So after hearing one of my favorite songs of the past two decades ,Blue on Black, thought I’d see what else KWS did, and found this concert. Damn, what I’ve been missing. Love this band!
Totally love KWS!!!!! Awesome guitaring by Kenny, and Noah , who has a fabulous voice. And love Chris Layton's funky shirts! ! Awesome band, great musicians.
30 Years Ive been following Kenny Wayne !!! My favorite Band -AWAYS YES IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN BETTER AND WILL CONTINUE !!! He is the Ultimate Guitar Player Best Band Ever Noah _omg what a voice And I’ve loved that Kenny Wayne sings too
Wicked to see Layton getting some recognition. SRV knew how lucky he was with his band 100%. Seeing Chris in a context where he's required to stretch his legs a bit more in terms of song styles is very cool. Makes you appreciate how well rounded a musician he is! What a groovy drummer too. Tones of pocket, can pull out the flashy fills if it suits, but sits back in the beat and just pushes the songs along. Bands are only as good as their drummer and us guitarists, we dream of having a drummer of his caliber to play off!
@@lastwhtknight3002 How can you listen to this and not also hear how talented the dudes in SRVs band were? I'm taking nothing away from SRV. I'm a huge fan. He's the only guitarist who made me put my guitar down for two months when I first heard him. I was playing 8 hours a day at that time! He had a huge impact on me. Even SRV has said in interviews, that as much as he loved to jam with his heroes, he'd always miss his band. Layton deserves huge credit and qudos for his talents as do Reese and Tommy, they locked in in a special way and provided a perfect foundation for SRV to shine with/on
@@lastwhtknight3002 yup, and Chris is exactly what he wanted. Perfect timing and fit Stevie perfectly. That he and Tommy were with him for all those years I'll take Stevie's opinion over yours. Yes he is no Gavin Harrison but Stevie didn't need that.
@@lastwhtknight3002 haha, by that logic great guitar players are also a dime a dozen. You’re commenting on a video of a guitar player that has made a career out of trying to be SRV…. And guess what? He wants it so bad he has his drummer in tow.
Mr. Chris Layton, the tailor that builds the pocket of this suit of Blue. Mr. KWS, the Architect of this fantastic group of musicians and the Master of the guitar! Great show
I was fortunate enough to open up for this band In 2009 in Rothbury Michigan what an honor and a pleasure it was I've followed Kenny Wayne for a long time and hes gotten progressively better every time I see him love these guys rock on
Kenny Wayne is So Amazing, he is the only one I believe can play the Blues closest to The Best blues man ever (SRV.)..Major Props to Kenny for striving for greatness,nice to see him start singing more....Huge fan of the Band too..
Truly appreciate those responsible for posting this 🙏 I've been a fan of KWS ever since I seen him play in New Orleans back in the 80's. Dude and his music has only gotten better. Thanks very much and be safe.
I saw KWS first time live. The only song I knew was Blue on Black. I never bothered to check out his other stuff 🤷🙄 I thought the guy singing was KWS not Noah. That's how little exposure I had. When I saw Kenny and the way he played that damn guitar, I really felt I was going to melt out of my chair! I had NO idea. 😆 Been a solid fan ever since. ✌️
For all you keyboard warriors out there you are showing a complete lack of knowledge with regards to the blues. Blues guitarists have been steeling licks and riffs of each other for decades. Its the way blues is. KWS may be influenced by SRV. He also has his own style. SRV stole Albert King licks and Hendrix 100% Its the way the genre is
Kenny Wayne is now my all time fave... with Joe Bonamassa's Royal Albert Hall DVD now in second place, followed by John Petrucci. Kenny Wayne's performances are always stellar, his songs always tell a story, his guitar always playing my heart... a great artist, who never gave up. May God continue to greatly bless the work of your amazingly gifted hands and voice, and richly prosper you in every other way, also. The world needs you.
Thanks for your endless love and support you have shown me I'm forever grateful I really appreciate your unconditional love and support towards me... Where are you watching from?🌹♥️
When I saw the Hendrix tribute show in NYC at the Beacon theater in I think 2008 Chris Lawton and the bass player from SRV were playing when they brought out the great Mitch Mitchell to play. Unfortunately Mitch. might of had too much to drink and couldn’t sit in for long on another drum set and play along with Chris.. I later met Mitch outside where he signed my program. Chris has one of Mitch Mitchell’s Ludwig Supraphonic snare drums that Mitch’s widow gave to Chris.
