Wow, what a trip. St. Louis ’ own New Soul Cowboys opened the show (and stole the show) they were raw, had energy, sounded great – exactly how a live performance should be. Great job guys!!
Buddy Guy, this guy can sing and play guitar - what a gift. He's like a dirty old uncle, highly animated and says what comes to mind. This made the fifth time I've seen Buddy, of which four of them were the same show. a stroll thru the blues; Jimi, Clapton, Muddy. While Buddy had lots of energy and a great backing band it's the same shtick; drum stick on guitar, same comments, same set, spinning guitar, etc. The highlight was his latest original and title track Skin Deep, so for that, thanks.
Now to B.B. King ....... there's no question that this guy has done more good for the blues than anybody, been around the world many times, everybody knows his songs, but last night the B.B. was not the one I want to remember.
So, where is the fine line of leaving on top of the world or crossing the line and perhaps trying to relive the glory days of raw energy with great sound?
