Hadn’t seen this thread until now for some reason. I attended the June 29 show at the Woodland Pak Zoo in Seattle. Just three days earlier, I had seen a player named Jerry Miller on a bandstand at a local car show. Miller is a founder of the group Moby Grape and lives in the local area (Tacoma). I was totally blown up by his performance and was still in a state of stunned admiration three days later. Unknown to me at the time, Miller is a highly regarded player in rock history (just read his Wikipedia entry).
So I was all set to think on Wednesday night that Lu’s guitarist would have to be mighty good to impress me since I had heard one of the legends just a few days ago. Well, I can testify that Blake is an absolute knockout and truly a virtuoso. If he keeps this up, the sky’s the limit. He impressed me to the max!
