I planned to see this in KC, but by the time I went to get tickets it was sold out. Omaha was probably my last shot to ever see Buddy Guy in concert and I didn't want to miss it. I arrived between the acts (left KC at 5 P.M. to arrive around 8) and found my seat with about 10 minutes to spare before showtime. For where I sat (stage right in the lower balcony), I think I got a decent pull. Buddy doesn't talk too loud, so some of his banter is a bit quiet (and some of that banter was so long it went on its own indices). From a performing standpoint, his execution was excellent as well as his tone. I thought he played Take Me to the River, but I didn't hear it during editing. If you do, please let me know so I can at least update this text file. I also think that the last tune may be Little By Little, but with it being an instrumental I cannot say for sure. Finally, if you are going to downsample to burn to disc, the suggested spot I have is between Grits Ain't Groceries and Boom Boom.
