Nice to see and hear but that did not sound like Mike's guitar/tone at all. Maybe due to amp used or settings?

What hurt this, is his timing is way off against the bass/drums and organ. I found it frustrating to listen to, because I know this song inside and out. He rushed through it rather than diggin in the groove. Guitar sounds great, and yes he is an outstanding guitar player.

I like Jimmy Vivino as a player very much. I am not quite sure what everyone expects....Jimmy has his own badass style....very difficult to get up there and play like someone else for any length of time. :)

'Cuz Mike wasn't playing.:ganz

Sounded like Jimmy's on the neck pickup, "Albert's" was bridge on the record... that's probably why it didn't sound like Bloomer's.

Vivino is one bad mofo guitar player... that was fun to hear.

Al's singing always had a certain flirpy charm,:lol . Sounds like Jimmy V's using some sort of Fender? Mike like his Twins and Supers; maybe it's a Bassman?

How many lead guitar players does it take to change a lightbulb? 100... 1 to do it and 99 to discuss how they'd have done it differently.

The rhythm section is rushing it too if you ask me. It seems like a lot younger blues artists take the "slow" out of slow blues quite a bit these days....its sort of a lost art...to keep them blues slow...and interesting too. Seriously.

I used to play with a old piano player/singer.....who always told not to rush it,"that's why they call 'em blues slow son"....lol!!!
