It looks as though we were seated in the same section. you videotaped the back of my head, I was in the front row. Lol!

It's funny to see him walking slowly near/among the people/aging audience and followed by couple security guards in case he falls and hurt himself on a stair or cement floor or carpet ... @ his age.
He's the the presiding Blues legend. He's the Jimi Hendrix bluesman.

And yes, the venue is not like a premium acoustic classical concert hall.
It's Blues man; it comes with the territory...Mississippi and raw...the Delta, and Texas.

Bob any concert at the now defunct Universal Amphitheater (now a Harry Potter ride) was always a premium audio experience regardless of genre. Never needed ear plugs and could always hear everything, much to the chagrin of a few Metal Heads.

It's true, he's one of the few remaining from the Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, BB King era. That's why he try's to bring the young talent along to keep the blues alive. It's a very small community of talented artist that just love to play for the fans at small intimate venues.

So cool.

Yes Mike, the Blues can sound very audiophile in premium venues.
I was only commenting from what you and AZ experienced in that particular venue, plus the two short videos you shot. But it isn't about audiophile blues sound here, it's about the legend Buddy Guy live, up close and personal. Blues is more intimate than say large rock music concerts (stadiums and arenas, etc.) or operas and choral music in large cathedrals and concert halls.
Blues is more in alleys, jazz clubs, smaller dancing venues.

Buddy Guy is always smiling and happy, he has a great persona with tremendous charisma.
He's the full talented package; persona, guitar playing, voice singing, smooth moves.

You guys assisted to a great blues legend; a big part of my music repertoire.
And thinking of Ron (big Ronnie Earl's fan, me too) and Davey ...

I also saw this guy on that above list ...

This is audiophile music record label (Reference Recordings).
And Doug had a big blues impact in my life when I first discovered him a quarter century ago on AudioQuest Music record label (1994). Today I'm one of his biggest blues music fans.

If you're a blues fan, it's an incredible list.

 

[NorthStar]

I can't say that I know them all; quickly by names approximately one quarter to one third.
You know more than a third from that list?

Probably half. The rest gives me a great list to investigate from..

I have 'Come to find' and 'There's a time'.... the extent of my collection of Doug.
Would love to catch him live, one day.

LOL! Concert footage of OK sound recorded on a cell phone with the microphone pointed at the floor between people and folding chairs...bout as raw as it gets!

I saw that and will have to monitor the situation, starting a new job and all. Robert Cray never disappoints!
Wouldn't it be awesome to have Popa Chubby do Sweat and the SRV do Tin Pan Alley followed by Jimi doing Born Under A Bad Sign! One of my fantasy sets.

 

[Hi-FiGuy]

Listen to the tone on the Hammond B3 with the Leslie all the way through Sweat, perfection!

 

[Hi-FiGuy]

Ready?

Actually really liked that, the keys are off the hook!
