Different strokes for different folks. Not everyone appreciates or even understands Joe's gift and genius.

It's 2024, I still love this rendition of Sloe Gin. The solo is just *chefs kiss*

I'm 61 years old and I've seen 'em all from Beck to Zappa and everyone in between and Joe Bonamassa is as good as any.

This to me is his best live performance of his interpretation of the song - the second part is epic. You only need to look at the faces of the other musicians with him to know that this one is special. Perhaps the presence of all those young guitarists brought the best out of him. It would be sad to think of him as this lonely - a great player.

I listened to that song and tried to drown myself in sloe gin ... it didnt die ... fortunately ... because I had to come back and listen again before I ran out of air ... heart touching, best version of Bonamassas Sloe Gin on youtube!

[RobDegrey]

Joe Bonamassa Is one of the finest musicians the world has ever known

[VivaLaLaurenXD]

I WAS HERE!! one of the best nights of my life

[midiland]

I heard so many versions of this wonderful song. It is as if it gets deeper and deeper in feeling. You should listen to the Vienna version: pure, simple feeling! Thank you JOE BONAMASSA for being so great a musician!

As a Guitarist for 50 years and many bands .
10 years ago i understood what makes a band great...
And what makes this version stand out to all over versions is
Tal Bergman !
Some of you may be lucky to understand this wisdom.

One of the best performances of this song I have seen.

[Ciagrad]

I saw Joe live in Sacramento from the first row in the balcony man it was good, He is easily the best guitarist out there today. Gilmour, liefson, Iommi, and the other greats have to make way for this master.

[nitemunky]

Probably the best performance of this track I've seen him do...

[janniechamness]

This is my favorite song. I cry everytime❤

[kelvingurr]

those of us who truly respect and admire a true artist possibly

[stringdoc]

In my last comment, I forgot to note the incredible talent, artistry, and precision Joe Bonamassa brings to the table. All the finest equipment in the world won't help you play like this without the dedication and raw talent he displays. This is by far his finest song to date. What a performance!!!

[TheBarkinFrog]

Saw him live a few years ago. Awesome show. He was opening for B.B. King, and I hate to say it, but I could have just listened to Joe all night, and probably wouldn't have noticed if B.B. never made it on stage. Which brings to mind...considering how many years Joe opened for B.B., I'll bet he learned a thing or three about how to treat your fans from the Great King of the Blues.

[xavierortiz]

Love this! Did appreciate the ad right before the solo

[MrBigrumor]

He works the knobs, pickup selector & everything in between when he performs and pulls every drop of tone out of his gear! Just love watching and hearing him play!!!

JOE, POLAND LOVES YOU!
