Hi Joe, Really enjoyed your Unstoppable Momentum concert in Liverpool on the 11th June, the first time I have had a chance to catch you Live, and the first time you ave performed in our historic city (it's been around since pre 11th century.).

The Liverpool Philharmonic hall has fantastic acoustics as you commented on (apparently it was designed as a kind of megaphone with the orchestra/artist performing at the narrow end so the sound is amplified as it spreads out) and you all sounded awesome on the night (thanks to your sound engineers too!!) I didn't notice any plaster dust shaking loose as you were all performing, so the volume was not an issue LOL.

My favourite parts were Cool#9 (The Psychedelic strobe show, an amazing way to start the evening) and Rubina (very beautiful, your wife must be very proud of you!)

I hadn't actually purchased the new album on its release as I wanted to hear the Live show first, but have just ordered it from Amazon so it will be in my car's CD player very soon.

Thank you for entertaining us all Joe and very best wishes and kind regards always.

Neil.

Not sure if anybody has ever asked you this question Joe, but here goes:

Where is the strangest place you have ever found one of your used plectrums?

Oh, and has your good lady Rubina ever told you off for not emptying your pockets before putting your laundry into the wash basket? :-D (mine normally doesn't, she just pockets the cash I leave in there lol).

Looking forward to your next visit to the UK already!!

Hope you found some time for R&R during your hectic schedule.

I would love to see You do a documentary on the history of electric guitar, and iconic performers.

It would probably have to be a 3 parter but as you are a very commanding performer, intellectual musician, and very popular the world over I think it would be a great chance for You to do something a little different between performing and producing new work.

Carl Sagan did it for science, I think you could do it for music.

You interested?

According to the set list I won as part of the Liverpool UM competition you didn't perform 'Can't Go Back' which is the 2nd song on your new album Unstoppable Momentum'.

I'm not sure if it was just left off the set list I won and you actually performed it, or you decided not to perform it, but I really think you should add it to the set list for the North American tour as it's a most awesome track!!

( I know self praise is no recommendation but it is one of the best compositions on the album and a joint favourite of mine, along with U.M. and Jumping Out!)

Hope all you guys are resting well before venturing back on the road, if I win some serious money I hope to come see you all again in Orlando Florida :-)

Best wishes,

Neil (Neddy B)

Hi Joe, I have a question to ask

I know guitars are easy to procure should one be unserviceable/broken, lost or stolen whilst touring, but what would happen God forbid should you lose your pedals and other effects whilst touring? Would the concerts be cancelled or do you have a plan in place so you can replace unserviceable or lost equipment?

One of the hallmarks (well mine anyway) of an amazing musician is how consistently they perform live. I love all the studio albums but I am always left in awe when listening to your live albums (Paris, San Francisco, and Satchurated), those are the performances I love the most as it's what is delivered on the spot as opposed to the editing an re-recording process of the studio. I also love the videos except for the Paris one which for me is unwatchable due to suffering photo sensitive migraines, too many effects I'm sorry to say :-(. However I would love an unprocessed viewing of that one. The audio is spot on which more than makes up for it. The raw (no visual effects) video of 'Satchurated' was amazing to watch.

Saw you in Liverpool 2014 and can't wait until you revisit the UK again. Not too long hopefully.

Don't wear yourself out now and make the most of your rest periods.

Very best wishes,

Hi Joe Hope you are well. Congratulations on completing your Unstoppable Momentum world tour, an impressive logistical exercise that left me amazed.

I went to the Liverpool show. It was the first time I'd seen you perform Live and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Can't wait for the next one.

I have a question: In Liverpool we have the World famous Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. Have you ever considered a concert with a backing orchestra? I ask the question as I've watched Deep Purple perform with the London Symphony Orchestra and enjoyed it. I would love to listen to some of your compositions such as "Rubina" and "Love Thing" with the backing of an orchestra. If you ever consider coming back to Liverpool, and if you fancy being backed by a world famous orchestra the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic would be an excellent choice. I'm sure you would have a full house to perform to.

On the album cover for 'Professor Satchifunkilus and the Musterion of Rock' you dress in black but are wearing red Converse style pumps. Is this a Wizard of Oz reference or something else? Or am I seeing too much into it??
