  • He's simply one of the best guitarists I've seen. Andy Latimer and Steve Hackett will probably always be my favourites, but this guy's right up there with the real Gods of guitar. And he sings really well, too.

    Dust Bowl is a fantastic 5* album.

  • 7:20 WTF

  • 6 persons don't know nothing about music.

  • He's the best....period

  • joe can do anything he wants to do . i am glad he does things the way he does. from gregory b, an old southern blues player

  • If you were 55, I'd ask you to merry me! Your a dream come true! Everything you do is incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 2:18 That's about right.

  • When I first saw this gig on Dutch tv (it's from the North Sea Jazz Festival) I was absolutely godstruck. What an absolute cracker. I visited his gigs everytime he played here in Holland since then. Legend.

  • amazing...what guitar is that..

  • @jagung5 Gigliotti Custom GT prototype only 3 made with that exact set up. The Fender style headstock had to be modified on other models and the Bonamassa Signature that followed later had a 22 fret neck this guitar is a 21 fret neck.

  • Nice Derek Trucks impression!

  • I`m absolutely sure: Joe is an Alien from the planet guitar

  • Wow. I've never heard/seen this guy before. I am so pissed off at myself! He is so amazing. Really, really good stuff here. So nice to discover a great guitar player that I want to listen to all day.

  • A truly gifted man. Mountain always brings a tear to my eye. Fantastic!

  • Off of his fingers comes the essense of joes heart and soul,God gave him a beautiful gift and he uses it well.You can hear his soul in his music, and he puts his heart into every song that he plays!!!!!!!

  • PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ come to Denver this summer Joe. It's Mountain Time in Winter Park.

  • can someone tell me the song at 1:50 ? sounds not like mountain time for me

  • @ToBIERs It is a blues turnaround lick. Joe throws it in on occasion to make his non blues playing a little bluesier.

  • this guy does not just play guitar. hes dancing with it and making love!

  • ...takes me somewhere and it's good to be there, another great lyric. Can't get enough of this artist's talent. Look forward to seeing him again in Chicago 10/27/11.

  • This is like my 100th time watching and listening this clip (no kidding!)

    New record Dust Bowl is gorgeous too! I frikkin' love this guy! :(

  • genial Musik vom Allerfeinsten

  • Throw in "Richmond" and "When she dances", and Joe Bonamassa becomes the king of Soft Rock.

  • there are very few songs that make the hair on the back of your neck tingle

    joe does it every time with this one......pure class !!!

  • @JIMMYBUSHIDO

    top dolla , broadcasting from the uk woooooooop

  • I think the best guitar tone is one where you play a note by fretting it and it sounds like ur playing slide. Jonny lang's guitar sounds like that, joes does too. Obviously Derek trucks haha. I love that tone.

  • I never will ever get tired of going to every live performance of maybe the greatest guitarist of all time i can-thx Joe such an inspiration in so many ways.

  • My very favorite of Joe!

  • Truly Awesome, the man can do no wrong...!!!

  • Just saw him in Tulsa last night. It was something worth missing the oscars for. This dude was EXCELLENT ! !

  • a little bit of greatness comes along now 'n then and wow, it ROCKS.

  • You have no idea how many times i have watched this video already. God bless Joe Bonamassa.

  • Great isn't a sufficient word. It's like there are good moments, great moments, and magical moments. When you come to expect a magical moment every time, you know there's something incredible about the musician.

  • you rule joe

  • Sorry my left ear just got a dry orgasm... Holy powder!

  • I have watched and heard this song more than I care to even count ... it still gives me goosebumps and it still is one of my favorite Bonamassa songs. The dude is a freakin legend in the making!

  • One of the greatest to come along in a long time!!!

  • One of the greatest players to come along in a LONG TIME!

  • joe looks like ben franklin and plays like jimmy

  • Bonamassa is a great player but i think the bass player is lacking the rythm and feel.

  • @MrAndyNorthwood

    Yep that's because it's Carmine Rojas on bass.

    Epic fail.

  • I saw his homecoming concert in Rochester, NY the other night. He played Django and then took it straight into Mountain Time. Took my breath away. Biggest treat was sitting in the front row a few seats from his parents and watching the look of pride on their faces. Thank you Len and Debbie for sharing this gift of yours with us.

  • Stunningly simmilar to "white summer black mountain side"

  • I've seen him three times and everytime he gets better! He is "Da man"!!

