Norman standing there watching from behind Joe like "this guy pays my mortgage every month"

[@guitareveryone]

Cool to see Norm there. Norm seems like such a cool guy.

[@anthonyalfredyorke1621]

Stunning show, I think Norms mortgage was paid along time ago. PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤.

[@6000cs]

Notice how Kirk effortlessly keeps the rhythm during the trade-offs, plus adding his leads? Cool guy.

[@barrysmith916]

the bluesmen of the past can rest easy , the future is in good hands.

[@mikeymojo8299]

Not 1, not 2, but 3 of my favorite guitarists. heavenly 🎸👍🏼

[@ralex3697]

Yep, they are really a great generation of new blues players

[@pseudoname3159]

@@ralex3697 We're just missing the great Eric Gales and Mr. Kingfish Ingram and I'd say that list would be near completion.

[@joezappia817]

With all the problems around the world, music like this seems to make it all go away. Long live the blues , I think it is in good hands and the future is safe………..

[@TheOpinionatedGuitarist]

Mindblowingly awesome!!!

[@johnmundt7834]

Kirk and Josh are my favorite modern blues guys, but Joe had some pretty magical phrasing in this one

[@aschneider70]

the new 3 kings of american blues, right now!

Totally agree!

[@sumoblues]

much as I love these 3...they are among many others who keep the blues flames burning...Chris Cain, Greg Koch, Eric Gales, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, Matt Schofield, JD Simo, Jack Pearson, Guy King, to name but a few.

[@stpwadds]

In your opinion, not others

[@lairbag99]

@@sumoblues Thanks for mentioning Chris Cain, one of the most soulful players/singers I´ve heard ever.

[@bulzah]

i@@sumoblues I would add Gary Clark and Marcus King.

[@johnhendricks1998]

My guy Kirk Fletcher eating it up, he's sitting on those notes letting it marinate in your soul. Between the three Josh, Kirk, and Joe it's some serious melodic playing.

[@wendellburkhart2483]

Joe Bonamassas is one of the cleanest sounding player's I've ever heard. He never ceases to Blow my mind.

[@chrislloydguitarist]

Watching the joy on Norm's face brings joy to myself.

[@freddiefreeloder]

Gotta say Joe is absolutely smokin it on this tune, best I've ever heard him..

[@jclev99]

Simon Law he does sound so much warmer with that hollowbody. Should adopt full time

[@ideath173]

this is his best playing

[@PNW_Fiddle]

Kinda sounded like Chris Cain for part of that solo.

[@dolphine3120]

@@PNW_Fiddle everyone is stealing from chris cain now

2:25 Josh looking at the Marshall amp thinking "who the F*** uses this amp for a blues gig" LOL

[@DaveDexterMusic]

He's looking at it like it's a spaceship. So would I, tbh.

[@paulbuxton1326]

Lots since Clapton on the Beano Album 🎶

[@thuxta]

Never liked a tele sound through a marshall.

[@youngandrew66]

Was just about to put 'josh politely wrestles with marshall' but realised it was first point on the comments! However there is massive truth to # its all in the fingers # and all we hear is fab tone!

[@gernotboesser6901]

😂👍

[@realchadtv]

Am I the only one that prefers Kirk Fletcher and wishes he got more solos? Turn it up my man, you’re the real star!

[@disco4535]

Lol no I love Kirk...but Josh is on a completely different level. I think they go together perfectly tho

[@teaforone77]

Wow, Mr. Bonamassa's phrasing sounds very "out" and at the same time right on in this blues context. Great playing!

[@rickrolli7091]

Now that was a cool jam session. Congrats guys. You already know this but.... You Rock!!!!!

[@Juergen.Scheiblhofer]

Just sit here in Austria with bleeding fingers and try to steal some riffs... So much passion. Love it ❤

[@Motomaniac99]

God bless these absolutely amazing players for donating their time and talents to a good charitable cause! And hats off to Norm for the Promo…..🌳

[@busterakrey6659]

PLaying with these guys was very very very cool ! We're all lucky to have them out doing what they do so well.