@@paulolsen6870 yes and they had Billy Cox on bass for some of that show that i saw in cincy. the saddest part of the show is after i saw Dweezil get into a 2004 Toyota Highlander when he left the gig. i thought to myself that's a pretty shit car for someone named zappa
I'm from Greece and I don't have the privilege to watch live these kind of gigs. From all the recent concerts I've seen through youtube, this is one of the greatest. The guys don't miss a note, the set is fantastic, the energy is tearing the roof. FUCK YEAH I'm partying alone in my living room !!!! Slick cat Kenny !!!
Live KWS is the best KWS. He just seems to have an extra dose of soul in front of a crowd. Been a few years since I've seen him. Nice to see he's still givin the crowd it's money's worth. Strokin some fire-breathing blues on Shame, Shame, Shame. Choice stuff from a blues guitar powerhouse.
I dont know who the dude is with the long hair doing all that singing, but, I have to say, damn it boy, you got it going on.. Love your voice!! This band Is nothing short of totally amazing. Kenny Wayne is a true master on that guitar.. And someday I will see them live!!!
Noah Hunt is the lead vocalist and has been with Kenny Wayne since their second album and one of the best! Saw them 2003 in Nashville,Tn along with ZZ Top and Ted Nugent. Rocking good time!
Not to be redundant, this guy is as good as anybody out there...he has gotten better and better. Shout out to NOAH HUNT AND THE REST OF THAT GREAT BAND.
I saw them last night for the first time minus the horn section. Amazing. More Kenny and keyboards than this video so even better. Just over two hours.
Incredible band, I'm moved to tears when I listen to them. The horns are a real nice touch, the drummer is excellent, the singer is fantastic... As for KWS, he's simply a legend ^^
Thanks for your endless love and support you have shown me I'm forever grateful I really appreciate your unconditional love and support you have shown me I'm forever grateful I really appreciate your unconditional love and support towards me... Where are you watching from?🌹❣️
Heard Shepard on the radio when he first started. Not impressed. Too heavy and too dark for my taste. Today, stumbled across this performance and was completely surprised by what he has become. Mesmerized through the whole concert. Great band. Shepard seems to never run out of licks and lead.
Soooo good! KWS and his band are such great musicians. And Chris Layton is proof-positive that a drummer does not have to pound on the kit to sound fantastic. So effortless!
Great set! The KWS band keeps it simple for a good live sound. Whereas Joe Bonamassa's touring act has gotten a little too grandiose with a big horn section, half a dozen backup singers, and even a string section. Sometimes simpler can be better.
K keeps it "simple" coz he's trying to replicate Stevie...the GOAT....inc using poor whipper on drums...an piano/organist...only added a singer ...weird looking for such a band at that, he cud go solo he's got a good voice....an couple of horns to plump it out...more like a half decent Impersonation/Tribute band! K does nothing for me...his music merges into one long boring noise....its laughable when he starts gaping his mouth/turning hid to the right/closing his eyes and now the stupo hat like Stevie...no charisma...nothing makes me get excited with anything he plays...its background muzac....soz...im a great fan of SRV & was really excited when i heard of Kenny...what a sad disappointment....esp as hes getting such praise for a pathetic shadow dance of the greats like Stevie n Hendrix....As i see it a good Tribute band ...he wont be remembered like Stevie, Hendrix , Joplin , Elvis etc...look at the impact they had an in SRVs case he was only on the popular scene for a few yrs yet is STILL revered & missed. Doubt K will be...cud b wrong tho...😌
@@3SeveredHeads I think he’s a huge talent but I do agree he heavily imitates SRV (KWS also goes by 3 initials…). From the strat, to the hat. He even has SRV’s drummer.
One of the best Live recordings I've heard! Songs are better than the studio versions. Everyone has their game on, Just GREAT hard drivin blues. Thanks a fan..
Wow all this time I have been missing out on this band !And wow kenny Wayne Shepherd is doing Stevie Ray Vaughan drummer now his drummer 👍.Wow a whole lot of Justice with his hot smoking Stevie Ray Vaughan guitar licks that he puts his own hot sauce on his guitar solos 🎸🎶🎵!Yes yes yes I am going to be keeping up on this blues band 👏👍 Kenny Wayne Shepherd hit me up when you read 👏🎸😎👍.
