New Lithograph “Midnight Blues” Sold Out?

midnight-blues-lithograph

Got an email earlier today about the new lithograph “Midnight Blues”, which is the seventh in the series. Features Joe ripping up a solo on one of his Les Paul’s. Tried to access the link to Joe’s store to see if there were any available and guess what.. link does not work! Appears that the lithograph is now no longer available on the website. Only 100 of each lithograph is sold, which makes it a collector’s item. The price of the lithograph is not a bad deal at all. I’ve heard several people talking about the price, but for $399 you’re getting a lot. Take into consideration that the photo itself has to get matted and framed. This is not done by a local rag shop, it’s professionally framed. Plus, you’re getting two tickets and meet n’ greet passes. The tickets you get from purchasing lithographs are very good seats. They’re not up in the nose bleeds. With ticket prices rising, scalpers going nuts, purchasing a lithograph is a smart way to secure good seats. The meet n’ greet is awesome too. Up and close with Joe, he will take photos with you, sign any item. He is one of the most down to earth people. That’s just my two cents. Congrats to all of those who were lucky enough to snag #7.

Some Clips From Live At The Beacon

Just found some more clips from the Beacon DVD on YouTube. DVD looks like it will be great. I’m still wondering why Sloe Gin and Ballard of John Henry are not on the DVD. Maybe they will surprise us and include them in the special features on the Bonus DVD.

Hope you enjoy the clips of Mountain Time and Fire and Water with Paul Rodgers. Less than a month to go. Only a limited amount of time left to get your preorder in with one of our limited packages. Make sure you place your preorder today.
