Is anyone on here going to see Jeff on his current tour?

Can you describe the band or set-up he is using?

What style is he emphasizing these days?

It will be the first time I have had the chance to see him
perform and after all these years of listening to the recoridngs
and more recently seeing a few videos, I am really excited!

I really loved the work he did on the Tokyo performance with
Jen Batten and the other two guys! I HOPE I am in for a
show that is that good, even though it's at a very small venue,
House of Blues in Orlando...

Thanks for any comments!

I saw him in Birmingham, England in July with Buddy Guy as support act. The
show is entirely instrumental, and there's no dialogue with the crowd -
goes from one song to the next!

If you're prepared to really listen, there is some AWESOME guitar playing
that leaves you speechless. Pretty much all the material is from Blow-by-
blow onwards.

Can't remember the names, but there is a great drummer and bass-player, and
a less intrusive keyboard player who has to mimick anything from Max
Middleton to Jan Hammer to Tony Hymas.

Great stuff though, for the afficionado. So much so that I've got tickets
for House of Blues, Orlando too.

THat's fine about no dialogue with the crowd. A lot of acts waste
time with that because they are disorganized and need to fill in
the time. Jeff always communicates best via the axe anyway!

THANKS - see you there.
