Went to see Buddy Guy last night with Triode Pete and Stereonut.



The man is simply amazing. Just weeks away from his 83rd birthday, he went out there and flat out kicked @ss!!!!

The tour is in support of this latest album, "The Blues is Alive and Well", which I was able to find on Qobuz in 96/24

The opening act for Buddy Guy was Kenny Wayne Shepherd, who also has a new album that I pulled up on Qobuz (this one in 48/24)



Hard charging blues in a style reminiscent of SRV.

Buddy Guy: Feels Like Rain



Silvertone CD

Well you could knock me over with a feather. I had this on when my wife came home and I took it off and put on the Tony Bennett CD I found for her at Mr. Cheapos this afternoon and she came into the room and said "why did you take that other thing off, I was getting to like it."

Never in a million years would I have predicted that my ballerina wife would ask me to put on some blues.

Looks like being exposed to all of the different things I play is actually staring to broaden her musical horizons. How 'bout that.

Buddy Guy & Junior Wells: The Original Blues Brothers



Magnum Music Group CD

Recorded Live at the 1964 Chicago Blues festival.

Unfortunately is sounds as if it was recorded using  single mic place al the way in the back of the room.

I'm glad I borrowed this one from the library and didn't lay out any cash for it.

Hard charging blues in a style reminiscent of SRV.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd, IMHO, stole the show... he was a reincarnated Stevie Ray Vaughn with a little Jimi Hendrix mixed in... an opening act with standing ovations and TWO encores... he was worth the price of admission ALONE!!!

BTW, he was using SRV's old "Double Trouble" drummer Chris Layton... WoW!

Roger Daltrey: The Who’s "Tommy" Orchestral



Qobuz Streaming

Any advantage that would come from modern recording technology or playing with the London Symphony is far overshadowed by the fact that Daltrey's voice is 50 years older than it was when they first did Tommy.

I would much rather just stick with the original recording. Of course YMMV.
