She was the first of the headliners to make an appearance, and man did she wail! She did three songs and jammed her ass off. She has an excellent blues voice ranging from high highs to real grainy lows and a scream that would Janis Joplin proud! She did one of my favorites off her "slow burn" album "It hurts so bad". After Susan Buddy Guy came out with John Mayer and they put on an excellent set of 3-4 songs. At one point Buddy who has got to be in his mid 60's almost fell flat on his face and a cameraman when he missed a step coming down from the platform to get closer to the crowd! I mean he had to do like 4 -5 real quick steps while still playing!! John Mayer kept up with him and really sounded good on the guitar but don't try to sing the soulful blues John....
Los Lonely Boys.... I love Texas Blues and man can these Latin Bastardos Jam!
Chingowwowow! They actually had Willie and His son Lucas come out and join them for a blues song and of course "Heaven" Vamanos!! Willie kind of resembled a country Ozzie and kind of fucked up the song, he really looked lost but Lucas did good. I really dig these guys and look forward to hearing more from them in the future.
Dave Mathuews did an acuistic set which was great! Mellon camp was outstanding but we had to leave after that..... Good show I enjoyed it much.. Great way to end the summer of 2005.
