hi

back from  the blues party!
very good show, less than 2 hours..the bluesbreakers rocked the place!

the band opened with 2 songs and then introduced Mayall, which mostly played organ and harp tonight, only one song with a 12 strings guitar.
The guy is a fantastic musician and a great performer, despite he' s more than 70 years old.

But let me tell ya about the man of the night: Buddy Withington, the guitar player..

It was a festival of blues riffs and sharpy solos, many duets with Mayall on harp, an energic feeling and a constant inspiration that reminded me, of course , our beloved Mick Taylor.
H was also  joking with the public while playing some Led Zep intros in front of an hilarious Mayall ...LOL

The band took a few songs to take off, with the solid Joe Yuele on drums and a totally transparent bass player, a kind of Saint sway lookalike with a tiny sound and an awful five strings fender.


Oh,  the moment of the night to finish

When I arrived in the place, my first look was for the merchandising stand (an old habit , thanks to the Stones marketing department for that)...
First it was strange to see an old guy selling only CDS...guys, it was Mayall hymself!!
So I took a cd on the table ( and old 1969 live which sounds muddier than any New Barbarians outtakes ) and then John dedicated it and and shook my hand.
A few seconds later, as the man was alone, I dediced, very inspired, to go and chat a few moments with him.
So I came and John looked scared...OMG, I crossed the security line , and John looked upset about that.
Plus i had my beer on his autograph table..I apologized and then tried to tell him how much I loved his work, especially on my fav record Wake Up Call...sadly, my english was so bad that John didn t understand and went back to his cds activity.
OMG, what a fucking blank friggin stare it was guys...the shame of my music fan life

Ha-ha. Nothing changes much. He's the weirdest celebrity I've ever met. This was what happened when I saw his show four years ago with Mick Taylor.
