One thing you can never say about Bonamassa is that he rests on his laurels.  On every new album, and with every new “side” project, Bonamassa pushes himself into new territory.  Last night’s show at Red Rocks was yet another example of his willingness to move out of his comfort zone.  Still, even with the supercharged production, the appeal of Joe Bonamassa comes down to one thing.  He can do things with a guitar that mere mortals can’t fathom.  I was sitting next to a man named Stu, who is a longtime Bonamassa fan but who was seeing him live for the first time.  He commented that he’d seen a lot of guitar players in his time, but never anything like this.  I think that sums it up pretty darned well.
