An amazing recording, just Joe, a guitar player, a keyboard player and a laptop. The sound is outstanding. You wouldn't know it wasn't a full band backing the man if he didn't tell you at the start of the show. The performance is pure Joe, if your a fan like me you know what I mean. Every song the man sings he owns. He makes it intimately his own, his cover of U2's "One" is a perfect example. His voice seems tailor made to bring out the emotions in the lyric. Please no hate mail Bono is a fantastic vocalist and I love U2's version, but I think even Bono would applaud the master on this one. I can't even begin to put into words the interpretation of the Marvin Gaye classic "What's Going On". Or how he turns Screamin' Jay Hawkins' camp hit "I Put A Spell On You" into a torch song that you only hear on an old jazz 78 rpm record. You'll just have to download it and see.
