Great guitarist. On a similar note, I'd add Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Indead, i will also add the late great Jeff Healey to the mix, as Patrick Swayze once said in the movie Roadhouse "you play pretty good for a blind white boy", he wasn't wrong there

Corny film, great soundtrack. Confidence Man is probably my favourite of his, though.

Cobain and Nirvana were brilliant live on the Nevermind tour (I saw them along with about 200 others at Bradford Uni). Dave Grohl was, well, just the drummer. I can tell you for a fact that the gig I went to was before any Cobain hype because when they came on stage nobody recognised them at all. They looked like roadies.

I was at that gig. I found the ticket stub in my loft last weekend and got well nostalgic. It was an amazing night.

You where at every gig.

Like some sort of weird cuckoo turfing the eggs from the nest.

Certainly not young however, the world is a lesser place without the great BB King in it. One of the most important musicians of all time, and at his peak one of the best voices in the business.

I'd recommend "Live at the Regal" as one of the finest albums ever, and probably my favourite live album.
