I almost forgot about Boz Skaggs

I found some old CD's, which I had ripped from some tapes and vinyl, back in the day. He was a decent artist.
If you like blues / jazz, then his song. "as teh years go passing by" should be a nice treat.

He sounds a lot like our own Harvey, who sings Who's watching over, who's watching over you.

We saw him perform live this past Aug and he was quite good.

His music also crossed into the disco genre on occasion. Good stuff.

This thread also reminds me of The Brecker Brothers and Jeff Beck & Jan Hammer.

My favorite and I believe his best is "Lone Me A Dime."

I first saw him back in the 70's at a Day on the Green wich had about 10 headliners Bands playing (I think it cost about $20 for a ticket) When we went and saw him last August it cost us $90 a ticket. He was good but not worth that kind of money.

The crowd was made up of Baby Boomer Yuppies, the parking lot was full of BMW's, Mercedes and Cadillacs (who was a sponsor of the show) A lot of expanding waistlines, receding hairlines and saggy boobs. I know they were my age peers but I felt out of place there. I doubt you'd see the same crowd at an Allman Bros show (another band from the same era) which is more my type of crowd.

But how was the music? !!!!
Mike, you're a lot like me, given the same circumstances.

The music was good (especially if you like the Blues). I've always been a fan of Boz since the days when he played with Steve Miller. The first time I saw him was back in the 70's at a Day on the Green when he shared the bill with about 7 other Headliners (for only $20 a ticket). The I saw him with Elvin Bishop, Cold Heat, Buddy Guy and a bunch of other Blues bands

I was surprised to see him out on tour, when his heyday had passed he bought a Blues Club in Noth beach (San Francisco for all you Midwest Rubes) and has become a very successful businessman.

Like I said the music was good but the crowd was weird. Watching a bunch of overweight yuppie scum getting down in their designer clothing was surreal. I'll take a stadium full of white trash tattoo sporting rednecks rocking out to Lynard Skynard any day.
