Glad you all are into him and have heard him live- what was a great pleasure for me was that he stayed close to his roots in the electric chicago blues style that he created, rather than what I consider to be blued oriented rock which is for me, getting pretty tiresome. Quinn Sullivan, the child prodigy that opened for him, and played a couple numbers together with Buddy at the end, was a study in contrast- lightening fast chops, but no soul (how can a 14 y/o middle class kid have soul) and a 'sameness' to his playing that made Buddy's whole thing just stand out in greater relief as the real deal. Buddy could rock out, but it was still blues, and his use of dynamics was incredible. (I agree about his voice, the falsetto, the gospel tinges, and the old skool 'Muddy style' - I'm the Man voices were different facets of what he could bring to the table).
