Only saw Buddy one time. I was at a street fair in San Diego watching R Cray. He cuts his set a little short and apologizes and tells the crowd that "Buddy Guy is going to play in 10 minutes the next block over and I am not going to miss his show for nothing". Half the crowd turns around and moves down the block. Robert and his band stood there with everyone else and watched the show. Buddy came down off of the stage and was walking around the street playing. It was a blast. Every show has a story😊
Cool!
Great story! Thanks for sharing. I also had the pleasure of seeing Buddy perform. It was in Central Park at the old band shell in NYC . At one point he left the stage in the middle of a song but we could still hear his guitar. There was a commotion at stage right and we knew he was coming into the crowd. People were following him like the Pied Piper and there was a bit of a dust cloud behind the group as he led them further away from the stage. He got about midway through the crowd, turned, and started coming straight towards me and my group. He got to where we were and we started going nuts and yelling and jumping around. Amazingly, he stopped and a huge circle formed around him. Somebody patted him on the back but he wagged his finger "no no no" at the guy and the people moved back a little. He saw a little kid about 5 or 6 years old and waved him into the middle of the circle and proceeded to rip an incredible solo with the kid looking up at him in awe. Everyone was going bananas at this point. Then Buddy high-fived the kid and turned back toward the stage with the crowd parting in front of him like the Red Sea as he walked away. He continued soloing as we tried to pick up our jaws off the floor. He returned to the stage to a thunderous ovation with a huge smile on his face and finished the show triumphantly. That was some of the greatest showmanship I have ever seen and I remember it like it was yesterday even though it was about 30 years ago. I believe he was the greatest performer in the world on that particular day.
Robert Cray such a Class Act. He was the main attraction at a concert and he gave up the number one spot for Etta James. I thought that showed such class. A salute
Now THAT'S a great pub story mate.. nice one 👍🎸😎🏴🇬🇧
I don't know how many have noticed but NOBODY has more fun at a Buddy Guy show than Buddy Guy.
I've seen him had least 10 times and met him once. At one show he stumbled coming down the stairs from the stage and another guy and I caught him and kept him from falling. later when he was throwing out picks he came over to me, took my hand and pressed a pick into it.
Cool!
Buddy Guy! I have seen him live at least a dozen times. Far cooler than that back in the late 80s and early 90s I had the amazing good fortune to be able to sit down and talk to him about his playing and music not once, but twice! Buddy is truly nice and genuine in person. The fist time I met him I started by telling him I played guitar, and commented on the equipment he had used that night. I asked him about his equipment, noting that he was using a full Marshall stack and playing a guild semi hollow, etc. He listened and answered my questions politely and intelligently, and commented I had a sharp eye for detail. He took me by surprise when he spread his fingers wide and put his hand directly in front of my face saying "Its in the hands, not the equipment." Haha! It was a great moment and great advice from one of the Greats. Yes!
The second time I met him was at the same venue. I was there with my girlfriend and a friend who is a professional photographer. We sat and talked and Alex took pictures (which sadly I have no copies of). I asked him about his upcoming shows. Over the next couple of weeks he was playing a huge festival in California, the Montreux Jazz Festival I think. Then he was going to England for a performance at the Royal Albert Hall, followed by an all star show Eric with Clapton, Robert Cray, and Stevie Ray Vaughn. That show was Stevie's last.
Thinking back on all that, it is a surreal batch of memories. This video looks to be from around the time I met him. Both times the famed harmonica player Junior Wells was there as well, and I met and talked with him too. It was amazing, but Buddy Guy was special. Meeting him really inspired me at an age (19,and 24). where events like that can have a big impact. Buddy Guy has been my hero ever since. I was a heavy metal guy at that time, but meeting Buddy inspired me with his passionate blues playing and launched me into a love of the blues. Buddy Guy is the best showman you will ever see, and a damn good guitarist. He has a quirky style that is matched by none. After all, he is Buddy Guy.
Awesome!
What a great story - Thanks!
