    I saw him last year. He was amazing, especially for a 70-something year old guy. I wish I had that much energy, and he's got 45 years on me.
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    He'll talk more than he plays, but he's a legend, so he gets cut slack on that matter.

    Agreed. Saw him about 4 years ago at the Chesapeake Bay Blues Fest but the performance got shortened by rain. Sorry, I couldn't get the whole performance but what he played was great. :cool:

    The term "living legend" gets way over used but, in reference to Buddy Guy,it fits.
    If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money.

    He just played Wed-Sun for the whole month of January in Chicago at his club "Buddy Guy's Legends" and I was trying to coordinate a trip in with friends to see a show but the weather was a real issue.

    His club is small, there is no assigned seating and it's first come first serve and in many instances there were lines out front 2-3 hours before the doors opened at 4PM. So I'm about 1.5 hours from Donwtown Chicago. So I'd have to leave about 11AM to stand in line for 2-3 hours out in the cold, get inside and seated at 4PM and sit for 5 hours when he hits the stage at 9PM or later.

    It just wasn't doable for the $60/person they charge. I would have loved to see him in that intimate setting. He has become one of my all-time top 3 guitar players. The guy is just incredible.
