Joe Bonamassa Official - "Sloe Gin" - Tour de Force: Royal Albert Hall

[@andypavel]

Beautiful. And yes, that's the original Rory's Stratocaster, ladies and gentlemen.

[@leeturner2272]

What would Rory made out of an American dude in a jacket and shirt playing the blues on his guitar

[@kilhattrick]

@@leeturner2272 What about the LP that once belonged to Peter Green, now being played by Kirk Hammett?

[@leeturner2272]

@@kilhattrick Also owned by Gary Moore I believe?

[@lizarddronedude3617]

I saw Rory play it at Derby Assembly Rooms about 78 I'd guess and Joe(don't think he had it then) at Sheffield Leadmill 2008. Both will stay in my memory forever.

[@martinmcgimpsey9750]

I saw Rory Galiger play that guitar back around 1972! Of course it looked a little different then, but still sounds as good!

[@M._Lou]

My very favorite “Sloe Gin” performance is the one that Joe did at his 2009 RAH concert. Love, love, love that one!!! This is very nice, too! ❤️.¸¸.☆ Actually, I cut my “blues” teeth on that 2009 performance about 4 years ago. That’s how I learned to love the blues! Didn’t know the genre before that. Heard Joe doing “Bird on a Wire”, when KZbin kept suggesting the 2009 RAH "Sloe Gin" performance. At first listen, and for many listens after that, I wasn’t quite sure what to make of this new thing (to me), the blues…but anyone, including my super naive self, could see Joe’s guitar skill. And his singing was great, too! And so, that’s how I came to fall in love with the blues!

[@Onionbaron]

I think he felt the legacy and upped it notch!

[@shemueltannak4799]

JOE IS: UNBELIEVABLE!!! REALLY!!! A MUSICAL GENIUS!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@martinmcgimpsey9750]

I saw Rory play this guitar back in the 70’s! Looked a little different, but still sounds just as good if not better! Thank you Joe!

[@terencederover8513]

A bit jealous here mate, as a big Rory fan I'm just to young to have seen Rory perform live. But Saw Joe play multiple times and then to watch him pull out Rory's strat for Sloe gin and absolutely nailing it.. That's Special

[@yannou568]

Le son est forcément différent. Le principal élément change, le guitariste. Joe est un excellent musicien, ça c'est certain. Mais ce n'est pas rory. Rien que ça suffirait comme explication. Mais en plus, Joe rentre dans son pedalboard puis dans un marshall. Rory entrait dans un range master et un vox ac30.

[@paulofreire7520]

That’s Rory’s Strat. Very cool and great tribute. 👍🏻

[@NORMANYOUNGG]

Man i just remembered Rory playing shadow play what a great memories .

[@robertvanhoy1642]

he done Rory proud with his Guitar

[@terencederover8513]

Really love how this song sounds on Rory's guitar!!

[@rudra95a]

I can hear bad penny in certain parts. Must be something in that guitar.

[@rorylisbon4723]

A little bit of Rory lives on through Joe's covering Cradle Rock. Joe is such a great musician and his different themed tours are all awesome. I was lucky enough years ago to have seen both Joe and Rory in small clubs. 50-60 people only showed when Joe was with Kenny and Eric. What a show, equal high energy as Rockpalast.

[@lizarddronedude3617]

I have been blessed to see both Joe and Rory at smallish venues in the north of England in my many long years both are memories that we hopefully remain long times.

[@sandraritter6399]

Beautiful voice and song. Awesome!!!

[@matthigdon4809]

I don’t know why but Joe with a strat is just a vibe😂

[@jweepingcrow]

"Nobody gets out of here without singin the blues." Thank you for years of great tunes!!!! Love you!!!

[@SpikeyBoy25]

Played on Rory Gallagher's Stratocaster. Joe is one of very few worthy of playing it.

[@ahrensmith8344]

Look how changing guitar changes his playing. A lesson for kids trying to emulate heroes. The shape makes a difference and pickup types

[@TheLoner70503]

This song is about how i feel. Great Rory, great Joe.