Jimi Hendrix once told Buddy that he was one of his biggest influences, now THAT is a compliment! Living near Chicago, I have seen Buddy play many times at his club Buddy Guy's Legends, and he puts on a show like few others. He has such joy in his heart when he plays and you can see it on his face. He is a guitar pioneer, an excellent player, and one heck of a nice guy! Thanks for making this Fil, now check out Albert Collins.
Cool! Will do!
Robert Burke I saw Buddy at Muddy Waters Checkerboard Lounge
I remember he played outdoors at a Jazz/Blues festival here. He had his guitar on wireless, and he went out into the crowd, and picked a little girl (maybe around 7-9 years old), and had her strum the guitar while he fretted chords, etc. All live. When the weather took a turn for the worse, clouds darkening the sky, the temperature dropping and you could tell a shower was coming, he just naturally segued into "Feels Like Rain". One of the best natural entertainers I have ever seen, and with a good sense of humour and wicked chops and blues singing voice to boot.
Haha awesome!
Buddy Guy is the greatest of all time. Hendrix too! He was a huge influence on Hendrix, the showmanship, wild abandon. He was the biggest musical epiphany in my life. Saw him at 16, blew me away with that infectious passion and joy. He stood and signed autographs , never left the stage, for an hour after the band left. He is what every musician should play for, the passion of music.
👍
Great job capturing the essence of Buddy Guy, Fil! I'm from the Chicago area, have seen Buddy a few times recently, and in his own club a few years back (where he is super-comfortable - it's his 'home'). Like you say - those bends (!) that just keep going when you least expect it, the fun with the crowd, the dynamics, going sooo low and then the "melt your face" insanely intense burst of energy. If you love the Blues go see him, he is better than ever, and he's the last of that generation. Thanks for doing such a great job covering this Blues master!
Cool! No problem ☺
I was at this performance at the 1993 Woodlands Blues Festival which included Koko Taylor, Lonnie Brooks, Junior Wells, Buddy Guy, Eric Johnson, B.B. King & Gregg Allman. My wife and I actually appear in the full video when Buddy walked past us while he was walking through the audience. We used to have great festivals like this in Houston 25+ years ago, but unfortunately no more. Now its all hip hop, pop, country, and Mexican music. Buddy is really a joy to watch even if you don't like Blues.
Cool!
I will never forget seeing him in Holland 1992, I was 16 or 17 years old. In my mind he was already an old man then, he BLEW me away. Energy, Dynamics, SHowmanship. My knees get weak just writing this.
I like to think he played the intro of Voodoo Chile because he saw me wearing a Hendrix shirt. He started, quit and said "enough of this"
LOL!!!!
Haha cool!
Seeing him play live was such a joy! At one point he walks out in to the crowd and worked his way around the auditorium never missing a beat! Amazing!
Remember seeing Buddy play at the student union at the U of Iowa back in ‘89 (I think). What struck me most besides his wonderful playing and showmanship, was his powerful voice. It was a fairly small venue, but the room was big enough. Most of the time he spent prowling around singing without a mic. Perfectly audible - more than that, strong! It was like hearing him play in someone’s living room :)
Cool!
I know he played Hubbard Park in May of 92 with Blues Traveler. That was my first Buddy show, been about 6 or 7 more times over the years.
This is the man that Jimi looked up to and inspired him
👍
The last song SRV ever played was Sweet Home Chicago. I was there at Alpine Valley that night. It was at the end of Clapton’s set. Stevie had finished playing earlier in the night. We had heard Clapton had brought out Jeff Harley for his encore the previous night. We were excited to see who Eric would bring out. He announced Ladies and Gentleman, the World’s Greatest Guitarists. And out walks Stevie and Jimmie Vaughan, Phil Palmer (Eric’s side guitarist on this tour), Robert Cray and Buddy Guy. They did a jam of Sweet Home Chicago that lasted nearly 20 minutes with everyone taking multiple solos. It was absolutely amazing. And then Stevie died within an hour.
I still can't get over it, what a loss.
I can't get over it either. Seems unreal, even 28 years later.
