Buddy Guy-Wow!
Last night me and Joy went to see Buddy Guy as part of the free music series downtown (Wall Street Rising) held at BMCC. Man, everything was fantastic! Yes, I'm getting old when I appreciate a seated venue, getting inside within a reasonable time and when all the acts start on time! The 'commemorative' ticket said that you had to be at the venue between 7 and 8:15 to redeem it for a real ticket and then after that, tickets will be given away to stand bys. We got there around a quarter to 7 and the line wasn't too bad, maybe 5 to 10 feet long. We were in the doors by 10 after 7 and got pretty good seats. Besides it being hot in there, it was a real nice place! Shemeka Copeland came on at 8:20 and she kicked ass!! What a voice on that woman! She played until 9 and Buddy Guy came on at 9:15. Woohoo!! Hardly a wait at all. He was freakin' amazing! I wish I had my better camera with me but oh well. He is certainly a legend. He played for an hour and a half and at one point even came into the audience and went all the way to the back and up the stairs. Pretty sweet!! Oh yeah, John Mayer came out near the end as a 'surprise' and then Shemeka came out, which is what this picture is of.
