No, jukeboxhero, you're not the only one who recognized the Crossroads riff -- but you have to remember, this was a 3-and-a-half-minute TV rendition, without his normal bandmates. Borrow somebody's copy of "Live at Royal Albert Hall" -- or better still, go see him in person, while he's still playing small venues and you can get up close. This guy is the next Stevie Ray Vaughan, no doubt about it. I hope this doesn't sound like fan slobber -- hear him in person and I'll bet you'll agree.

@papercutonmybrain everyone knows bonamassa plays the guitar like a god.And thats why I watch these vids with him,but when a drummer in the background have spasm when he plays i think thats worth a comment...........but what do i know,,,,maybe its something wrong with me!!!!!
I think this song was sort of INTENDED to be (for lack of a better term) a cousin of sorts to Crossroads. ...and yea, the drummer looks like he should be hosting Masterpiece Theater lol
Blow me down! I have been a blues fan all my life and as a black man I must say that Joe Bonamassa has done what few contemporary black musicians can do with blues music. I mean no offence to white folks but could I call him an honourary Brotha?
I Love Joe Bonamassa he is right up there with the greats in my opinion, but i can't be the only one thats realised this is pretty much the crossroads riff!
@juxeboxhero hahaha the cross roads riff pattern is actually used quite a bit. Slash used it for the bad ass song that is known today as Nightrain! unbelievable genius by Eric Clapton!
idk if anyone will believe me but here it goes! my wireless connection sucks so as i was waiting for this vid to load i turned on the tv and...i swear the exact same song was playing on the ovation channel!! 8:27pm eastern time. btw joe is awesome.
Incredible song from the modern day Clapton, unbelievable perfect solos. By the way, I think the "devil salutes" are just him waving but holding a plectrum in his thumb and fingers.
Gary moore when I 16. vai albert lee leslie west john syks ect ect ,I have seen nearly every body I have really wanted. and im going to see joe in about a week hes going to have to work hard to get close to satrani and Gilberts show last year, but I think he can do it .if I can just get Tommy Emanuel under my belt I think I could die smiling . yes im a lucky boy .thouse who love it know what im talking about .
I've been into Joe's stompin' beat for a couple of years now. He seems to have just burst onto the big stage over the last few months... appearance on Later with Jools, front page of most of the guitar magazines and a show at the Royal Albert Hall. Legend.
yeah me too I had no idea he was going to be on 'Later' until Jools announced him, was a nice surprise and break from the obligotary dreary indy/britpop band he always seems to need to have on every week
Fantastic guy, fantastic song etc etc but that's all we got except for a milliesecond of chat... what a rip-off, I stayed up well past midnight for a second song but nada. All the dross that was on the show did at least two toons FCS. No justice! Thank god for Paul Jones' BBC Blues Show who was on to Joe yonks ago and has had him in several times. And LWJH is just about the only proper (?) live rock (?) show on British TV so we are unlikely to see JB or his ilk any time soon again. Bah!
this sound a lot like CROSSROADS.....nevertheless.....what an AMAZING solo!!!!!!

@EDDERGC Well it is based around same chords, same key. Probably why he's using a capo at 3rd fret for to make it a bit different. Still great!
