Meeting Joe in 2001

Post by vacuumcleaner »

I saw Joe at the Amoeba in SF in 1999. He did 4 or 5 songs from Global A Go Go and then The Harder They Come. We lined up to get his autograph.

Correction: it was 2001.

Does anyone have any photos or recollections about this appearance? I asked in 2007 on that other forum. There were about 5 photos, that's it. I was hoping somebody might have more.

Did anyone see Joe at the Amoeba in LA? I found a photo in Google Image Search. Don't know when he appeared or how many times.

He never appeared at Amoeba Berkeley, I'm pretty sure. I lived really close and I would've heard.

Looks like it was actually 2001. Unfortunately not much info on the appearance that you saw.

You're right, Global A Go Go was released in 2001.

We met Joe at an HMV album signing gig in Leeds, they played Global a go go. Queued up to get my album signed, met Joe, had a few words with him, my mate took photo's on his new digi camera, went to the pub all giddy to look at the pics........Got a noticed popped up saying hard drive corrupt, not a photo in sight, it must have been a jinxed tour. 😂
