Rushed to an Albuquerque hospital last night shortly after the beginning of a sold out concert. No word yet on his condition.

 
Yep. Supposed to play here tonight, but...bummer.

His Christmas shows are awesome events. I guess I'll drink instead.

 
He played here in the DC area a couple of weeks ago. Couple of guys from my band went and said it was amazing. Here's hoping he's ok.

Just found this on his website:

Brian was briefly hospitalized in Albuquerque, NM last night after a combination of dehydration, high altitude, and vertigo made him unable to continue his performance at the Isleta Casino after several songs. Brian has completely recovered and will perform tonight at the Dodge Theater in Phoenix, AZ, and will continue with the remainder of the tour uninterrupted.

Glad it was just altitude sickness. I remember my first trip to Taos. Learned all about altitude sickness...

 
I saw him here a few weeks ago - it was a great show, as always. The guy is an amazing player/performer. We never miss the Holiday show when it's around - the fact that it was a little over a mile from my driveway made it even better!

 
One of my all time favorite players. His tone and phrasing are amazing. I would *love* to be able to do the rockabilly stuff like he does. When it comes to playing and singing at the same time, he is right up there with Gary Moore, Rik Emmet, Dave Meniketti, and John Sykes IMHO. As a singer/guitar player I am always amazed at what these guys can play while they are singing. I would give a lot of things to be able to have complete control like them.

Setzer is a rare talent that often gets overlooked by guitar players.

 
I was listening to "Wolfgang's Big Night Out" yesterday. Amazing stuff. I have a DVD of one of his Christmas Extravaganza's. I would love to see one live.

 
Awesome. He Rules.

I'm no doctor, but if he's trying to avoid dehydration, maybe next time he'll reconsider the Elvis-68-comeback-special-head-to-toe Leather ensemble?

+1 For me, it was Bogota Columbia (elev. close to 10,000 at airport) and way too much vodka... /emoticons/default_biggrin.png
