Live Blues World Tour

9th Chicago Blues Festival

The 9th Chicago Blues Festival Tour in Europe. An explosive, scorching atmosphere was at the packed out Palace, in a homage to the Kings of the Blues. One hell of an evening orchestrated with feeling by the touring musicians of the Chicago Blues Festival. In front of a huge ecstatic audience, Luther "Houserocker" Johnson (vocals, guitar) and fellow bluesmen had a genuine success that night. Tight rhythmic boogie, blues and Chicago shuffles, performed in the traditional vein, as they kept a good sense of humor going. Especially Jerry McCain (vocals, harmonica), and fellow Americans Chick Willis (vocals, guitar), Kip Anderson (vocals, piano), T.K.Lively (bass). Leather jackets were swinging, Santiags were tapping and blue jeans were dancing. The spectators were hypnotized as the music seeped through their ears and hearts. By the end of this exceptional musical evening, the punters begged for more, as the fans savored every last minute of these treasured blues. The audience were simply on cloud nine. Gerry Joe Weise, the support act, inflamed the Palace hall, heating up the spectators with his well played mix of compositions, arrangements and classics. Gerry Joe really knows how to play them blues. A great performance by the rhythm section, and a "bravo" to Gerry Joe Weise's stage performance done with gusto. (Est Republicain Newspaper)

20th San Francisco Blues Festival

The 20th San Francisco Blues Festival Tour in Europe, known to be a festival of sophisticated blues-rock, accustomed to a West Coast lifestyle and appealing to a modern-day blues audience, arrived in town. First on stage was Gerry Joe Weise from Australia and his trio. They "blistered the blues down" as Gerry Joe produced a quantity of excellent blues licks and solos, played on his Stratocaster along with growling vocals; as the members of the San Francisco Blues Festival looked on with smiling approval. At the end of the concert, they asked Gerry Joe Weise to come up on stage for a series of jam-sessions with the West Coast alumni. The Bobby Murray Blues Band backed up or literally illuminated : the vocalist-guitarist Maurice McKinnies in Buddy Guy style, the rockabilly frenetic blues of guitarist and vocalist Ron Thompson, the soul guitar of Freddie Hughes, and the wailing harmonica blues from Big Bones. Saturday night was the last date of the tour, so there was quite a bit of a party going on and off stage. (Union Newspaper)

12th Amiens Jazz Festival

The 12th Amiens Jazz Festival with Buddy Guy, Pat Metheny, John McLaughlin, Stephane Grappelli, Mike Stern, Bob Brozman, Bireli Lagrenne, Gerry Joe Weise, closed it's doors last Saturday night, to a satisfied audience. Buddy Guy is not only a legendary guitarist, he is a generous and warm-hearted bluesman. There are nights so blue, that even the cats on tin roofs pretend to be Howlin' Wolf under a golden Moon, crying out "Riding In The Moonlight", and tapping their tails in rhythm on the zinc gutters. Those nights are electric with sparks, hypnotising, and true blue. That was just the case when Bob Brozman stepped up on stage, dressed elegantly in a tailcoat, vest and crocodile boots. He played traditional blues - "Love In Vain", crazy boogies and calypsos. The hall was reaching the boiling point, when half an hour later Buddy Guy and band hit the stage. The legendary Chess Records studio guitarist had backed Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson and Big Walter Horton. The Chicago legend became famous in Europe thanks to the Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix, who were Buddy's cult fans. His thick voice gave lots of feeling to his first class performance on guitar. What a showman! His clowning capers on the microphone were very captivating. By the time Buddy Guy came to "Johnny B Goode", the crowd just went wild. It wasn't easy to perform after Buddy Guy, but the Australian bluesman, Gerry Joe Weise and his trio came on stage just after midnight, as Gerry Joe strapped on his guitar. His energetic guitar style, produced scorching blues licks, likened to that of Buddy Guy's intensity. Gerry Joe Weise's forte is his honest bluesman approach. The night was hot and sweaty, which measured up well to the expectations of all. (Philippe Lacoche, Courrier Picard Newspaper)

