I did see Albert and Freddy King live. I think both times they were opening for someone.
Yeah, I passed on an opportunity to see Albert Collins once. I always figured I'd see him at some point, but I never did. I also missed an opportunity to see Johnny Winter in 1980 in a small club. Those are my two biggest misses, I think.
It was nuts that Rory Gallagher was warming up for BTO. Rory was great. It was short set, though. He didn't have any hits, so the crowd of mostly young teenage boys was not interested.
I saw Albert King in a bar. It was amazing. He yelled at his band several times (off mic). I couldn't hear what he was mad about. They sounded great to me.
Johnny Winter was awesome. I saw him in GP at the Rogue. He took a long time to warm up but he did and he was still amazing.
