Joe Bonamassa Official - "Sloe Gin" - Live From The Royal Albert Hall

[@stanislouse4168]

royal albert audience perfectly SILENT!!! PERFECT!!!!

[@lindsayheywood7195]

Yes! I went to see Joe play in Portland Oregon, and the audience was whistling and hooting, and totally destroying the music.

[@shaeshaddo]

every time i listen to this song, my stomach clenches. that voice. the guitar... his presence.. he's a genius

[@bozeeke]

Still his best performance of this song ever.

[@SuvradipDasPhotographyOfficial]

Eargasms everytime i listen to this, this is a masterpiece, probably came back here for over a 100 times in the last 3 months. awesome Joe, you're great

[@naomi8529]

Bonamassa on total fire, this is a Masterpiece performance ☝🏻🔥🎸🕶✌🏻

[@stucati78]

This does get better and better the more you listen to it.

[@janniechamness1076]

I hate to go home alone but what else is new.. IM SO DAMN LONELY AND I AINT EVEN HIGH❤I LOVE THIS MAN

[@FighterPilot1945]

It tugs at your heart every true emotion felt lot people ❤

[@G-MAW-9]

I feel this song to the core of my heart and soul.....

[@gracevega3633]

He is a guitar God, there i said it, the best in the world ❤❤

[@Guitar_at_Home1]

Totally agree.

[@Lew.Jeffreys]

One of the greatest guitar solos ever performed 👌🏼

[@robschaller9061]

BY FAR the best version he has yet played. For a musician, Royal Albert Hall is like getting the gig to play the SuperBowl. It is the absolute PINNICAL as a musican

[@ronhoffman7941]

its the best version of this song , but one of the greatest ever ????????

[@spumemonk11]

@@ronhoffman7941 Hard to get better?

[@noahserrao6307]

Check out the one he did at Pinkpop 2014

[@Bloozguy]

@@spumemonk11 Good is good. This isn't the Olympics. Whatever great guitar player I listen to, then that person is the greatest in the world and it's the best tune ever.... _in that moment_ I've come to realize after decades of holding a guitar in my hands, there is no sucha thing as 'best'. You reach a certain level of expertise, then they all become side-ways equal to each other. I just love a great steak...but certainly not every day. Guitar players and music is exactly the same, imho. Joe is on record as saying this solo is Gary Moore inspired...a tribute to Gary. Gary Moore was another world's greatest guitar player. The best of the best, lol.

[@Omanastylez]

To me, this was bonamassa at his best. I think his playing was the most genuine at the Royal Albert performance and seemed to be a real "guitar players" concert.

[@LoganPEade]

Hard to find the right words, absolutely moving!

[@oliverho503]

Zu geil für diese Welt ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@brennan2553]

My favorite performance of anything. I have listened to this song/version probably a thousand times.

[@M._Lou]

Me too, listened so many, many times! This is my favorite rendition! ...absolutely love it!

[@BernieTheBoxer]

If I was washed up on a desert island I could survive with just this, Happier Times from the same night and water

[@didierduplouy]

However i believe the " Red rocks " version is something better More expressing

[@SUPERSTREETMUSTANG]

Me too!

[@83roadstar]

@@didierduplouy I like the amps he's using in this performance soooo much, he changed to those wimpy Fender combos in Red Rocks, four 100 watt heads and eight EVML 12's sound so full in this performance! The power alone makes the hair stand up on your arms!

[@rafcioserferrr5723]

You can actually HEAR THE TEARS OF LONELYNESS in this SOLO. what a performance Joe. Keep it up. The guy in 4:45 also "says" it all. Fuck me... Lets stay strong all you guys reading this, I am also so damn lonely. Its gonna be okay. Dont give up. Truth is the gold.

[@--jefferson1555]

The whole concert is a masterpiece. The camera work is great too!

[@kellyshelley9309]

Just saw him in Indiana. OMG! Best concert I have ever seen.

[@Killer-Bee-FAFO]

Nice. March ‘25 for me, can’t wait !!

[@jpjones8928]

Definitely the best version that solo takes off

[@colettesutter2261]

He's phenomenal in concert! Well worth the $$

[@Killer-Bee-FAFO]

March ‘25 can’t be here soon enough.

[@poedottaviano6924]

I heard this song when out a bar tonight and for the last 4 hours I jammed away to its backing track. It's the most powerful blues song I have heard in years and gives me the chills when listening and God it's so perfect to play along with. Very few songs are this powerful to me in 50 years, and I'm so blessed to have found this masterpiece.

[@galesummers2704]

I love his incredible talent along with his talented band. ❤️ I have over 50 hours of JoeB in my library - I just immerse myself in his talent!! So lucky to live in his awesome life of music and touring for his fans. He truly outdoes himself with each performance.❤️🎸🎙️😎👏🤗

[@FighterPilot1945]

Perfectly ohrased guitar solo full power soul emotion spirit attack beautifully performed by joe🎉

[@damianjastrzebski5813]

This is unreal!!!!

[@thomaslloyd9993]

Every generation has its Greats, he is by far the greatest of mine ❤️❤️

[@jeffames8212]

I'm a 59 model and I think that given the great artist from my era he is the best

[@rishubhchakraborty4963]

Joe - you're going to be remembered just like how Clapton and other Gods are remembered. I started with doubts about your music and couldn't stand my ground in front of your brilliance for more than a song!

