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.

If you’re in LA tonight for NAMM, do not miss this! Head on over to the House of Blues where Eric Johnson will be playing. Sitting in with Eric tonight will be Joe Bonamassa. Not sure on how many songs Joe will play, but I imagine it will be several. Joe and Eric last got together in late 2011 while Joe toured through Texas! This is a last minute surprise, posted on Joe’s Facebook moments ago. Hope you can make it.

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……

Yesterday marked the 10th anniversary of Joe’s first live DVD shoot, A New Day Yesterday Live. The DVD was shot on December 21, 2001 at Piere’s in Fort Wayne, Indiana. A lot has changed since then, this was Joe’s only show where he played with women dancing on stage. He’s moved on from the bar scene, he no longer drives around in an astro van and trailer. Even though Joe did not have a big production team like he does now back then, Joe’s sound was still dead on. Some of you who have been Joe fans for years will agree. It was not rare to see Joe standing behind the soundboard mixing the sound to just the way he likes it. Hope everyone has a great holiday season and I know I’m looking forward to the next ten years of Joe’s career!

Joe Bonamassa will be returning to the legendary Baked Potato in Studio City for his third appearance with Rock Candy Funk Party. Joe, Tal, and the band will be blowing the roof off on January 17th. Two shows are scheduled for the date, with the first show being 09:30 and the second being 11:30. Tickets are only $26, available directly from the venue’s website. Tickets are very limited and sell out quickly. Not a show you want to miss, you’ll get to see Joe and Tal play tunes they wouldn’t be playing on a normal night. See the video below from the last time Rock Candy Funk Party played at the Baked Potato.

Well, the guitar is not literally on fire… Joe never ceases to amaze me with this song. It just continues to get better and better. The video above is from a recent show in Bakersfield, CA. If this song is played any faster, you would literally see the smoke coming from his guitar. Enjoy this version of Woke Up Dreaming in HD!

We posted a few weeks back that we heard Joe’s live DVD recorded at the Beacon Theater would be released in early 2012. Kevin Shirley posted another update today on his Facebook.
“Finished mixing the Bonamassa Beacon concert in stereo yesterday. Mixing some bonus material today, an Iron Maiden song on Friday then the Beacon concert in surround sound next week, and that, my friends, will be the end of a very busy year for a Caveman! Christmas this year will be in Australia with my family and next year looks even busier….. Hang on – it might get bumpy!”
Looking forward to this release. I was at both shows (I’m sure you know!) and Joe played great both nights! Stay tuned for more details as we get them..
