    He'll probably throw in a bit of Rory Gallagher and Gary Moore too.

    No football on either night so we won't be missing a potential knock out tie should Ireland make it out of the group.

    Edit: Actually Ireland could be playing on the 30th if they finish 3rd and win the Second Round tie.

    By God that was value for money......what an incredible performance!!!:eek:

    The guy just keeps getting better and better.:eek:.... loved every minute of it I must say!!

    Vicar Street is probably my favourite venue ......sound is great and shows are always a bit special, was pleasantly surprised at the lack of nattering and mobiles which made it all the more enjoyable too!!;)

    A legend in the making......thanks Joe!;)

    I wish I was in the same area as you :(, near me there was this bollox with an annoying laugh, honestly I wanted to strangle him and this other lad was TALKING VERY LOUDLY, it was only noticeable during the quiet bits but still why do people bother to pay 50 euro in and then don't listen, idiots.

    He started very early, I arrived in at 8.05 and he had just started, I was surprised the setlist was covers only, I thought he would throw in a few of his own songs, I don't know a whole lot of Clapton/Beck/Page material, the only song I knew was Spanish Boots, but still it was brilliant, the band were solid and Joe is one of the best guitarists in the world, I loved every minute despite not knowing much of the songs and having a few idiots in my presence.

    Hope he brings the BCC lads with him when he comes back again.

    Would love to go again tonight. Sold out.

    Great gig. Won't spoil the set but he did include a few JB songs. Delighted to have seen him live and in such a small venue.
    Didn't know the majority of the songs but it didn't bother me in the slighest. Just great music for over 2 hours.

    No merch on sale was a bummer for the 1st night. Also I wonder if they band will have a backdrop in place for tonight.

    Going tonight, have been a fan for probably 10 or more years now. Have every studio album he's done bar the most recent, which I just haven't got round to getting. Also have 2 of the BCC albums, one of the Beth Hart albums and the Vienna acoustic one.
    Saw him live for the first time last year, went to Cardiff on my own and it was a great show. Will be nice to share it with friends and family tonight.
    Hes as good as it gets.

    Great gig, band were amazing, and Joe is simply a ridiculously talented guitarist.
    I've been a fan many years, love his stuff, so it was different to hear him playing what was by and large covers (yes I know he does a lot of these in general, but you know what I mean!) I wouldn't have known a lot of the songs, but the guitar work on them just makes that irrelevant. He makes the songs his own regardless.
    Only complaint was that the vocals on some of the louder tunes were a little hard to discern, wasn't expecting that at this venue. Joe is a great vocalist as well, so it must have been to do with the setup at the venue. I heard him last October in a big venue in Cardiff and the vocals were first class, you could make out every word easily.
    Only a small issue tho. He's a musical hero of mine and it was a privilege to hear him play in such a small, atmospheric arena.
    Delighted to have had that chance.

    Got caught out by them starting on the button. Stuck towards the back for a while amongst the talkers, why would people go to a gig and talk all through it. Considering the volume some were shouting to each other, unbelievable!

    Still, what a fantastic night. They really went for it, Joe really has a great band around him now. There was definitely a bit of an issue with the vocals, but it didn't really matter considering the quality of the music.
