Joe Bonamassa - The Heart That Never Waits (REACTION!)

[@tonyortiz15]

Love that Joe reached out. We need more Blues on the channel for sure!

[@SonicImmersion_]

Thumbs up to more blues songs on this channel. Kenny Wayne Shepherd - "Blue On Black" is an excellent track for example. It is similar in some aspects to some of Joe Bonamassa's work, but epic all on its own.

[@justaguy328]

@@SonicImmersion_ What do you think of them reviewing his instrumental "While We Cry"?

[@Chris-kj7de]

Live at the Greek Theater, Joe Bonamassa with his fantastic background singers, and amazing band doing "Going Down" will blow your minds.

[@terrymtbnurse4760]

Joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart "I'd rather go blind" Live in Amsterdam is an ABSOLUTE MUST. Love the channel guys.

[@dorianstarkey1993]

Beth Hart and Bonamassa together are a must!!!

I can't agree with you more! Do some Beth and Joe!!!

[@danielspensieri1822]

Yeeees! A change is gonna come or I love you more than you'll know live at the echoplex are hands down the best live performances I've ever seen! Also Joe Bonamassa with Black Country Communion is also a must listen to

[@insulani]

Agree. Unbelievable talent she is. Very popular in my home country the Netherlands

[@rolliebrewer530]

Beth H & Joe B: I'll take care of you. Live at the beacon theater

I'll take care of you would be my suggestion

[@Marco-vw3mv]

I second all the Beth and Joe recommendations. Black Coffee, Strange Fruit, I'll take care of you, etc. Great stuff.

[@davegawel3944]

Black Coffee by Humble Pie is a must see.

[@davidemerson1117]

Y'all love Chris Stapleton, so you need to hear the 'Female' version, Beth Hart! Joe and Beth together should be your next REACTION! 🔥

[@xkmmx2132]

You guys have officially made my heart happy!!! You guys are really getting down to some guitar nerd shit now I love it. Been playing guitar for 25 years and Joe changed the way pentatonics sounded to me.

[@jimreedy1960]

Joe and Beth Hart doing I'd Rather Go Blind is one of the best blues songs ever recorded. Get the Live in Amsterdam version.

[@frankmarinucci9782]

Sweet baby Jesus… it took Joe B’s team reaching out to you….? Anyway, y’all know I’ve been all over you about Joe. Screw the poll, if you want to experience greatness, listen to Joe Bonamassa and Beth Hart live from the Beacon Theater, I’ll take care of you. Please do the video, it’s a must!!!!

[@DocThunderfoot]

Joe at the Royal Albert Hall in London: One of the best concert recordings ever! Period.

[@Elricmedia19731]

You should check out a side project Joe played on called Black Country Communion. It's a little more hard rockin'. Other members of BCC include Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple), Jason Bonham (son of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham), and Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater). The track I'd pick is "The Great Divide."

[@toddboyle1716]

Yes! And other great BCC tracks include The Outsider & Afterglow.

[@timdavis6091]

My personal favorite is the live version of "Beggarman" from the "Live Over Europe" video.

[@danielspensieri1822]

Vocals on The Circle are also worth a good listen

[@chrisyates326]

Good pull.

[@DAMHoo]

Black Country Communion is absolutely a killer band. Glen Hughes is a superb singer

[@gregorykostidis9446]

[@nathangleed2790]

If you want more of Joe, I recommend the whole album "The Ballard of John Henry" (or the live album Live From the Royal Albert Hall)

[@roymoore3156]

My experience tells me each album since the Royal Albert Hall shows has gotten better than the one before, and now he’s on the top!!!

[@jeffs.5409]

Joe Bonamassa's Blues Deluxe! A true blues song and amazing guitar!

[@joshuaengle5591]

You guys have to watch Joe Bonamassa and Eric Gales live play "John Henry". Its one of the greatest guitar battles I've ever seen. Eric plays his guitar upside down. So the thinnest string is on the top. Its incredible to see him matching Joe but playing everything upside down. It would blow your guys' mind. I'm telling you. You'll also be able to see what Joe can really do. It's one thing to hear it. It's a whole other thing to see it in action. He goes off.