30th Jimi Hendrix Commemoration

30th Jimi Hendrix Experience Commemoration. The two groups billed for the night were Gerry Joe Weise and More Experience. Original Experience bassist Noel Redding was special guest, arriving very cheerful, did a short soundcheck, and then went off with everyone at 6 p.m. to unveil a commemorative tablet of the first Experience concert in presence of the City Mayor. The concert got off to a great start with a packed audience of 1,000. Gerry Joe Weise opened on stage with a "Hear My Train A Comin'" guitar solo leading into a fiery "Voodoo Chile". Two originals followed, "Inside Outside", a fusion instrumental number inspired by Hendrix, and a ballad called "Southern Cross", played as Gerry Joe explained to the audience, that every guitarist has his own "Little Wing". He reflected that it was a little scary on stage because you could feel Jimi's presence in the air. "Purple Haze" with a drum solo came next with "All Along The Watchtower", "Freedom" was an all out funky version, while "Red House" was your classic blues approach with Gerry Joe playing guitar behind his back. It has all been said before that "Gerry Joe Weise pays complete respect to Hendrix via personal interpretations", and that sums up well the originality and musicality he infused into that night's performance. After a short intermission, Noel Redding came out in an astral long sleeve t-shirt and a black vest with gold symbols looking quite flashy. He gave a speech then strapped on a battered 60's Fender Jazz bass, turned up the Marshall bass amp stack to full-on and belted into a spirited "Killing Floor" as the crowd went wild. It certainly sounded like the Experience, it just goes to show how important Noel was for the Experience sound. Jimi's genius along with an excellent rhythm sound from Redding and Mitchell created one of the best unique sounds in rock history. Noel Redding was strutting around the stage effortlessly with difficult songs like "Come On" and "Manic Depression", looking like Noel Redding of 30 years ago when he was only 20. Kathy Etchingham and her husband, Candis (Noel's lady), Gerry Joe Weise and Etienne Keith were all floored, standing near Noel behind the curtain. He certainly had given it everything he could for Jimi.Backstage after the concert with Noel Redding and Kathy Etchingham, one could swear that at any moment, Jimi would come walking through the door. (M.Thevenin, Voodoo Child US Fanzine)

Yardbirds Reunion Tour

The Yardbirds Reunion Tour. Gerry Joe Weise had just recently arrived in Europe after an extremely successful Australian Northern Territory Tour 2000/2001 of 49 concert dates. To kick-off the European tour, Gerry Joe Weise was invited to support the legendary Yardbirds at the brand new concert venue in Castres named "Lo Bolegason" in the local Occitan language, which literally means "Bowl of fresh air". After the Yardbirds and Gerry Joe Weise Trio ritual of going to the restaurant for the evening meal, they were ready for the rock'n'blues and psychedelia! When Gerry Joe arrived in southern France, he called up his old Brit-mate, drummer Keith Boyce from Savoy Brown & Heavy Metal Kids fame. Boyce and bassist Jean-Paul Lopez (ex. Otis Grand) were pounding it out on stage as Gerry Joe Weise played blistering blues licks on psychedelic arrangements. Gerry Joe was inspired that night, and so were the Yardbirds who were preparing for their World Tour. Yes when the Yardbirds set foot on stage, you were immediately transported back to the 1960's. The legendary tunes played by Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, were executed by Gypie Mayo (ex. Dr Feelgood) on guitar and the original Yardbirds members : Jim McCarthy and Chris Dreja (who recently toured Darwin like Gerry Joe). The lucky audience that night were treated to outstanding early British Blues, by the classic Yardbirds, Gerry Joe Weise from the Commonwealth, and his musicians who have played in U.K. bands. The evening was carried high under the slogan of being "genuine". (Julie Veraz, Blues News Magazine).

2nd Blues Night Festival

The 2nd Blues Night Festival with Joe Louis Walker, Matt 'Guitar' Murphy and Billy Branch. The Vic-sur-Cere concert hall was boiling over, bubbling with all ages, as a large crowd gathered. The event advertised "The Blues Night". Hanging onto the low stage protection barrier were the early concert-goers with only elbow-room. Gerry Joe Weise performed the blues on his National Triolian resophonic guitar from the 1930's. Alone he possessed the art to "rock" the venue. "Sing it louder!", Gerry Joe called to the audience, and the crowd acting without restraint, let themselves join in the entertainment. Afterwards Gerry Joe Weise strapped on his old 1960 red Silvertone electric guitar and plugged it in, as his drummer and bassist walked on stage. By then the whole concert hall was singing along with the band. Gerry Joe Weise, a virtuoso on the guitar, entertained and played power blues, while their fine song arrangements never left anyone indifferent. "It's just great, it rocks!", called out delighted fans. At 11.00pm it was time for Gerry Joe Weise to leave the stage for the next trio formation : the "Acoustic Blues Summit", with lead vocalist and guitarist Joe Louis Walker, Matt "Guitar" Murphy (Blues Brothers) on guitar, and Billy Branch on Harmonica. On stage a more relaxed traditional blues were performed. Some members of the audience, closed their eyes taking them back to the roots, as Walker, Murphy and Branch played them to perfection. Several legendary tunes echoed down the hall, blues that were played way into the night... (J.M.Peyral, Centre Hebdo Newspaper)
