Great show but one song I was hoping to be played but was not: The Traveller (Strange Beautiful Music), in my opinion, one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Having said that, Joe displayed his unsurpassed artistic ability and has raised the bar once again. Good luck on the remainder of the tour. p.s. Galen Hansen- Lubbock is rooting for you (MHS Class of 1985).

WOW... unbelievable show. I went there to see Joe and I didn't care how good the sound was just to listen, watch and be in awe of his talent. I've been a fan for 14 years and this was my first chance to see him live. I was not disappointed. My favorite Joe song is "Always with Me, Always with You" and it really touched my heart. I discovered that song during a very difficult time in my life and the way Joe makes the guitar talk and show emotion in that song really hit a tone with me at that time. To hear it live made me well up with tears. I loved Midnight, Friends, Satch Boogie, Cool #9 and Summer Song! Joe's on a level of no peers!!! Truly amazing.

I had a Dream Theater CD from years past. Really liked their energy! Songs seemed to go on forever but that is the style. John and Mike were unbelievable! John ripping the frets in his own way.

It was the first time I had seen King's X but I liked a few of their songs from years past. With the guys having roots in the Houston area it always does my heart good to see local guys do well... even if they are originally from the Jackson area. Ty's son is friends with my son's college room mate. The room mate got backstage passes but we still got to meet Ty and Doug at the busses. By the way... the film crew that Joe mentioned while he was cooling down before midnight was really the college room mate with his digital camera and Ty Tabor from King's X... they were sitting on the floor in the pit area. Too funny!!! My son, a aspiring guitar player, ended up with an autographed guitar pick from Ty and on from Joe. Both are framed with his ticket stub.

Thanks Joe for a very memorable evening!!!!

Don't let the 7 on the score board get you too down. Joe's performance was great. But the concert and the ticket are a package deal. King's X is a good band with a ton of energy, but I question their addition to the lineup. Dream Theater put on a great show, but the length of their set is a big deal. We may have been better off with just DM and Joe. By the time Joe took the stage it was 10:30pm. A long wait to get to the best part of the show.

If you've read other setlists, then you know that sound quality has been an issue. Unfortunately, last night was not any different. It may be due the fact Joe's mixed in with some different music types. I can't say it was the venue, because other Satch shows in the same venue have been perfect. A heavy bass drone was layered over every song. Joe's guitar was clear for some notes, not so clear for others. Which is a shame, because Joe's performance was great.

Joe's setlist was a little more on the heavier side, probably due to the accompanying acts. Crushing Day was great to hear. Satch Boogie was absolutely the best of the night. While Joe played well during songs like, Raspberry Jam and Cool #9, the monitor took a great deal away from it. Other songs - Flying in a Blue Dream, Always WYAWM, Midnight (very cool), Summer Song, and Friends. Seemingly, before you knew it, Joe was done with his set list. Hovering around 14 songs. 11:45pm and Joe's done.

For $70, I want what we all want - Joe for a couple of hours and good sound. It's been a while since we've seen that. But even then, Joe's still worth it.
