Yesterday it finally arrived, the day I have been longing for for so long. Ever since I, at company party got a text from a colleague. This text only said "Joe Bonamassa".
Fra den dagen fikk jeg en ny helt, og nei det var ikke min kollega :-), men en fantastisk gitarist. Joe med sin musikk som ligger i grenselandet mellom blues og tung rock, har en helt spesiell twist som gjør det virkelig bra.
From this day I had a brand new hero, and no, it was not my colleague :-), but a fantastic guitarist. Joes music, which is boarderline between blues and heavy rock, has a quite unique touch that makes it real god.
I går kom mannen til Trondheim og Nidaros Blues, billetter ble kjøpt innenfor 1 time etter at de ble lagt ut (i fjor) så jeg har hatt noen måneder å glede meg på. Og jeg var overbevist om at denne konserten kommer til å være en av de beste konsertopplevelsen i 2011. Både Astrid og jeg gledde oss masse.
Yesterday the man came to Trondheim and Nidaros Blues, tickets was purchased within the hour after the release last year, so I have had months to look forward to this. And I was convinced that this would be one of the greatest concerts experiences in 2011. Both Astrid and me were really excited
Mitt første sjokk fikk jeg da han tidlig i showet spilte "midnight hour" som er en av låtene jeg forbinder veldig sterkt med min avdøde helt Gary Moore, så for meg ble dette en spesiell opplevelse.
Gitar-soloene, som flere ganger ble spilt uten annen komp enn bakgrunns-keyboard - var helt magiske. Jeg glemte faktisk å digge musikk, jeg bel stående helt fjetret og bare stirre og nyte, innimellom med et stort smil om munnen.
And - WOW!! What a man, what guitar-riffs, what an interaction, what an energy!!!
My first shock cam when he early during te show played "midnight hour", which is one of the songs that I connect to my departed hero Gary Moore, so for me this song was a very special treath.
The guitar-solos was often played without any other comp than a low keaboard in the background. Actually, sometimes I forgot to dig the music, I just stood there, captured by the guitar-playing, enjoying it and often with a big smile on my face.
Joe kan se ut som en tørr og kjedelig revisor, men i dette tilfellet kan man vel si at utseendet ikke stemmer med virkeligheten.
Joe might look like a boring accountant by first look, but in this case looks can deceive.
I was on the second row, or inbetween 2 on the first row, and I had the best view of Joe and his guitars. Ye, I know this is not where you get the best sound, but this is where you see the entire show, and I could really see his guitar-playing. And, I got a pick, which is now keeping my other picks company on my wall :-)
I still haven't landed after this concert, and i recon it will take days before I can fully absorbe the concert, and then start looking for the next JB concert so that I can have this experience again.
Hvis dette setter standarden for resten av året, ja da har vi mye å se fram til.
If this sets the standard for the rest of the year, we really got something to look forward to.