Kenny plays almost NOTHING like SRV....his use of "similar" blues licks is coincidentally standard within the genre. If Kenny sounds anything like someone else it's Johnny Winter!....Johnny played a lot more slide based stuff, but the style is unmistakable...the TONE is slightly different due to the difference in instruments, but the Bridge humbucker is COMPLETELY different from Stevie's "cleaner " tone, and when Kenny starts to wail his technique and choice of phrasing in no way resembles anything Stevie would pull out of his hat.
Have become a huge fan of this amazingly talented band. And they play like a band, Noah Hunt is perfect compliment to KWS. It's also awesome to have Chris Layton on drums. Going to see them in a couple months.
Saw Kenny Wayne when he was 16yo. Great then, great now. Saw him once more later with Noel. Also very good show. Also saw Chris Lawton way back with SRV.
I like these guys. Man, this sounds great. I think they are still trying to get their chemistry right because that's hard to do with two front men but they have a lot of talent. Noah is a great singer even if he is a little too much trying to pose instead of hanging loose. Leave the bass player alone. He didn't miss a beat all night.
Such a great concert. Noah's soulful voice, Kenny's guitar, Whipper on drums... I miss my life before covid and being able to go see concerts like this...

Awesome!! No.1!!! Kenny Wayne Shepherd ***SUPER Guitar virtuoso** Noah Hunt voice Great. Chris Layton drummer awesome from the legendary Stevie Ray Vaughan Band.
guitar virtuoso is one who can play many different styles and nail it! KWS is a 3 chord blues specialist but not a virtuoso! I'd call Derrick Trucks a virtuoso but not Shepherd!
I’ve seen a lot of guitar players, and many real virtuous players, but At all KWS concerts I had always thought :”The best concert I EVER SEEN”. Kenny’s guitar, Noah voice, Chris drumming and the songs they play a perfect mix.
Btw it wasn’t The Stevie Ray Vaughan Band wittekjmusic 🙄 it was DOUBLE TROUBLE....Stevie always said “I’m Stevie Ray Vaughan & WE ARE Double Trouble!!”.....he saw all of them as equal....very humble guy, Kenny a good imitation of him...but that’s all.
Kenny’s main solo in “shame shame shame” is most certainly a reemphasized version of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s main solo in the live versions of Texas flood. Very very very awesome that Kenny has brought SRV’s Solo Fire into the 21st century with a vengeance and with just as much if not more bang then Stevie did. Kenny is the only blues guitar player that could ever legitimately take the stage with Stevie and actually have a chance at being equal or better than the man himself SRV......... Not to mention with the hat & ponytail working for him and his choice of guitars only rivals SRV!!!!!!!
I listen You, and I can't help but think that everything you transmit is incredibly intense and beautiful, it may be that I was born in the 50s and I grew up on bread and rock and blues !! Thank you very much!!
I was grew up on Rock N Roll, Rhythm N Blues, Boogie Woogie Blues and good old Rockin Blues Too. This stuff sounds good to me. I wake up to the Rockin Blues and it makes me feel good. Kick up the music and play it loud to me all day long to have a hell of a good time. Nothing better than seeing Blues Bands Live N Loud close up.
Too boot Kenny’s voodoo chille is so intertwined with Stevie’s version that it’s hard not to hear Stevie through Kenny. WELL DONE KENNY, your the next generations blues man with the rock solid technique to propel you further than even SRV ever went. Just be careful riding in helicopters after large events or planes from show featuring multiple artist. We don’t need to lose you to the skies or winds too............
Interesting concert, good arrangement of songs, additional guitar, saxophone and trumpet are very good. Didn't know Kenny Wayne Shepherd was singing? Nice.
