First the official sounding stuff, the Venue gets 5 stars easy. Comfy seats, perfect view everywhere spacious aisles and temprature controlled to a T.
Now to giddy fanboy business, Satch was perfect, plain and simple. The show started a scant 10 minutes after the hour which is super punctual these days and when it did i wasn't leaving my seat for anything. Watching and hearing Joe play is a pure pleasure, and he is a master at what he does. The set was well varied with old,new, and all in between. The show ran for about 2 hours and had no opening act, which was perfect in my eyes because he doesn't need one, he went nonstop and with the amount of fingerwork he does I would have gladly waited if he wanted to take a pause to relax the arms and hands a while.
Joe please come back again soon and often, and please consider a meet and greet. I'd gladly pay for the chance to meet a legend like yourself.
