Tracy and Austin, Thanks for the vids/pictures. Chickenfoot at Tahoe looked like fun and I'm glad you all enjoyed it. I love the picture of Joe getting his teeth into his playing......a special intimacy with his guitar.....requires a strong mouth and teeth! What can't Joe do with his guitars?

Amazing concert. Wish I coulda been there.

Maybe I can get some rail transportation to all the concert venues with Michelles(?) help. Need some government stimulus money for the modern rail projects.

SIGH!!!

Sick Mother F*cker :)))

Chelle, you get lotsa extry points fer keepin me company on the drive home yesterday :) That pic definitely keeps a person....awake....happy....confused...? LOL!!!

And yes, Chrispie definitely got Chrispier....me too....sunburn hurts quite a bit today, but I'm a wimp! Yes, I was carrying the very famous "Mckenna" bag from Joanie, it's my favoritest concert bag now...and YES that was ME TEXTING U in that pic right after the show got over, LOL!!

TY fer encouraging Joe to come to Oregon, I could use a bit of a travel breakie, lol....

Cappy, loosen yer laces, there's a good man....

Peace Lily, yer welcome for the vids, I just search youtube, find em, and post em here now and again. Someone else took them. I did do a video of Bitten By The Wolf, but usually the audio part of it sucks cuz I don't know where my microphone on my camera is to cover it, so it's loud and distorted. Plus this time so many trees in front of me movin around, I could really only film Joe. So prolly won't put it up.

Freddy, glad to know you and the Mrs. made it home safe and sound...now we just need Ian to check in to know everyone made it okay.

Don, lets jump the scalpers and punch em in the throat!!! Sounds like you and Darl are people after my own heart....hours in line is the only way to go fer a GA show!! We're happy to do it but it does get hard on this old body...although....Chickenfoot in Tahoe Saturday night, if there'da been a show and a way, we'da gladly done it all again SUNDAY!! WOOOOOOOO!!!

Austin, thanks for the photos, u got some good ones too :) I'm sure you know I mean it from my heart when I call you a CONCERT WHORE!! :)))))

burly, if I may ask, where'd u hear that rumor from? If it maybe is true, I'd prolly lay bets it would be a tour outside the US in Jan/Feb...I know Joe was VERY interested in getting the guys over to Oz, so who knows?

Thanks everyone for the compliments , thats cool!

Michelle - Our sunburn wasn't to bad , Freddy was in the pic with Tracie , Chris & Austin waitin for the show to start. Next to Chris on the right of the pic.

Don1963 - yes lol , I noticed that too. I must have close to a thousand pictures of JOE and I still take more?

Glitz Man - I have a few favorites , Here is one...pic

Austin - you took some nice pics!! I really like the one of Michael and the one of Joe and Chad

Glitzy - wow that's amazing!! You done good and you got a plaque too LOL I am very happy for you.

Just let me know where I get my Olympics tickets to watch you run :>)

Great, great pics of the Tahoe show peeps, but Austin, can I ask...er....what the heck was that "food" at the Cabo Wabo? Never seen anything like it. And you took a photo of the empty plate too now THAT is hilarious.

Clearly your height is a great asset, too, cos there are no heads in your pics!

burly - PLEEZ< PLEEZ tell me you heard the Jan/Feb shows were in Oz????

Glitz Man

AWESOME time !!!

Congratulations on your great race.

Awww Roo, yer missus sounds a real gem....wanna take me n Chris to the show with u instead? :D What!! You need COMPANY!!!

Brian, yer a Joe-ho too, one of the finest, lol!! Chris is workin on gettin his pics online...me, I haven't even looked at mine yet cuz I just know dey's gonna be not-so-good...but I'll see if there's any worth posting and send u a link if so.

It's turnin chilly here....I think a few more warm days to come later this week, then it's prolly starting the slide into Fall....

michelle - I got mail today...woohoo!

And I'll respond to your note here, to confuse everyone else. A male stripper may have delivered it, but if he did he only left in my mailbox like the mailman would have done. So you should probably ask for your money back. :-)

I'm listening now...good stuff! Which vocals are your son's? He's not Cookie Monster, is he?

I like his small keyboard line in Explanations.

I'll have more to say when I'm done listening...but everyone else should go check them out:

Giants Among Men

Listening to: Giants Among Men - And All That Follows (current song: Reaction)

I love the keyboard here too...cool!

Alan Mc--Yer driving me to madness! Why won't you answer me question in Facebook? What qualifications do you require for a friend? Do you need a resume? Shesh!

Lovely vids of Steve Vai, btw!

Aww, everbody - group hug for Freddy! lol!

Imagine how I felt meeting up with my two bestest buddies and having a feckin' laugh riot weekend AND seeing CF, then having them go back across the US and leave me here to sulk. I was so sad for it to end that I actually started crying on the way home from AC. lol! It was a three tissue event! lol! Tracie sent me a text that they just returned the car and they were on their way to the airport. That was all it took. Somehow that made it final, and I feckin lost it. LOL! Thems mah bitches! lol! It still makes me cry that they're so far away from me. lol! I do so love them.

Austin, thanks! Nah, my boy isn't the Cookie Monster. That's the drummer. My son has a high voice. He mixes it into the group vocals a bit. Now you know the sound that's been shaking my house all summer during recording. lol! Yes, I am going to have to ask for my monies back on that stripper. I specifically said for him to be singing songs from Evita when he handed it to you. Just can't get the bang for the buck anymore. My daughter used her fisheye lens to take some of the pics on their website. Always remember that fisheye pics aren't really flattering. lol! This is one of the funniest pics ever! A boy & his chin hairs. lol! Good kids - all of 'em!

Michelle--Airport transportation is so old and expensive and some people just don't want to fly or can't fly for some reason or another. Wouldn't you want to take a fast train to CF or Joe's concerts? I would AND I would move to Pennsylvania if there was a job building new railways and bullet trains to cross from the Atlantic to Pacific and back. Also trains could connect the Gulf coast with anywhere in the US.

Am I making any sense here? Or am I just a washed up old woman, over the hill and out of touch with the true goals of the 21st century????????

Awww Freddy, get Shannon to give you a big ole sloppy hug when she gets home, LOL!! I know how yer feelin, I was there the second Chickenfoot left the stage!! POWERFUL ADDICTION!!! Sorry u guys had to leave so fast, we never did get a group picture by the stage, darn it. Next time!! Got any pics to share?

Austin, I've been enjoying Giants Among Men meself now fer a coupla weeks :) I gotta say, those boys are good with the original music...and I love the keyboards and guitar, drums and bass!! EXCELLENT job for a first cd! Betcha Joe has heard it by now :)

I'd say it's a person's right to choose who they want as friends, whether online or in person, so if yer not getting a response back, that's obviously yer answer. Prolly time to move along to others who do want to add u, and ferget about it.