Soz...probably laughing...it’s like an impersonation tribute band...like the Elvis lot! Yes K is technically good but please let’s get real...no matter how much people want to see k as carrying on his torch....he’s playing at it, no disrespect to kennys playing ...it’s sometimes a tad ridiculous. I really tried to like him but he bores me. The long haired guy, Noah is just weird ....looks uncomfortable a lot of the time then K goes into his fake ‘channelling’ mode, mouth gaping, eyes closed like Stevie but it doesn’t ring true...he’s still there acting the part...an now the hat!!! Omg he’ll be doing Stevies hunched shuffle next....think poor Chris is looking to capture the glory days of Double Trouble but it just isn’t. K was lucky to get him. Last concert I also noticed K shouting at the end of a song “thankyou very much” EXACTLY in the same intonation as Stevie, pretty sad. But he’s popular...good luck to him but KWS...IS NOT SRV, It’s KennyWants to be Stevie....even using his 3 initials...why!!? Stevie admired Hendrix but never called himself Vaughan & dress/act like him....he developed his own very distinct style while paying homage to him & others, Kenny is trying to be Stevie...rock on K 🤤😴
I saw them backing Van Halen when Gary Cherone was lead singer. Set was too short...sounded great. Sweaty Ted Nugent was the first band. Great set with an awesome band.
I saw Kenny Wayne Shepherd band play when they first came out Kenny Wayne Shepherd was probably about twenty one or something long time past now I was just remembering how he was influenced by Stevie Ray Vaughan
Regarding a few comments on the mix, the guitar volume is fine. Kenny's tone isn't the most cutting around and turning it up would just overwhelm everything else. Also, like all the Rockpalast shows I've seen the sound is heavily compressed for TV broadcast so nothing really stands out. That said I'd prefer the band without the horn section but if that's the sound KWS wants at the moment then good luck to him.
First time I saw him, maybe 17 years ago (whenever), I didn't even know he had keyboards. Couldn't hear the guy all night. Blame it on the sound man? Saw him open for Skynyrd and he was louder than them. LOL! I've always liked him though.
Been a fan since I first heard Kws tearing up on deja voodoo.. Bad ass guitarist very inspiring makes me wanna grab my strat .Thank God we got people like this Makin real music

In 1991, I saw Stanley Jordan play at Rockefeller’s in Houston, TX. A lanky teenage kid with stringy blonde hair - some prodigy blues guitarist from Louisiana, we were told - was the opener. After seeing this high-schooler play, we all had a sense that we’d hear more of him in the future. Well, that 14-year-old kid was Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Going to see him play at the Houston House of Blues this evening. Where have all of those years gone?
I see two amazing men....a vocalist...then we have blondie...the guitarist...then...HOLY SNAP.....WTF....YOU HAVE EVERY MUSICIAN AND INSTRUMENT ON THAT STAGE.....NOW MY CHILDREN..THIS IS CALLED A GOOD TIME.❤✌
Thanks for your endless love and support you have shown me I'm forever grateful I really appreciate your unconditional love and support towards me... Where are you watching from?🌹♥️
Another great blues guitarist-right up there with Stevie Rae Vaughn,Gary Moore, Walter Trout,and Joe Bonamassa.Keeping the blues alive.
👍👍👍!
Missed Gary Moore, will see Trout & Bonamassa this year.
SRV @ GREAT WOODS in MA.
So after hearing one of my favorite songs of the past two decades ,Blue on Black, thought I’d see what else KWS did, and found this concert. Damn, what I’ve been missing. Love this band!
I saw them live at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano. One of the best shows I've ever seen! They rocked down that house!
Totally love KWS!!!!! Awesome guitaring by Kenny, and Noah , who has a fabulous voice. And love Chris Layton's funky shirts! ! Awesome band, great musicians.
30 Years Ive been following
Kenny Wayne !!! My favorite Band -AWAYS
YES IT HAS ONLY GOTTEN BETTER AND WILL CONTINUE !!!
He is the Ultimate Guitar Player
Best Band Ever
Noah _omg what a voice
And I’ve loved that Kenny Wayne sings too
Wicked to see Layton getting some recognition. SRV knew how lucky he was with his band 100%. Seeing Chris in a context where he's required to stretch his legs a bit more in terms of song styles is very cool. Makes you appreciate how well rounded a musician he is! What a groovy drummer too. Tones of pocket, can pull out the flashy fills if it suits, but sits back in the beat and just pushes the songs along. Bands are only as good as their drummer and us guitarists, we dream of having a drummer of his caliber to play off!
yeah, its good to see him on a satge, he is so keen on the kit! way to underestimated!
