The Big Cat Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 For those who frequented the Ramones thread: I wouldn't have missed this for the world. (check out the list of acts who have already committed)
The Dean Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 For those who frequented the Ramones thread:I wouldn't have missed this for the world. (check out the list of acts who have already committed) That's a hell of a concert, VGB. I expect a full review! On a much smaller scale, I'm going to see James Cotton tonight...should be fun.

IDBillzFan Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 Make sure you catch Buddy Guy. He does an awesome concert as well.

He came to my school in 2004 and a buddy of mine who was in Ohio at the time INSISTED that I go. I was blown away.
The Poojer Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 unfortunately his new cd went away from their roots of heavy jamming, and tried to go more mainstream, it's still a decent cd, hope that doesnt take away from his live performance Robert Randolph is the shet.

Have not seen him but am really looking forward to it.
The Poojer Posted March 31, 2007 Posted March 31, 2007 a true treat, he blew me away when i saw him as part of the grammy's a few years ago, then i saw him here in richmond last year and it was un-freaking-real, his live act is a must see He was just announced at a local two day blues festival on the beach near our house in May.

eball Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 Whew. For a second there I thought you meant Yes was going back on tour.
The Dean Posted April 1, 2007 Posted April 1, 2007 James Cotton Band was great, as expected. James no longer sings (he can barely talk) and doesn't appear until the band plays four songs. But, the band is smokin (two AWESOME blues guitar players and a good bass player and drummer). The singers are both top notch. My only complaint is, it is a "show" band. Something you would see at BB Kings in Memphis or in New Orleans. But, I'm not complaining. The old man can still blow the harp. The local band I saw before JC was also very good with an awesome guitarist. All in all, very nice. My 77 year-old, 90 lb mother (who I managed to get to drink 2 big beers) was dancing in her chair, clapping along and singing ("ride sally ride") when appropriate. Also, the ribs (it was a rib cook-off festival) were outstanding. A good (and relatively inexpensive) time was had by all. Did I mention the babes?