  • Good crisp clean sounds... Takes you back to "Mountain Time"

  • Good crisp clean sounds... takes you back to "Mountain Time"

  • seen the man three times now...and he gives 101% every time

    you can tell he still loves playing this song

    joe IS the man

  • @JIMMYBUSHIDO Rock on Jimmy, it is great to witness greatness. Joe IS the man.

  • @Bluuuzeman

    thank you, i know peoples tastes differ, I went to see Joe Satriani last night, and he didnt move me at all.... !!! ,... not the way Bonamassa did, and ive seen them all..hendrix , rory, clapton..and ithink joe bonamassa tops them all !!....well mabe not Jimi !!!!

    but i think hes right up there with the best

  • WOW. So amazing, so beautiful and so purrrfect. Thank you for this video

    Hugggz

  • unglaublich ,wie kann jemand so Gitarre spielen,der ist verliebt in dieses Instrument,mein Lieblinglied.

  • The best of New York City

  • @MrBluesrules What do you know stupid

  • @roykng

    I know this you goddam hicktowner, Joe B. is a badass! blueser. Don't you EVER badmouth Joe Bonamassa. Seen Uber Goober?

  • Totally awesome, and this is why we study modes. :) This is absolutely masterful use of modes, and I would expect nothing less from the great Bonamassa.

  • From Soul to Fingertips

  • Fucking shit hot,one of the,if not the best!! 10 out of 10, superb vid,thanks for posting!!!!

  • I love watching the handful of musicians in the world who truly have a firm understanding of their instrument and when they strap on, it turns into another part of them.

  • Fucking amazing as always! Joe is the true shit!!! Thanks for the vid.

  • this guy is the biz.this song makes me cry with both admiration and envy at the amount of passion joe wrings from his guitar.Now i really do know that a guitar can weep,unbelievable stuff.

  • WOW... this is Awsome!!!! I love this guy and this Song is Wonderful!!!!!!!!! Thanks Joe :)

  • looks like 2 people missed

  • Wow, que música maravilhosa!

    Amei! ^_^

  • Absolutely life-changing. Wonder what it felt like to have written this song, or if he even knows how great it is?

  • May not be the hardest solo to play note wise, but my god the feel is incredible. Its the little subtleties that makes it so good. Definitely one of my fav's

  • It's beertime. Have me a nice cold one and listen at this again.

  • Is this version available anywhere as an mp3 file or on a cd?

  • @smdowney1 i have it in mp3 form. message me and ill send it!

  • what album is the song "Mountain Time" from???

  • @ItamarZaf1: Mountain Time is from "So, It's Like That" album (2002). Superb song from superb album by superb man.

  • @Mii85 Thanks a lot dude!!!

    I'm getting this Album. Bonamassa's music is the best kind in these times.

  • @ItamarZaf1: I'm glad I could help. :) Saddly I wasn't there when Hendrix, Clapton, SRV, Robin Trower and all the likes became legends and heroes like they are today, but I'm glad i'm here now and I can see Joe Bonamassa leave his mark in our bluesy skies. He is up there with all the greats; from Muddy Waters to B.B. King, from Jimi Hendrix to Eric Clapton and everything between! Just too good for our time if you ask me. :)

  • @Mii85 I strongly agree with you; as a guitar player I really find Bonamassa as an inspiration to my playing style and technic. I'm glad to look up to this man as a new guitar hero, and I wish a great career and recognition. I predict that some day he will even top the great ones, includin Clapton and Buddy Guy. Truly a king of Blues.

  • outstanding! Love the expressions and emotions of the audience - also love the "YEAH" at 6:24 - pure beauty, straight up, from the soul. The guitar work - speaks for itself. Joe B. doesn't just rock - he RULES, baby!

  • A most awsome track -fantastic -is in my favs !-thank you for posting !-have a lovely day -gus

  • When this one comes on the radio..no matter how loud i have got it, i always have to turn it that extra notch :)

  • @glummers This comes on the radio? Where do you live then, you lucky bastard?!

  • @davidleachmusic I live in the UK, and the radio station is Planet Rock (Its on DAB, Sky and you can listen on the internet too)

    Joe even does a rasio show onSaturday evenings, Rick Wakeman hosts one on Sat am, and Alice Cooper does the weekday breakfast show..!

  • What. Key is this?

  • @tom36450 The key is Drop D - the most awesome key ever, totally resonates in the human soul like none other

  • @aquamarinedreams Its sounds pretty mindblowing.

  • If Lynyrd Skynyrd and Led Zeppelin got together and had a child this would be him.

  • @ stratolespaul80

    thanks a lot for posting this video! This song is so aweful, I like it very much,

    Joe for ever!