[@conradnoronha929]

John Henry is a song they need to do. What a great song!

[@MostlyElectrolytes]

Been telling these guys for years to check out Eric Gales and Rival Sons. Both are right up their alley.

[@mikeg.9238]

I saw that video , you're right it's amazing!

[@jeffk2526]

THANK YOU! Before I started reading the comments, "John Henry" was one of the first songs to come to mind. I have been an Eric Gales fan(who Joe actually says is the world's greatest blues guitarist) since his first album around 1990. I've seen both of them in concert and they are both amazing! Oh Beautiful live is another great Smokin' Joe song!

[@brezz6759]

YES I’m happy for y’all getting sponsored for this I’ll for sure check this out for y’all

[@amirebrahiminasab9403]

Gary Moore any song honestly Another Legend R.I.P

[@frankmarinucci9782]

It’s criminal that the only people that know about Gary Moore are either musicians or people with a deep appreciation for music. Gary is known for incredible sustain but could shred with the best out there.

[@beng1137]

Separate Ways Live in London 1992 would be good

[@teeman8999]

Joe Bonamassa? Are you kidding me? Now you guys are getting close to my area "New Orleans". I've seen him in concert so many times. Thank you for this guys. Have a great day.

[@rickallen2421]

Agree with Dorian. Suggest their live version from Amsterdam of "I'd Rather Go Blind", cover of Etta James song. You'll hear some Joe that gave me a deeper appreciation for his skill. Been to 5 of his concerts and have to say he's one of my favorite live blues performers. Now Beth Hart's voice will simply blow your socks off with her range, feel for the song's lyrics that get translated deeply, soulfully, genuinely. Love to see you react to this one.

[@cherylbrown3366]

I just saw his concert in Indy, Friday night. It was a great show

[@jeffk2526]

Joe is from Central New York, where I live so I have known about him since the late 80's early 90s. In Syracuse we had an event called Party In The Plaza downtown every Wednesday in the summer and it always had live music. I actually saw Joe when he played it around 13 or 14 years of age and he blew us away! I met him after the show and he signed a dollar bill for me, which I inadvertently used on filling up my gas tank later that night lol. I saw him again in Syracuse about 3 years ago and he is still in peak form.

[@timflim4149]

thanks for mixing it up. hope you get to see phish at the MGM this weekend. happy b-day, george.

[@JonShawVids]

Sloe Gin is one of my favorites of his and also redemption! He is awesome!

[@epprevailed]

Song of yesterday is phenomenal by Black Country communion Joe Bonamassa's side project!

[@sprinterproductionshd3061]

[@bfernuttz3737]

I saw Joe a couple of years back and it was an awesome show! No opener - he started with an acoustic set that was amazing, then he came out electric and tore the roof off of the joint! If you get a chance, you really need to see him live. I’ll echo others - you need to check out him and Beth Hart. She is amazing and they flow together!

[@juliasanchez9055]

I never get tired of joe and I love/can't believe how much work he puts out every year. I'm tired of legends dying lately, hopefully he lives to be 80 at least

[@ScanDaled]

From the same album Time Clocks check out Questions and Answers. Joe Bonamassa first class all the way!!!! The whole album is AWESOME!!!

[@raytull3922]

You really should check out "Sloe Gin", "Blue & Evil", "Midnight Blues (Live at the Beacon Theater)", "Stone Cold (with Jimmy Barnes)" and of course "I'd Rather Go Blind (live in Amsterdam with Beth Hart)". Joe B is AMAZING!

[@guzzardin]

Been waiting for this! 👍🏼

[@thebullgoose6099]

And, hey, check out the backing singer that Joe has taken on the road this tour: Dannielle DeAndrea. She could sing the chrome off a bumper bar and leave it in a shimmering, molten pool while you shake your head in disbelief. And her partner, Jade McRae, gets up to similar tricks. Both Aussies. Talk about value-adding.

