    I saw this lineup open for Bob Seger at the old Aud in Buffalo. The T-Birds blew the roof off the Aud and I wondered how Seger would top it. He came out and did a 20+ song set of his greatest hits and blew the roof back off the Aud. Arguably the greatest concert I ever saw.

      You're lucky. I saw Bob Seger in concert back in the late eighties, and while Seger was fantastic (of course), his opening act was some act called "Adrenalin," and... He was kind of scraping the bottom of the barrel to come up with them for an opener.

    Great performance 2 killer songs. Jimmy Vaughan is the real deal and knows when to show his hand…somewhat of a rarity these days. Growing up playing with your brother as kids cements your style n chops. Saw an interview with Stevie who credits his guitar playing to Jimmy and only ever wanted to impress him which of course he did in spades. That’s love right there folks. Classic strat tone too right outta the box … clean low output pickups letting the guitar and amp breathe. Beautiful!!

    "Girls Go Wild" is a superb blues album. Jimmy is killing it. Long live the T-Birds!

    Back about 20 years ago, the Thunderbirds played a gig at the Fall Fun Fest in my little town. I lived a block from where they were playing, and I heard them clearly through my kitchen window. And I realized that they weren't playing their big hits: they were in a blues mood, and they were playing stuff I had never heard them play. After a few minutes, I was like, 'I'm going down to the park to see this!' But by the time I got there, they were done. Solid band.

      Well then my friend, you need to get out and see more live bands because this band has always sucked lol and I can't believe this is SRV's older brother. Jimmie's only notoriety is that he's SRV's brother.. because he is a mediocre guitarist compared to his younger brother SRV.

      Don't let these whiny "SRV was the greatest ever!!!!!" geeks put you down. These guys were great, and Jimmie was better than his brother. These SRV geeks feel they must always put him and the Thunderbirds down for their ego. They aren't the best live band I've seen, but they were great.

      Ash, you are correct 80’s ruled. Better then all other decades. Thanks to the late great Johnny Carson I sometimes got to hear music/artist that I would have never heard. Which is why Carson is the GOAT. I feel sorry for the youth of today and I have 2 twenty somethings that have never gone to a dance club. How sad is that...