I heard Robert cray recount that last jam... Said that nite everyone was talking about stevies sound that night,said it was beyond electric. Like Stevie knew it was his last night on earth
One of my all time favorites.. love it . Feels Like Rain is one my absolute favorites. The way he can bend one note and completely make a song . LOVE HIM. Awesome choice . 🤘🏻
Pentatonic Magic! "Can ya' all hear me?" These guys sure knew how to engage a crowd! Love it. We need MORE dudes like this! Thanks man,
Amen!
Buddy used to show up several times a year at Albert's Hall in Toronto during the 1980s when nobody was paying attention to the blues. He was normally awesome but there were days when you could see the frustration that the talent was not being acknowledged. The biker types were making up a big chunk of the audience in his shows and supported him and Junior Wells. I think that most of us were appreciative of his showmanship. At times, when the weather was good and the crowds were so large that customers had to line up outside he would take that huge extension cord and take the show outside. It was amazing to see him doing his thing outside while the notes that he was playing were blasting from the open windows upstairs. The magic was there as was a tragedy of never getting the attention that he deserved.
Had the good fortune to see Buddy a couple weeks ago, an absolutely ELECTRIC performer... even at 82 years old!
Awesome!
We spent a fat chunk of the Chicago Blues Festival at Legends some years back. Buddy had non-stop fabulous unknowns booked for the whole weekend, which he spent fussing over his handmade soulfood buffet and hanging with folks at the club. Pretty epic. I've seen him play many times--also consisently epic. Also cool is that he tours as an opener for guys he thinks he can help boost. I saw him in that capacity with both Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Johnny Lang.
Cool!
Steve Bass thanks bro... just confirmed what I’ve always believed to be true.. Buddy has always been bigger than his music for me.. 💯🎸☮️
Steve Bass Quinn Sullivan is another kid buddy took under his wing.. 19 year old guitar genius
@@stevetrivago Yeah, i bet you've seen the vids of Buddy putting Sullivan on stage at 9 years old. All those old guys, (many of whom aren't with us now), have always been glad to see young new players come up. Have y'all seen this? Oh, wait, my phone won't let me. I'll make another post.
Here's Albert King in a near ceremonial passing of the torch to SRV, from a Canadian t.v. show shortly before Montreaux, Bowie, etc. th-cam.com/video/gZB57b3lPQE/w-d-xo.html
I've had the pleasure of seeing Buddy on 4 occasions. He playing more intimate smaller venues now. Very personal...only man I've seen to use his handkerchief while performing. On my 3rd and 4tih shows I became more brave and approached the stage after the show while he was placing guitar pick literally in some peoples hand. As he passed by I said, " I appreciate your gigs George! Recognize his birth name he smiled and presented a pick both times. Now in his early 80s money is always well spent at his venues. Please see him if he comes close to your hometown.and or countries. Very humble man and personal man.
Saw him in Tulsa, Oklahoma this year at the Hard Rock. Great show!
Great analysis Fil in showcasing these wonderful guitarist's, blue's rules !
Thanks!
Buddy Guy is my favorite guitarist if all time. Even Jimi Hendrix went to see Buddy play and incorporated Buddy’s style and licks.
Awesome thank You
No problem!
I know I say this a lot, but Buddy Guy is legitimately in my top 5 list of favorite guitarists of all time. I've seen him live so many times I can't even count. Buddy can do more with one note than most guitarists do with an entire song. I've met him on a few occasions and he is just the coolest, nicest down to earth guys and funny as hell. He is truly one of the last of the old school bluesman.
I first met Buddy while going into a pub for a beer. A crazy black man with a guitar ran down the stairs and played up to the young lady I was with. The music was blasting upstairs and when the outer door opened up his guitar licks could be heard from the windows above the door. We never made it into the pub and wound up going upstairs for a show. We kept going for the rest of the week. And the next time he showed up. And the next. And so on. He and Junior were one of the best acts that I have ever heard and both were amazing with their interactions with fans. Wherever they showed up the local bikers would show up as would more than a few of the suits and older people. I miss those days.
