Just watching the Johnny Cash movie on Film4, he started poor & very shy on stage, became rich & able to support wife & children better - got tempted with lots of other girls..& drugs.
Sad ;-(
So pleased Joe has his wonderful family to keep him level headed, (well he's such a good guy anyway), & well, ya all know what I'm getting at, I'm not so good at words! x

I also discovered reflexology this year, although expensive, it's feels great (all over, not just your feet). Highly recommended!

TN Joe, I'm just bustin' yer wienie. I have a bunch of tats, and one is the words I Believe written above an angel. I got the angel first, then after a show I had Joe write I Believe on top of it so I could get it inked. Well, as some of us know, Joe's handwriting isn't the best. lmao!! It actually pretty much wore off overnight anyways, so I picked out a font I liked and had it put there later that week. What you need to know is that as much as you love Joe's music, the man behind the music is is one of the most incredible guys you could ever have the pleasure to meet (and some day I hope you do). He's the most optimistic person out there, he's humble, caring, has a huge heart, and is a feckin genius when it comes to knowing everything about music - pretty much all around the best guy in rock & roll - hands down. He's just...the best.
Sorry you & yer peeps didn't get to see Joe this time around. Check youtube for some vids from this tour. There's some killer vids from Dublin! Ahhhh, that's the goose bump shit right there :-)
So, 46 and from Philly. I'm 46 and an hour from Philly. lol! My hubs and I are huge fans. Welcome to T2J!
Donkey, I'ma save that for your signature.

I represent that mid-west straight from The Chi, North Pole baby (trying to sound as cool as Michelle. I guess it looses it's effect when one is halfway serious about it =p)
TNjoe or anyone who is interersted...
I suck at the link thingy but...

But instead of that box she is crouching on I want them to turn it into an amp (heven't decided which one, perhaps a Mesa) and add a guitar standing next to her. Perhaps I'll get a js1200 on the right.
That would make a pretty nifty tattoo.

Michelle, I was trying to fix it but didnt pan out as I had hoped.
Anyone that wants to check it out will just have to copy and paste. I know that makes people less interested but trust me it's a cool tattoo. "Aw man I have to copy and paste? Booooo!!!" Yes people....

Detroit Fillmore 12/17. Have been fan since first album. I believe the Fillmore is “potentially” a great venue b/c of its small size. However, the evening was poorly planned/managed. Assuming the prospective of gaining new fans while maintaining older loyal fans; I might have run the show a bit tighter. The newer fans are younger and looking for a crisp/clean organized product they identify through their most important media source, internet. The huge talent and range of JS has the potential to capture this audience.
The product begins with media presentation and the website is good and offers the techy younger crowd an avenue to search and learn more about JS. Once curiosity is triggered they might attend a concert which is key to success for musicians today. The younger fans aren’t buying cd’s, their downloading--free. This is where JS holds potential for great revenue in live performance. Once they buy the ticket and attend they are the ones most likely to spend more money or attend another show and buy JS stuff-- advertising!!
So, JS needs to entertain from the minute they walk through the door. Catch their eye with a huge Satch poster at the entrance or music playing. Whatever it takes to engage them from the very beginning. Once seated they’re looking for stage presence; clean, colorful, shapes, deep contrast and instruments--- something to catch their eye and look for the phenom they’ve discovered that no one else knows about.
For the Detroit show the staff wasn’t even wearing JS shirts. On arrival, only the billboard listing outside said JS, nothing else to feed my brain for what it wanted to see and hear. Even the “memorabilia” table was shabby and reminded me of a second rate scam outfit. This is a potential revenue generator and for sure, young people wearing JS shirts triggers new fans. But again, nothing to tempt the appetite to dig in and engage the upcoming performance. If you can engage them before a note of music is played the music will sound that much better and hook the potential fan—the customer, the food on the JS family dinner table.
So, I was escorted to my seat, (front row box) by a nice staff member—probably the classiest part of the show (outside of the guit playing). Next, the stage appearance. The stage was cluttered and colorless (outside of the lights which themselves poor). There is a difference b/t cluttered and drab and “small/quaint” venue. The former a lack of creativity, the latter a potential barn burner.
The warm up band, OMG, I had to check my ticket to see if I was in the right place. JS, unless offering a opener, should by virtue of his years on stage do a solo show with perhaps an intermission. Much like Rush. I took my daughter, 12 y.o., a musician, and a first timer at a JS concert. She looked at me concerned. I think worried that the whole show might be like the opener. I reassured her. However, no disrespect intended to the opening act. They worked hard and gave it their best.
On to the main act. As I recollect, they ran out to positions, no drama, no JS chord. The rhythm guitarist’s instrument was the first guitar I saw. Not well staged or managed. Billed as an ultimate guitarist, the opening should bring him in, if not by site, by sound, organized and not drowned out by poorly managed lighting and support sound. Another quirk was the poor overlit backlighting non-high def. Even the stage equipment was overbearing.
Joe? Well, you are an awesome performer and artist with brilliant stage presence!! A good set list with a mix of the old stuff and new. The old stuff also had refreshing updates. Clearly the problem doesn’t lie with JS, but management. It was as if they threw together a tour for the new release put in a cheap opening act and ran on the road to sell the album. An updated management approach is needed to keep the diehard fans, like me, bring in a new generation of “Alien Surfers”.
Sincerely,
Michael M.

Wow this guy just wrote a thesis.
Yeah, I was hoping that the feel of the concert wouldnt be rushed, and what is up with that new backlight? I found it distracting last time, but once Joe starts shreading all is forgotten Pt. 1 and Pt. 2
Forgive me for my Big Pun...Where my Hip Hopers at?!?!? Holla

Crystal Jammer, I think it depends on the security at the venue. Some ppl can hold a cam up and record every damn song, and others snap a pic and feel a tap on the shoulder. No idea about your venue. In most of the vids I'm seeing from the shows, ppl have either a camera or a phone up in the air. What pisses me off is they allow the phones more than the cameras. I said to a security guy once "Why are you only busting ME when everyone else here is recording too?" His answer was "You have a camera." GRR! I'd take it if I were you. Wait to see how other ppl are doing it, then bust out yer own and go for it.
CHadley, tattoos don't hurt! Yeah, don't ya just love that line? You bet yer sweet bippy they hurt! The one I remembering hurting the most is the biggest one. It's not big per say, maybe 6x6, but the biggest one I have. After about an hour and a half all those nice endorphins wear off and yer tolerance goes to pot. lol! It was on my back shoulder area, and I was holding the front of my chest cause it felt like the needle was coming through. lol! Ahh, good times man, good times! I love tattoos :-) My daughter claims it's the top of her foot that hurt the most.

I am going to thte shpw in Chicago on tomorrow (cant wait) and what I did was called the theater where the concert will be held and asked them. They told me disposables and digital are allowed but no professional cameras, so I suggest you call the place where the venue will be held.
Hope that helps...
I've got my new Sony Cybershot h55 charging up as we speak ..er type...whatever...lol

GottahaveJoe: Just unscrew the nut that holds the trem mount and replace with one from stewart-Macdonald! You have a JS 100? Still a great guitar. Sorry to hear about your freinds and stuff. Most of the freinds i had during highschool did everything possible to leave everyone behind. It's just a mindset some times for folks.
