Just back from the Brezoi Open Blues Fest when this came as a sad closure...John Mayall has gone on July 22nd. He was 90.
John Mayall is/was Mr White in the Blues. Groundgreaker. Bluesbreaker. As in John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers.
Saw him twice in Bucharest, in the 90's and in the new millennium, in 2012, same venue, Sala Palatului. In 1995 his guitarist sidekick was the sensational heavy Texan Buddy Whittington. It mesmerized me that second time he was selling his own CD's, first artist I saw doing that...(setlist and pictures here!)
Jeff Beck gone, Only Clapton remains. His homage to Mayall here:
BBC obit here.
