Tied for the best movie I have ever seen

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

I've just done a review on Joe's Albert Hall 2009 gig - so I'll keep this brief.Joe is here with his hardcore bass and keyboard (the wonderful Carmine Rojas and Rick Melick resp.) plus Tal Bergman on drums. The drumming sounds slightly different from the Albert Hall, but second listen tuned me in better. This is top class performance all round.Yes, I know John Hiatt came on and was absolutely groundedly great, and I've always loved Paul Rodgers voice since "Wishing Well" (1972 or thereabouts).First off guests was Beth Hart, though, with tattoos all over the place. Took about 10 seconds to realise she knew exactly what she was doing. Have to say I think she redefines "raunchy" in the finest traditions of that word - strong, capable, knows exactly what she's after, and very likely to achieve that. Totally into Joe's histrionics on the Gibsons, and just the sort of girl you'd like to look up from a solitary beer and meet by chance.Overall, it's just wonderful stuff. Don't bother hunting on cable for a record chance; just get the DVDs of this and Albert Hall 2009 and play them loud. Get a better amp and speakers, if you have to!.