I got to see Buddy a couple of years ago, he's hilarious, he's an old school entertainer, and a giant among guitarists.
Cool!
I had the great pleasure of seeing Buddy play an open air show in downtown Savannah, Georgia, in the 1990s. During one song, he came down off the stage and walked through the crowd while jamming. To my complete amazement and shock he stopped right in front of me and jammed for about 30 seconds. Like, a foot away, facing me... it was exhilarating and terrifying. I like to lie to myself and think he sensed a fellow player and decided to bless me with a great, personal, unforgettable gift. What a memory. Great video, Fil.
Thanks for all the passion and knowledge you communicate in your videos! Being a foreigner from the other side of the channel, I also enjoy them as a brilliant English listening practice! I didn't know about Buddy Guy other than by name and until I saw him for the first time perform in a short appearance as a guest-star in a filmed Rolling Stones concert when it came out at the cinema... What I've seen in your videos on him is doing its job. Now I've got to keep listening and digging for more.
One thing I like about Buddy Guy is his willingness to encourage young blues musicians.
No wonder why he was so respected by all of the greats!!!
Rock the Blues!!!
👍
Fil, love your program, thanks for taking the time to share. Buddy Guy is fun to see live, like you mention, he is so in touch with the audience. Love the second solo, it has that great warm fuzz on it, as you said... I think his amp/effects go to 11 ha ha. Thanks again.
No problem!
I lived about 1 mile from his club ("Legends") in a cool Chicago nbhood called the South Loop from 2002 to '13. It was a rockin blues club - really great. I was in there about once a month. There were often celebs who would wander in. I sat next to Al Franken one night. A great friend of mine was in the club once or twice a week just to sit at the bar. He got to be friends with Buddy. He was actually a very cool guy.
Awesome!
Hey Fil... BillyJ south of Pittsburgh... sorry man been out of town but just caught Buddy. Fortunately got to see him small venue.. just cool as heck... came through the audience still playing... dude just does was he does... nice... have a nice night....👍
Hi BillyJ, that's cool!
Both Buddy Guy and Luther Allison had regular stops to gig once or twice a year in Minneapolis back in the 70’s. They would play a saloon called The Joint which had an outdoor concert space. Not many chairs there and nobody sitting down when these players took the stage. Great showmen as well as musicians. They would ride the shoulders of a bouncer out in to the crowd, play behind the back, teeth, upside down, whatever it took to get the crowd to dance and shake. The joy created on those Summer nights by that music was transcendent. Jimi Hendrix was known to be a great fan of Buddy’s.
Cool!
Been gettin’ an education on the blues lately🎓Buddy’s a God and at 82 he’s still at it!! He’s on tour now.....
Yeah he never stops!
His own style? Buddy Guy has EVERYBODY'S style! I saw him at Antone's, in Austin, TX, about a month after Stevie passed, and he lit that place up, on his own hook - but then he started doing "imitations" of other guitarists! Elmore James, BB King, Muddy Waters, Albert Collins, Albert King - and Steve Ray Vaughn! Not just a testament to the man's own talent, but how he respects and honors other musicians by really *listening* to them and *watching* how they make their own magic. I've heard others do it, but not like Buddy - you could close your eyes and not know who was really playing. There's really no one like him, and if you ever get a chance to see him live, SEIZE that opportunity!
I saw Buddy Guy twice live. He is amazing. Great video. Cheers Fil!
Awesome!
Once again a great analogy Fil. I've seen Buddy many times over many years and his command of the crowd is incredible. His ability to hold the mood whilst controlling his voice and guitar volume is incredible. Walking round the audience handing his pick to children and have them strum whilst he plays the fretboard inspires all he interacts with. Never one to shy away from sharing his skills.....a true legend.
Cool!
I love seeing such energy in the crowd, blues is all about emotions, and it's just the direction in which Buddy takes his performances it's truly amazing!!!
