In my opinion, the difference between a star and superstar is the way that a celebrity treats their fans. Everyone involved in the Kelowna, BC concert on January 6 is a superstar. Joe, his staff, the band, the crew, Dave Martone’s band, the fans and even the venue staff (including security - believe it or not) were great.

Even though the show was late to start by a couple of hours, it was well worth the wait.

The equipment truck was stuck for hours waiting for the Roger's pass to open up. I think the band was there, too, but I didn't hear that directly. For those of you in warmer climes, the highway from Calgary west through British Columbia goes through a mountain pass that often closes due to avalanches and snow control.

I've been a Satch fan for almost 25 years (wow, I'm getting old) and still talk about his concert I went that I attended in the late '80s. Now my 10 year old daughter has taken an interest in his music so I was really excited to take her to the show.

We arrived at the venue 90 minutes before show time to find the crew still unloading the equipment truck! I thought for sure the show would be cut short, the crew would be testy, or the band would be a little off just because they’d be tired. If they were, it didn't show. I'm pretty sure they still did the meet and greet. The music was, as expected, incredible. The people around us were kind and considerate to my daughter -- Big thx to the guys that gave her the pick that Joe through into the crowd, it went to school for show and tell. Thanks to the guys in front of us who made sure she could see, I hope you get your big break and maybe open for Satch someday.

We didn't have meet and greet tix so we took our chances after the show and waited around in hopes of getting an autograph. We met two others doing the same – we even met the pizza delivery kid bringing super for the band. Thanks to the crew for chatting, thanks to security for being decent and to Joe's staff (personal assistant and road manager?) for inviting us in from the cold. Of course, thanks to Joe for taking a few minutes after a long day to shake hands and talk to us. It meant a lot to me and my daughter was thrilled. Because everyone treated us like real people instead of just a cash generating fans, the evening turned from another concert to a life time memory.
