Joe Bonamassa is one hell of a showman!
YEH!! I've got two of his DVDs and , well, he sure isn't a "Poser!"

The man DOES poor a ton of energy and himself into his playing. So I wouldn't think of that as a poser. But can he put on a show? Absolutely. Now, don't ask me about his bass player............. poser!!

And yeh, Stevie Ray was all heart and soul in his playing, and it showed. If that's what you want to consider showmanship. Very little planned there. And I've read a couple of old interviews and the remaining two guys from the band said SRV never planned or practiced a move.

And, Clancy hit it on the money!! Prince can play as well as put on a show.

I just look at it this way, if the person can really perform on their instrument and entertain through the skill and interacting with the audience, well, then that's showmanship. Doesn't have to be practiced moves or antics.

But then, that's me........what do I know!!
