I had the pleasure to see Joe Bonamassa Tuesday night at Durham Performing Arts Center, In NC. Great show with wonderful Acoustics. When you do as we do as Audiophiles, it really gives us a keen sense of perception as to what we are actually hearing. When you hear a live performance it places your listening senses at a even higher level. BTW, I had a very good buzz!! I picked up on a few things that were not right, but all in all fantastic. I think it is a valuable tool (live Performance) to use with our at "home listening" for proper evaluation of what we attempt to accomplish. Bonamassa was born in upstate NY, my hometown of Utica. Friends saw him in his garage when he was 14. Child Prodigy, played with BB King at 12 years old. He is at the top of his game. His voice has matured further, Riff after incredible Riff for 2.5 hours of shear pleasure. If anyone gets the chance to see him, he will not disappoint.
