Bonamassa on Jools last night?

[Twinfan]

Anyone else see it?

The man, his signature LP and a 50w Marshall Vintage Modern quarter stack.  Sounded less like JB than he usually does (obviously, with no 4 amp rig!) but I thought he sounded great and played superbly.  Shame his vocals were really quiet  :(

Can't believe he only played one song (Lonesome Road Blues) and they let Marianne Faithfull play three  :roll:

[Ian Price]

I saw it, thought his tone was awesome with such a simple set up. I felt the same way about others playing more songs. I didn't get angry but was annoyed that others got more. Doves were boring, Marianne Faithful was pretty poor, Noisettes weren't great and Joe stole the show. Did you see the smile on Jools' face when he was playing along? He obviously was enjoying himself a lot so I'm surprised there wasn't more of Joe. That's bloody producers for you.

Where can I watch it?

[Twinfan]

Don't think it's online anywehre yet, Will.

Ian - Jools was loving it wasn't he?  :)

[Johnny Mac]

I'll see if my BT Vision has it on TV Replay  :D

[shobet]

I effing missed it. Tried iPlayer but it's the short version without him! How $%&#ing annoying BBC. Hopefully they'll put the extended version up sooner or later. 

[Johnny Mac]

Well BT Vision came up trumps! Bloody hell he is a fantastic player! I've never seen him play before, check out the thumb technique, very nice. The way he played in sync with the brass section was great and a tone to die for.
So what the amp and pickups?

Here's a tone insight   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrU20Mko-C0&feature=PlayList&p=927F64928C772895&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=42

I quite like Doves, they can be very relaxing driving in traffic with the proverbial shite hitting the fan.

Marianne faithful's voice has been shot to pieces by fags and sounds flat and toneless.

[Twinfan]

Amp was a Marshall Vintage Modern 50w and matching 2x12 (by the look of it, not his usual rig).  The guitar is the first Bonamassa Inspired By guitar and is stock I believe (Gibson BB pickups)

Sounds lovely. Are they low output pickups?

I just had a read of his interview in Guitarist, interesting stuff.

Anyone going to his live shows?

[Ian Price]

I just had a read of his interview in Guitarist, interesting stuff.

I thought he came across as very humble and genuine. I'm liking him more every time I see him play or read an interview with him.

Agree on Faithful's voice - pretty shocking!

He really looked like the cat that got the cream. Interesting comment he made just before he started playing. Almost sounded like Jools hadn't really heard of him before Clapton suggested him.

[38thBeatle]

Joe is brilliant live. Plays a great show in my opinion and his most recent album is pretty damn good I reckon.

[Andrew W]

There's a version on iPlayer with Mr Bonnamassa now.

Clicky

Ooohy lovely, and what tone!

I'm really looking forward to the gig on the 23rd now. :)

i saw it, was very good. Bit annoyed (understatement!) that he only got one song, though. I wasn't too fussed on the tone, though... I didn't realise it was a vintage modern at the time, that'd go some way to explaining it, though (i really didn't like the one i tried). :)

EDIT: did anyone see the live Jools last Tuesday? I missed it, I'm assuming Joe wasn't on it? I only saw the extended one last night...
