I have only seen a few other guitarists who could do what Joe can do with his guitar...but NEVER when i was 10 feet from him, as Joe used to be. He would talk to individual people throughout the show like he was your BFF. I remember once when he asked me to get him a beer.
The only guys guitarists that i have seen in concert, that have similar skill-sets have been, with my reason (in brackets) have been Jeff Healey, whom also played small venues (like my hometown arena).
Luckily, i have been to see some amazing concerts, but the huge venue, while awesome just isnt the same. So, while impossible to know, this is a quick ordering of my favs from my memories of concerts, likely with some bias based upon my favourite songs, bands, experience, etc.:
David Gilmour (sadly i only saw him post 'true' Floyd days of late 80's);
Eddie Van Halen;
the Edge from U2;
Slash from GnR;
Alex Lifeson of Rush;
Mark Knopfler (only saw him in his dire straits days).
Guess i am dating myself...and revealing my musical preferences also. Don't seem to have/make time for concerts anymore.
Sorry to have hijacked your post Reggie...but it was kinda fun making this list, and a nice distraction from my life right now. (my mom had a stroke last weekend)
P.S. the 'sunday morning view from my kitchen table' feature will NOT be a regular post...Vince did a great, unique job on that...where is that good old guy, i miss him in a weird sorta way (do a ccom search for 'sunday morning' if you classify yourself as a 'new vet' or newer)
