I’d have to think he’s the last of the really really legendary blues men. I’m not aware of any others that are still alive.
I really like those guys, but while it was never a "priority" to go see them, I managed to see
BB King (Champaign 1986)
Bo Diddley (Boston 1992)
Buddy Guy (Tahoe x2, mid 90's)
John Lee Hooker (several X, Catalyst Santa Cruz and John Lee Hooker's Boom Boom Room)
One of my worst musical moments, had a bad first date, we are in Palo Alto, and I offer to take us to go see music, The Radiators were playing in SF, John Lee Hooker was playing in Santa Cruz. She chose the Radiators. Turns out this girl has zero taste in music, is into Country. While the Radiators aren't exactly my scene (they have people who follow them around like the Dead so it's a very in crowd weird thing) I do like them, but with a drag of a date we didn't even stay that long.
Well, it turns out the Stones were in town to do a show, I was gonna go to that until the show got cancelled because Mick was sick. So I ended up having this date that night instead.
Keith had nothing to do so he went to Santa Cruz and played the entire set with John Lee Hooker....