👍
Hi Fil, Saw Buddy last month in Ridgefield, Wa. He was, as always, fantastic. He has a "Back Up" guitarist that is also a dynamite talent, a tribute to Buddy that he would want serious competition on stage with him. At 82 he had the entire crowd firmly in his grip. Thanks for the great analysis!
Cool!
I am so jealous! Not to be dour, but I keep telling myself, I've got to see Buddy before it's too late.
Clyde Cavalieri Yes, one must not pass up an opportunity. I did that with John Lee Hooker, he was here, I was going to go, I forgot and then he died the next week!
When I saw him in Oberlin, Ohio (mid 80's) he had an assistant "mind" his cord which was over 200 feet long, while Buddy roamed the audience, ripping a solo.
Haha cool!
I've heard of Buddy Guy but never saw or heard him sing or play guitar . I love it ! That's another thing I like about your channel is being introduced to guitar players / singers I've never been exposed to. Thanks Fil
No problem!
This was one of the first videos I saw on TH-cam, it actually gave me a shot in the arm to start playing properly again as I had fallen out of love with it... thank you Mr Guy👌🔥
Cool!
The great entertainer. A legend. That's what Blues is all about!
Amen!
One of the greatest guitar players of all time a giant among players so talented Buddy Guy.
👍
I agree that the holy grail is to achieve your own sound but the difference with Buddy and few others is the holy grail of letting the audience feel every note he is playing. Much as I am a Ritchie devotee and love many more recent and new guitarists, for me Buddy Guy and T-Bone Walker will always be on my play and watch list! Great video and appraisal if I might say so.
Thanks!
The first blues musician I ever heard, in 1971 live at SPAC. He rocked my world and turned it upside down. 💗. There's a video of Hendrix grooving to Buddy's live set.
Cool!
Hendrix learned EVERYTHING he knew from Buddy Guy before and when He came to London when Clapton and his peers helped to make him famous and took blues back to the US reinvented.. 👍🎸😎🏴🇬🇧
Amazing how many blues guitarists he influenced his uniqueness is captivating !!!! My god the man can play!!! And the crowd just rocks along!!! Legendary !!!! Cheers Fil !!!!!
👍
Talk about communicating with the crowd, When I saw him perform he walked up the aisle of the amphitheater playing the whole time.
missed this one, great analysis FIL. Keep rocking!
Thanks! Will do!
Buddy and his magnificent soul!
Seen Buddy 12 or 13 times at different blues festivals around the East Coast. ...He is a master true master
Awesome!
I saw Buddy live once and that was enough. An accomplished guitar player, whose ego is bigger than the earth. Now maybe I caught him on a bad night, but I almost walked out. He was basically saying that he was the best guitar player ever, and he taught Clapton, Page, and everyone else how to play. He seemed like a bitter man.
Ouch!
Great choice Fil. Seen him 100's of times. His club is down the street from my house. Great guy. Great player. So fantastic live. Thanks for this Fil.
Awesome!
You can tell by watching Buddy Guy, that he would go up there and play for next to nothing, just to get the opportunity to play! You can see he loved it! You can never watch him, no matter how bad you feel, without having a smile on your face! I absolutely love watching him every time I've ever seen him! Thanks for doing a video on one of the best blues guitarists and best all around performers ever!👍😎🎸🎶
No problem!
'82 years young!! Buddy never ages.
Yeah!
You can still see Buddy play at his club in Chicago
Thank you so much for this. I was waiting for you to to comment on BG and knew you would as no guitar channel could be complete w/o him Beck and SRV
👍
Buddy is about the last of the original electric blues men. Always thought he had the heaviest, sweetest lead tone out there. Great job Fil!!
Thanks Terry!
Great analysis of a TRUELY GREAT Player ! Love his audience connection, his ability to command the audience & his delivery! When he sang Yonder Wall & backed it with guitar. WOW! Brother Fil & I both were having a Blast! HA. Like you said Fil, the Great players seem to get BETTER when they push it, walking the line of their talent or ability. Take it to the limit & THEN Some!! Buddy is incomparable in his Passion & Performance! I LOVE IT , FIL!!! THANK YOU!!