  • <3 <3 <3

  • One thing about Joe is that his voice tends to be a bit airy at times. This by no means sounds 'bad' and the performance is still mind blowing at every level! I think it's just the way I was taught that an airy voice was like a cardinal sin or something. If I could change any thing about his music that would really be the only thing I could possibly think of, and it's more of a minute detail than anything else. It actually sort of works for his music too so stylistically well sung Joe! Love Joe!

  • This is one his best, moves my soul when I hear this tune

  • Why do they choose to pan over old people who are barely moving their heads?

  • This is sooo beautiful!

  • I love Bonamassa!!!!!!!

  • joe you are the best around love it brother

  • Truly magic! I hope he plays this next sunday at bournemouth

  • Most complete player I've seen since SRV. Spectacular talent without comparison to anyone. He paid his dues and studied the right stuff from an early age. He has technique plus feel. Flash plus restraint. A legitimate musical soul. Absolutely honest player. Please stay out of helicopters. Saw him for first time on this last tour in Fort Worth, Texas and had to drive to Houston to see again. Worth every minute.

  • saw joe live at the lexington opera house last week. he is an amazing guitarist and blues player. the whole band is sum of the most down to earth ppl i've ever met. after the show they came out side and signed autographs and took pictures. and talked with everybody. most bands don't do that no more.  the whole band was wore out but still took the time to meet and greet the fans.

  • Little bit Gilmour like in the way the guitar lifts your soul.

  • Voilà un morceau qui correspond parfaitement au film de Sean Penn : "Into the wild".

  • That guitar sounds amazing...the tone is SO good. This is by far my favorite version of these songs...ever.

  • Anyone have the lyrics of the live version ?

  • @dotrewind

    Got em: glad to email them if you want.

  • perfekt my favourite Song of Bonamassa,a king of guitar

  • wild as eagles She's as sweet as honeysuckle....

  • il et aussi for que Jimi Hendrix

  • som de lata, essa guita

  • this man never ceases to amaze me...

  • AWESOME

  • joe was not born with guitar in hand brillant track one of my faves thanks hes a legend

  • Claudio59

    I've seen and listened Joe at the Rome Auditorium past December 13th 2009. It was one of most fantastic live music experience of my life !! In my opinion Joe is the best blues guitarist of all times.

  • @cmariot I totally agree with you. I think that it should be compulsory to see Joe playing live.

  • Great tune by a great artist, I could listen to Joe all day. Infact I think I will.

    TYVM for posting =)

  • Joeeee is awesomeeee. FROMM BRAZIL

  • F*&(ck. That is why I play guitar. The mere possibility of achieving .0000000001% of that kind of emotion. Absolutely beautiful.

  • I think you are not so good at guitar :(

  • @GoodGawd

    ha ha ha bite me

  • i bet you got no idéa about what youre talking about man... just listen to the album verision of the song blues deluxe... /Oskar

  • Joe is from the planet Guitar.

  • @Davide888 Joe is the Planet Guitar!!!!

  • One of my favorites by the master himself...thanks a bunch for posting...

  • aaaaaaaaaa!!!!

    f*****g BEAUTIFULL.

    The Mighty Joe.

  • This man can make the music up as he goes. That is genious folks, pure and simple

  • i dunno about beatin al other guitar but his guitar does kick ass cuz its like no other tele ive ever seen its hollow body and it shines like the sun.

  • actually there are hollow stule teles..but i kinda think this one's body is completely made outa sum kinda metal..sweet tone

  • tele beats all other guitars

  • no wayyyyyyyyyyyyy .... teles are sick, but different geets for different applications except for the parker fly, what an epic fail that shit was.. but tele vs les paul vs strat vs es 335 vs sg we cant say whats better, theyre all amazing

  • This man is a genius.

  • JOE BONAMAWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  • wow lol is that jeremy clarkson from topgear at 2:59 ??

  • Might be! I know he is into decent music so...

  • That wanker wouldn't be welcome there! LOL

  • this song sounds better on his LP, great none the less

  • what a great guitar player joe is awesomeeeeeeeeeeee

  • Definately my favorite. He is the man

  • i was here live! He was awesome!

  • Simple simple genius......and does he love that drop d tuning......opens up all the chords........once again awesome performance.....cant wait for the Royal Albert Hall dvd.....to be fair it does sound like he is struggling with the vocals on the whole of this gig.....but who the hell cares!!

  • deffff my favoritee song by joe. love him !!

  • 1:44-1:50 sounds like white summer

  • 2:19 Who knew Gok Wan was a Bonamassa fan?

