Joe Bonamassa Reviews

Bert from Toronto, Ontario

BONAMASSA IS THE REAL DEAL

Great show in Toronto at the Sony Centre. This is one of my favourite venues because it's not too big but not too small that it can't attract great musicians. There were no complaints in the sound system there as were noted in other venues for his shows. Bonamassa is an outstanding blues player. He has all the licks that the legendary Blues players had before him. Think SRV with his keyboard player, horns and female backup vocalists and that's what you get with his current tour. He plays fast, loud, slow, soft - all with great emotion. In an era where so many pop and hip hop stars entertain you without playing any musical instruments, it's so refreshing to watch someone perform who has mastered an instrument and music genre and takes his whole expression to another level. Without the help of promotion or radio play, this guy is selling out tours everywhere. He gives me a lot of faith that rock is still alive and still matters in this world

JOE BONAMASSA QUEEN E. THEATRE

Joe was fantastic, slick, focused and charismatic but unfortunately the sound tech needed to tweak the board and failed to do so. Could'nt hear his vocals very well and sometimes lost the guitar. The players on stage were amazing and the back up singers great. Overall the show was well worth seeing and I will go again. Keep on rockin it Joe !

AWSOME SHOW IN TORONTO NOV 3 2018

First time seeing Joe for me and my brothet. Only complaint is wish he'd played a bit more to his left on stage and a drum solo would have beern nice. Just discovered him this year but will definitely see him again. Just a 5 minute walk from the train station in heart of Toronto.

AUG 1 AT THE GREEK

All was good except ugly, BRIGHT lights that kept shining into my eyes (the audience) just as I'm trying to concentrate on Joe playing great solos - bad, avoidable distractions - yuck

JOE WAS GREAT....BUT

We drove down from Dallas to see Joe in concert May 25. Joe, the band and singers were terrific. The sound was meh. Not sure this is a great venue for big amps. The quality of the sound was lacking. Then there was the heat. It was absolutely sweltering in the Moody. They finally turned the air on toward the end of the concert.

WOULD HAVE GIVEN 5 STARS, BUT MISSED FIRST 15 MINUTES

Joe B is phenomenal. No questions asked. But we were so disappointed having missed the first 15 minutes because of his production company's rules regarding admittance into the FOX theater and promptly starting at 8:00 p.m. Attendees could get no further than the lobby because JB production company disallowed admittance into the main theater until a set time. Consequently there was a human traffic jam that couldn't budge because the doors remained closed until minutes before the concert. Lines outside were down the block on both sides of the FOX. The production company should have realized it was a sold out show and made accommodations to permit earlier entry. What harm is there to permit ticket holders to find their seats an hour or more before the show starts. Thank goodness the weather was nice even though it was November in Michigan. Otherwise, having to wait 45 minutes outside would have been a major bummer.

MORE VOCALS

While Joe is a truly gifted guitarist, he underutilizes his equally gifted voice. The guitar riffs seemed to run togather and after a while sounded alike. More vocals, less instrumentals, please
