Joe Bonamassa speaks about Mark Knopfler

[superval99]

Glad to hear that you and Mrs Knopflerfan enjoyed the concert!    I downloaded Joe's 2009 concert at the RAH from YouTube and just like you, I was impressed with his guitar playing and I enjoyed a lot of the songs, especially Sloe Gin, but after a while I began to feel that everything sounded very similar, unlike MK's music which is varied.

I'm sure you bought the blue-ray just for Eric, though, didn't you, Knopflerfan!   

PS  Have a good time on the 27th.  I will be thinking of you all and wishing I was there with you!

Yes Sloe gin is a fine tune with lovely guitar UNTIL Joe cranks the footpedal and lets rip!! I personally cannot stand too much distortion effect on a guitar!!

Oh and yes I bought the Blu-ray especially for the Clapton bit - NOT!!!!!

See you soon

Shame MK doesnt do the same sort of thing like Joe has just done....

I've just literally bought two of the four available 'tour de force' blu-rays from Joe's 'mini-tour' in London in March - they are amazing....

Nice gimmick having the 3D glasses for the amazing photographs in the booklet....

This days I bought and listened to the blu-ray "An acoustic evening at the Vienna Opera House" ... absolutely fantastic and amazing. Personally I love it a bit more than the London RAH 2013 concert, which contains 8 songs from this acoustic set.

... give this concert a try

Funny.
5 minutes ago I ordered the DVD. 
Joe is brillant. Also the 4 Tour de Force DVDs

congrats  ... you will not be disappointed.

All four of the 'tour de force' Blu-rays are exceptional and to get back on topic it would be good to hear both guitar 'gods' together wouldn't it!

Have you changed your mind about Joe being repetetive now, Knopflerfan?

Oh yes very much so Val!
Having seen him 'Live' and then having had time to listen/watch more of his material - He is awesome and some talent that shouldn't be underestimated!

Joe is a very technical guitar player, but his voice doesn't do the trick for me...

All I can say is give it time and listen and listen to him more and more and I think in time his voice grows on you... Mind you he makes up for it with the guitar though!!

My wife still reckons Joe sounds like 'Kermit the frog' and even looks like him on the Tour de force Blu-rays at the start where he is wearing a mac and cap and filming in and around London!
