Not necessarily a new video, but definitely a classic. Joe played on stage with Gov’t Mule in Chicago during October of 2009. They played Albert King’s “Feel Like Breaking Up Somebody’s Home.” Warren and Joe need to collaborate on more projects. Two of the best guitar plays on one stage, priceless indeed. Shall we take bets on how long it will be before Joe and Warren work together again? Joe covered If Heartaches Were Nickels on his first studio release, A New Day Yesterday.

Joe and Rock Candy Funk Party played at the Baked Potato last night. Two sold out crowds were in attendance. Also spotted in the audience was Steve Perry (Journey), Adrian Smith (Iron Maiden), and Dave Amato (REO Speedwagon).
Rock Candy Funk Party consists of Arlan Schierbaum (Keys), Ron DeJesus (guitar), Mike Merritt (Bass), Joe Bonamassa (Guitar), and Tal Bergman (Drums). Joe’s good friend Beth Hart came out for a few numbers last night. They played an eleven minute version of I’d Rather Go Blind (Etta James) with Beth Hart on vocals.. just killer!
They also played Crossroads, which is a great song. Last time we heard Joe do this song was when he had Eric Johnson join him on stage in Texas late 2011. Beth Hart also came up during the first set to sing For My Friend. Were you there last night? Comment on this post and share you experience.. I will post more YouTube videos as they come up. Many thanks to Rick Beck for recording last night. Until next time…
More YouTube videos……
