I saw the Steve Morse Band (with Dave LaRue on bass) at a club in Redondo Beach tonight. The first opening band was Points North, and they are very worth looking into. They're a trio and have that Dixie Dregs / SMB sound.
Next up was Sarah Spencer, who just finished a CD (Angelfire) with the SMB backing her. The band she was with tonight included Steve on acoustic guitar, which was really cool. She has a beautiful voice, but she seemed REALLY shy onstage.
The Steve Morse Band played for just under 90 minutes...they did three Dixie Dregs songs, which was a nice treat. The highlight of the night, though, was when Van Romaine had a problem with his drums (I think his bass pedal broke) and Steve and Dave did two impromptu classical guitar/bass duets while the problem was being fixed.
Excellent show. I got a guitar pick, autograph, and handshake from Steve, and an autograph from Sarah. As shy as she seemed up onstage, she's a real sweetheart (and a cutie, haha).
Is anyone else on the west coast catching one of the remaining SMB gigs?
axeshredderjc - Wow...that lineup sounds AMAZING! I can't wait to hear what they come up with.
So Jason is doing this and Jonesy is doing Them Crooked Vultures...the pressure's all on Jimmy now. ;-)
This news also reminds me of how much I don't like Robert Plant. These projects are a reminder that the other 3/4 of Led Zeppelin were clearly in top form and wanting to do more together after their reunion in 2007. Argh...
...Austin...

Austin...have you heard the album "Raising Sand" Robert put out with Alison Krauss ? Pretty good I thought. And did'nt they win an award for that one?
I agree that a Zep reunion would be a dream come true. That is a show that I would definately empty the wallet for. But I think Robert is well aware that he can't sing like he used to.

Peas Lily, I dig that vid. Love to see when Jeff gets to get his groove on behind the kit. Also...love the pants! lol!
Jamie, nice vid.
Al, I didn't know the girl in the movie The Lovely Bones was Irish. She was on G. Lopez last night. She has a nice presence about her. Confident, cute, not full of herself, and...Irish. lol! George had no idea how to pronounce her name Saoirse, so he wrote Scortcher on the envelope he gave her. lol! How the hell do you get "Ser-shah" out of Saoirse?? Feckin' Irish! lol! That's a language I'll never learn. Gibberish I tells ya! Imagine trying to take roll call in a classroom. lol! I'd have nic-names for everyone! Ginger, Patches, Red, Ginger, Whitey, Ginger...
Think I'll put on Satriani Live or something Joe. All this Haiti news is breaking my heart t bits. So much devastation and loss.

==============GREETINGS JOE!!!!==================
Just wanted to make this stand out. This is Brian Lucore from Minneapolis, MN; remember I gave you that close-up steel-framed photo of us in Chicago. I hope you didn't throw it out, LOL!! It contained the 2-page letter, so I don't want to take much of your time right now, plus I'm exhausted from my overnight schedule. It took me forever to write to you again, sorry.
I'm getting a little better with the axe now. Originally just wanted to have fun with it, but it's too much fun!! Where the hell do I go from here? I am able to play some of your harder songs up to speed for Chrissakes!! Yes, in one of your videos you basically just say to go and play anywhere I can, but it's not that easy for me. I'm not a real social guy, but guitar is fun as hell.
Also had the question of getting together with you sometime, but I don't know how we would do that, do you? Gotta run, talk to you soon!!

Gotta get some Sigur Ros. Joe and the board are acclaiming them
How could Haiti be rebuilt if it was never built before ? It's a shame the poverty people lived before the earthquake, and a f. tragedy what they're gonna live now.
Hi Satriella,
Nice to review Joe talking about the JS.
Greetings from BCN. How's life ?
Joe Bonamassa is my #2 Joe. Pure blues feeling. Though it's been posted before, look at him at his 12's
McKenna, thumb up

does anyone know where you can get the studio version backing track for cool #9. i've tried searching everywhere for it but the only one i could find is the one that keeps on repeating the start of the song over and over again.
