We heard Taj Mahal and bunch of other greats. But the best was listening to Jr. Wells and Buddy play. We heard that Buddy was opening a club that night called “Buddy Guy's Legends”. We cut the festival short, got something to eat and made it over there before the crowd. I bought a shirt. We sat at a table right up front. When it got packed, people were sitting, bunched together on the dance floor in front of us. I'll never forget when Buddy played "Knock On Wood". Right before Buddy’s guitar break, a stagehand came onto the stage carrying a ton of cable for Buddy's guitar. He hooked up to it and went out into the crowd. He worked his way through and played to everyone! Then he went out of the building, still playing wild, still playing "Knock On Wood"! When he came back in, everyone went nuts! I've been a huge fan ever since. I just thought I'd share that. Is there any way I can get tickets for the 700 club's opening night? I know it’s going to be amazing.

Seeing different reviews with set lists and hoping we'll hear Man of Many Words - it's one of my faves. You always put on an AWESOME show and I even hooked my sister on you now. You're a man for the ages and I feel so fortunate to be able to see you again in concert (I saw you at the MN State Fair too.) God bless and keep you on your travels! See you soon from the 8th row!

Best Layout so far. Also looking forward to the new location. I'm lucky to have had the opportunity to play on the 754 stage. I hope to play the 700 stage in the future. Maybe I will. The new location will feel somewhat the same I think, as it's so close to the current location. Love ya Buddy Guy & Legends! Loving the new website. Best Layout so far.
