To add to my previous review. In Robert’s defense , I’ve seen him other times , and he was great . But The promoter that night underestimated Stevie . “In step “. Came out a week after that show .lol He was clean and on fire. He did most of “in step “. ,magical. Closed with voodoo chid and it rained again Lightning in the distance. ( it rained at a lot of Jimi’s outdoor shows) lol. So the problem wasn’t the wine . Robert should have had Stevie out for the last few tunes , like Joe Cocker did there, a year later . And there wouldn’t have been a mass pile of chairs at the end lol and pissed people!! Lol
This show was unreal ,, Stevie came out , opened with “ house is rockin “ and kicked ass the whole set. Played couldn’t stand the weather , and it began to rain , big drops ! He was on fire .! After Stevie , Robert Cray came out , and had a nightmare . Robert’s guitar was out of tune , then he broke a string . Then it got worse . I don’t know who the genius was that thought he could follow Stevie ,,,? But it was a mistake. Stevie blew him so far off the stage , it wasn’t even funny . Then when Robert didn’t bring Stevie back out at the end of the show , the crowd was pissed. Threw chairs into a pile in the middle of the floor . Crazy. Last concert they let you bring a bottle of wine to your seat lol. I play guitar for a living , Stevie blew me away . !!! During Stevie’s set , everyone was on there feet , Robert was the opposite. And I like Robert . But he looked literally green that night , lol . John Hiatt opened the show with an acoustic set . Very cool . Had a song that was about his dislike of people bashing guitars . Lol. Ironically after his set , he Tripped over a cord and his acoustic guitar did s faceplant on the stage lol . I was in the 11th row , center Amazing show .
