Joe Bonamassa – Jesus Left Chicago: Live in Germany, 2005 (12-Inch Double-LP)

This double album showcases Joe Bonamassa’s electrifying gig at the Schwarzer Adler, in Rheinberg, Germany, on 1 May 2005, in its entirety.

In support of his fourth studio album, Had to Cry Today, Joe Bonamassa undertook a mini-European tour during 2005, playing a single date in the UK, four in the Netherlands and five shows in Germany. Of the entire jaunt, the finest gig performed took place in Rheinberg, on 1 May.

King’s You Upset Me Baby, John Lee Hooker’s Burning Hell, Jimi Hendrix’s Spanish Castle Magic and more.