[@stylianoscourtney6427]

Playing the Rory Strat 🙏

[@yannou568]

Un super gratteux avec une guitare mythique.

[@JeanFrédière]

I saw the guitar of Rory some years ago in Ballyshannon, maybe it got back home ? Anyway, "Sloe Gin" & "My baby sure likes gin" same pleasure, same sound, same talent ! Keep on playing Joe.....

[@sylwiaoracz8779]

So... it's true that sound comes from the fingers. You can say that you feel Rory Gallagher spirit sleeping in orphaned Strato but the sound goes straight from Joe's soul and touch. It's just fresh spirit of music.

[@Qui-GonJinn-]

this is for real, the instrument is just an tool... the sound comes from the soul and fingers.

[@danielpoursac6931]

Formidable Joe Bonamassa encore une fois magnifique solo

[@ellenlunsford6626]

I found Joe and the “blues” on his RAH concert, too. I have a lot of his DVD’s and CD’s. Crazy love his work.

[@atasoymustafa]

The only thing better than Joe Bonamassa's songs are the solos he played in his concerts.

[@christianemoor1757]

Sooo Beautiful... 🎸🎤 🎯

Sloe gin, sloe gin Tryin' to wash away the pain inside Well, I'm sick and I'm all done in And I'm standin' in the rain And I feel like I'm gonna cry I'm so damn lonely And I ain't even high I'm so damn lonely And I feel like I wanna die Mayday, Mayday I've been shot down over stormy sea Well, I feel like I'm driftin' away Can't seem to get a grip on me Now I can't even try I'm so damn lonely And ain't even high I hate to go home alone But what else is new I'm so damn lonely I hate to go home alone But what else is new I'm so damn lonely You stand there bleedin' People pass me by No matter if you live No matter if you die Sloe gin, sloe gin Tryin' to wash away the pain inside Well, I'm sick and I'm all done in I'm standin' in the rain And I feel like I'm gonna die I'm so damn lonely And ain't even high I'm so damn lonely Sloe gin, honey Baby, come and get the best of me

[@colincampbell2418]

Eric , you can hand your baton on , its in safe hands with this guy . .......😎👍

[@woka_kawanua-hw2hj]

hope this album is available on iTunes but it is not.

[@hondansx1000]

i always thought this song was written by Rory, i know it's a Tim Curry song...but damn. I loved the version with the Gold Top, but this performance gave me goosebumps

[@АлександрШахновский-н1э]

Bravo !!! Б Р А В О !!! Спасибо за Ваш талант , за Вашу музыку !!! Спасибо Богу за то ,что я вижу , слышу , ,живу...

[@justinvernal]

Joe should do something like mail him your guitar play it on his channel then send it back with a autograph

[@roma.r-p]

Mój numer 1 oraz Beth Hart , no i moje inne zespoły i muzycy , którzy są ze mną od wielu lat.

[@willet2275]

Dobry gust, Roma.

[@ankurbanerjee4332]

Tabs please 😅😅😅

[@euchrid2006]

I reckon Tim Curry would be in awe of this & would fully approve of every note & nuance.

Dedicated to Bernie!

[@davidedelia2649]

But what kind of problem do the 18 dislikes have?

[@lizarddronedude3617]

Soulless

[@vicferrari89]

Hey, I love JB but the anti-climatic nature of his style drives me nuts! Gary Moore is THE man and would never and never was anticlimactic. Let is loose and get down and dirty. JB is sometimes just toooo clean. I want grit! I want Gary Moore! R.I.P.

[@MrHaydnHarry]

So go listen to Gary Moore then

[@johnsmith-en1xv]

hate this slow version. RAH is far better.

[@lizarddronedude3617]

Don't hate it but have to agree the 2008 RAH on the Les paul beats it quite a bit.

[@cedarbay3994]

Kind of a cop of While My Guitar...
