life. Rock&Roll..Blues....I loved Jimi Hendrix..way back in the 60s. He was the greatest. Then in the 80s..along came TEXAS FINEST...STEVIE RAY VAUGHN...and he was #1...but then left us all way too early. God rest his beautiful soul. 90s came along and my kids clued me in on KENNY WAYNE SHEPARD...AWESOME!! Then things went so quiet and I lost my blues. Until that night on PBS!! Thank God! ...My Soul has been replenished!! JOE BONAMOSSA is like a light sent from HEAVEN! Playing with the King(BBKING) learning from such talent!!it's just beyond belief. Prodigy... He was born to play the music from his SOUL!!.... I admire his parents, family. They are also to be commended on their efforts to see that young man fulfill his GOD GIVEN TALENT AND RUN WITH IT!! AWESOME PEOPLE THEY ARE!! Well enough of my jibber-jabber... LET'S ALL CRANK UP THE STEREO AND LISTEN TO THE GREATEST THERE HAS EVER BEEN!!... JOE ...your one of the brightest lights in my life!! Thank you so much for every note you play...and your soulful voice that gives me BALANCE IN MY LIFE!! PLAY ON YOUNG MAN!!! WE LOVE YOU DO MUCH!!🎸🎶💜

This guy is without a doubt the greatest guitarist of our time. He is so good that watching and listening to him puts me in a trance! Oh to be able to play like this.

[@MelodyMaker]

Keep practicing!

[@TheStrataminor]

Hmmm he is a great guitarist but not the greatest as there are amazing more accomplished Jazz guitarists, rock, blues, gypsy jazz and many other genres which easily keep up with Joe, who is a very good marketer too.

[@markruhlig1295]

Going to see him every chance we can

It's amazing how Joe has evolved.

[@baluja123]

As a writer, I tend to get trapped up in my own little world more often than not. For the most part, I've remained stuck inside a time warp of influences like Hendrix, Page, Trower, Santana, etc, etc, etc. It's rare that I take the opportunity to step out and discover great artists like JB. Thanks to a stranger named Chris, my narrow mind has been widened . Thanks for turning me on to Joe's exceptional talent.

[@herbchavis5068]

Simply out of this world go-joe for life...

[@bernardwesterbaan4673]

The 551 thumbs down are mad..... This guy is one of the greatest (if not the greatest) guitarist I've ever listened to.

[@ro7242]

SING GUITAR SING THIS IS WHAT MAKES JOE SO SPECIAL, HE CAN STAND ON STAGE AND GIVE A VOICE TO THAT GUITAR, WHEN HES NOT SINGING THE GUITAR DOES

I was so lucky to see him many years ago. He was on stage left and I was in a balcony on that side about 5' above the stage. Of course he's incredibly talented, however I felt his real gift was in songs like this where his guitars makes you stop and admire such harmonic beauty.

I'm a new fan and all I can say is Thank God I found Joe! As this world has become scarier and scarier I need wonderful things to take my mind off it. Last night I was just overwhelmed with sadness and knew I couldn't just go to sleep, so I sat here watching Joe's videos and felt both calmer and uplifted. Thank you, Joe, for your amazing talent. This particular video is perfection to me. Mesmerizing melody, lyrics, backup, and two gorgeous guitar solos. And oh, those drums! I love watching Joe's beautiful hands as he plays. Wonderful live performance!

[@davesgrowboxesuk7568]

Yeah! I agree, i found joe about a year ago. its been awesome. he was in my city a week or 2 ago but didn't have £90 for a ticket. WTF? Anyway, dont let life grind you down. ;)
