My Husband and I saw Buddy Guy at House of Blues a few months ago. Great concert! He walked around in the crowd and even went up into the balcony. Everyone loved it. Buddy is The Blues.

mgarcia, that must be a regular part of his act. He did the same at the very muddy and very large Beale Street Fest and then climbed to the top of a soundboard scaffolding for a couple songs.
