marimariSRV:

Thanks for theset list - it was Motorcycle Driver that I was looking for (I knew he played SleepWalk too :)

I'm actually glad he played alot of his less popular stuff - definately gave me a better appreciation for them thats for sure.

Greetings Joe and everyone in this musical world. Please send me your advice,, What pedals are Joe using?

I have an Ibanez guitar, Fender stage 100 amp and a Dan-O-Wah pedal,,, I need more to get the sound that Joe has.

Please help..

Joe when ya comin back to connecticut man?! I missed ya at the oakdale last time around and you never came back!

Jblaze, "WEBMASTER:Will you please consider putting a "Member Since 00/00/00 included in everyones post's?...At least let me know what you think?"

Where is everybody? Big day for you all tomorrow huh? yeah, me too.

Zonin: You recieved your t-shirts and tickets already? That's RAW(good). I'm still waitin' on mine, they have not come yet. Maybe 'cause I only ordered the gold package. Maybe platinum is priority. Anyways, Fanfare, what's the deal?

I'm finna go my ass to sleep(and hopefuly the rest of me to).

Peace Love and Hair Grease

Oh yeah, just bought my tickets to the 23rd show. One last thing I have to worry about. Also bought some X10 binoculars for $60, way too expensive.

Shit, I cant sleep. Maybe I should try turning the compuer off! yeah, that would probably work. One knows it's time to go to sleep when he types to himself. But first, Im'ma play wit' these binoculars. Yup, gonna see what the neighbors are doin'.

Hey, hold up, dont look at me like that , thats fair, I hear feet scapmperin' away when I walk too the window in the middle of the night too. And boy let me tell you it ain't the rats. Although, in the ghetto they are big enough to sound like a size 10 and a 1/2, but somethin' tells me that just ain't the ratones. Besides, I just wanna see how much power these bullshits have.

Jblaze: thank you!

I just got home from the Baltimore show. You and the boys kicked ass! Can't wait for you to come back to Bal'mer and do it again! Thanks for coming out after the show and signing autographs. I was very disappointed that only 5 people stayed after. We only had to wait about an hour. But what can you do. Joe thanks again for the 3 hours of Fantastic Music. One of the best concerts I've ever seen!

Here's a sort of "Greatest Hits" collection I put together to introduce a female friend to Joe's music before we go to the Beacon show - I'm sure the fact that this was for a woman influenced my selections... :) Stuff like "Raspberry Jam Delta-V" or "Mind Storm" didn't make the cut even tho they're awesome songs, simply because I was going for a different feel. My friend's reaction was quite positive - but then again she's a decent guitarist herself and I knew she'd be impressed. How could she not be? :) You rock, Joe!

WOW I just bouught the "Strange, Beautiful" SACD and I must say it is awesome to listen to that disc in multichannel!! I have a fairly modest system but that disc makes it sound like I've got a $30,000 system...Joe, you should see about getting "Alien" and maybe some others re-released on SACD....

...and the rest of you Satch fans should get this disc and a SACD player to play it on!

Mari: Thanks for posting the set list. He played Motorcycle driver! Thats one of favorites. Crystal Planet, Extremist, EOC and Flying in a bad dream (hehe) are my favorite albums. SBM is priceless too.

Larreye, you could start out wiht a Boss DS-1. That should help with the smooth overdrive tone. Joe has used a DS-1 or a pair of DS-1s a lot in the past.

I find that using a neck pickup with the tone full on gives it that aquious tone, while using the bridge pickup turns the overdrive into crunch for things like Time and A Train Of Angels.

Also, to get a proper Joe tone you could get a set of his pickups......DiMarzio PAF Pro for the neck position and DiMarzio Fred for the bridge.

Jazzy, DCK re Kalan Porter, I am afraid you cannot count on me, see my 12 year old daughter is infatuated with Kalan. I cannot have blood on my hands...

I will help foot the bill for a hit man though!!!LOL

LilyZhang: welcome! where are you from?

Joe looked HOT in his jeans, black tee, red glasses with guitar to match, and NO hat!!
Michelle, I agree, HE is the sweetest and the sexiest!!!!!!!!
Sorry Joe, just a female point of view ;-)

962- Will get the DVD soon! I do have the CD though.

Michelle- hope the knee has eased up somewhat; the show sounded amazing!

Clarky- thanks for the explanation, I do know what you mean about throwing guitars around- to me I suppose it's more (like 962 said) about seeing the guitar meet its doom that is upsetting. But like you say, he's just putting on a show and doesn't care what people think anyway! The album title "Concerto Suite," as you explained, is a bit nonsensical, but I loved the album nonetheless.

On a different topic... has anyone out there tried out either the Gibson or Epiphone Ace Frehley Les Paul? Obviously the price between the two varies by a lot! But although the Epiphone can be bought for under 500 quid it still has 3 diMarzio humbuckers. Can't be bad, I thought?
