[@56willyd]

the most underrated song in human history.

[@arthurquinlan3862]

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

[@alanmerritt860]

The drumming on this song is awesome.

[@danrue3263]

Two drummers best yet

[@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 ...

Totally Agree

[@liannespaan7761]

Joe is the best ❤.

[@007madeagle]

I concur but many folks don't even know who he is .. I can't believe it . .he has become one of music's very best !

[@user-ex4le9lf3d]

Thank God for Joe Bonamassa!!!

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.

[@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.

[@debbieholmgren889]

Do it again: Happier Times.

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.

[@davidmarlow3010]

One of my favorite live preformances. He doesn't miss.

[@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.

[@franktindall3016]

Truly one of the greatest guitarists of all time.....🤘🤘🤘😎😎😎

[@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 love him! I hope one day to see him in person! His music touches my soul!!

[@alanmcwilliams8549]

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.

[@johnnyvasquez6544]

I have have seen him 4 times never been disappointed

[@georgeestremera1464]

Absolutely one of my favorite JB songs. Incredibly sad, but beautiful

I was born in the Year of the Snake, and this comment really hits home for me! Joe's passion for his music is what does it. I love these duel drums so much, I'm adding another drummer to my own set (I sing Christian Country / Blues) My band better be paying close attention to Joe's band, because I love it!!!

[@user-hd1qx2bd1r]

Joe is in a class by himself, just when you think he couldn't get any better, he does, sublime Joe, just sublime.

[@14moon85]

We used to call bands tight when they were good, well Joe is all of that and then some........ He plays a hell of an ax, his music is very versatile, what a voice and what a Showman and what a tight band......... And I am a blues lover, thanks for what you do Joe Nobody Does it Better. !!!

Try Warren Haynes album "Man in Motion". Incredible.

[@user-hd1qx2bd1r]

[@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.

[@bernardwesterbaan4673]

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

[@melaniegoolsby2717]

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!!🎸🎶💜

[@learpilot7459]

Seen so many big names live...Metallica, Van Halen, BB King, Buddy Guy, among countless others. Saw Joe play last Dec in Tucson, and it was the literally the best show I have ever seen. Not only did he sound better live than on record, but the quality of his production was top notch as well!

[@ericboice7623]

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.

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!

I went on to KZbin and found so many great videos and the 60 Minutes interview from the 1980's when he was just 12 or 13. I was amazed and became a total blues fan due to Joe Bonamassa. I was fortunate to catch him in concert back in Nov 2018 in Tucson which was such an experience. Like others on this page I could and do listen to Joe all day.

[@sleepwalker103]

What can I say to express how I feel about Joe Bonamassa? His awesome talent with such a beautiful voice, and the way he makes a guitar speak just reaches inside of you the way very few have the ability to do... Joe has a special quality about him that is very deep. He is golden... he is unique.

To give us all music that we can 'taste' is a beautiful thing. Thank you Joe B. for your gift to us... The Best... I saw Eric's eyes at Albert Hall ... I think he would agree... I would love to hear you and Orianthi play and sing together.... Thanks for the music Joe B.!!!
