Joe Bonamassa - "Sloe Gin" (Muddy Wolf at Red Rocks) I Singer Reacts I

[@vincentnicoletti]

He is just a f ing incredible guitar player and singer simply awesome

[@keith6485]

Joe's body of work is awesome. The pure talent he possesses is on display with every performance. I have seen him live 4 times, and each time is such a wonderful experience. And everyone on stage with him is world class. This band includes Antone Fig on drums, a 20 year veteran of Paul Schafer's Late Night Band. The bassist here is the late Michael Rhodes, "The most recorded bassist in Nashville history." The keyboard player is the legendary Reese Wynans, formerly of Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble fame. Absolutely anyone who is on stage with Joe is at the top of their class.

[@davidscroggins7728]

More from Joe. You cant go wrong. Like Beth and Joe. Ill take care of you. I'd rather go blind. Midnight Blues. and so many more. Until next time, stay well and poppin for fresh

[@Ray.H1564]

Joe is one of the best and you really need to check out more of his music you haven't seen or heard anything yet

[@rayblandford3702]

joe has some of the most awesome blues-rock around and he has a lot to choose from

[@RobertHollander]

It's a treat to find a young person like you who is able to appreciate REAL music. It's interesting that you performed a vocal analysis on him. I'm a guitarist (blues/rock) who has been following Joe Bonamassa since the beginning of his career. Whenever I think of his music, I think in terms of him being the “number one blues guitarist in the world.” (John Mayer being a close second, just behind Joe). And in passing I think, “He also sings pretty well.” So it's interesting to see somebody approaching him as a vocalist first and a guitarist second. I encourage you to do more of his work. He has some really incredible stuff plus he has some amazing collaborations with Beth Hart. If you've never heard of Beth Hart, she's the reincarnation of Janis Joplin and more. Thank you for this great video of yours.

[@glennelfmann3143]

He played with B.B. King when he was 12 years old

[@musicguy694]

He was 13 I believe

[@DYLDO5000]

11

[@ShadysMyCat]

No he toured with him his 12 year during the summer.

[@timothynelms2683]

Joe started playing at age 4 and was opening for B.B King at age 12. I consider him to be one of the greatest guitarist of all time, his notes are so clear .

[@jeffmelnick1332]

The ckicka,chicka bass you heard was the Drummer playing double bass. P.s. Joe Schreds the emotions at the end. You're unique. First watch of you. Keep growing, your respecting the craft. ❤ Peace & Strength to your journeys

[@Michael.A-816]

One of the greatest guitar players of all time in my opinion. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him live.

[@DalilahR]

RAYACTIONS: This is the first reaction video of yours that I've watched. EXCELLENT! I've been listening a lot to Joe Bonamassa for 10 years. He's incredibly versatile and has a HUGE body of work. Especially notable is his collaboration with singer Jimmy Barnes on "Stone Cold" and singer Beth Hart on "I'd Rather Go Blind." Don't forget to enjoy the performances, as well as analyzing them. If you value the emotional impact as the most important aspect of the music, Joe is, arguably, the greatest living blues guitarist - but you have to hear a lot more of it to realize it. Do more Joe Bonamassa reaction videos & I'll watch them multiple times. In any event, I really like you & this reaction video. Good work.

[@Chucktsar54]

He is your American talent and a lot of you may never of heard of him GOAT

[@YonkoLalev]

Very beautiful! The whole band is playing marvelous. 🎉

[@jonnno243]

Wonderful, as always. I also love the version that Chantel McGregor performs.

[@Randombullshit100]

They guy on the pin on his guitar strap is Principal Skinner from The Simpons! Long story short that guitar is a very expensive and sought after 1959 Gibson Les Paul "Burst" sold through Skinner auctions, known as the "Skinner Burst", but Joe gave it the nickname Principal Skinner hence the pin!

[@georgebliss5134]

The pin was a gift from a very loyal fan.

[@stevejordan9567]

That guitar is worth about as much as my house. And he has several. Good for Joe.

[@majnun3]

Joe is one of the best. You should check out Joe and Beth Hart doing Etta James' classic I'd Rather Go Blind.. Simply one of the best performances ever filmed

[@lamarcarter100]

He did a show at royal Albert hall that's really good 💯

[@davidscroggins7728]

Thank you ! More Joe please !!!

