Going to see EJ twice this week!

[DrewJD82]

As much of an EJ fan I am, I’ve only seen him twice before, in ‘96 and 2018 on the Ah Via Musicom anniversary tour.

Tonight he’s opening for Kenny Wayne, I’ll stick around for a couple KWS tunes but I checked out a couple albums last week and it’s not really my thing. Dude can play for sure but man, those songs are remarkably uninspired. Lyrically and musically. I’m sure I’ll hear some killer guitar tones and playing, though.

Saturday is going to be the real treat; EJ is playing in Stuart at a smaller theatre, I got a 2nd row ticket directly in front of his amps and since the VIP was only $100 for the soundcheck pass and a Q&A, I grabbed a VIP ticket. Next to Gilmour, he’s the only guitar hero I haven’t met yet so that’ll be nice to say “Thank you” and while I’m not really an autograph guy, I’ll likely have him sign my EJ Fuzz Face or the Dover Drive. I’m really just anxious to be in that room without a ton of people and getting to hear those amps coming off the stage.

If I see an avenue to get my face as close as it can get to his amps while he’s playing, I’m taking it. Security is going to think I’m rushing EJ like some crazed fan, but I’ll just be going for his 4x12 cab.

I saw him a couple of times in the early 2000's. Bucket list artist for me.

Awesome! Shaping up to be an EPIC week!


Don't forget to toss your panties on the stage.

Damn, surprised he landed that opening spot, that’s a big one for him!

Funnily, he also opened for Big Wreck in the 90’s in Canada, which is how this happened-




Shit, I’ve actually never seen that before, I was looking for an entirely different terrible quality vid!

That show with that lineup in that time (when Big Wreck for me was PEAK) would be

He was on my list of must see artists but never came to the UK . I had tickets for the G3 tour but he didn’t end up doing the UK shows. So after years of not being able to see him he eventually did a UK tour some years back and played five minutes walking distance away from home. Then came back the next year. So I did get to see him in the end.

Me, too!

I also saw him at Sweetwater Gearfest (RIP) in 2019. He ended the big jam session they had there with other guitarists. He played a lot of jazzy stuff that night, which was really cool.
