The Doors can be seen in one of the limos (they also played as did Alice Cooper and Gene Vincent).

The last Blues song I wrote was “Stuck here at Walmart”

Was it big in Reno?

Rain Delays Burning Man Voyagers at Reno Wal-Mart (People of Wal-Mart just got weirder) (Aug 26, 2014)

[FlyingEagle]

No, but you just gave me a great idea for my next blues hit song, Burning Man Blues!! By Smokey Cottonmouth Nixon.

Got to catch Johnny Winter in a 3 piece band at (I want to say) The Lonestar Cafe in NYC, July 4th 1979 (or so)...the man wore out his guitar. Every song played had a 3 minute-plus riff.

Here’s “I Wonder” from Humble Pie (Steve Marriot’s voice makes it):

And here’s the Pie doing “For Your Love” acoustic, set to a bluesy motif (again, Marriot blows it out of the water)

Well, I should have provided credit:

Not sure about today but in 1970 Albert King owned the blues:

Charlie Patton owns the blues - everybody else just rents from him.

Albert King, a former bulldozer operator, is still my vote for the King. Well, he’s actually dead but you know what I mean.

[Yardstick]

I posted a clip from that same concert earlier in the thread. He sounded fantastic that night.

[Dr. Pritchett]

I prefer as much harmonic as possible in my blues...

Tom Stillman and his wife.

[EternalVigilance]

Outstanding.

[Lurker]

Thank you for that. Amazing.

[BreezyDog]

I’m going to see him live or the first time at Constitution Hall in DC in November...

[WorkingClassFilth]

Fingers like bananas but he sure could pick the blues.

I had to put this song on here. If it’s not the blues, it aught to be.