[@myownchannel247]

Reese Wynans on keyboards, he was also part of Double Trouble, Stevie Ray Vaughan’s backing band 🔥

[@stevehitchcock2239]

His band is a bunch of hired assassins

[@jeromel-g7051]

PS. Joe bonamassa is a virtuoso, he started his career at like 15-16 years old ? He was invited by a lot of blues legends to play with them and it started his career. He's probly like top 10 greatest guitar players. For sure top 5 in blues

[@Megadeth1921]

I believe he was 12 or 13 the first time he opened for B.B. King. He could only play on the weekends because the other nights were school nights and his mother wouldn’t let him play on school nights

[@ShadysMyCat]

His first official gig was at 11. He started playing at 4. He opened for BBKing the whole summer when he was 12.

[@stevejordan9567]

I was at that show at red rocks. I took my 82 year old dad to the show. It was awesome.

[@hugokappes4077]

I saw him in Auckland, I hope he comes back to New Zealand soon, , we have been working on a couple of the songs from the red rocks show,, what a great concert,,

[@MichaelBlackburn-n1y]

You did it again Magic Woman you just found another artist that I want to hear more of I'm going to have to add to my playlist and explore many of these people recently that you brought to my attention

[@DaveKing-f2r]

Playing the most sought after electric guitar in history....too cool

[@boroblueyes]

I wonder how close the serial numbers are to Duane's and Derek's Gold top guitars.

[@rogerrowles8702]

FYI: The Best Living Keyboard/Piano PlAYER ,Since Jon Lord Did, REECE WYNANS ( Formerly Of SRV & Double Trouble, of Course..) 😎 🎸 🔊🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶 😁 ☝😝 😉

[@anthonypanepinto9685]

Checkout Beth & Joe " I'd Rather Go Blind" Live in Amsterdam

[@kevinfitzpatrick8532]

Have seen Joe live a couple times, the last time in August, puts on a great show. 🎶🎸👍

[@GunnerSG]

The organ/keyboard player is blues Monarchy - Reese was SRV's organ/keyboardist while he was still w us RIP !!! You need to do yourself a favor and also check out Black Country Communion which is Joe w/ the amazing Glenn Hughes, Jason Bonham and Derek Sherinian "Song of Yesterday" is a must Rachael !!!!

[@gregnewman9141]

I grew up in Denver, one of my favorite views is Denver city lights over the top of the stage when attending concerts at Red Rocks Amphitheater

[@ShadysMyCat]

He started playing at 4. He always has long solos and it's not always the same. Joe is a Master! You need to watch some more. He has 28#1 blues albums. Check out "I'll take care of you" beacon theater and "prisoner" "last Matador of Bayonne" at Live at the Hollywood Bowl. Joe has had an amazing career first paying gig at 11. Opened 20 shows for BBKing the summer he was 12. Had a band called Bloodline from 14-18. Solo career 20 til now. So he's had a tremendous career of 36yrs and still going strong. ❤

[@patrickvanovermeeren4513]

Personification of The Blues !!!

[@ShadysMyCat]

Oh man do you have a rabbit hole to fall down. He just scared his 28th#1 blues album. Joe always ends the songs with a tiny solo. He improvises all the time. He has always had bands that are there to be a band. They always listen to each other and there's space for each. Joe has been playing since 4 and doesn't remember a time he didn't have a guitar in his hands. He can make a guitar sing, wail all the above.

[@iron_rush_theater1246]

Seen Joe live three times. It's always a great show!

[@simonjodet7308]

You absolutely have to react to "Ole Time Religion" - Live At The Greek Theatre from him. The backup singers are gonna blow your mind!!!!

[@DrPaul-xf4no]

Also check out another song from this concert "double trouble" & "cant be satisfied" joe is awesome thru the whole concert but those are definitely worth reacting to. Also you should react to Joe Bonamassa- live at the Greek Theatre "boogie woogie woman" its a toe tapper 😊 ❤

[@cletushouse906]

Welcome to Bonamassa World. Now check out Going Down from LIVE AT THE GREEK THEATER.

[@Megadeth1921]

Joe Bonamassa is an incredible blues/rock guitar player. I suggest any video from the live at the Greek Theater, The Three Kings Tour. Every song is incredible. And The Three Kings are BB King, Albert King, and Freddy King. Three of the greatest blues men ever. There is an endless amount of Joe Bonamassa music to go through.

[@boroblueyes]

If you react to "I'd Rather Go Blind" with Beth Hart, you will be hooked. Another favorite of mine is "The Ballad of John Henry". And "Dust Bowl"... you'll love them.

[@boroblueyes]

All great recommendations.

[@davidcandelaria4411]

The double bass sound is both bass and bass drum....saw JB in August.....one of the best concerts I have ever seen...he is the master

[@gregnewman9141]

If you're new to Joe, you have to check out " Midnight Blues " live at the Royal Albert Hall

[@Aussiecris214]

Wow G'day lovely lady great react ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@boroblueyes]

Joe doesn't have a great voice that will blow you away with it's range and control, but he has a great rock and roll voice. I think he's improved a lot over the years because of Beth and all of the other great singers he's had around him.

