Das könnte ein s e h r interessanter Auftritt werden. Zumal ein oder 2 very special guests dazu kommen könnten.
Wenn man nur Zeit und Geld hätte, bei so einem Ereignis live dabei zu sein...

...also, knowing that Sumlin is the only guitarist Keith Richards said he'd ever get out of bed to see perform, and that Richards and his old buddy Mick Jagger picked up the bill for Hubert's funeral, don't be surprised if there's a Rolling Stone or two on stage as well!

Hubert's Party
Next month's all-star tribute to the late blues guitarist Hubert Sumlin is coming together. Headlined and organized by Eric Clapton, the Apollo Theatre show will include performances by Keith Richards, Derek Trucks and his wife Susan Tedeschi, James Cotton, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Buddy Guy, Robert Randolph and Jimmie Vaughan, among many others. Backing them will be an all-star house band featuring Steve Jordan, Danny Korchmar, Ivan Neville, Willie Weeks, Kim Wilson and others. Everyone involved is hoping that a DVD of the event (like Clapton's "Crossroads Festival" series) will be released by this Summer.
