Ticket prices weren't too bad for the venue, Jubliee Auditorium. Kinda cool seeing a rock concert in a hall that used to be home of the Edmonton symphony orchestra.
The opener was fellow Canadian, and also fellow parker player, Dave Martone. He's not the reason I picked up my Parker guitar, but it's cool to know someone as accomplished as him also using the same kinda gear!
His set was pretty awesome. Luckily I came across his music earlier this year, and got his latest cd off itunes; thus, was very familiar with the tunes. He was pretty amazing live!
As for Joe's set, it was surprisingly long (in a good way). He played for about 2 hours at least. Got my moneys worth, The only downside is I didn't familiarized myself with most of his new songs off the latest album, which is what he was mainly promoting.
Even so, it was still enjoyable. He played some older tunes as well, which I knew well. Loved his orange Ibanez JS...it just screams 'look at me'.
For the encore, he did a call/response chant with the crow which was pretty cool.
I was kinda disappointed I did not get to meet Joe or Dave, as they did not do a meet and greet. I guess it's sorta understandable, at such a large venue. But still...
