I go to the annual Chicago blues fest every year, but I've never been impressed with the lineup until now. Both Koko Taylor and Buddy Guy will be performing on Saturday. I hope I can capture a few good photos! I hope the weather cooperates!! Any other DPCers going??
I wish..... I remember one year when I was a kid, my Dad recorded the entire thing off of NPR, at least I think it was NPR, but anyway. I must have listened to those tapes over and over. I love the blues. hmmmm Chicago IS only about 4 hours away from where I live....... now you've gone and tempted me....
I love the blues too. I can't wait! Other performers include Mavis Staples (Sunday) and Pinetop Perkins (mmm, Fri or Sat?), Billy Branch ... well it goes on.
I am sooooooooooo green with envy. I have seen Buddy Guy a few years back & was going to go to Koko Taylor but she was unable to come out here due to health reasons & then when she was in New Zealand, I wasn't :(
still not done editing everything i took, but these will prob. be the only 1s i will post anyway so there u have it.........(btw they are all of Mr.Guy i have others of some bands that played also but he's just so good the rest arn't even worth posting on the same page).
like i said some of them are noisy, and some not so much-
i'm going to gather all the printable good shots up (ie. the 1s with the least noise/nonoise) and make some posters, like i said i've got bunches more that i am editing so if any1 is intrusted in a poster PM me and i can shot u the options.
