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.

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!

Tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday, Joe will be playing the legendary Beacon Theater in NYC. Both nights will be shot for the live DVD. I’ve also heard t hat each night will have its own special guests. Each show will be different. Saturday is completely sold out, but you can still find a few people selling tickets. Too bad they won’t be able to make it!
Friday still has some seats available. Pretty positive that Friday will be a sell out too. Tickets will go quickly before each show, during the day. No word on who the special guests will be as of yet, but less than 24 hours from now, I will be at the Beacon! I will be there for both shows, tweeting live from the Bonamassa Live Twitter. So if you’re not following the fan website now on twitter, it’s time to follow! You don’t want to miss the pictures and tweets from both of the Beacon Shows.