[@bobmerlington1330]

I will take Joe over Clapton. So wonderful

[@ethelynsmyley7381]

Someone came along to bring back the blues, how did this just happen? Just came along and there it is!WOW!

[@chrislegate5894]

I do believe that Joe Bonamassa is the greatest gutarist the world has ever known sometimes I think I hear words coming from the strings when he plays there is no distortion and every note is crisp and clear absolutely amazing and its really sad that he isn't on every radio station

[@batphink2655]

This is the one song that got me into Joe's playing and music! So much feeling and melody gotta love it and atmosphere which is what I'm all about!

[@medaner1974]

This version is the stairway to heaven of this century....

[@BernieTheBoxer]

This and Happier Times on the same evening - he has never surpassed them.

[@MrTexasDan]

@@BernieTheBoxer Love the version of Mountain Time from this same evening. Magical.

[@M._Lou]

I agree with what everyone is saying here. Joe’s 2009 RAH concert is my very most favorite concert of all time. Can’t say enough good things about it! Every song and performance is superb, plus we get to enjoy Eric Clapton on guitar and Paul Jones on harmonica, plus all Joe's top-of-the-line band members. ...love Sloe Gin, Mountain Time, Happier Times, as others here mention…as well as Asking Around for You, John Henry, Django, Last Kiss, Just Got Paid in tandem with Dazed and Confused, Blues Deluxe, and absolutely all the performances at that concert! It was MAGNIFICENT!

[@M._Lou]

Woke Up Dreaming...from this same concert…that’s when I realized Joe is one of the GREATS!!!

[@medaner1974]

@@M._Lou very well said!!! Joe is a phenomenal player and we are lucky to admire him from his first steps untii now!!

[@shaeshaddo]

this songgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@NadiaLidiaVanini]

Joe mi piace perché la sua musica a volte ha un ritmo lento, misurato e tranquillo. Poi si agita e si infiamma e si scatenano i fuochi d’artificio ❤❤❤

[@georgvoros6152]

Awesome performance from everyone. Joe of course kills it but the bass player is absolutely superb as well.

[@rockycobb1785]

Just a wonderful song. Makes me tear up. This is the BEST version. R.C.

[@sbh1311]

I am currently in JAPAN , far away from the comfort and familiarity of home , far away from my dogs…and very conscious of the void left by my best friend, my beloved wife….so this incredible song and the passion behind the delivery …made me feel …it was written and performed for me…it’s so very real

[@supadupahilton6848]

Drummer is next level. Guitar sounds just likePeter Frampton 😊. Really killer band.

[@adrianakeeton7664]

My sister’s nickname was Dino throughout high school. Dino Deblazio was her guitar mentor and she took his name. This song reminds me of her. Love you, Adeana. ~Adriana

[@billfrydas2250]

What a song!!!! What a feeling!!!! What a sound!!!! What an incredible Joe with his amazing band. Feel lucky to see him live in Greece!!!!

[@ethelynsmyley7381]

The Best! Like an old throw back!✨👌🏽🌟

[@jessiecoulter5007]

Always start my Joe Bonamaasa with my favorite song and this version ... ❤❤❤

[@justslav1]

Apff Joe is playing the soul out of that guitar .... and it pains me to see that only few out of the public are really enjoying and living in that moment...

[@tomsawyer2112]

At least they give him attention, I hate seeing people talk to each other when a player gives it all. It's so disrespectful. But you have to be a player yourself to really enjoy what he is doing in the most perfect way.

[@jameswilliam8287]

Its just because they are middle aged British people

[@verahes]

I listen to this Song when Joe was in The Netherlands Groningen, this perfect Song stole my Heart.

[@Doyle-Nutbush]

By far the greatest hit ever played by Joe IMHO !!

When I’ve been jamming to this over the years. I know as of now I hadn’t seen this version. I kick myself for not going to see him when he was in my city in New Zealand. I don’t know why I missed it

[@angruzia]

At minute 5;00 start the music of other universo. Absolutely impressed

[@3rdtonefromthesun]

This version has THE best solo in it.

That drummer. He's incredible. Listen in full, but watch when he's on video and listen. Kaboom. That gent is first class. I'll get back to my gin but, now to find his name.

He apparently has his amps on full, and you can hear that in the clarity of his sound. He said this was influenced by British guitarists like Clapton, Beck and Page. What a glorious sound.

[@vickiroman189]

Yes, "glorious" is the absolute perfect word.

[@rickcole1336]

All his production is The Best.

[@robertodelubian6473]

B.B.king

[@gutterdandy9173]

Dick Wagner played the great guitar on Tim Curry and Bob Ezrin's original "Sloe Gin." Wagner was best known for his duets with Steve Hunter on Lou Reed's Rock and Roll Animal and Lou Reed Live albums. Then Alice Cooper "stole" Lou's band for his own solo debut, Welcome To My Nightmare. Wagner is an all-time great -- he played with his MIchigan band The Frost, Lou Reed, Alice Cooper, and Tim Curry among others. Check out Bonamassa's cover of "No Love On The Street" that was written by Wagner and Curry. Similar vibe to "Sloe Gin."

[@randyroberts4239]

He runs a pretty elaborate rig. Multiple amps including ridiculously expensive Dumbles. As well as, Marshalls and Fenders. A rack of old Les Pauls worth a king's ransom. He is not afraid to take the good stuff on the road! He places baffling in front of most of the amps because he does indeed run them hot! And yes, his tone is eargasmic.

[@jimmylove3577]