[@SteveCooley-w3y]

Within the framework of the tune, all the little licks and solos are improvised. Never exactly the same.

[@hugokappes4077]

yes both live and on recordings, Joe just plays,, I do the same but not nearly as good,, close your eyes and listen and play,,

[@dalejohnson2047]

One of his projects that people never talk about is the the super group Black Country Communion whit Jason bonham,Glenn Hughes and Derrick Sherrinian which sounds like bad company and Led Zeppelin mixed with some deep purple

[@rogerrowles8702]

"Insight Is Both A Gift And A Curse" , & Truth Is Powerful Stuff"... 😎 🎶 😁🖖

[@kellykonoske91]

Mr Reese Wynant on keyboards. He was previously with Stevie Ray Vaughn.

[@friendsmakingmusic1751]

Another rabbit hole you need to go down is the keyboard players old boss Stevie Ray Vaughan! SRV's version of "Texas Flood" Live at El mocambo will blow your mind!

[@vanessarupe2039]

Welcome to the rabbit hole. Dive deeper. He’s phenomenal.

[@musicguy694]

Got to hear Joe Bonamassa at The Double Door Inn Charlotte North Carolina

[@ShadysMyCat]

He's coming to Greensboro in March '25.

[@musicguy694]

@ShadysMyCat Thanks hope you go to his concert

[@hugokappes4077]

Joe improvises all his leads, both live and on recordings,,,

[@Nugget28]

I have some Australian suggestions for you, I think you will like them. Joe Bonamassa with Jimmy Barnes-STONE COLD Jimmy Barnes with John Farnham-When Something Is Wrong With My Baby (Live version) John Farnham with The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra-Help,one of the best performances you will ever see Kasey Chambers-Lose Yourself (Cover of Eminem classic) Love your work ❤

[@davel3541]

[@davidcandelaria4411]

Saw JB in August here...he's is the master!!!!

[@franciscomenano]

❤❤❤

[@cooganmiddlebrook8716]

Hey, nice channel and video! Can I recommend If Heartaches were Nickels Live at the Hollywood Bowl, also performed by Joe Bonamassa and featuring vocals by Jade McRae. If you're a fan of powerful blues vocals, this is the one to watch!

[@MichaelBlackburn-n1y]

Magic Woman I know it and I hear every bit of it cuz I feel it many times what he singing about I'm sure you do too but I always try to remember in my heart that I don't ever let it stop me we're trying to bring a smile to other people's faces just because nobody can care what I feel doesn't mean I should stop caring what others feel it doesn't matter if anyone cares about me what I care about them what I want to bring to them it's time for me to get myself together Magic Woman thank you again

[@mrwhompass1986]

Sick solo.

[@justitia257]

Very nice

[@acedawg278]

It's not the BASS GUITAR, it's the Drummer on the DOUBLE BASS DRUM

[@jamesmcmillan7845]

Is that Reese on the organ?

[@boroblueyes]

It is.

[@hoorakk624]

i love u raya

[@davidscroggins7728]

That was the drums making that sound you were talking about

[@louiegomez3466]

JB is Killer!! Try live vid of "Minds Eye", "Midnight Blues" or "Mountain Time", "Redemption"

[@NathanPerez24]

🖤🖤🖤

[@jimreedy1960]

Some is written for the other musicians. Joe doesn't read music...he plays by ear. He must be one of the best guitarists in the world. He has done some duets with Beth Hart that are worth watching as well.

[@vincentnicoletti]

Can you play some Clapton? Old love 24 nights live royal albert hall,it’s just incredible

[@thechemistofdiscord9568]

Playing a classic burst, worth as much as a nice house

[@duanewelsh5611]

Check out Joe with Beth Hart " I'll take care of you"

[@danielwilliams6952]

This is nothing, keep going down the Joe bonamassa rabbit hole... The best thing that has happened to the guitar world since Stevie Ray Vaughan . May I suggest Beth Hart and Joe bonamassa " I love you more than you'll ever know"

[@kenrock8692]

best version is from Live at the royal albert hall

[@michaeldinsen7641]

Reese kills the keys

[@andreasjohansson1990]

"Guitar breakdown" - what? xD

[@justitia257]

Tutto ok Rachel?

[@carlwilliams6977]

Please be selective with the interruptions! You talked over his solo to comment about an image on on his guitar strap??! Make a note and save it for the end. At the very least, pause it, or rewind it!
