Saw Buddy three weeks ago in a beautiful old theater. Wow, he was incredible. Very much a showman. I was a bit surprised that he used the f bomb so liberally but I guess that's show biz these days. Near the end of the show he left the stage and began walking up the aisle main floor. We were front center balcony so we lost sight of him. Next thing we know he walks through the door to our left playing his strat. It was cool. He hung around for 10 minutes or so and just jammed. Then, at the end of the show he came back on stage and started throwing pics to the audience. Next thing you know, people are coming forward with shirts and other goodies for his autograph. He obliged them all while the band played on. He must have stayed for another 15 minutes. What energy for a 72 year old man. My wife didn't know much about his work but really enjoyed the music. She's kinda partial to blues and jazz, which helps. BTW, his band was exceptional. Keyboard player was like a young Leon Russell with more attitude. The drummer was rock solid as was the bass player. His rhythm guitarist was talented enough to go out on his own. Buddy made it a point to say at the beginning that he doesn't rehearse a show. Whatever he feels like playing the band picks up on and rolls.
