I think there's a big difference between the blues guitarist on records and the one you hear live. When I was a kid and listened to Clapton records, I liked them but wasn't blown away. Then, the first concert I went to was Eric Clapton and Robert Cray, and my eyes and ears were wide open after that. What I saw that dude do in a live concert blow my mind and I was a believer. More chops, more feeling etc. I'd be interested in hearing Joe live to see if I have a similar experience.
johnny winter was like that. his albums didn't do him justice. his live shows were some of the best i ever saw
I’ve seen him twice, Joe and Beth Hart once. Best shows I’ve ever been to. I have seen almost anyone you could name except the Stones. He is underrated in my opinion, damn good singer also, probably top five singer/ lead guitarist ever.

Met Johnny Winter years ago. Drugs had hold of him.

Alvin Lee & 10 Years After. Saw them 3 times so close you’d get sweat slung on you. Sort of like watching a drag race on TV vs standing by the fence. Alvin could blow your hair beck. And Little Feat. OMG. Watching Lowell George from 15 feet away; ‘“amazing” doesn’t do him justice. With that growl in his voice and blazing guitar. Saw them twice before he died. Another loss to the guitar world. Old memories. Good times.
No fighting, no trash talk. Just mostly polite folks enjoying life. Help was an arms distance away if you needed it. And some folks really did time to time. Unique time.

Threads like this really makes me miss Wheelchair Bandit.
IIRC - Clapton said he knew how he sounded on record because he hated to hear himself over and over again if he made (what he considered) a mistake. It was there forever on tape, even if they didn't use it. He'd cut loose live because then he knew any "mistake" he made - he'd never hear again.
Been forever - like 30 years since I read that interview tho. Don't think I could find it again. I was a huge Clapton and SRV guy when I was a kid.
Brian was a huge Banamassa fan.
I know and he was a good guy to talk Clapton with as well. We had some good Facebook convos about music before I deleted FB. I was in the habit of a Friday night music fest there too.
I'm not saying JB is ass - just that he never met a note he didn't like and that turns me off. I don't get feeling or soul from him like I do others.
I like BB but give me Albert. I like Buddy but give me Muddy etc. Not bad just different.
He and I would get on a chat window and do play by play during the UFC fight nights for hours.

On youtube you can see the documentary, "How One Man Beat the Record Industry" He doesn't want to let the usual suspects siphon his earnings off the top. He may be on his own and funding his own events so he can keep his own money, I can support that!
I've been enjoying his work for years!

This collaboration with Jimmy Barnes is pretty badass.

He is like a studio/session musician.... technically a bad ass but doesn't have the creative soul others do. I'm more of a Warren Haynes type myself but to each their own 👍
