Clapton especially now. I read somewhere (maybe here) that he has hand pain/neuropathy and its limiting his playing? Ole boy is up on 70 years and 40 of those were some HARD years.

I've seen him twice in the last 5 years. He pretty much gives a lot of the sets over to his supporting players these days. Guitar solos, but no RAGING solos anymore.

Bonamassa is the only one I haven't seen of all the top guys, amazingly. Gotta make it (missed him his last time in N.O.)

I'll see Kenny Wayne Shepherd again at Jazz Fest this year. Go if you've missed him til now!

Wish I'd have caught him 10 or 15 years ago. Always liked the type of aging rock star he became. He had or had a young wife or two, but otherwise allowed himself to age. Guy just looks like a cardiologist who happens to wail on guitar on weekends.

You just missed him at the Red Dragon Listening Room in Baton Rouge. He played 2 nights in a row in a small, intimate venue.

Goin' see him @ JazzFest...
