Topic: One heck of a performer!!!

Gotta love Buddy Guy,
as I've grown up, I've heard a lot of live performances, and when you appreciate music like all us guys on here, you really understand what its all about.
A lot of bands/singers sing like they just wanna get paid, and lack soul.
What I love about this number, is that Guy totally understands the song (regardless of whether he wrote it or not, I dnt know if he did :S), he stops in between each line, and always phrases lines differently. He's taking in and thinking about the true meaning, and just with words, performs with more feel than some players I've seen, and this is BEFORE a solo!
So when the solo comes in, its like he's carrying on with this story he's telling, but through his instrument. I very rarely see a guy like Guy (haha, quick pun there) channel this much emotion into making his guitar sing more than he does himself. There's only a select few (we all know who they are) who can feel the music that much.

Check out what Buddy can do with about 3 and a half minutes... It's a movie blurb, but you don't need to see Buddy to meet him at his feelings here:

Rus, it's not exactly on your doorstep but did you know that Buddy Guy was playing the Shepherds Bush Empire on 5th July?
