Buddy Guy — Red Rocks Amphitheatre, 2013

Filmed live concert of Buddy Guy at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, on 28 August 2013. A living legend of Chicago blues, Buddy Guy has influenced generations of guitarists, from Eric Clapton to Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan, through his incandescent playing and showmanship. In this full concert he alternates his own classics — “Damn Right, I’ve Got the Blues”, “Five Long Years”, “Meet Me in Chicago” — with covers of standards, before unleashing his showman’s flair in fiery medleys weaving together Hendrix and Cream. The grand setting of Red Rocks, a natural amphitheatre carved from red sandstone, offers an exceptional backdrop for the performance. The capture also spotlights his young protégé Quinn Sullivan, invited to share the stage. An essential live concert for lovers of electric blues, guitar and living history, documenting the undimmed energy of a master with a legendary career. Recorded in high definition, the film preserves every nuance of his fierce, expressive Stratocaster tone.