No problem!
Nice to see you representing the Blues
Yes more blues players from the past and present please
Hey, Phil! Love these vids you do, critiquing various performances. They are great! While I'm not a musician (unless you count playing drums in elementary school ;-) one thing I've come to see: The "top" players don't have to look at their hands while they are playing. Their hands just know where to go. This may not be the best "metric" for musicians, but it seems to be a pretty good guide for expertise...
Yeah the top players know their shapes! So even with your eyes closed, you know where you are on the fretboard!
Muscle memory. You learn not to poke your nose with a fork when you’re eating. You know how to ride a bike, with or, without an engine. You can use a smart phone with thumbs to text. Practice and then you get good. Jose Feliciano probably never looked at a fret once in his career. Some people have the ability and desire to be able to do different things. Figure out what you want and what you need to do to make it happen. Players that have had thousands of hours playing, have been teaching their brain and muscles to learn. And then the next couple of months are gonna be easy and the next couple of weeks are gonna be easier, and then the next couple days... see how that works?
I saw a Buddy Guy show about 12 years ago and he just owned the stage and played and sang great. A true legend, thank God he's still around. He recently put a new album out so he's keeping at it, not retiring.
Cool! Yeah he's still going!
What a humble man. The last of his kind.
Buddy Guy is one of my all-time favorites!! Something great about him (and a lot of other electric blues guitarists) is that he gets that amazing tone without a bunch of effects other than maybe a wah pedal, a cranked amp, those hands and his trusty volume knob! 🤘🏻🎸😎
Cool!
One of my favourite ever gig moments: 2001. 13 year old me sitting right at the back of the Royal Festival Hall 'seeing' BG - well I couldn't see him that well but he sure was rocking. Then a few bars into the solo of Damn Right I Got The Blues he starts chatting to the tech side-stage and we lose him, obviously I start thinking there's a problem but impressed he's still playing. Next thing I know he's walking right in to the audience (still playing) and sits down in the back row and has a little chat to the guy next to him while soloing away.
Haha cool!
Everyone should aspire to play blues guitar. Like jazz, I feel that it is so free flowing, that you feel like you could go on for eternity.
👍
He's still out there performing at age 83. . try to stop him !
If you're unaware of it, check out the story of Buddy mentoring a child prodigy of the blues, Quinn Sullivan. The kid was born to play the blues ! Since age 5 or 6 he said his hero was Buddy Guy & wanted to meet him. He did, at age 8 (2007) and Buddy had him onstage, and began mentoring him, took him touring. The boy is now a young man of 20 with his own successful performing & recording career, and has played with the big names in blues. He & Buddy still perform together, there are videos.
I saw Buddy Guy at a club in Orlando in about the year 2000, and he was amazing! I love the guy because he absolutely pushes that guitar to the limit (Eric Clapton says he loves Buddy Guy because "he plays great and he always seems as if he's on the verge of losing control"... but he doesn't lose control, he just has this great, emotional sound!. An influence on me, and I'm nowhere in his league as a guitar player. At one point, he walked through the crowd and just kept playing great, he completely connected with the 200 or so people in that club. Gotta love this guy, what a legend. :)
Some years ago I was studying and playing a lot of Jimi Hendrix. I start studying his influences as well. I bought a DVD of the Montreux Jazz Festival.. Buddy Guy and Carlos Santana play Stormy Monday and blew my mind. I very immediately saw where Jimi got a lot of his bends and technique from.
👍
What Kind of Woman is This and Feels Like Rain are two of favorites. But anything he sings is all right with me.
Ha! Yes, you have done him, this version too, he is is a risky, dangerous, inspirational and crazy player! Some of the time I find he can be hit and miss but always exciting BTW I stole all those two tone bends ages ago, it is indeed a great sound, you can do the tone bend over and over then, just hit the big one to end phrase, I love when he bends down while applying vibrato too and that voice and how his lead guitar and vocal contain same touchs.. So much to love with Buddy..
Amen!
