One nice guy, so humble, as he was a blues legend. I was lucky to talk with him and feel his music

If only I could have been there to witness this masterpiece.

[@3kingsofblues]

Right….so glad I pulled out my camera, I hadn’t been filming but when I saw him come down I figured it’d be cool

[@chrisjohnson716]

Damn! I'm getting chill bumps that's running all through me! You play it brother

[@guygaudreau5361]

Chills up and down my back. First time I saw this clip. Terrific

[@ervinlay6917]

Cuando alguien deja un recuerdo bonito jamás se olvida

[@joemarino6944]

such a great loss RIP

[@lenzyg7541]

What a great performance thank you for posting one of the best ever can't stop watching!!!

[@scottdale8780]

Still the best every time I see him on video Ive never seen anyone better live…,

[@Dermont1]

That’s one heck of a walking blues soul lo......

[@ericgisclon8122]

He plays very well very clearly unimpressed by the crowd. He was used to playing in small clubs it feels. He plays in D minor pentatonic. It reminds me of gary moore in sound. This guy was unfairly underestimated.

[@metricdeep8856]

Check his dicography. You won't be let down.

[@bonniegrandstaff398]

Pure class

[@jsherman316]

Holy Shit awesome!!!!!

[@vancewashington3044]

He ripped that kids face off in the best way, and that “Thank you”. Respect

[@pappy017]

Love This!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gilbertocruz1683]

Brother had a whole lotta soul...wow

[@AustinRogers1]

That's the WAY to draw a crowd!

[@ervinlay6917]

Had to get my 2024 Fix🙏💯🔥❤️🙌

[@r0cknr0ll3r]

MONSTER piece

[@mariohernandezmartinez9328]

Que guitarrista tan genial

[@InfiniteRiffs]

@ 3kingsofblues Great video! You should put "Empty Promises" in the title so people who are looking for this song will find it. It's one of the more emotionally played versions. And damn that tone!

[@3kingsofblues]

jtesorojr Done! I remember seeing his van pull up at the festival, with Arkansas or Missouri plates I think. I said man if they came all the way to the east coast they must be the real deal. We were blown away. A shame that he passed away shortly after that.

[@InfiniteRiffs]

@@3kingsofblues That's great. Thanks for doing that! And yes they are the real deal. Many great moments in this video, my favorite being when he walks back on stage and sings "Empty Promises". So much emotion...so sad he's gone

[@InfiniteRiffs]

9 months later I'm back here....after a few tears I have to say this is so good. Another favorite is the sequence of notes at 4:54 when he's walking back to the stage. The little pattern he plays is so tasty...and makes you believe he's expressing those empty promises he's felt. That's some pain there....

[@veteranaffiliate]

Rockin while walking

[@ervinlay6917]

❤

[@intheblues]

Which idiot thumbed this down? Great stuff MB!

[@3kingsofblues]

+intheblues I always thought the guy who looks annoyed and walks away at 0:25 seconds in was funny....what was his deal???

[@ervinlay6917]

@@3kingsofblues thought that too but I think he forgot his phone to get some footage.

[@rogerray5210]

Intheblues. The one thumbs down, doesn't know music or the soul of another

[@pappy017]

this is exactly what bonamassa doesn't have

[@guygaudreau5361]

Yeah it called heart

[@guygaudreau5361]

If you feel , people will follow

[@justinreaser8268]

Iron Man was a Real one

[@kevindoyle1458]
