Cappy:It depends on the parts i record or the gig, i use various guitars for different jobs my main squeeze is an old Yamaha pacifica 1221 top o range job "not t be confused with bottom of range pacificas!"customized beyond belief, they dont make em anymore, it really is an awesome guitar t play defo will be my live guitar for many years t come

Just bought a Fender YJM sig strat recently, i,m using that for most of the elec solo guitar parts on cd2.Its a weird guitar tho, great tone for recording direct but through my gear n amp the Pacifica has the edge

Custom Balladeer steel string

yamaha baby semi acoustic fitted with a fishman humbucker great for celtic stuff n live acoustic work, zero probs every gig

Classical cutaway Epiphone i,ll be gettin another classical n flamenco guitar in the next couple o years, currently scouting around Andalucia checking out luthiers

My old Ibanez 560 now fretless, all my guitars are stock & all are modded up t the max

OK, here are some MP3s from the 2004 Experience Hendrix gig with Satch, Mitch Mitchell, and Billy Cox, among other people:

Manic Depression
Spanish Castle Magic
Voodoo Child

This show was at the Warfield on 2/26/04 recorded by T2Jer zonin, but I don't think he's been on the site for a while...

I don't have time to listen to the songs again so I don't remember who is on each one, but the first two are mainly just a trio (JS, MM, BC) and the last one is a big jam with those three and several other people. If you look through zonin's posts from around that time (do a search here) you should probably find info about the show...maybe someone can post it.

Jeff Campitelli is "flip ice left, jam". Galen Henson is "neon hen slag".

Also, the cell phone/keys thing is an interesting idea, but it's a myth.

Michelle--What sad news! I like to think Mitch Mitchell is in Music Heaven jamming with all the other musicians that have passed on before!

I remember meeting Keith Moon at LAX back in 1972. One of his front teeth was missing and someone in the meeting group asked if Roger Daltry hit him with his microphone. I don't remember what he said, but it made everyone laugh. I remember he was so happy to see us and signed autographs for us all. I was on cloud 9! It was very sad to hear he died 6 years later.

DoTheStu--I hear your request and will postpone my petition for rain until Sunday. Also, thanks for the review of the San Diego show. I don't have tickets to SF, but I am grateful that you will be going.

Maritime--Thanks for your links to the great Dick Dale and Jeff Beck vids.

For everyone who has tickets to the LA, Reno and SF shows--you are lights to this world!! I am grateful to each and every one of you people for your love, energy, vitality and especially your love of Joe's fantastic music! I don't have tickets to the shows, however, I have been collecting Joe's albums on CD and I know in the future I will get tickets to one of Joe's shows and get to meet some of you. I am looking forward to it. SOOOOO....Take heart GottaHaveJoe--your time will come AND Joe will be there for you!

Gotta get ready for work at the library.

Well, it's that time again. I'm off to lunch and then I'm heading up to LA for tonight's show. It's funny to think that exactly 24 hours from now I'll be 500+ miles away, traveling to another Satch gig...AGAIN. ;-)

For those of you keeping score at home, I'm picking up Al at a train station in (haha) Dublin, CA, at about 9 a.m. tomorrow. Then the craziness begins...

tikimon san>Mainly because the ideas i have are 2 radical plus kit guitars dont have the combined quality wood choices i,d be looking for let alone a neck through body guitar design.I,ve built many a kit guitar in the past, simple n fun but the skilled work of a master luthier working the ideas out your head is something entirely different its not until you sit next t one of these guys at work that you realize just how complex the making of a top notch quality elec guitar is the results are nothing short of mindblowing

Hey Joe! your concert last night at H.O.B. was AWESOME!!! i also wanted to say thanks for talking with me after the signing was over at Guitar Trader it meant a lot. anyway you rock and being as it was my first ever concert the icing on the cake was catching Jeff's drum stick at the end. Thanks for being an awesome inspiration, cuz of all the guitar players out there you are somebody worth looking up to.

Good evening Satchland..

Ok..so I'm not really making a lot of money right now, so here's what I did. I bought a Satchurator Pedal with the proceeds from another pedal I'm selling. So in reality I'm breaking even. Do you think my wife will go for that one? lol..

superdave..i have ALWAYS found it is better to ask forgiveness than ask permission. you are gonna love the satchurator. i was on mine for about 3 hours today. i had me some fun.

