Absolutely amazing show. One I'll never forget. Being in the front row may have given it that extra something but there was no denying Joe's powerful performance. I certainly won't forget to mention the brilliant performances of the rest of the band. The guys ripped it up with all the latest goodies mixed with some old classics I haven't seen performed live for a long time. I have to say seeing "Always With Me, Always With You" being performed by the Master himself right in front of me had brought back the same strong emotions I felt the very first time I heard it playing on the radio just over 20 years ago. Such a beautiful song that's everlasting.

It was great meeting you Joe.

Joe

Thankyou so much for coming back so soon to our wonderful city. We have to feel spoilt now Tour in 05, G3 in 06 and now back again! Club Joe was worth every cent. I am so glad so many of us had the opportunity to meet you. You are so nice, friendly and humble. It was also great to be in the standing room only venue before everyone else. To be front and centre next to my mate Raven and my new friend (Steve Vai lookalike) Iman was really special. The show was amazing. You are truly exceptional. Great to see Galan and Jeff and to see Stu Live for the first time ever. Although I would have loved to have heard you play If I could fly. I could not fault the show, that new track Ghost is a keeper for the next album. During the encore Iman and I got to watch the encore from the side of stage. That again was amazing. I must say though when you are in the crowd looking up at Joe you never realize how funny it looks until you are backstage watching everyone else. Thanks to Mick and Jack for organising Club Joe and thanks for picking me to see the encore backstage. Can't wait for the next show. :) Julie

This was a fantastic show. The song choice was great, the energy was brilliant, the sound was excellent. The crowd was well behaved and attentive the the superb quality of the performance.The icing on the cake for me was meeting Joe before the show. I would highly recommend seeing Joe live. Excellent.

Awesome as always! Great to see Stew Hamm play, unbelievable! Great to meet you Joe thanks for signing my guitar it looks fantastic and it was even better walking you back to the hotel !!! Not knocking the show at all but was a little dissapointed as we were standing front row right in front of the bass amps and it was difficult to hear the master playing. I couldn't hear your new song Ghost very well at all so I hope you realease it. I did get some great photos though! Can't wait for the next one.
