The first time I ever saw Buddy Guy was way back in the Middle Ages, playing with Legendary Blues Harp, Junior Wells. He was fantastic then. He's STILL a Blues Phenomenon!

Buddy and company tear it apart:

The man's always been on top of his game, even when all eyes were on Jimi. This is 1970 footage:

I enjoy listening to Buddy Guy. I got to see him perform once at SIU-C. Thanks for the article.

The Blues isn't dead,

Ok, user error, my speaker connection was unplugged, duh. Thanks for the links. It'll make for good Sunday listening. I saw Buddy perform a few years ago in Tampa but I don't remember if it was at Skipper's Smokehouse or a small club in Ybor City. Either way it was a very small crowd which made it even more enjoyable.

I really appreciate the links. You hit it on the head, "This is a Man!"
Thanks.
No, Chas, Blues won't ever die.

Whoa Gerald!! I watched those videos and they were fantastic!
"Boom Boom Boom" has always been a favorite of mine. Buddy
Guy is the "Blues Man" among many others. Thanks for the
hook ups Gerald, I will go back and watch these many times as
I can. Blues is one of the greatest sounds ever, and anyone not
liking this music has not got a good ear for the sound!! KUDOS

Unfortunately, "Boom Boom Boom" was removed from YouTube by the owner, as were several others originally in this post, so I have updated it and actually embedded the available clips rather than just providing links.
