I think everyone else's responses have justified my intense admiration.

This guy is as world-class as a musician can get.

I saw him at Waka and knew nothing about him.

The dude blew me the frick away. I couldn't dance or rock out or anything all I could do was stand there with my jaw on the floor in awe. I've never been that shocked by a musician.

Saw him open for Derek Trucks back in 2009 here in Houston. After he played and Derek was on, I looked to my left and he was standing right next to me enjoying the show. Really cool guy. My dad was even impressed...that was the last concert he got to see before cancer took him

I guess I'll take the fact that I post like a dude as a compliment

It's really not as bad as some make it out to be. I'm thinking about doing the same thing.

This is exactly how everyone in the venue was. Unreal.

Saw him at Festival Internationale so I made sure to catch his set at Bonnaroo, and he's going to go down as one of the greats. He doesn't talk any bullshite and goes up there and just kills it. Anyone who has a chance and misses seeing him is making a huge mistake. Probably one of the best artists I've ever seen live.