Wrong drummer boy. Good drummers r a dime a dozen. There will never be another SRV. Layton struck lightning. Let's get real son.

Great concert. Great job by everybody. Y'all are rocking it out.

They remind me of. 38 special other southern rockers...saw them years ago. ❤️ them!
He wasn't around in the 80s you are a liar. He came out in 1995 when he was 17 😂🤦♂️🤡
What a great show. These guys rock. The Voodoo Chile rendition was awesome.
Go and watch SRVs version.
@@alanfrehley1373 Wow, so someone can't appreciate KWS version?

Been a solid fan ever since. ✌️
I don't get how anyone can thumbs down this. 97 dweebs did. Very tight, yet very powerful. Great band, great performance. Great guitar.
I want to ask them why. I bet the reasons would be interesting. ✌️
Because it's not taylor swift!!!😂😂😂

Toot-toot! 😂
Yeah, everybody in this band is kicking it!
Them boy's are little sweetheart 's.❤
right & let's not forget about Chris just kicken it back there quietly holding it down.
I don't usually like a horn section, except for a saxophone, but you're right, they were exceptional.

Wow !!! Great Show, I've heard shame, shame, shame in a couple different shows but this version just ROCKS. Thanks for the post.
Saw Kenny Wayne when he was 16yo. Great then, great now. Saw him once more later with Noel. Also very good show. Also saw Chris Lawton way back with SRV.
Awesome!❤
Damn u seen the best!
The most underrated musician alive. If he was born 20 years earlier he would be filling stadiums.
No doubt!!!
Sho´ nuff
I completely agree with that.
If he was born 20 years earlier he'd be Stevie Ray Vaughan
AMEN TO THAT!!!
Chris Layton deserves a comment, too! What a legend!
Mr.Murky...i need to get on the ball here.I appreciate you pointing that out.❤
Whipper's like...yeah I'm just here hanging out playing drums. I love Chris Layton so much...
I'm sure it was an easy transition for him to play with Kenny.
..I'd put Tom Clufetos in there, with me on bass!! Hahaha..yeah, I'm dreaming, but I'm allowed to!
Dude knows something about the pocket.
I like these guys. Man, this sounds great. I think they are still trying to get their chemistry right because that's hard to do with two front men but they have a lot of talent. Noah is a great singer even if he is a little too much trying to pose instead of hanging loose. Leave the bass player alone. He didn't miss a beat all night.
Fantastic Show great players great tunes KWS is a Great Player!!! The Blues Rules!
Recorded back when people were allowed to stand next to each other. :-(
AMEN
Wonder how they did the dirty 6 feet away....Smile❤
Hallelujah ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@kennywayneshepherd4552 HAHAHAHAH nice try homie. What type of scam you running?
Such a great concert. Noah's soulful voice, Kenny's guitar, Whipper on drums... I miss my life before covid and being able to go see concerts like this...
Would have loved to be there.!❤

It’s amazing how my music touches people, thanks to the support from my amazing fans. I hope you never stop listening to my songs❤️
Sem palavras para descrever a emoção ao ouvir todos estes virtuoses. Fantástico e maravilhoso. Agradeço por este lindo concerto em vídeo. Parabéns.
Verdade, conheci o Kenny hoje através de um POST de guitarra onde eu procurava informações, estou extasiado com a banda.
Awesome!! No.1!!! Kenny Wayne Shepherd ***SUPER Guitar virtuoso** Noah Hunt voice Great. Chris Layton drummer awesome from the legendary Stevie Ray Vaughan Band.
guitar virtuoso is one who can play many different styles and nail it! KWS is a 3 chord blues specialist but not a virtuoso! I'd call Derrick Trucks a virtuoso but not Shepherd!
@@anthonycrystal33 agreed. I love KWS but he’s not the level of the great like SRV. Influenced and good yes, but 2 different levels
I’ve seen a lot of guitar players, and many real virtuous players, but At all KWS concerts I had always thought :”The best concert I EVER SEEN”. Kenny’s guitar, Noah voice, Chris drumming and the songs they play a perfect mix.
@@cantemirash obviously never seen a Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble concert!😶 You’d know perfection then...
