Harvey Mandel may be 73 years old, but don't let anyone tell you he can't play anymore.

Thanks, Rob! Grin Cool!! I'm happy to see Barry keeping the name alive! What were some of the songs they played? Was Nick there?

Yes, Nick Gravenites was there. He didn't come out until an hour into their one hour 45 minute set. He looked like he was having trouble just getting out there. Not a big surprise I guess...........I just looked on wikipedia: He will be 80 years old in October of this year. He sat in a chair (like Mandel) and sang without playing an instrument for the last 45 minutes. I thought he sang reasonably well. Harvey Mandel and Barry Goldberg played their damn asses off!!

I have more video but will only post if people request it.

I apologize that you can't see either Harvey Mandel or Barry Goldberg in this video. But you can hear it. I can't stand for 2-3 hours and I got there early and grabbed one of the very few seats available at Moe's. But it gave me a bad angle for shooting video.

One final video, Blues With A Feeling. This was on The Paul Butterfield Blues Band's first record.
