It says all you need to know about Buddy Guy that the music genre that he has come to embody, the Chicago Blues, could never hope to contain him. In the more than 55 years since the Louisiana moved to Chicago and embarked on one of the most influential careers a guitarist could ever hope for (just ask Eric Clapton), Guy is still pushing the envelope of his artistry. But what is remarkable about this Rock N' Roll Hall of Famer is that he isn't sacrificing an iota of his relevancy while doing so. Guy proves it not just in concerts that are as high energy now as they were when he was heralding a rock guitar revolution in the 1960's, but also on the charts. His 2010 musical autobiography-of-sorts Living Proof was the blues legend's highest carting record to date, while his 2013 double disk follow up Rhythm and Blues was #1 on the Blues chart and showed 77-year-old to be every bit the firecracker as guest stars Kid Rock and Arrowsmith. If his last few decades have proven anything, it's that a ticket to a Buddy Guy concert isn't simply a tour through blues history, but an opportunity to see a genre's foremost practitioner still at the top of his game, with as much to say as ever has.
Eddie Gale was amazing and so was Buddy Guy! So happy we were able to see both! The seating was extremely too close to each other so very uncomfortable!
I’ve been to a lot of concerts. This one was the most fun!!
Bubby Guy is GREAT....he can really put on a fantastic show. Keep Rocking!!!!
This was an awesome experience. If you enjoy old blues with great vocals and guitar work, this is a must see concert. Eric Gales, the opening act, was also phenomenal. A fine mixture of blues, rock and jazz. All in all, a beautiful experience!!!
Buddy Guy was great to get to see, but the real show was his headliner Eric Gales. WOW! What an incredible show he put on- making it hard for anyone to come behind that.
Buddy has still got it after all these years. He's better at 87 than many artists half his age. He continues to interact with the audience like he's in a small blues club.
First off, Buddy was amazing. What a legend, and his sound mix was terrific. But what on earth happened to the mix for Eric Gales? It sounded like the guy running the desk maxed out bass and removed nids and highs for every but Gales' guitars which was pegged all the way at Max treble and about 3x louder than it should have been. Two drummers and a serious issue with the bass subsonics made for a muddy booming low end with no definition, covered by screeching lead guitar. All the people around me were seriously concerned that Buddy's mix would be as bad, but his was great. So the question for the sound guy from Saturday night, is this. Did Eric tell you to push that mix, or did you think it sounded good? Because either way, it was terrible.
Opening band very cool,OG older than I hoped for, short show, glad to see Mr Guy tho
Great place all around..Buddy was great and put on a show especially for 87 yrs old. Eric Gales is my new favorite band
Great to see his son play with him…glad to see him entertain using a towel on the guitar and drumstick's…. At 87 yrs of age he is still worth seeing
