A lot of good blues guys already mentioned.
Also, try some Jimi Hendrix albums. Check out some of the songs that weren't "hits". He covered alot of great blues stuff, and wrote quite a bit of his own, too.
He was a phenominal blues player when he wasn't trippin' out and playin' stuff like 'foxy lady' and 'purple haze'.

that place looked like it was pretty small, must have been a good show. check this site out you can download bootlegs of shows from all different bands. there is a good bit of derek on there. also check out aquarium rescue unit if you have never heard of them, they are about the best band ever.

My absolute favorite: Joe Bonamassa!
Close seconds: Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Jonny Lang (if you check out these too, try their first 2 or 3 albums. Their later stuff while not bad, ain't good blues...)

Hey man, thanks for the site!
I am not very computer saavy, so it will prolly take me awhile to figure it out, unless you have some pointers on how to download and play the songs from it? Do they play in media player and can I save them to my iPod?
Thanks for the link!

p.s. yes it was a small venue, its an old church converted into a theatre, I worked EMS for the town, so I had some friends there that got me tickets, it was an amazing show!
