Joe, Awesome performance. I really like how you played Always with you, Always with me. We had a great time listening to you play. We came down from Tempe, AZ to see you. When we found out about you being in Tucson it was too late to get on the list to meet you. My fiance (Bubbles) and her two daughters have met you and been to so many of your shows. I've seen you this time and one other time at the G3 show in Phoenix last year. That was a great time. I am looking forward to the next time. Watch out for those shocking mic's.....

Dear Joe: How are you? the show was an awesome hit!! :) Thanx soooo much!! Do you remember the little girl in the picture here on your website at the Sun Theater on May 15, 2000 at the Engines of Creation Tour? That was me!! I remember that concert like it was yesterday!! Thank you for signing my guitar!

Right before you got on stage at the Guitars ect. we were hanging around by your bus!! I was going to knock on the door to say "Hi". But then you were coming out of the bus and I ran around!! I am your biggest fan, when my mom puts on any of your C.D. 's I can memorize the whole entire song. My mom will ask us what the title is and I am able to tell her!! You played a song that's my mom's favorite at the show Friday night. It's Always with me, Always with you!! I was thinking about having you playing at my mom's wedding in California on October 16. Then I was thinking maybe not, you might be on tour somewhere else. I play the Violin. I think that I am really good and my parents think so too. :) Thats All You Rock!! Chelsea (Little Bubbles)

Joe: infinite thanks from me and my family. Tonight was really great. My son treasures the autographed poster. Now that I've heard the final version of the JSX, I have yet another toy to purchase. It sounds great! Have a great time with the rest of your clinics and in Europe.

Simply awesome!! The folks at Guitars Etc. were kind enough to take my name for the autograph session via phone as I live in the UK, but planned a trip to AZ around this performance. We arrived a wee bit early and chatted with a few fellow fans as the outdoor stage was completed - then a treat - Joe's sound check - he spoke to several of us while this was going on. The rep for Guitars Etc. explained how the autograph/meet & greet session would commence and then Joe appeared promptly at 7...almost an hour of music, only haulted a few times by a power outtage (he joked with the crowd as this was corrected explaining that when performing live anything can and will happen) and then getting shocked by a mike (poor guy)...prior to most of the songs (old and new) he talked about which guitar he would be using and why he used that particular one (many were developed by & for him). Not more than 5 minutes after the performance all the listers were asked to make a line (it wasn't perfect, but we all were so merry we could care less) then after our names were checked from the list we entered the store and chatted with guitar experts as we made our way closer to Joe. JOE - nice, personable, down to earth - signed several autographs for me and my UK group (still home and seething with envy), my nephew (who also attended) and his friend...he took time to talk with us and pose for pictures (even with a finicky camera)...I had the pleasure of meeting one of his management staff and we spoke of possible future endeavors.

All in all it was one of the best experiences of my life and my 13 year old nephew will also never forget meeting our guitar legend in person.

Thank you, Joe!!!
