I hope you read this, Joe. Today, I have been playing my guitar with a great deal of sorrow. I have arthritis in my hands and wrists as a result of being badly poisoned with a pesticide. I was on the cusp of giving up and turning my guitar into a wall ornament until I heard you playing. It was then I realised that music comes from the soul, not from the hands. My hands are an instrument, too. It gave me the guts to carry on. Thank you, Joe. Thank you.

Can anyone imagine what B.B. King would think and say about little Joey B. If he was sitting in the front row of J.B.’s concerts….. I think, B.B. would just smile….with incredible pride and respect, maybe a tear or two….thanks B.B. for giving this little kid from New York a chance….the world is a better place because of You and Joey B…..amen..!

Yes indeed!

From the moment the first note from the trumpet player danced gracefully into the air to the final chord that lingered in the soul, it was pure magic. Your collaboration with the live orchestra was nothing short of breathtaking. The seamless fusion of your guitar prowess with the symphonic grandeur left me utterly spellbound. It was more than just a performance-it was a symphony of passion and creativity that touched the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to witness it. Thank you so much I enjoyed every second, what a masterpiece!😍

Thank you to Joe, the musicians, the singers and all the sound crew / techs. This was a beautiful and emotional performance ..I think “back in the day” they would call this timeless.

Wow what a soulful, heartfelt, performance. He brought the best out of EVERY single musician on stage

I haven't heard powerful blues like this since forever.Glad I happened on your music today.This music is like a prayer for my sadness....,..... Beautiful.

I NEVER get tired of hearing and watching videos of him play the same ones, but THIS is such a beautiful and ‘refreshing’ new song of his! I hope I’ll be able to see him perform live this year - IF he comes to NJ or NYC and when I’m not traveling. *** I saw Elton John’s ‘Farewell’ concert 2 X’s, Coldplay, TTB, AND also had tic’s for Clapton, Alicia Keys, Santana and Zucchero - all within the last couple years but couldn’t get ANYONE that wanted to go with me to the last 4, AND I even paid for 1st row/stage floor seats. Go figure… Hopefully I won’t miss out on seeing Joe! 🤞 ✝️

It's taken 34 years for a guitarist to fill the hole in my soul left by the death of SRV. I'm finally and completely healed. The soul, the touch, and OMG that tone. 4/22/24 update. Lots of replies to my post, thanks folks. One thing I failed to mention before is that Joe could have hired any handful of talented keyboardists but he went with Reese Wynans. You have to think in some small way that alone is Joe's respect for SRV and Double Trouble's legacy. God it's good to see Reese still playing so well at 76.

I’m not saying that ‘white’ folks can’t play it well though (I’m a 70ish Caucasian female myself).

SRV and Walter Trout (it was in a duet with Beth Hart that I found him) are also among my top rated 🎸 🎤 artists for their style of music.

Why is that? Design flaw? Reminds me of the Sydney Opera House. As stunning as it is architecturally, It's an acoustical nightmare, and it was designed (obviously) as an opera venue! They had to invest millions after it first opened, to improve the acoustics, and I understand they're still not ideal. In addition, it's slowly sinking into the bay, but that's another issue!

Glaubst du das? Ich habe mich gerade auch gefragt was wir zu sehen bekommen - am 9.04 in Köln 🧐 Letztes Jahr war ich ehrlich gesagt ziemlich enttäuscht, weil vieles Wiederholung war vom Konzert im vorletzten Jahr 😕 ich habe gedacht, dass ich vielleicht ein Jahr doch Pause mache, und im Endeffekt fährt meine ganze Familie mit, weil es zu weit weg ist 🤷🤷 Beim Joe ist man eben irgendwie süchtig. Ich hoffe sehr dass es was neues gibt, oder wenn was altes ( was auch ja toll ist ), dann keine Wiederholung vom letzten Jahr ☝️

я помню, как вы однажды мне рассказали про операцию на горле и только сегодня я увидела ваш шрам на горле слева, но ничто не может вас испортить , когда вы играете на гитаре и поёте, вы мастер блюза и я люблю вас🤩 уже давно и желаю вам долгих творческих успехов С уважением ваш фанат навеки!! 🤗🥰
