    Was privileged to meet this guy several times and see him play more times then I can count and he was by far the most humble and genuine performer I’ve ever met, he put his all into every show and is such a loss, he had everything and deserved to be much more well known then he is

    Of all the concerts ihave seen Michael was always the best live show, He plays with such intensity. He played nonstop for 2 hours with sweat pouring off him, came to our table for a solo, the best. He stacks up to Gary Moore and Walter Trout.

    Love the original by Free and I love this live version by MB as well - wish the track was available as a good quality download to go on my ipod alongside the albums. His tone on this reminds me of Leslie West who I could imagine also covering this. MB is a great guitarist/Bluesman and a massive loss to the music.
