I had the privilege of seeing Eric Johnson and Roscoe Beck at the BB King Club in NYC last night.

It was an Amazing show. Eric was brilliant, and so was Roscoe Beck. He took two different bass solos.

I got to sit right in front of Roscoe. His two stacks of 8 x 10's
felt like they were going to blow the hat off of my head.

A fantastic show.

I was out all day, and I just got back in town. I wanted to just leave a few other comments about the concert, to give credit to the masters.

This band is a return to the same line up circa Tones - EJ, Roscoe Beck, and Tommy Taylor.

All 3 were amazing. Eric Johnson, as always, played gloriously. A great thing about the BB King Club is you can occasionally catch warm ups, and we did - watching EJ warm up and get set. Tons of fun.

Tommy was super solid and tight.

Roscoe was superb. Outstanding tone, and powerful, rich playing with 110% authority. He was The Man.

If they take the tour through your town, do yourself a favor and catch it.
