    I saw him and his band in Austin in summer 2016. Seeing and hearing him do magic in a club with standing room only.
    He was playing through a Fender Twin Reverb. Cranked to about eleven. Dust was coming off the brick walls.
    Best concert I ever saw.
    After the show I shook his hand, and he called me sir. I laughed, because I felt like a little kid meeting one of my guitar heroes...

    I once opened for Junior. My claim to fame! He got off his tour bus to check out our group.
    The club manager said he'd never seen him do that... made me feel good.

      @@SDPBALLCOACH 'Pull my Finger' (Sounds like a punk band, but we were a jazz band. I think that's what piqued his interest. His drummer, a jazz player too, complimented us after our set. He played a snare and a ride cymbal...period. But he made tons of music with that severely abbreviated set.)

      Completely agree. I first saw him about 20 years ago and I swear, I went through every single emotion in the first 10 minutes of him playing. I was absolutley floored. Many will say they've heard the name, but they don't know. Glad to see he is still in fine style.

    I saw JB at a dinner theater in Dana Point in the early 2000s. He had 2 dimed Silverface Twins, wrapped in sound blankets (small venue). There was a drunk woman near the stage who kept passing him notes (requests, whatever). At one point he read the note which said "UNWRAP YOUR AMPS." Junior said in his inimitable manner "Ma'am, these amps are wrapped for your protection!"

    • @ryanclark6402
      @ryanclark6402 2 года назад +3

      I’ve seen him live several times. He starts off too loud, and the whole show is a crescendo from there. He’s on a mission to find “13” on his amps…

      I saw him at the beginning of September opening for Old Crow Medicine Show and he was using a walker to come out saying that he had broken a hip pretty recently. At the end of the show he carried the walker off over his head so hopefully he's recovering well and has a lot of great shows ahead of him. I'd never heard of him before and was very impressed, he made a new fan that night for sure.

That little look to the left and right by boss man to finish up is so intuitive. But God 3 minutes into a song and we're all looking at him like puppies waiting for that look. Met/saw junior 2004 Melbourne Australia. At the top of his game. G3 were also in town. He could have sat in
