Take that punk that wrote the words about the ABB and tie his ass to a chair right in front of the PA speakers. Let them play at concert level starting with Black hearted Woman, Every Hungry Woman, Dreams, Stormy Monday, The Same Thing, Mountain Jam (although his brain probably wouldn't get that one), then top it off with Whipping Post. Then untie him, point him toward the stage and say, "you see that young kid in the middle, he is touring with EC, the guy on the end is the greatest white blues singer alive, the other guitarist is a rock legend who could play with anyone and intimidate most. "see that drummer in the middle, he is the finest latino drummer on the planet. The white drummer is known as "freight train" and has won the award for best R&B drummer several times. The black drummer has so much computerized material in his brain you would not be able to comprehend anything he tells you because you don't know *****. The bass player is world renown as one of the greatest to ever pick up the instrument. That, my punk ass friend is the every night line-up of the ABB. If you can't see now why they are in a league comprised of only the Beatles, Eagles, and possibly the Stones as the bands that shaped music as we know it since 1964. No other bands need apply. You won't get in because you are not worthy. It is about the music man. Not the ups and downs. It's what comes out of the speakers night after night. 37 years and they perform the greatest Beacon Run ever in 2006. One more thing. They don't need gimmicks. They play from the soul like their life depended on it.