Btw it wasn’t The Stevie Ray Vaughan Band wittekjmusic 🙄 it was DOUBLE TROUBLE....Stevie always said “I’m Stevie Ray Vaughan & WE ARE Double Trouble!!”.....he saw all of them as equal....very humble guy, Kenny a good imitation of him...but that’s all.
I've never heard of Kenny Wayne Shepherd before, but when you see Chris Layton on drums.
Well, then you know it gonna be good.
Johnny allidey
So true.... I've also seen him playing with Reese Waynans on keyboards. However, no Tommy Shannon.
I came from the other way: love Kenny, I am a guitarist myself (not this league:D) but the drummer got my attention in this video.. crazy tempo.
Chris Layton always solid AF!
I thought exactly the same!!!!
I didn't know Giovanni Ribisi played bass for KWS!!
Love these guys. Saw them a few years ago at one of the best concert areas on earth. Winter Park CO. Beautiful mountains, beautiful music. Good times!
Wow!! This is great stuff...Bravo Kenny Wayne! Killin' it man...(Hard to go wrong with Chris Layton back there as well...)
Whoa, the finish with Voodoo Child! Outstanding! I don't recall ever hearing that song with horns either.
Kenny’s main solo in “shame shame shame” is most certainly a reemphasized version of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s main solo in the live versions of Texas flood. Very very very awesome that Kenny has brought SRV’s Solo Fire into the 21st century with a vengeance and with just as much if not more bang then Stevie did. Kenny is the only blues guitar player that could ever legitimately take the stage with Stevie and actually have a chance at being equal or better than the man himself SRV......... Not to mention with the hat & ponytail working for him and his choice of guitars only rivals SRV!!!!!!!
I listen You, and I can't help but think that everything you transmit is incredibly intense and beautiful, it may be that I was born in the 50s and I grew up on bread and rock and blues !! Thank you very much!!
I was grew up on Rock N Roll, Rhythm N Blues, Boogie Woogie Blues and good old Rockin Blues Too. This stuff sounds good to me. I wake up to the Rockin Blues and it makes me feel good. Kick up the music and play it loud to me all day long to have a hell of a good time. Nothing better than seeing Blues Bands Live N Loud close up.
Eres un fino guitarrista y tu banda es excepcional y este concierto es fabuloso. Felicidades
Best live release of this dreadful year by a mile.....and now it's out on blue ray! Thank you KWS!
You have to listen to the whole album to appreciate the music and the artist.
KWS , Noah Hunt and the band are such an infectious groove it makes you obsessed with this music 🎶
That song, YOU WANT ME,,, oh yes, I do..
Kenny Wayne Shepard...
What's not to want??
He is damn sure, one fine specimen of a man..
Too boot Kenny’s voodoo chille is so intertwined with Stevie’s version that it’s hard not to hear Stevie through Kenny. WELL DONE KENNY, your the next generations blues man with the rock solid technique to propel you further than even SRV ever went. Just be careful riding in helicopters after large events or planes from show featuring multiple artist. We don’t need to lose you to the skies or winds too............
Yeah u right
aaaah OMG so many adjectives .... unfucking believable
Damn good vocalist.
Love the Blues Kenny plays and sings- Noah knows the blues and sings them oh so well!!! Great Blues ! ✌️❤️🎸😎
53:43 Stevie Ray Vaughan, is that you playing the intro of texas flood ?
Interesting concert, good arrangement of songs, additional guitar, saxophone and trumpet are very good. Didn't know Kenny Wayne Shepherd was singing? Nice.
Where in Germany???
The bass player is jumping around like a wild animal...he has a lot of fun on the stage...🤣
They specifically rented a wild animal.Good FRICKIN eye my friend. ❤Right on!
The band is feeding off his energy.
Would Flea really fit this style ?😂
Now that is a band to see live . What a great tone KW gets
Best tone of any living musician. Any damn instrument. And he sings better than Noah too!
He was never afraid of following in the footsteps of SRV. Heavy strings, strong attack and no safety net. He is awesome.
Kenny Wayne, Noah Hunt,, Cris Layton.. years and years being together.. SRV is smiling while he hears this band.