Had the privilege of seeing him at B.B. King's House of Blues in New York last May, he hasn't lost his energy or his sense of humour one bit! Still an amazing showman and performer :)
Cool!
I saw Buddy in concert, at the Beacon theater in NYC, he had his polka dot strat and a wireless rig and literally walked up and down the isles playing his heart out. The dude had the energy of a twenty year old!!
Awesome!
I saw him in Tacoma Washington I went with a friend in a wheelchair Buddy came down and used my friends fingers to play a solo
Buddy wasn’t just a guitarist, he was a pro former.
Buddy is my all time favorite Bluesman! influenced literally everyone in rock
👍
Buddy is the king of the blues dynamic, great player and a great man too.
Amen!
Hey Phil great pick I've seen buddy live a few times and he's influenced so many countless RAWKERS wow you just said that while I was writing....trip...hes such a great live performer and loves the small clubs he's a true blues RAWKER...i guess it's the same in England as well he's managed to keep the blues alive what a great artist... Thanx Phill..... maybe someday you might do something with the late Albert Collins...
Will do!
Thanks Fil for giving props to a national treasure.
No problem!
Just watched video of the Danielle Nicole band at the Bean Blossum blues festival now shes a singer( great vocalist) and a bass player her lead player is not bad hes got good vibrato with his finger and plays some nice riffs hes also got a great tone
👍
Love him! Hoochie Coochie Man, on my playlist. He is what Sexy guitar playing is........ Another Great, Muddy Waters, Gary B.B. Coleman, The Sky is Crying........Thank you ❤️
... ONE OF THE BEST GUITAREST , EVER ..!!! ...
I'm usually not that big into blues players but because I usually don't get to listen to guys this damn good! If you could give a go to my personal favorite blues player, Howlin' Wolf, whenever you get a chance I'd be awesome.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Awesome
Totally agree with standing at a venue as well
👍
jimi and stevie and eric loved him ...what a bad ass
👍
working as part of the tech crew for a outdoor theater couple of years during college, worked the sound board for a jazz festival weekend, buddy guy, robert lockwood jr, , george benson, so many others over those 3 days. remember thinking wow i am getting paid for this ? would have done it for free lol
lol sorry i guess i am adding another i remember when
Awesome!
I appreciate your program find it interesting since I love music and a interest in music been posting your videos on face book ty! very much
Thanks!
I saw Buddy Guy back Eric Clapton to the back of the stage..
Amen...
A bit of trivia its widely believed that the famous crossroads where Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil is the crossroads in Clarksdale ms. At US61 and US 49 however some say it was a crossroadz in Rosedale ms .
There's a long queue at that crossroads!
WHO SAID YOU CANT DO THE BLUES ON GUITAR..........................SO GOOD, HIS OWN STILE BUT REGIONALLY , CHICAGO; BEAUTIFUL!. NEW TO YOUR CHANNEL, GREAT REACTIONS , I LOVE YOUR COVER OF " BEHIND BLUE EYES ". OLD PETER U S A
Thanks Peter!
It is amazing to me, who came 1st, the chicken or The Egg, Hendrix had already played with Buddy in NYC, had asked to JAM with Buddy, the greatest picking up some riffs to be placed on Ice for future reference Jimi was mightily influenced by Buddy ¡😎¡
👍
Great! Acording to his personality and comuncating with crowd,check his performance on Crossroads with Rony Wood playing "i miss you"....
👍
Buddy is completely alucinegic :-) I don't know the name of the other guitar player, but he's also great. Great video, rock.
Thanks!
The first shot of the crowd reminded me of the Spinal Tap and Puppet Show scene.🤘
😅
RodBolt actually it was puppet show and Spinal Tap😆
I noticed it right off how he drew the crowd in, me including myself!
👍
He opens with some Clapton- esque tone. Wonder who got it from who. Saw him twice down here in Texas. His old album of him playing in San Francisco is damn good, loaded with horns. Great review, loved comments on his bends.
😂👍
As they have said BG was Hendrix before Hendrix He was psychedelia before psychedelia. Definitely one of the all time greats
👍
