I was really blown away last night

by watching a live concert by

John Mayall and his band.

He's the one who gave a start in the Blues to Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Mick Taylor and John McVie, among others. With a new line-up for his band, for both recording and touring, and it being comprised of some extremely talented individuals, the evening went by quickly and was enjoyed thoroughly. It's so great to see a band setup that didn't include the stacks and stacks of speakers that rock bands always have. The sound was loud, but the sound wasn't painful and we could still hear afterward without any buzzing or ringing in our ears. It's great to hear and see professionals who really know what they're doing!

If you get a chance to hear them in concert, go for it, and if you want to hear what they're like, you might want to pick up one of his newer albums. He's recorded 56 or so, after all...
