Listening, and playing along with this show this afternoon. By golly this is what Summer is supposed to sound like. John's guitar solo is quite a romp. Oteil is right on here. The guys were on that night... what a pocket.

They used to have this thing down on 1st Av. in downtown Nashville, called Festival of Lights. I first saw Keb' Mo' play that stage one scorching hot Summer night in 1996. I remember thinking at the time- that's it, right there. He was to Robert Johnson, what our bunch was to Bill Monroe. He had him, to the note, to the smallest detail, and was destined to carry that music forward. I talked to him about it after his set, and not long after that, I had the complete set of Robert Johnson's recordings. To this day, there is seldom a show goes by I don't do at least one of them, and hat-tip to Ol' Bob.

I saw that one in my sidebar the other day, along with Roy Clark and Clarence Gatemouth Brown. We must be watching the same stuff. Or I was just watching one you posted maybe? The guitar got my attention... is that a Gibson Firebird?!

Mid-1965 or later Firebird III, to be exact.

I figured you would know. There's a guy up here... I don't know him other than by name, we just go to the same barber... but he has one from a little later. I thought he told me either '67 or '69. He had an older one and sent it to Gibson for something warranty-related. It got destroyed or lost or something, and they sent him a new one. It was so unusual that I remember it. In fact, I can't recall ever seeing another on in the wild.
