I had to travel a long long way to see Joe (CROATIA). But when I stood there (1.st row) everything was forgotten.I just stared at the man himself and I was blown away.It's true that it was very hot,and he was late,but we all had an exelent time. He played alot of stuff from the new album,and I was happy about it,but alot of people didn't know the new songs so he didn't get much crowd action and response as he did with the "classics".Starry night was exelent.He was sitting at the time he played it.All in all,that was the best concert I have ever seen. P.S.--Joe I love you,but you guys have to work on MIND STORM.

I've seen Joe for the first time live and I can tell that this was the greatest musical experience I've ever had. Joe's simply fantastic you could see every note on his face: he and the guitar are one entity. 50 minutes' late was a bit embarrassing but he compensated us! I loved Crushing Day very much mostly the end part but the new songs are perfect live! Cool#9 made me feel awesome with the frenetic sounding.

wow! just a great show. really really nice. i found the outro part of crush of love simply amazing. that was sooo cool. the only disappointing thing was, that the "improvised" song parts seem to be the same since the san francisco dvd show. raspberry jam delta ended the same way, he played the same fills at ice 9, even the crowd-answer-game was at the end of surfing with the alien. the new songs rocked!!!! jeff seemed a bit nerved at FIABD. a very impressing show!

Great performance. Great setlist. Great heat. Great Joe. Everything great except the sound - the rythm section was there, sillent but though, but Galen was there only physically, I guess. Mind storm live was disappointing - poor sound. But version of Starry Night was more than satisfying! Thank you Joe, brother of soul.

Superb gig. Its the third time I've seen satch live. As always he gave a great show as did mat b and jeff c. I don't think there was actually a single time when I heard glen hansens rythm guitar. Enjoyed the sit down numbers after the interval. especially starry night. And whats more, I was fortunate enough to have back stage passes afterwards (yeah!!). Satch is a really nice guy, so I've got a signed cd and back stage pass and a js pic and a nice photo with joe. What more can you say. i was really impressed by his relaxed attitude.

One point to the organisers, though. Why the planet music, it was way to small. And so friggin hot you couldn't breath.

a great show! the band was cool, and joe of course was stellar. seeing him the first time certainly was a major thrill. my own personal highlights of the show would have to be ´i believe´, and the incredible performance of ´strarry night´, one of joes all time greatest songs.. i wish i could have won the backstage passes... maybe next time.. thanks to joe and the boys for a spectacular concert!

Joe, you are not a human, before I've seen you live, I just thought that you are an Alien, but now after this concert I'm sure about this !

It was the best concert in my life till now, thank you for this treat !
