Another Great Show From The Guitar Master! This was the first time that Joe played Casino Rama. This was my 9th time seeing Joe. The show was pretty well the same setlist as last fall at Massy Hall. The video screens that Joe shows his stuff on, were not used this time. One thing that was missing was Galen Henson? Not sure why he wasn't there? Allen Whitman, Mike Keneally, & the reliable Jeff Campitelli played great as usual. Mike is hillarious the way he shakes his head around! The only complaint that I have with Casino Shows, is anyone with a Casino Membership can get free tickets & we had no one sitting in front of us, until half way through the concert, then 4 old retired people come in & sit in the row that was empty. They were Gamblers, not Joe fans. They left after 3 songs. I think it was "Crystal Planet" that drove them to the exits or to the nearest defibrillator! I hope they woke up in the night screaming after a " Satch Guitar Shred, Nightmare" still ringing in there ears. To anyone else that walked out, "Bobby Vinton" is playing on Aug 5th! LOL.... Come back soon Joe, & thanks for spending your 55th birthday with us. Enjoy the rest of your Canadian visit. Song List not in order & from what I remember: 1) Ice # 9 2) Hordes Of Locusts 3) Dream Song 4) Pyrrhic Victoria 5) Super Colossal 6) Light Years Away 7) Crystal Planet 8) WAR 9) Satch Boogie 10) Always With Me, Always With You 11) Flying In A Blue Dream 12) The Mystical Potato Groove Thing 13) Why

Encore: 14) Crowd Chant 15) Summer Song

There were a few more songs that Joe did, that I can't think of. Wish he had had a played "Premonition". He left that one off this time. Amazing show no matter what he chooses to play! Until the next time........HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE!

What i can remember him playing was War, why, flying in a blue dream, Dream song, Summer song, Crowd chant.

the house sound was up a bit to loud so it was distorting. Allan was energetic and fun to watch.