[@gregmize01]

no! they were lucky enough to be playing with YOU!

[@jean2166]

3 of the greatest guitarist of blues

[@mavester]

I like Kirk's inclusion of some of Cliffs of Dover :)

[@freddykay1645]

And that made joe bonamossa out of idea on what to play.

[@neildavidvandenbergh5422]

Three of the baddest Dudes on the planet! 🙌

The smile ☺ on their faces says it all....all three monster guitar 🎸 slingers respecting each others licks...👍👌👏😎🎸🎸🎸

Just a room full of beasts. So damn good!

[@Itaivarochik]

Wow! All this talent in such a small space

[@guitareveryone]

This is such a cool jam to a great blues classic.

[@systemblues]

I 'm not a huge Mr Bonamassa's fan (he' s a great guitarist of course) but for this Jam, I have to admit that he' s awesome! Mr Smith is a master, every note he plays sounds so perfect. and Mr Fletcher plays so well in the pentatonic scale. This concert is a kind of a dream for any blues guitarist fan...

[@Darkwell0071]

systemblues it is hard not to like Joe the guy is so damm good.

[@bwpeters84]

3 of the best blues guitarists of the modern era on one stage. Now if only Joe and Kirk could take Josh’s cues on the trade off timing! 😂

[@ckjjclan]

Lord. Amazing.

[@MrPnew1]

Fabulous. How did I not hear about Kirk Fletcher until toady #asleeponthejob

[@notbraindead7298]

Joe never seems to get the full credit he deserves. He’s as good as the best of them and better than most.

[@erwildersr]

Guitarist you should listen to this at half speed with headphones ..... Awesome.

[@erwildersr]

I have several times and still can't figure it all out. Killer licks... Joe Bonamassa should play like this all the time....

[@lauramoore9659]

YOU ALL PLAY VERY VERY VERY WELL TOGETHER!!! & It was for SUCH A GREAT CAUSE!!!! THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!!!!!

[@bluesman70]

Wow, what a line up for a great cause.

[@jjohn341]

Absolutely love all of this, but just got to say Joe's 335 sounds absolutely killer.

[@juka421]

jjohn341 funny you say that because joes guitar tone was my least favorite. I love the pop and dry bright tone of joshs tele the most. Pretty great to hear the three play together though

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

That was a 345 actually.

[@jayceburns8246]

@@juka421 Agreed. To me: 1. Josh... 2. Kirk... 3. Joe That goes for favorite tone as well as favorite solo.

[@jayceburns8246]

It is nice to hear them all playing together, because they actually listen to each other. They aren't afraid to leave space. Usually you get 3 guitar players together and it turns to chaos.

[@Phubby]

that really came together at the end

[@petedazer3381]

Three absolutely sensational guitar players, holy smokes!

[@royhanson3335]

I saw Norm in the background. :)

[@brandonkeller478]

Joe should play more solos like that in his records

[@daniwest1370]

Man blues soloing has evolved because of guys like Josh, Kirk etc.They incorporate those nice "Jazz Bebop" phrases to the blues as transitions between pentatonic licks ( Actually Robben Ford has been doing that for many years) and man even Joe Bonamassa is doing it now. 5:27 is a great example of that. Also Guthrie Trapp does that really well!! He should Tour with these guys it would just be awesome!

[@sumoblues]

Should we add Chris Cain and Jack Pearson to that prestigious list?

[@anurupguhathakurta2913]

Yes Guthrie Trapp is one hell of a player.

[@rifftipton7709]

Great concert for a really good cause.

[@jjohn341]

Well I'm a big fender tele fan , but (dam) both the gibbons win this for me on the tone , absolutely love kirks solo .

I feel like Kirk needs to have a more punchy mid rangy tone that really bites. His chops are on par with the best but with a killer tone he could steal the show.
