Have to share this with you guys...
I only had the privilege of seeing Jeff perform once, but it turned out to be one of my best concert memories, of all of the dozens of big and small shows I've attended.
The show was at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, and it was a triple bill with The Robert Cray Band, then Jeff's band, and finally Colin James' band. About 8,000 in attendance, and my wife and I were sitting centre stage, second row. I couldn't have been more than 15 or twenty feet away from Jeff and Robert when they were playing their sets. Colin was a lot more mobile.
Jeff was simply amazing. I remember thinking at the time that this was what it felt like to watch Hendrix play in person.
Rock on Jeff... I'll be picking up his upcoming album, to support his family if nothing else. Though I'm sure I'll enjoy it, envisioning Jeff ripping it up.
