This concet was out of this world and made me want to pick my guitar up and play all the briliant songs you played (of course I could'nt) keep the good work up.

i don't give a 10, because i prefer to give it to the gig i've seen in october 95....it was the first time i saw Joe! I was in a blue dream but still now after this great show!!! I've found a pick that joe throw in the room and my other frenchy friends too!!!! I'm so excited it is the date they have choosed for the DVD... I hope we 'll find it in France!! Thanks Joe, Jeff, Stu and Eric for this amazing show and to all people who work with you, guys!!

Finally i wanna give a 12, is it possible? it doesn't matter, what we feel can't be ranked!!!

WOW>>>>>>It's taken this many days to recoup from the show!!!! *Laughing* Joe, may I just take this opportunity to thank you for being not only a great showman but also a fantastic person. We were fortunate enough to get right in front of you, I mean RIGHT IN FRONT!!!!! I think you even dripped a bit of Satch Sweat on us...*Laughing* We are trying to clone you with the DNA as we speak!!!!!! Joe, what a show!!!!!! I have to thank Stu, Jeff and Eric for one kickin' job also.....ERIC, your one hell of a shot with those picks!!!! I was the one you tossed 2 at and hit right in the palm of my hand and my buddy Kevin also grabbed one from you.....TOO COOL.....Joe, you dropped one right into my hand after you shredded up another song......I have to tell you that I gave one of the picks to the Mother/Son behind us......the kid has been playing for 4+ years now and he idolizes you....It was the least I could do.....amazing to see how much a small token such as a pick will do for a kid....I couldn't have given it to him without you guys....Thanks also for the Aftershow passes from the website!!!!!! We ended up taking pictures with Joe and Stu after the show, I'll forward them to your webmaster as soon as I scan them. Again, Webmaster, thanks for doing your part to get me those Aftershow passes....I owe you a Christmas card for next year, hell, your all on my Christmas list!! *Laughing again*.....My buddy Kevin and I look forward to the DVD release and wish you guys the very best this New Year....thanks again for being who you are guys, Your incredible!!!!!!!

Howdy Joe and fellow fanatics! What a great show! After seeing the Warfield show earlier this year, I hadn't expected to see Joe again for a while. Then this kinda popped up, my buddy Mark had never seen Joe live, and there we were! The Fillmore is kinda funny (no seats at all on the floor) but we were in the 2nd layer of fans, right in front of Stu. Never been that close before - absolutely fabulous! Never knew Stu played the bass line AND the melody on "Always With Me, Always With You" while Joe's doin' his Lead thing!!! Joe, you were scorching! Never heard you sound better (though I think your mixing guy doesn't like Eric - couldn't hear him except for during "Borg Sex"). My friend Mark just could not say enough about your amazing abilities. I really don't like the Fillmore venue much - too small, and people always trying to step in front of you for a better view. Still, the show was great (did I already mention that?). Also, you gotta love the way these guys play off the crowd and get so involved in what the audience is doing - how many other acts even bother? Oh yeah - I'm glad you liked my jester hat Joe - made my whole year when you pointed and said so - thanks for noticing and caring enough to show that you noticed. You're the best!

I think the DVD is bound to be AWESOME, this was My third Joe show, and Best Yet! The intimate size and great acoustics made "The Fillmore" My new favorite concert venue in the Bay Area! The stage had a translucent blue, alien like look that will look Great on DVD! The 5 cameras that I counted should make for an excellent Dvd experience too! Of course Joe was ON, as usual! Regardless of My own Flu & Fever, He Made Me want to get closer to his energy. Thanks to the Cameras and all I approached the left side of the stage, "Joes Side" as I called it. By using My Fever induced, zombie-looking state to my advantage, I wormed my way 10' from the stage & directly in front of Joe! Except for 1 annoying woman raising her arms and dancing like she was at a DEAD SHOW, My view was perfect. I tried to physically put her offending right arm down, while verbally expressing My feelings to NO effect, so I shifted right in time for Stu's solo. I stayed there and let Joe move My spirit, to that level only he can touch. I found tears welling up in my eyes 1 minute, then extreme joy & happiness the next, until Joes rollercoaster ride was over. Can't wait to see the DVD! Thank You Joe, not since Randy Rhoads, has a guitarist been able to touch me that deeply! Keep it up, You are something Special!!

This was the best show that I have ever been to. First off, he plays the best he can for the dvd, and second he picks out the best selection from his many songs that he has performed over the years. The one song that I was glad to hear was the one off of Dreaming #11. I can't remember which one it was but I knew it was from that album. It sounded great live. It might have been The Crush of Love-I don't know. It was one of those songs that were designed with a live show in mind. The new music off of EOC was excellent as well. Every one of the new songs came out great with a little tweeking on each. The Filmore was awsome and you could tell Joe was proud of the performance when he said goodnight. I was suprised to see Stu go off on his solo for so long. It was really neat to see all of the others leave the stage and let him go off into Stuie-Stuie land and create a solo primarily for the crowd. It was awsome. Jeff was awsome on drums all night long giving every song the support that it needed. One of the nice things about the Filmore is that you can see the performers, and I could often see Jeff with a big smile after a unique rif by Joe. The tickets were my B-Day presents, and I couldn't ask for anything better than this.

This was the 8th time I've seen Joe, and he never ceases to amaze me. I've seen lots of bad ass Guitar players over the past 23yrs. Eddie Van Halen, Steve Morse, Micheal Schenker and George Lynch just to name a hand full, but Joe is the best of the best. No one can touch this guy. If there is a Guitar God it is Joe without a doubt. The show was awsome once again. I can't wait to see the DVD.

Another great show from Joe! I'd give it an 11 if I could. The set was the same as the first night's show...check out my review on the other page for the details. The sound was excellent, there weren't any problems like there were the first night. I got third row center again, right behind the guys with the cool light sign. The band was really impressive and very tight. Jeff threw in some fills that were different from the first night, he sounded great. It was his birthday too, Happy Birthday Jeff! Joe added a cool introduction to Summer Song, which closed the first set. The crowd was great, they seemed to pick up right where they left off from the first night. This show was filmed for the DVD, there were cameras all over. I can't wait for it to come out, it was another incredible performance by Joe and the band. ...Austin...
