Met Iron Man back in the early 2000's. Shy, humble, great guy. Cover me in blues! Also great great blues player. What we had in common- uh, snubbed the vegan food truck and loved that BBQ!!! Miss him and wish his band and family all the best! ~RaVen~ really.

I had the pleasure of seeing Lucky Peterson play at a blues club in Houston back in the 80's shortly after his first Alligator Record's LP was released and let me tell you, not only could he play the shit out of the guitar & keyboard, but his stage presence & approach towards performing was like nothing I'd seen before. He brought so much energy to the stage & he & his band looked like they were having more fun than the law should allow. At one point, Lucky laid on his back while the other guitar player drug him by his ankles around & around in circles while Lucky was ripping a blistering guitar solo. I'll never forget that. I mean, how could I?

[@RealThunderberg]

I'm really glad I stumbled across this video because if you're a fan of Blues especially Blues guitar this is pure joy right here. Really saddens my heart that both of these gentlemen are no longer here in this plane of existence that is just WRONG talk about a loss for all of us:( 🎸❤️ RIP With Love ❤️🎸

Micheal was/is my friend what more can I say except he could play the soul out of his guitars RIP IRON MAN

[@kirksmokeybair1333]

Had the pleasure of witnessing this greatness. Will always remember. RIP

[@jeffjolie132]

Michael never looked happier! RIP. Tnx Lucky for being a good friend to him...... sorry for your loss.

[@duby5580]

Michael Burks, a guitarist in the top 10 of all time.

[@robertrohde4579]

Damn! I just love the blues! This is great!

[@sloan1sh]

I saw Michael in Delray Beach at the Back Room Blues Bar. It was a privilege to have seen him. Going to see Lucky Peterson tonight at Kevro's Art Bar. Don't sit at home when you can be in the presence of greatness that is not going to be around forever.

[@lewispetzold7481]

I also saw Michael at the Back Room in DelRay, a great little place, in 2007. And saw Lucky in Gainesville in 1992 when I was a student at the University of Florida, fabulous show and about 1 AM he played his guitar in the middle of University Avenue and my girlfriend and I followed him outside. Great days. RIP Michael and Lucky.

[@davidabair2280]

I saw Lucky on Carson playing B-3 and singing when he was a child! I was then and still am blown away!

[@jeffjolie132]

Lucky is one of those rare musicians that pull the best from the musicians around him! Love it.

[@notyrmama]

I grew up in a small town that saw a great deal of success in the 70's. A bar on every corner and a band in every bar....This reminds me of those days because there aint nothing better than watching/participating in a blues jam as great as this one.... Cheers !! I salute you. All hail the new king.... you.

[@amagiclady]

Absolutely love it!! Thanks for sharing!

[@lisaedwards767]

Lucky and Michael..together is heaven to me

[@kemposoefi]

Damn, what a combo! RIP brother Michael, we'll keep playing your music forever.

[@mariosurin]

Waw das ist der beste Blues wo ich seit langen gehört habe ! Danke

[@willemhuizinga368]

Loved Peterson since his contribution on Melvin Taylor Isabel album doin some crazy stuff on organ. Great musician.

[@rhondaavellone3317]

Never be another one like him. His sound is epic and his blues were real damn blues, not like the ones that tired to play the blues. He would get up at any blues festival and show ever other band there what the real meaning of playing the blues were. RIP my friend.

[@thepromiseman7745]

Well said

[@laidyeh]

I totally agree...He is a child prodigy...I remember him being 5 yrs. old, and playing the Hammond B3 organ....He made a song called 1234...It sound like James Brown's please please please please...I was blown away...Always the great ones are not appreciated until they are gone....

[@challesdens]

[@bluesborn]

Great show! I'm more familiar with Lucky Peterson than Mr Burks but the "Iron Man" can definitely hold his own on that Les Paul. Nice fat stinging notes! Makes me wanna go out and buy a Gold Top. The only drag was Lucky's guitar was a bit buried in the mix and he's such a fine player.

[@chidertibet4504]

M.burks est une grande légende.merci pour ce show

[@lovellcoleman8308]

Well y'all..... in 13 days is going to be one BIG ASS PARTY in Clarksdale, Miss. May 12th 2017 hey this is LOVE .... and i will be at the door collecting all your love donations for some real great charities...... lots of great BLUES / B.B.Q. and Friends.... The HOPKINS PLATATION
