The band also signed autographs for the crowd after the gig while selling their live CD/DVD package that they were promoting at the time. They all seemed happy, with Nick being especially relaxed entertaining some Greek relatives he hadn't seen for a while. It was so amazing seeing all these legends of the 1960's blues explosion all in the same band. Each one of them could be the source of a book on their experiences. Just too bad Mike and Paul couldn't have been there as well..........
