- Blues rockstar Joe Bonamassa
performing his 2023 live concert
at the legendary Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California.
Hi, I'm Bill Young, and we are here
at the Longhorn Ballroom, where a number
of legendary blues artists like B.B. King,
Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Johnny Winter have performed
on stage over the years.
Now, this is Joe's 11th concert on public TV,
his debut at the Hollywood Bowl,
and the first time playing with an orchestra,
featuring many songs live for the first time.
It's a lot of firsts right here on public television,
but this exceptional concert comes to you
because of all the financial support
from viewers just like you.
There's so much more music coming up,
including never-before recorded live,
"The Last Matador of Bayonne," "Prisoner,"
and "Self-Inflicted Wounds."
But right now, it's your opportunity to join in
on this celebration of Joe Bonamassa
and everything that you love on this PBS station.
You do that by making a contribution.
You can reach us by phone or text
at the number on your screen,
or you can always go to the website below
and make your contribution online.
And when you give right now,
we have some great ways to say thank you.
Let's take a look.

"Is it Safe to Go Home,"
and includes a 16-page collectible booklet.
♪ I search this world
♪ For someone to hold me
- [Announcer] With an annual contribution of $96
or $8 monthly, you will receive the CD
and extended version DVD or Blu-Ray of this program,
"Live at the Hollywood Bowl With Orchestra,"
including additional fan favorites,
"Slow Gin," "If Heartaches Were Nickels,"

with exclusive photos and liner notes.
This concert features Joe's debut

(bluesy music)
When you make an annual contribution of $120,
or $10 a month as a sustainer,

or Blu-ray of this program,
plus, the "Blues Deluxe Volume 2" CD.

>> Hi, I'm Eric Greiling director of Friends of PBS
Wisconsin. We have big news. Joe Bonamassa is coming to Appleton
in November and we have reserved seats available. If you show
your support with a gift tonight, 1-800-236-3636. Give us
a call. And we'd like to say thank you to you when you pledge
at the $20 a month level with two concert tickets to the show
in Appleton, November 27th, and along with those two concert
tickets, a CD with your choice of DVD or Blu ray at the $30 a
month level. This is special not only the two concert tickets,
but two tickets to the pre-show soundcheck. So extra time with
Joe Bonamassa you get to see something not everybody else
gets to see you get to enjoy that full concert in reserve
seats for PBS Wisconsin, and you get the CD and your choice of
DVD or Blu ray with your call to 1-800-236-3636
- This concert was developed almost five years ago
in preparation for doing it
with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra
at Red Rocks in August of 2020.
Obviously, that didn't happen,
and so we decided to bring it to the Hollywood Bowl instead,
which is one of the most iconic venues of the world.
And it'll be my first time playing the Hollywood Bowl
with the first time with an orchestra.
So there's a lot of firsts
that we're achieving in one night.
♪ All the great warriors have songs ♪
We're performing a couple of songs
that I've never played live before.
One called "The Last Matador of Bayonne,"
a song that I wrote, oh, about 15 years ago,
and our cover of "Prisoner," which seems
to be the most requested song in our catalog,
and we've never covered it live.
So there's a bunch of stuff that we haven't gotten to
as a band and that we're doing with an orchestra.
So I'm very, very excited for you guys to hear it.
Our version of "Self-inflicted Wounds" will be included.
It's a great night of music.
It's very large, very bombastic,
and just how you want an orchestra.
♪ Rise above the storm

- Wow, that incredible horn intro
to "The Last Matador of Bayonne,"
demonstrates just adding
another instrumentation to a performance,
how it elevates it to another level.
The story behind the song includes Joe touring in Europe
and playing in Roman style amphitheaters with bull rings.
It was here that he saw a little door
with a little prayer booth
where the matadors would await their fate.
To think that you may die while doing your job
was a great concept for a song.

DVD or Blu ray with your call to 1-800-236-3636
and we have to be on our toes as a band,
because the orchestra doesn't move from the charts.
Sometimes as a band,
you kind of improvise your way through things,
and then next thing you know, you know,
you have a two-minute longer version of a specific song.
That can't happen on this night,
because we are very much pinned to the charts.
We're not used to being conducted by a conductor,
and David Campbell's gonna do a great job,
and we're just very honored to work
with him and his orchestra.
♪ My grandfather, a railroad man ♪
- The arranging for the orchestra show ♪ Not afraid of right and wrong, or how to take a stand ♪
I always watch PBS, and I love PBS.
I'm an "Antiques Roadshow" fan. I love all the programs.
I grew up on "Reading Rainbow,"
"Sesame Street" when I was a kid, "Nova,"
and they used to do the British versions
of "Doctor Who" back in the day, and I loved it.
So I've been a PBS fan my whole life.
Thanks to your support,
we're able to share this concert with you.
Thank you to PBS and public broadcasting
for all your support over the years.

David Campbell is not only the conductor
of the incredibly talented 40-member orchestra,

alongside soundtrack producer Trevor Rabin and Jeff Bova.
