Joe Bonamassa In Concert
Show Date: March 5, 2019
Venue: Knoxville, Tennessee, Civic Auditorium and Coliseum

Anyone who has never seen Joe Bonamassa in concert is certainly missing out on one of the best shows by one of the best Photo by Alisa Cherryentertainers actively performing today.

That is no exaggeration, folks.

And for those who have seen JB in concert knows that he never disappoints.

Never.

Last night’s show at Knoxville’s Civic Auditorium and Coliseum was the fifth time I’ve seen the blues great since I was turned on to him by a dear friend of mine a few years ago. As always, Joe blew the sellout crowd away and had them all eating out of his divinely talented hands and, as I said the last time he performed in Knoxville, he was fan-freakin’-tastic!

Another thing about a Bonamassa concert is that he likes to keep things fresh and unpredictable. In last night’s case, his setlist was a healthy mix of the tunes that fans have just got to hear (Sloe Gin, Woke Up Dreaming, Mountain Time, Never Make Your Move Too Soon, and How Many More Times) as well as a healthy dose of tunes from his more recent albums – especially Redemption and Blues of Desperation.
