Man, I think this guy is a legend. Strong Persuader was my first Robert Cray album, and it's still a classic.

@gregoryemerson5778 Thanks, Gregory. I agree. Love his music.

[@riffraff3658]

Robert Cray man! One of my favorite artists of all time. Great singer, guitarist, songwriter….will listen to this dude till the end!

[@brettanderson3461]

I’ve been fortunate to see Mr.cray in each decade since hearing him in the eighties. Now it’s time for another, see you soon my friend.

[@mrbaseball1968]

One of the best concerts I`ve been to

[@jordhuga271]

A master at his craft. What a performer. Seen him live. My Dear Uncle Mark who has since passed away once brought me with my Uncle Steve. Great Musician. Great Show!

[@TopBlueJazz]

Here's to a jazzy day ahead! Dive into the world of improvisation and soulful melodies. Enjoy the magic of jazz!

[@2GroundControl]

Great video of Robert Cray and his band. I like the guys recordings but he is one one of those players that seeing them live is always a notch up from the studio. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@jasonlee8497]

Excellent singer!

[@reiniermuntjewerff874]

At that NSJF in 1987 (22 years of age), I saw Diana Schuur on saterday. I had Robert Cray on cassette/tape with 1 album but I did't realise he was a GREAT blues artist... I still regret I did not visit his concert on vriday....so nearby !!

One of the best blues album`s ever recorded.

One of the best blues artist ever recorded. As a tip on blues albums I give you King King by The Red Devils.

My goodness is all that can be said. Here's what happens when music isn't fake.

[@stoesselvarginha456]

Sou muito fã que voz !!! E que guitarra harmoniosa !!!

[@stevetrivago]

I agree 100% .. He’s very unique… I checked to see where he’s touring last night…. He’s going to be at Penn’s Peak in Pennsylvania on March 10th… Ticket Purchased… 🫡

[@2GroundControl]

Richard Cousins on bass is just a monster bassist!

[@gavinfinlayson485]

Robert Cray along with Mark Knopfler the 2 most distinctive guitar players imo 🎸❤️

Robert Cray, un grandisimo concierto,, un músico completo genial lleno de talento,, uno de los grandes de nuestro tiempo,, un concierto majistral de libro abierto...

[@crupert23225]

LOVE that version of "I guess I showed her"! And that slowed down version of "Still Around"! Thanks for posting this.

[@jackaro2]

This guy is amazing. 11:54. What a sweet lick. 20:01 Right Next Door

[@drorlist]

Tim Kaihatsu on the second guitar

[@russellh6287]

Tim was a fine, fine player, with a distinctive style. He really shined in the little bit of soloing he did with the band back then.

[@AnasaziCliffs99]

That's what I was going to say!

[@michaelbradfield3928]

I liked Tim's guitar solo playing, sadly no longer with us. The one I remember was smoking gun.

[@abraaocordeiro1110]

Essa sequência é muito boa! Gosto muito dele!!!

[@rgn551]

Super!! 👍

[@davidpaul967]

what a beautiful soul. rip muddy fong.

[@mauroalbrecht]

Like this.

[@noiricha]

At 39:00 he does this up tempo bluesy "Change in Heart" where his vocals are really for front and the sweat is pouring off of him - great performance. And then at 50:15 Smoking Gun where his guitar originality is highlighted - he breaks a string and the guitar switch is flawless - sweet licks galore.

[@MrAuswest]

Well spotted! He never missed a beat. Pure Class.

[@deborahferella8591]

That was smooth 👌

[@eugeniacabral333]

Lindaaaa👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@christopherparisi9396]

Every Robert Cray show I wait for a guitar solo and I never get one

[@brianbourque6352]

Maybe you don't recognize one when you hear it?

[@ramelak1635]

Maybe find out what a guitar solo sounds like?

[@MarkJVSomers]

Nog een jong ventje toen. Ik leerde spelen met zijn platen. Where has the time gone?

FFS where's the guitar tech?

[@yoctanuri]

Great show , but Robert's guitar was out of tune almost the entire show...

[@aaronbrown0417]

Especially on the first song n coulda had a change of heart it was bad. Probably why he kept switching guitars. N since he's such a busy player he couldn't stop n tune up

[@williamdowning1552]

So what!

[@bluesisgold]

One of the most affected and boring performer I've ever had the misfortune to watch.

[@lmpoole4934]

....and yet you watched !

[@brettanderson3461]

Polka must be Franckies gig, good luck with that! Robert Cray is one of Eric Clapton’s favorite guitarist……. Uh yea.
