Joe Bonamassa live at Studio 3, BBC MAIDA VALE STUDIO in London, UK. This in-studio performance was recorded on 6th February 2008 and broadcast by BBC Radio Two on 11th February for Paul Jones' radio show. This recording includes an interview by Paul Jones and audience questions. The full concert was broadcast on Paul Jones show on Monday 22nd March 2010. Joe Bonamassa had released his 7th album Sloe Gin the year before, and released Live From Nowhere In Particular later in 2008. US blues whizz Joe Bonamassa played a small gig to 80-people at the BBC’s Maida Vale Studio. It's a fair bet to assume that of all the rock and blues players that have entered studio 3 at BBC's Maida Vale, few could have delivered the kind of levels of volume and intensity that makes Joe Bonamassa just that little bit different from most of his peers. Indeed more than that, as his mid gig interview with Paul Jones proved he is both as eloquent and learned about the music he plays as he is technically brilliant. Together with four amps, he uses two at any one time, and with the same line-up, Joe demonstrated the full repertoire of his staggering ability with a live performance. The cornerstone of the set proved to be the more considered approach of the title track of the current Sloe Gin album. Taken as a slow blues, Joe explained in a question and answer session with Paul Jones that the song came from Tim Curry. It is typical of Joe that he gives generous credit to one and all without so much as dwelling on his own input. As this live session thrillingly showed he is a major talent with an acute sense of the musical history underpinning his work.

Both his stellar playing and inventive arrangements help him refashion the music of the British blues invasion, with due reference to such icons as Led Zeppelin, Ten Years After and Free. On top of that, he's a perfectionist and he duly undertook two takes of ''So Many Roads'', the second of which came with added guitar flourishes, delicate tonal dynamics and an extended end piece. The other second take of ZZ Top's ''Just Got Paid'' neatly slipped into Zeppelin's ''Dazed & Confused'' and wrought out every last inflection from the memorable powerhouse guitar line. Together with the opening riff driven ''Bridge To Better Days'' and lovely slide work on Ten Years After's ''One of These Day's'', Joe explored the crossover appeal of early 70's British blues rock as it transformed into Progressive Rock. In between the occasional change of guitar and full range of solo's, Joe found time for an acoustic outing with a mesmerising take of his own ''Woke Up Dreaming'' and coolly slipped into the B.B. King shuffle ''You Upset Me Baby'' with special musical guest and programme host Paul Jones on accomplished harmonica. And it's testament to both his good taste and voracity for seeking out new and challenging avenues, that Joe has turned such unlikely source material as ''Sloe Gin'' into a classic of his own. His live version here was sublime and he cleverly segued from the opening verses into an almost mournful but powerful guitar break, and without the conduit of any studio trickery. He transformed the long instrumental outro into the kind of emotive guitar sweep. The tension of the song was beautifully resolved by the solo which was as fluent as it was confident and by turns truly inspirational. He is a major player on the contemporary blues rock scene and radio airwaves will be all the better for his presence.
