What a great show! I have seen just about all of the 50's to 70's Blues legends - and this concert was probably the last I'll see of them.
Buddy was an entertainer supreme! And he has not lost his voice! Great show, especially with his buddy who joined him at the end.
Well worth it! And the National Symphony Hall was a great venue. Great sound and sightlines, really sweet workers.

Buddy is a true preformer. At 88, Buddy Guy still has that sass, a great band including Tom Hambridge who also plays a few tunes with the band before Buddy comes on as the headliner.
Hambridge is a great blues legend & a terrific act. The song, Shoebox is truly a tear jerker & his take on a positive blues tune is a must-see!
Buddy can still play, sing & especially have fun on stage. Thanks Buddy for all the great music & we love ya!

Buddy Guy show was great. Buddy has such a powerful voice and still plays great guitar . He has so much energy for a man that is about 86 yeras old and he never sits down during the show wjich is 90 minutes long. I am so happy I got to see him. The venue is beautiful and the sound was great. Keep in rocking Buddy,stay strong. Sincerly, Anthony Bramante

About Buddy Guy
Buddy Guy (born George Guy, July 30, 1936 in Lettsworth, Louisiana) is an American blues music and rock music guitarist, as well as a singer. Known as an inspiration to Jimi Hendrix and other 1960s blues and rock legends, Guy is considered as an imporant proponent of Chicago blues made famous by Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf. He has influenced both widely known and local blues guitarists.
Guy is known for his showmanship; for example, he plays with drumsticks and walks into the audience whilst playing, the latter being a gimmick he picked up from a local blues guitarist at an early age (joining or leaping into the audience has also long been common in both American popular and gospel music, as in the earlier work of Big Jay McNeely or the Dixie Hummingbirds).
Guy grew up in Louisiana where he learned to play guitar. In the early 1950s he began performing with bands in Baton Rouge. Soon after moving to Chicago in 1957, Guy fell under the influence of "Mighty" Muddy Waters. In 1958 he won a record contract with Artistic Records after beating the West Side guitarists Magic Sam and Otis Rush in a "Head Cutting Contest" at the Blue Flame Club. Soon afterwards he recorded for the Cobra label.
In the early 1960s, Guy was a session guitarist for Chess Records. He recorded on Junior Wells sessions for Delmark Records under the pseudonym Friendly Chap in 1965 and 1966. His career took off during a blues revival period in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and was sparked by Eric Clapton's request that Guy be part of the '24 nights' all-star blues guitar lineup at London's Royal Albert Hall and Guy's subsequent signing with Silvertone Records.
