Joe Bonamassa @ The Arches, Glasgow 28th February 2008.
Guitar wizard Joe Bonamassa rolled into Glasgow and filled The Arches with a wall of sound that not many will ever equal. He said that his love affair with the city started two years ago at The Renfrew Ferry. I was one of the 125 fortunate souls to see him that night and I’m not surprised that this time around it was an 800 sell out. He has improved his rapport with the crowd although they could have been a little more respectful during some of the quieter periods when Joe pleaded with them for silence. His guitar prowess has also improved and I am convinced that he has now reached the higher echelon of players. The highlight of the night was the title track from his current album, Sloe Gin although Don’t Burn Down That Bridge and Another Kind Of Love rubber stamped the feeling that we were in the presence of something special. Throw in a version of ZZ Top’s Just Got Paid and you can imagine the night we had.
