Michael Coleman (Live) at Buddy Guy's Legends

I was just sitting in the front row, at Buddy Guy's, having some fried catfish, a salad, and a brew. I love it there, if you get in pretty early, like 8ish at the latest, you can get a table up front before it fills up. Buddy himself is in there I'd say about 80% of the Sunday nights that I've been there, for at least a little while. He juggles ladies from the front-corner barstool, the one closest to the door, [(How cool is that, in itself? (hotties) and the dude's in his seventies,] and drinks whiskey. Occasionally he climbs on stage impromptu, strips a guitar from someone on stage, and gets his play on for 5 or 20 minutes. If it's much longer than that the bar girls bring the whiskey to the stage, where he sips it and plays on.
It is during those times, and ones like the moment captured here, that allow a man to justify sitting in a dark, (yet, thanks to all the non-smoking government pussies, and non-smoking crybabies) smoke-free, bar from 4pm till 4am, whiling away another freezing Chicago Sunday.
This night, I caught Michael Coleman on tape. And I got caught. But as you can see 2min 36 sec into this video, Michael doesn't seem to mind that I'm recording, in fact, he hams it up for a second there.
He is also selling his CD's by word of mouth at the beginning of the video. I bought one that night, and later after listening to it, bought another on itunes.
So if one person that sees this video goes to itunes, and buys even 1 song, then I guess posting this video was the right thing to do.
Michael Coleman is a local, (Chicago) musician, who that
night showed up dressed like he is in the video, played till he was soaked, then disappeared for an hour, came back all showered and in nightclub attire. To play another set.
If you listen carefully at the very end of this recording, you can hear a bouncer telling me that I'm not allowed to videotape there, and I'm like OK, so needless to say, that is where the video ends. So then he's was looking over my shoulder, breathing down my neck, as I erased all the files on my cam that were vid files, because photographing there is OK, but somehow, due to incomparable, Go-go-Gadget thumb dexterity, I managed to ferret this one into invisibility, while the others flashed repeated before his eyes until he lost interest.
So in the interest of introducing Mr. Coleman to one more potential fan, or dragging one more potential catfish connoisseur to Buddy Guy's Legend's located on or about 9th and Wabash in Chicago's south loop. I post this video.

So cool that this is posted! I had the distinguished honor of playing with Michael for a couple of nights being in his backup band on one of his engagements in Vancouver Canada as part of Clyde Roulette's band. To say he's an amazing guitar player is such an understatement... such a fine lead player and his rhythm guitar playing was pure dynamite! We got so much out of playing with him as musicians that we all collectively draw on to this day...I hope he is doing well and thanks for posting!

I was in a band with him when we were teenagers called Midnight Sun, he played like a man back then!!!

I watched this guy play last night at a small club near the WI/IL stateline, he is incredible, and a super nice guy....

Michael, you're awesome! I've been listening to "Shake Your Booty" for ten years now and have been more inspired by it than you know. Been trying to master your rhythm style. I'm getting there! Take care.
