Agree, best I've seen. I just watched this in Graz, Austria, and it's 3:00 in the morning. That kicked. Especially at 1:03 when he started the wah wah.

Very well done!

Yea, and that bass player in this one played with James Brown for 20 years. The bass he's playing is a GSpot made by my friend Steve Gammon out of Miami.

That Vox Valvetronix sounds great, too!

Ah, Blue Jean Blues in Ft. Lauderdale, very cool place. Mostly Jazz, lots of blues too though. I saw Val sing with Bobby Nathan last Summer (July/August?). Spoke to her for a bit, that lady can WAIL!.

 

Last time I was there, the act was the Jeff Prine band. He was playing a beautiful 52 Les Paul (yep, first year, had me fooled as he'd removed the tail piece for playability). And a friend of his (name I can't recall) was playing a 59 D'Angelico. Can't recall their vocalist's name, she was good, but not the powerhouse Val is.

 

There's another club roughly across the street called Fishtales, saw Bobby Nathan's band there again, a blues jam night, just before I left S. FL this last time. I miss it down there, feels like a second home, lots of great talent too. One more (sometimes) Blues Bar a stones throw from these, the Dive Bar. Great area to hear some great music!
