joe ~ it was really great meeting you again last night (medina). it was an evening i have only dreamed about. thank you for signing my mahogany JS6 (twice - for a total of 3 now). i hope you enjoy the hendrix mix cd i gave you (you seemed to be pleasantly surprised). it opens with a hilarious 30 second clip of an interview - the rest is mostly comprised of personally remastered live tracks from the fillmore, atlanta pop fest, isle of wight, and royal albert hall. i also threw in one great doors track for variety, and 4 selections from my band "mystic mint" - i hope you enjoy them - it means the world to me to know you have them in your possession. by the way, that was my wife sitting next to doug behind the mixing board - i noticed you took a double take when you saw her sitting there. she's an RN and rarely gets to cut it loose - i realized she was having a great time when i was helping her climb over the speakers to get there. i think i fell in love with her all over again! =) the show was amazing as always. i was at the bar singing the words to "catfish blues" during the hendrixy intro you did (which, by the way, a friend digitally recorded with some "stealth" ear pieces - hope you don't mind - apparently, not much else was recorded very well due to the volume - let me know if you want an mp3). i really enjoyed "time machine" - i've been wanting to hear that live since that record came out. and, your extended version of "friends" was phenomenal.

i didn't add my email address to that disc (i know you asked if it was on there)... it is bdahlberg@attbi.com

please drop me a line. thanks again for everything!

Yaaay! I am so happy, Joe has decided to come to Sacramento. That is so awesome. I dont like having to drive to San Fransico or Reno for the shows, but I do anyways.

Narface - My personal fav. is the "SureClaw"... It works similarly to the "Tremsetter", but doesn't make things too stiff. They're available from www.stewmac.com - some still prefer the original tremsetters, but they all deserve a look.

Joe, I'm taking my 10 year old son Tim to see you tonight 12/6 at the Vic in Chicago. This will be his first concert. He bought an electric guitar three weeks ago and rarely puts it down. I know tonight will will be the greatest night of his young life. I attended your show two years ago and thought I have to turn my son on to your music. I'ts great to hear you live. The Live from S.F. DVD it also great. You are blessed with great talent Joe, continue to share it with the world as much as you can!

PhyDom :) I would love plug ins for sure -- to be honest haha I totally forgot ALL about them and your CD. I had to reformat my computer like 20 times in the past month and the email was lonnnnnng gone!!

Time vs Time Machine....Im gonna go with Time Machine, I am not as big of a fan of Time as most people, However I love the LISF version so much better than the CP version, I thnk its the really dry tone of the CP version that bugs me, but since there is no live version of Time Machine.......

TM 4 - T 3...I think

Saw you and the Kansas City show Wednesday (12/4). It was a great performance and I'm so glad I bought the Strange Beautiful Music CD many weeks befor the show. Thanks for playing many of the songs from it! IS possible for someone to post a set list from this Show?

Hello Dave??????????? My wife wants to use your toilet.... my wife says your toilet is broken... don't worry I'll fix it.... do you like animals Dave? PAPA LAZAROU!!!!!!!

Anyway...

I vote for Time Machine. Dunno what the score is though

My band and I played a gig tonight... apart from all the words I forgot, all of the extra spontaneous verses and solos we added in, and the frankly wrong notes I played when I was on bass, hell yeah we rocked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

El Heavy - A Megadeth fan I see.

I can't manage to play anything right when standing up anymore. Especially without warmup or any previous playing. Not going well.

Will the real Dave please step forward....lol

Joe, thank you so much for the show in Medina...there is absolutely nothing better than watching you from 4 feet away (I was the guy directly in front of you with the permanent smile on my face). I noticed that you seemed not satisfied with your sound right as you began "Flying". You shook your head and looked at Mike Manning. It sounded great to me, but of course I don't have your ears. Thanks again :)

Lots of laughs to Jeff Campitelli, when you walked on stage, you took notice of the very low ceiling at the venue and had a good chuckle about it. It certainly did seem like it was only inches from the top of your head.

Matt and Galen, you guys are a great addition, and you make it look so easy. I've never seen musicians have so much fun.....thanks guys

Also, I hope that poor girl in the front row who passed out from heat exhaustion is OK. Of course, it does'nt help to be wearing a heavy sweater when you are crammed together with so many people. Peace all......

Joe, great show at the house of blues on 11/30/2002. I was 2 feet away from you by the front row. I'm a huge fan and have seen you numerous times. I've also been to CD signing sessions in the los angeles area.

Thank you for the wonderful music that you have given the world. Keep on writing and playing.

Take Care,
