R. Griswold Wrote the perfect review in November 2013. The San Antonio show last night started off great. The first hour was well done and we could hear and enjoy. Then the show ramped up during the electronic portion power, power, power and a muddled sound really taking away from the enjoyment of the experience.....Sound board help IS DRASTICALLY needed. I mean anyone who has knowledge of sound knows that loudness and volume are two separate animals. I would never fault a show where a performer pours his heart out for two and half hours but there was a problem with the production and it seems to to ongoing. DON'T STAY AWAY FROM THIS SHOW JOE B. IS WORTH THE MONEY TO SEE HIM!

SAW JOE AT SONY CTR TORONTO WED NOV 16
This is the 3rd time I've seen Joe. This was the least entertaining.
First the acoustics were off. You could barely here the backup singers, bass guitar, or
brass over Joe playing his guitar. Then throughput the show the volume got louder
to the point it was almost painful.
The guitar work was still outstanding and a pleasure to listen too. I also wish he
would have played some of his earlier work. This would have made the show more
palatable.
To me the worst was the Zeppelin cover. He has more than a dozen albums it was
dumb to play a Zeppelin cover for your closing song before the encore. I came to
hear Joe not Zep.

VERY POOR SOUND CONTROL
Expected a better sound. Too loud and could not hear vocals.
Guitars and band - very good performance!

JOE BONAMASSA QE THEATRE VANCOUVER NOV29, 2018
Sadly, this highly anticipated show was mediocre at best. The band, smoking hot players. Joe, a technical genius with great, soulful vocals. The sound, well, stunk and I was right behind the mixing board. I thought I had a problem with my ears and they needed a song or two to adjust. Nope. My main issue was that the bass player was way too loud for about 70% of the concert. Also, during certain songs the show was just too loud. (This theatre holds about 3000). During many songs there seemed to be a sonic fight between the Hammond organ, the bass player and Joe's guitars. Joe lost every time except during solo's which were excellent.
As usual, the back up singers were excellent but you couldn't hear them for about 50% of the show.
I was also disappointed by the lack of on stage chemistry between the band. This made it seem to me like a Vegas show that musicians play night after night just focusing on playing their part.
For a $130 ticket, the sound needs to be much better than that

LOUD ≠ GOOD
11/23/18 Long Beach: The person/s responsible for the sound must have turned the
volume nob to 11 and left for the evening. What a disservice to Joe and his talented,
veteran band, not to mention the audience. Joe's lyrics were nearly impossible to
hear, or understand. A six-hour drive, both ways, and two nights in a hotel for our first
Bonamassa concert left our expectations unfulfilled. The music ( did I mention LOUD,?)
we heard at the concert wasn't even close to that on Joe's well-mixed DVDs such as
"Live at the Greek Theater", or Amsterdam.
Joe is the most talented guitarist on the planet and we intend to attend more of his
concerts - we'll just limit them to outdoor venues. In the meantime we'll continue
buying and listening to Joe's CDs and DVDs.

JOE AT LONG BEACH
we have gone to see Joe 5 previous times>every show was fantastic, until last
night.the first 3 songs were way to load and no balance between instruments and
singing.after that balance was restored but still to load for a inside venue.just turned
down about 10 % would have been prefect.

THE PA BASS RUINED THE SHOW
The bass was set so loud by the sound guys that I was unable to clearly hear the lyrics, the horns, the drums... yes the drums and the back-up singers. The bass got louder as the night progressed. I had in ear plugs which muffled most of the high end sound, thus ruining the music. Paid a premium for tickets and the sound techs ruined the performance. All of those in my group had the same complaint. It was a horrible experience over all. Joe was fantastic as were all the band members. But the sound techs were crap. We could only imagine what a decent mix would have been like.
