This is soooo late. I have always been infatuated with the guitar and Joe has been an inspiration for me. I have met him in person in Sacramento at SKIPS and I saw him when I was in San Francisco waiting to see FREDDY VS JASON. Then I saw him at G3 and was blown away. Then I saw him in Concord. In person and about 8 feet away. What an amazing opportunity to see one of the greatest guitarists alive. I had my camcorder and was able to film Joe my way. I was also excited to be among the first fans to see him play 3 new songs from the new album live. I could tell Joe was nervous as everyone stood up and crowded the stage, but he went on like the show-man he is and did it. I look forward to seeing what boundaries Joe decides to break next and hope to be there when he does it.

Honestly, I'm only 17 and this is the first time i've seen Joe in person... that's why it's a really special gig to me even tho he's the only one playing on stage but he was really great! The sound was beautiful and his musics were superb! I'm a little disappointed about how low the "stage" was since i'm a small person myself but heck the show and the music are what counts the best! JOE IS THE MAN!!! and i would like to thank him for stopping by at concord tho i live a couple of cities away... anyway, that show was great.... he played 5 songs including the new ones! It was perfect all of us should get his new cd!!! It's awesome I tell ya! Again, thank you!

The In-Store show was AWESOME!!! The sound was excellent and the "floor" was like a true metal show ... no pit of course!! Joe played about 40 minutes of material, with classics Satch Boogie, Always With Me Always With You, Flying In A Blue Dream, Summer Song and also new songs Gnaaahh and Up In Flames. It was a great time and I am definitely glad I was able to make it.

BIG TIME THANKS TO JOE!!!!!

Simply an amazing show! Many thanks to Joe, his crew and the Tower Records staff for making this dream come true. Not only was I able to witness up close one of the greatest artists of our time perform, I also had the pleasure of meeting him after the show. What an outstanding performance. Joe as always was flawless. He played several favorites such as "Satch Boogie," "Always With Me Always With You," "Summer Song," and "Flying In The Blue Dream" plus a few tracks from the newly-released cd "Is There Love In Space." Certainly one very memorable evening.

Again many thanks, Joe. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.

Joe sounded AWESOME! His new rig has great tone. It was pretty exciting to see him so close up and personal. I did have a major complaint with the way that Tower handled the autograph line. I was near the front of the stage and when he was done playing they tried to get everyone in line. I stood in several lines and every time someone from Tower would tell us that this wasn't part of the line and we ended up getting shuffled around the store. I eventually ended up near the very end of the autograph line. I never did get to meet Joe which was a big disappointment, but at least I got some good pics and heard some good music.
