Way too long to compile or even remember half of. Let's just say a large boatload.

Re: Which Blues-/Bluesrock-Acts have you seen live?

+1......Welcome to the forum Wolf, good to have you here. We have done this list more than a few times, problem is many of us are over 50 and have forgotten a lot of them. I do have a 7 page Excel spreadsheet I could bore you with, but a lot of the acts are not blues or blues/rock. Does Joni Mitchell qualify as blues, maybe? How about the Grateful Dead, probably? I'm pretty sure that Pearl Jam and Korn do not qualify. J Dawg and others here have probably seen 2 to 3 times the acts I've seen. I'm age 58 now, what I work off of is a "bucket" list. lol

Joni Mitchell just plain qualifies :-)
Miles of Aisles is one of the greatest live albums ever recorded IMO (with apologies to J Dawg for the "IMO" abbreviation) LOL

Re: Which Blues-/Bluesrock-Acts have you seen live?

great avatar Stu, looking for a new team soon heh? well, Kevin ain't thoroughly done in Sacramento just yet. sorry to get off topic, but yeah Joni was great in concert, there again what I remember of it. She had Tom Scott and LA Express as the backing band, with this guy name of Robben Ford on guitar.

Yep, same backing band that was on Miles of Aisles. including Mr. Ford. The Shadows and Light double live album is pretty good as well, with Pat Metheny and Jaco Pastorius - but Aisles is my favorite.

Re: Which Blues-/Bluesrock-Acts have you seen live?

I too am working on adding new bands. Lets just say I've seen just about every significant act since the late 50's tp early 60's and outside of blues rock a lot more and probably have forgotten a lot too.  Missed disco (praise the lord) due to a houseful of kids in that era and never was much of a metal fan. though my teenagers exposed me well.

Re: Which Blues-/Bluesrock-Acts have you seen live?

Thanx for the nice welcome!

You´re all lucky ones !
A lot of this bands/acts I don´t know and alot of bands/acts never came to Austria...
George Thorogood, for example..
Joe Bonamassa came the first time with BCC in 2011.

By the way... sorry for my english - it´s not my native language...

Re: Which Blues-/Bluesrock-Acts have you seen live?

Too many to mention and remember. Going to see these bands for 44 years already so..............Best music for me!

Same here Andre, started in the 60,s still the greatest music. Joe , Free and Led Zep probably top of the list. big_smile

Come on the Blades (sorry Idolbone just had to borrow your line)

Re: Which Blues-/Bluesrock-Acts have you seen live?

Can't name all the bands I've seen ... too many

My top 3 (in special order):
Ryan McGarvey, Mason Rack,  Ian Siegal (solo, with band, with Mississippi Mudbloods, with guest musician)

My favourites (in no particular order):
Joe Bonamassa, Beth Hart, Layla Zoe, Henrik Freischlader, Jens Filser, Aynsley Lister, Ten Years After, Cedric Burnside & Lightnin' Malcolm, Otis Taylor, Cassie Taylor, Abi Wallenstein & Blues Culture

Re: Which Blues-/Bluesrock-Acts have you seen live?

Wow, this is hard. Growing up I was lucky enough to have a Mum that dug the blues so much she started her own blues club so pretty much every Aussie blues act I not only got to see, but also sometimes hang and jam with smile

Some of my other favourites were Joe Bonamassa (of course!), Buddy Guy, John Cephas & Phil Wiggins and I really dig Gomez and The Black Keys
