As a Blues novice who has 40 plus years of listening to R/R, and being fairly unfamiliar with any one artist's work, this show was superb from a performance standpoint. Castro grabbed the audience by the short ones and didn't let go for 1.5 hours +. His band filled with excellent musicians, everyone of who had their chance to shine. To single one out wouldn't be fair and to be honest, of the many R/R concerts I've gone to over the years, this band was probably the best I've ever seen. As soon as I thought I knew what was coming, Castro did something else, new and refreshing. From what I could tell, the audience was filled with many Castro veterans and they were excited as I was. Castro knew several members of the audience, I assume from previous shows, but he made everyone feel welcome, opening at the rear of the room and moving through the audience to the stage. He later repeated the feat. As someone who likes his music LOUD, the band was at the upper limit throughout the show.
If you have a chance to catch Tommy Castro, GO! You won't be disappointed.