  • From what I've seen, this guy has it all. Technique, soul, a variety of styles, and just some bad ass rock. Reminds me a little of Page, or more like the way Page should have sounded if he were not so plastered half the time. Gotta love YT for introducing me to artists I'd otherwise probably never hear of. I'll be checking out alot more of Joe B. GREAT player.

  • @MG94707 Same here. Heard OF him, checked him out and WILL buy his stuff! Why can't record companies understand this??

  • @MG94707 Page actually never did drugs or booze man, he wanted to play that way, and it's genius. Joe is bad ass though!

  • @MG94707 well i dont think its because Page was plastered all the time. that was just towards the late 70s. but i completely agree with you that he is reminiscent of Page.

    He's such a phenomenal guitarist.

  • @LedZeppelinisgod100 Hey I'm a HUGE fan of Page but he WAS smashed almost all the time. You are correct that it was particularlly the later 70's when his playing deteriorated. Joe B here is sharp as a tack. Check out him doing "Just Got Paid" at the o2 arena in London. Toward the end after a long jam he rips into the Dazed and Confused solo. Sick!

  • dude come on, you dont know that. he was smashed all the time post 1976. before he really didn't do very hard shit like heroin or cocaine. only smoked and drank. (im not saying thats the greatest thing, but it wasnt what he was like later.) like, just look at his playing 1972 Australia on HTWWW. so fucking good! :D

    anyways, yeah ive seen multiple clips of Joe playing Dazed and Confused. a very respectable tribute to Page. does justice to it. and not many people can! JB is one hell of a player.

  • Such an awesome tune. Though his singing is not really my taste or it just sounds worse because of his brilliant playing.

  • he stuggles at times with his voice on this song. Joe has said that the key to his singing is rest.

  • i hate him. (sobs)

    I hate him because he so good.

    DAMN YOU

  • When I listen to Joe it feels like he's tuned into my soul.

  • I used to be a hard rocker too until I heard this amazing guy....and now there's no turning back...he is Rock n Blues all the way...I have been converted!!!!!

    he's awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! Never stop!!!

  • this aint my regular choice of music but anyway its a amazing song and joe is a great guitarist!

  • I do usally listen to Old School heavy Metal like Judas Priest an Twisted Sister and stuff, but when you listen to JB, you really got that blues feeling and this is really the best music! JOE BONAMASSA!

  • Joe B is an insanely talented cat. He is a perfectionist at his technicality. His feel is what sets his playing apart from other slingers. If you get the chance to see him play - don't waste it!

  • Seeing him in November...cannot wait. Hope he plays this as it's one of my favourite Bonamassa songs!

  • this and sloe gin :)

  • fast, technically, amazing true true, but i still dont feel the same vibes as when im listening to the "black" blueskings. Its white blues to the max, thats all. says this white kid

  • Amazing tone. Not bad playing either lol.

  • Joe is the man, Maybe its my OCD but he really should look into getting a tighter pair of bar shades. Would we love him any less if he went shadless?? NO!!

  • The Greatest Joe song ever!

  • Bonamassa=GOD

  • this guitar is of a kind of telecaster

  • Gigliotti GT Joe Bonamassa Signature guitar

  • saw him last night the the albert! did a song with eric clapton was amazing!

  • Seen him live twice. Possibly his best song. You cannot beat the soul of that intro. Amazing stuff keep it up Joe

  • Joe Bonamassa é o felling em pessoa, esse cara sabe fazer um som de guitarra que nos emociona!Simplismente demais essa canção. Amazing!

  • My fav. guitar player in the world.

    amazing song....His tone is amazing!

  • this guy does not play the guitar - he makes it sing...

  • Truly an amazing guitarist. Saw him live in Denmark in Haderslev once. That day inspired me to get better at guitar :)

    Respect..

  • I find myself moved to tears with this song everytime. What a passion and spirit in his playing, he moans out a longing for her that is simply breath taking.This is what love should be for those lucky enough to find it.

  • i can the begining was somewhat inspired by Jimmy Page's "white summer/black mountain side"........this is great though

  • This song is amazing. Makes me think of someone from my teens. It could have been about her.

  • But only if you cut out the first 2 mins.

  • Comment removed

  • Joe is so cool. Live at Maryland Theater in March 2009-

  • Look forward to his new album any day now "The Ballad Of John Henry" you can also see a live version on youtube too!!

  • That guitar sounds so awesome. I wish I had one...

  • Nice guitar, metal top, Gigliotti.

  • the solo in the beginning is almost same melody with led zeppelin - black mountain side... (1969) good job though, nice song.
