Joe just in case you do actually have time to read all of these I want to apologise on behalf of the people who were at Manchester Apollo on 16/06 (06/16 to u) I last saw you in the early 90's and as well as Vai, Gary Moore, SRV, Slash, Hendrix you have been a major influence on not only making me want to play guitar but the way I play and feel the guitar. For me seeing you was for I imagine like a lot of people seeing Hendrix for the first time years ago. Do you think that the people who saw Hendrix would actually have stayed sat down for the whole show and then not even stood up at the end. I appreciate not everyone can stand up but I would have thought the majority would! We stood up for 5 mins hoping everyone would follow suit but they didnt. I have listened to your music since I was 12 (14 years ago) and listen/play your stuff most days, therfore when I see it for real I close my eyes and let myself go. Near the end I met a lad who felt the same, then there was a few more and when Summer Song came on we were both going for it! A venue like that can t ake the seats out and it should have done, if not people should stand up at the very least to show their respect for one of the greatest guitarists who has ever lived! Everyone I talked to said they wanted to stand up but waited, I saw Vai at Newcastle and Joe and everyone stood up as they did with Whitesnake. Im not from Manchester and proud of it after what I saw. Joe next time just tell them to stand up they all wanted too and everyone would have had a better time, bloody british reserved attitude I hate it. Well rant over and do want to say an amazing show and yet again an amazing guitarist, some people would have gone stale over this amount of years and albums but Joe is certainly still at the front edge, I salute you!!!!!!
