Outstanding
Watched this on PBS last night, and I was thoroughly impressed. I have been a fan of Joe for a while, have seen him live with his electric set (even met him at a guitar show once, nice guy). But this set is something altogether different. The music is very stripped down, basic and very authentic American blues type stuff but with a more cosmopolitan feel that shows various influences beyond the blues. To me he really comes across as a new statesman of American blues music, and he owns this stage in Vienna, along with an excellent backing band and about a dozen acoustic guitars of various vintage surrounding him. No blazing or wailing, just lots of impassioned and authentic guitar chops, along with his growing prowess as an authentic blues-based singer, like an old soul channeling Robert Johnson and the classics of the genre for the contemporary era. If you like the blues, Joe or just want to witness perhaps one of the best talents to come along in a long time, get this disk.

I've seen joe now about 12 times and everytime i see him thinking he can't do anything i haven't seen he does. He has Tone like i've never heard. His projection and the way he puts a song across is second to none. I'll go see him as many times as i can...That's what he deserves!!!
thx Joe for always putting somthing out there that makes me realize why i love music the way i do
What a performance
Great band, great song selection, great playing, great audio and video and a great setting! I throughly enjoyed watching this on PBS but the Bly-Ray was even better!
