Any idea what happened to the tour dates for Joe's last solo tour? They aren't listed in the road archives. I'm trying to date a couple of shows I attended.

Can someone help me out with dates for these two shows from Joe's last tour?

Chicago Theater Hammond, IN Casino

If anyone sees this and can help me out, please shoot me a msg at: jcshirke@gmail.com

So I have Classic Rock on play at Grooveshark....brought up a great list of lots of songs/bands...

One of the first is Fat Bottomed Girls by Queen....

WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO TELL ME, HMMMM? =|

So who is going to Portland and who is going to Lake Tahoe???

Trying to make up my mind about which show to attend here.... I'm leaning toward Portland because it's 26 minutes and 48 miles closer (according to google maps). But, I like Tahoe because I HATE driving through Oregon and I could probably make up that time by not having to worry about the cops over there, lol.

So, who is going where????

Ian

Ian....I'd do both shows in Tahoe AND the one in Portland if I could afford it. Things are very tight now, so I'm not even sure I can do one show. It's breakin' my heart too, Joe is our only vacation anymore.

Both locations have pros and cons for me. My CF fan club membership expired though, so to get the seated venue in Portland would prolly mean sucky seats, cuz I'd be late to buy tix with no pre-sale codes. Sigh.....

Hey Guys,

So how do we get pre sale tix this morning fo rthe Newcastle G3 gig at Panthers ?

Do we just keep checking the buy link in the road section because it currently doesnt have password or link for tix yet. I believe the pre sale starts this morning at 9 ???

Hi Joe, Big Vivid Fan from Claremont, North Carolina. Have listened to your music for years. Truly Great. But enough boot licking and butt kissing. The reason I am writing is that it came to my attention, while listening to some of my 15 year old neices music in the house, that an erie similarity between NICKI MINAJ song "RIGHT THRU" and your song "ALWAYS WITH ME, ALWAYS WITH YOU" the intro sounds TOO close. Being an unpublished poet it would tick me off to have other persons twist and distort my art. Thought I would bring it to your attention to check it out.

thanks cosmic_ape, I looked around and yeah , there are other JS series guitars, but i cant afford them $4000 wow.. oh well, ill stick with my trusty old RG320 ...wonder what it would be like to have a bit of money eh??

Congrats Aussiefudd!!!!

Also Dave Weiner is doing a clinic in Sydney if you're interested.

You going with fatape?
Thanks for the 2012 tour Joe!!

Congrats to Davy Knowles! He's been picked up by Rogue Island Entertainment!

Dear Joe!

Next time, when you go on European tour, and you play always with me always with you, please consider playing the long version you did on the DVD´s ,if it is possible, i like them so much.

Joe,

I write this with the hopes that this personally and directly finds you. All following will sound crazy and understand that it does because I have personally witnessed what celebrity infatuation can be. I was a bodyguard for Gavin De Becker INC. in 2001 in Los Angeles. I write this to you now because I desperately seek direction. I have been a guitar player for over twenty years and in the law enforcement field for almost the same. I have worked assignments ranging from SWAT to ultimately narcotics that changed my life forever. I am an avid Christian and that is also why I write this. I have been listening to your music for over twenty years as a source of healing. Songs like I Believe changed me as a teenager. Made of Tears gives me SO much healing and am listening to God is Crying now as I write this.

I write this because I believe in Christ Jesus and saw you wearing a shirt in guitar player magazine, thought and prayed about this email. I met you at the rear of the Granada Theater in Dallas, Texas on January 18th, 2011. That night also changed my life forever. You have been my musical idol for years and I have been to many shows. I took that trip to see you in concert and visit Stevie Ray Vaughan’s gravesite. The night that I saw you play, I kid you not, you threw a guitar pick right at my feet. On a whim I told my buddy to go to the rear of the building to maybe, just maybe meet you and thank you for all of the inspiration you have given me and my kids. I called to you, “Can we thank you Joe?” Moments later we met and I asked if I could have your hands. You jokingly told me no and I accepted and parted ways. That night was a pivotal moment for me in the fact that I met you but also lost me family. While I was in Texas visiting I later found out that my wife had cheated and my family then fell apart.

During the course of the last twelve months my life has changed dramatically. I have lost everything I thought I held dear. I used to have a large enough house and stuff to fill it. It’s gone. So be it. I lost my wife who I was also unequally yoked as scripture says. It is what it is. I have recently decided to quit law enforcement because I want to quit gambling with my life and chase what I once wanted as a child. A shot. I am a great guitar player, great bodyguard/security specialist and know my work well. I am free because God has told me to free myself and break the chains. I am truly free to chase my dreams. That is what this lengthy email is.
