I'm drunk and have spent the last 3 hours trying to play little wing and crossfire.

I opened this thread knowing that PB would be in here

Saw him at the Q102 free concert with Fabulous T-Birds back in like '87 at old Reunion Arena. He was the "surprise guest" and played with his bro Jimmy Vaughn. Glad I got that moment.

Oh, and the 1982 Montreaux Jazz Festival is my favorite of the popular shows. He's unsigned and unknown (by this crowd) and is getting booed, loudly. He could have backed off, but he just gets more intense. He's just absolutely ferocious at this show. It's the performance that caught David Bowie's eye and ultimately got the guys signed.
