His style is quite a bit more virtuosic than SRV... He'll go on some modal runs that put him in an arena with Satch and Vai..... People may not agree but he'll never fail to amaze you in the same way that Satch or Vai will. I would prefer a Bonamassa concert to either one of their shows 7 days a week... Because you'll see a lot more than just great guitar playing. You'll see great improvisation, a great vocalist, and a great songwriter/composer.... and the guy is young too.
Speaking of good luck concerts.... Claptons Crossroads Festival is in Chicago this year.... and I just got my tickets in the mail... Hopefully they invite Joe Bonamassa this year....... if they aren't too scared.