Got tickets for Joe for November 22. Looking forward to it. Saw him a few years ago at Radio City. What a show and what a guitar player.

[@Ninang363]

At a live show of Joe Bonamassa on Long Island NY Joe was ripping this great solo on his version of Led Zeppelin's "How Many More Times" and he brought it down real low, the crowd was intently listening, suddenly from across the auditorium some dude yells..."Aye!, Yo!, Joey Bag-O-Donuts!". The whole crowd tried not to laugh but sorta snickered a bit. You could see Joe heard it and was struggling not to laugh along with the audience. True professional he held it together and moved on...still one of the funniest concert moments I have experienced

[@djezek7]

If you're looking for other ones by Joe, try Woke Up Dreaming (get a live version, if you can) and Asking Around For You.

[@roymoore3156]

Joe has been singing better and better every album. He’s reaching galactic status. He also has one of the best bands playing today. Check out hi work with the Australian legend Jimmy Barnes. You want soul and blues? That’s it I guarantee!! Plus Jimmy’s daughter Mahalia Barnes is one of his background singers. She’s fire. She recorded “Riding with the Kings” w/Joe Bonamassa. After you listen to her and her dad, you will look into the GREAT Australian music and musicians. One will lead to the next, and before long you’ll be hooked!

[@patdumont532]

THIS GUY SHREDS

[@DjDarkD]

There is only one thing wrong about Joe Bonamassa, which is probably not even his fault.. His shows are crazy expensive making it impossible for my dad and I to go back a second time. Seen him play once (blown away of course). Sloe Gin is my personal favorite.

[@edbluez99]

He plays here in St Louis tomorrow. I've seen Clapton, SRV and would like to have completed the trifecta, but can't make it to his show.

[@chrisyates326]

Yeah his shows are kinda expensive. Not sure if it’s cause he’s independent or what. Wife got me tickets for my b-day a couple years ago but I won’t pay that much again.

[@BeantownToBigD]

@@chrisyates326 Yes, Joe is 100% independent and he takes on all of the risk when touring. He explains everything in a fascinating interview on Cory Wong's podcast.

[@justaguy328]

Joe is one of the most technically proficient guitarists on the planet! You'll never "not be" impressed watching/hearing him play!

[@kellicouch5883]

Joe Bonamassa is hardly new to the scene. Guitar aficionados have known of him for many years. I'm not sure why he's not more "mainstream." Perhaps it's because rock/blues radio is a thing of the past? In any case, he's a phenomenal musician. All the "greats" know Joe. I think that Joe never sought fame. He's in it for the love of music. Period. That may be why he's been "under the radar" so to speak. But, do yourselves a favor George and Ryan, give him a good listen. You'll be pleased. May I suggest you check out "Song of Yesterday" by Black Country Communion? That's Joe's former band. Phenomenal song! Joe is NOT the vocalist on that track though. Just listen to his guitar sing. Talk about emotion. Great video guys! Thanks!

[@JaredKress]

My Joe Bonamassa jam has always been, and will always be "the ballad of John Henry."

[@beng1137]

You guys need to react to some Joe Satriani, one of the best guitarists ever. "Made of Tears" live from Satriani Live is one of the best live guitar performances ever.

[@gregorymobley4726]

Y'all need to react to "Stop", "Sloe Gin", "Pain and Sorrow", and "New Coat of Paint" by Joe Bonamassa next. That'll get your feet wet with him. He is an EXTREMELY talented and overlooked artist, and my opinion, the greatest guitarist of all time. Definitely do some more reactions to his music. You'll enjoy the epic rabbit hole.

[@cletushouse906]

At some point in every song, Joe will cut loose. The guy is a master.

[@craigsdaddy]

For me Joe Bonamassa’s Sloe Gin is one of the greatest songs ever

[@Matt..G]

Totally agree! The whole Sloe Gin album is incredible. That era has more of an edge and less polished feel to it imo.