Soz...probably laughing...it’s like an impersonation tribute band...like the Elvis lot! Yes K is technically good but please let’s get real...no matter how much people want to see k as carrying on his torch....he’s playing at it, no disrespect to kennys playing ...it’s sometimes a tad ridiculous. I really tried to like him but he bores me. The long haired guy, Noah is just weird ....looks uncomfortable a lot of the time then K goes into his fake ‘channelling’ mode, mouth gaping, eyes closed like Stevie but it doesn’t ring true...he’s still there acting the part...an now the hat!!! Omg he’ll be doing Stevies hunched shuffle next....think poor Chris is looking to capture the glory days of Double Trouble but it just isn’t. K was lucky to get him. Last concert I also noticed K shouting at the end of a song “thankyou very much” EXACTLY in the same intonation as Stevie, pretty sad. But he’s popular...good luck to him but KWS...IS NOT SRV, It’s KennyWants to be Stevie....even using his 3 initials...why!!? Stevie admired Hendrix but never called himself Vaughan & dress/act like him....he developed his own very distinct style while paying homage to him & others, Kenny is trying to be Stevie...rock on K 🤤😴
Noah is way underrated vocalist
I am so happy, Kenny will come to Nürnberg/Germany on October 30th. Just bought my tickets... He`s an absolutly idol for me as a gitar-player.
Thanks for posting - superb.......and what a version of Turn to Stone!
no shit - that solo though!
I love a human who wants nor expects nothing however the MUSIC...PRICELESS...AND FOR THAT I THANK YOU AND THE BAND.INPECIBLE CONCERT! THANK YOU❤
I've seen him 3 times, in support of Joe Walsh in 2011, with Experience Hendrix in 2014, and as a headliner in 2017. All great shows!
Increible recital. Gracias por compartir!!! 🤘🤘
Saw Kenny live for the first time about 20 years ago. STILL SOUNDING GREAT 👍
Woah...i thunk he was 20❤
saw this guy open for zz top bearly 20 years ago, been a huge fan since i was was 15!
I saw them backing Van Halen when Gary Cherone was lead singer. Set was too short...sounded great. Sweaty Ted Nugent was the first band. Great set with an awesome band.
LUCKY YOU❤
No one plays turn to stone like KWS !!! He truly owns this song, what soul expression!!
I saw Kenny Wayne Shepherd band play when they first came out Kenny Wayne Shepherd was probably about twenty one or something long time past now I was just remembering how he was influenced by Stevie Ray Vaughan
David Bowie on the drums.
Love, love, LOVE this concert!!!!
Seen Kennu Wayne when he was the Warm-up band for Van Halen. Exempt Pink Floyd.. By far, One of the best Concerts I've ever been too..
Regarding a few comments on the mix, the guitar volume is fine. Kenny's tone isn't the most cutting around and turning it up would just overwhelm everything else. Also, like all the Rockpalast shows I've seen the sound is heavily compressed for TV broadcast so nothing really stands out. That said I'd prefer the band without the horn section but if that's the sound KWS wants at the moment then good luck to him.
First time I saw him, maybe 17 years ago (whenever), I didn't even know he had keyboards. Couldn't hear the guy all night. Blame it on the sound man? Saw him open for Skynyrd and he was louder than them. LOL! I've always liked him though.
Been a fan since I first heard Kws tearing up on deja voodoo.. Bad ass guitarist very inspiring makes me wanna grab my strat .Thank God we got people like this Makin real music
This is music for the ears that feeds the soul.

Is that The Whip?
Chris Layton on DRUMS ?? ?? ?? I KNOW WHY, HE PLAYS ONLY WITH THE BEST . . . . . . .
Great band, great voice from mr Hunt. And one cool bassist right there,,, no big deal.
In 1991, I saw Stanley Jordan play at Rockefeller’s in Houston, TX. A lanky teenage kid with stringy blonde hair - some prodigy blues guitarist from Louisiana, we were told - was the opener. After seeing this high-schooler play, we all had a sense that we’d hear more of him in the future. Well, that 14-year-old kid was Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Going to see him play at the Houston House of Blues this evening. Where have all of those years gone?
The best version of all the times of Voodoo child was played by Stevie Ray !
Duh. Thnx Captain Obvious. The best version of anything was played by SRV. Including his damn soundcheck.
@@lastwhtknight3002 Yes !!!
Lo
The best version was played in 1968 on Electric Ladyland..
@@lastwhtknight3002 Frank Marino, one the best, check out "Frank Marino love at the Agora Theater" DVD