SupaDupaDave, are all you Dave's alike, or is it just a guy thing. That's my husband's line "I sold that and just rolled that money over into this, so actually it only cost *insert minimal amount here*. Sometimes I'd like to roll HIM over and kick him up his... But then again, it's what makes him happy - the gear part, not the me kicking him up his ass part ;-) His "hobby" is starting to take over the entire basement though! lol! My nice little bar/party room has turnt into PapaLump Recording Studio. lol! I guess it's a 2fer now.

Stuart Hamm anagram - MAMA THRUST - lmao!!! I dig that one.

Austin, Al from Dublin is getting picked up in Dublin. What are the feckin odds of that ever happening? Do me a favor and kiss him smack on the lips and tell him Mark London sent ya. Don't ask why, just do it!

Cappy, those Michellica links...yer gonna piss in bed fer that! lol!

Slan, how's wee man doing? On a totally different note - "me love buckets on fire" toooo feckin funny!

Sandy, "Satchiella" sat-sheila, sat-chee-ella, sad-tree-yella, yer nuttier than a fruitcake girl. Just change yer name to Jo Gilbert and be done with it lol! Just glad yer finally happy.

Lol Michelle...yep.. there is a "minimal amount"...but it's very minimal ;) ....I knew you would understand.

Thanks DTS for the San Diego review - hope you have a great time n SF tonight - maybe Satch will pull out some sort of surprise.

I've been listening to Seattle 93 and Paris 90 and there is some lovely live stuff he did back then.

Have fun.

ZincMaster---Van Halen 5150 is my favorite VH album. I love Sammy Hager's vocals and the hot guitars!

Slans--I don't know much about the Music business and touring vs CDs, but I do enjoy my CD collection very much and listen to at least a 4 or 5 songs everyday between work and homework. I'm still curious about a Musician's view of the lifestyle and what works for him/her.

Michelle and Tracie--I think I have Blue Moon Fever! I am mopping my brow with a cool washcloth. Is there a doctor in the house that knows a cure? ;-D

Milli, I don't know what to tell u about yer fevah.....

But I can say, with total confidence and not a single doubt....

That Reno and San Fran are about to experience a vortex of Joe and a whole 'gaggle' of t2j fans....

Try not to be too skerred Joe....but if I were u, yeah, I would be, just a lil, lol!

Awwwwww maaaaan!!

Good and bad news...

It's my birthday on the 27th (yes its Jimi Hendrix's, AND Bruce Lee's birthday :P) and my girlfriend just busted out with tickets to the WARFIELD show!! Hotel reservation AND a trip to the planetarium!

Wooo, we have a mayor up in here!

GGirl, a fevah...the only prescription is...MORE COWBELL! (somebody put up the SNL vid clip plz, kthanx)

RENO is gonna be smokin' tonight with all the T2J peeps there. Same thing with SF tomorrow. Safe travels to everyone!

UematsuMaster>congrats little dragon

Tikimon San:being into M Arts you,ll understand the striking similaritys between the arts n music, same place different form, wish I had 8 lifes t absorb the knowledge of it all n boil it all down to a potent simple directness

Mama M:Hes a whole lot better today thx Shel, back t kiddy school, maybe later I,ll get some decent photos taken, have the inlaws chompin at the boot for more pics man he just gets cuter n yup that quote from The Fat Slags is one of many class one liners Viz mag characters rock!

Golden Girl 2:The lifestyle of pro musicians vary from one to another, it’s a bit like putting 10 people in a room & expect them all to eat curry, some music fits for some while others not, each style has its own stereotypical lunchbox for the good or bad depending how or who is looking at it eg a session musician has t fit into just about any environment, incredibly difficult t switch mindset from say a sweaty Rock band rehearsal during the day 2 playing Jazz standards at Tiffanys “Wine n cheesy nibbles anyone” at night you also at times have t hire the gear for the job if you don’t have it yourself, sometimes a tux as wellso wave goodbye t quarter of yer wages or more especially if the gear ends up damaged, but at least you get t go home at night n sleep in your own bed.Touring is different, you need t have your shit together in so many other areas, playing the music perfect, reliable gear, good management etc are the obvious.Having your personal life together, I,m talking trust & you need a LOT of it if your 1-6 or more months on the road is another thing entirely, no man wants t be on tour n come back home t find his bedspace taken any more than a woman wants their man sleepin around n bringing back all kinds of lovely virus for her t culture or worse! Its hard on the heart if you’re in a relationship, more so if you have family, there is little choice but to think positive & act responsibly, many a talented musician met a lonely fate from self-indulgence, more so the young, pity you cant put an old head on young shoulders
