Jimmy Vaughan, Joe James Cotton (edit I know better) , and Steve Miller were damned good, too.

Was fun seeing 80 year old Joe James Cotton and Jimmy just dominate the first half hour of the Steve Miller show. Steve invited them out onstage and took a back seat for at least 30 minutes, while they all played the blues.

Once Joe James and Jimmy left the stage, Steve pretty much reverted to playing a bunch of his B side music over the next hour or so. It was not the stock 2 hours of "I'm gonna play every hit that I have", and it was of his best performances that I have seen, and I've seen him a lot.

Nonetheless, BHT&tM were just better. Spot on. Didn't get to play long enough. They also played stuff I've never heard, almost James McMurtry-like grunch guitar. Can't find it on an album, can't find it on youtube. He left us wanting more.

This will have to do...

McMurtry meets BHT? Please run that down. Two of my favorites.

I had an elbow on the stage..he was changing guitars for every song. At one point midway in their 1 hour long set, he pulled out a seafoam green guitar of the like that I have never seen. Had to have been tuned in Open G. Worked it like it stole something. I've seen a lot of guitar playing in my lolold years, but when I heard him play that jam, he wasn't stealing from McMurtry, but I heard the same chords as in Choctaw Bingo and Bayou Tortous, but it was all harder, and angrier.

**** it was good, and I have no idea what the name of that song/jam was...it went on for a good 15 minutes w/very few lyrics.

Jimmie Vaughan is a terrible guitar player.

Compared to his brother, yes.

Compared to most any guitar player on stage. He's so stiff it's painful to listen to. He's the polar opposite of Stevie.

You sure know how to **** on a show.

Who do you go see play live music?

Or do you just laugh at people who do support live music?

I go to about 20 shows a year. So far this year I've seen Gary Clark Jr., Uli Jon Roth, Warren Haynes, Wolfmother, Grace Potter twice, Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience, and Sturgill Simpson. Have tickets for GNR, two Pearl Jam shows at Wrigley, Black Sabbath, and some others I can't remember. I'll probably go see Alice Cooper and I may fly to LA to see Temple of the Dog in November.

And yet he's still not as stiff as his brother.

He is good enough to have spent 2 hours on stage with the Foo Fighters at the Moody Theater last year.

You can kindly **** off now.

Gary Clark Junior is a one song/trick pony.

He played two hours with the Foos? I find that hard to believe. Maybe a pity song or two.

According to setlist.fm the Foos Moody show was almost two years ago and as I suspected Jimmie Vaughan played one song with them. Coincidentally, Gary Clark Jr. played three.

hahaha, i was there, you were not.

Bright Lights Big City is a good song.

What else has he done?

You are such a ****. It was a good show last night, and I'm guessing you didn't bother to go.

I don't live in Austin, so no I wasn't there. Show me some proof that he played the whole set with them. I showed you proof that he didn't. I'll be waiting.

Here's an article again proving that Jimmie played one song with the Foos.

Keep on going to the fake shows, because that's all you have.

Show me something solid that he played more than one song, let alone a full two hour show. You've already proven that your memory is faulty.

And the last time that anyone gave two ****s about the "jason bonham experience" was never.

Well since I'm not old as balls I didn't get to see the real deal live, unfortunately. But I saw Page/Plant together three times, Plant numerous time solo, and I even saw John Paul Jones play a solo show. Got to meet him afterwards, too.
