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.
Buddy Guy was amazing a vs usual. This is the 9th time I’ve seen him.. Can’t wait for the next time…
I loved this show so much. It was great fun. I love the venue in Westbury, too. Great place to see a show. Not a bad seat in the house.
Buddy Guy is 87 and still ROCKIN' the house. I've gone to his shows since 1967. He ages like a fine wine.
What a treasure! First, Bobby Rush was superb. His voice, humor, and harmonica all came through with stunning force. Truly astounding musician. Buddy brought it! His voice hasn't changed a bit for this listener. It's magically clear with powerful projection. It really goes beyond the explainable. Thank you to both for maintaining the quality we've come to expect (and deeply appreciate).
Bobby Rush and Buddy Guy are simply the greatest musicians ever. Both put on an extraordinary show. Given their ages, almost 88 and 91, they are incomparable!!
Buddy was awesome. I teared up a bit leaving thinking this is probably the last time I will get to see him. He's entertaining as well as being a great blues man.
Great show, Bobby Rush was a hoot also! Sounded great!
Excellent show, my first blues show. I so wish he was retiring. Great drinks and I really felt secure with the metal detectors and extra security.
I've seen Buddy Guy several times before. I know he's older now, so I did not expect the same level of energy. He was still extremely good. His band is exceptional. However, his opening act, Bobby Rush, although he has skills with a long resume, (which he outlined several times), was on for way too long. Then he comes back out for the final 20 minutes with BG. By this point I had just about enough of him.
Buddy Guy is amazing. At his age, 87 years old, to do a 90 minute set is quite something. And to boot, he hasn't lost a musical step at all. If you're a fan of traditional Blues -- think BB King, Albert King, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf et al. - - you'll enjoy the concert immensely.
