I Saw Kenny Wayne Shepherd two times in 10 days in the Netherlands. April 29 in the Groningen and on May 10th in Amsterdam.
How happy person I am to saw my hero two times this year.
In the first show I caught Guitar pick from him, the first one. I'm not playing on this one I'm only look it to it.

I spoken with Kenny's manager, in Amsterdam.
She promise me that Kenny is back before 2025.
That would be great. Here some pictures I have make.

I stood on the first row. Here a short, video impression I made.

By the way, I have shot this one with my cellphone too, and got the most points from a online KWS fan page in the USA as best cellphone picture, how nice is that! 😀

You are just bubbling over with enthusiasm, Andrè. But I only need to watch the video clip to understand why 😊.   

You have really taken incredibly beautiful photos of your hero. I'm very impressed.

For you, it's a dream come true to see your favorite musician on stage in your own country 👍. 

Enjoy the anticipation of the next concert visit.

Birgit

Thank for your kind words as always Birgit.

Yeah I saw Kenny about eight times and I'm always impressed how this man can play. I can get not enough from Kenny and his band.
I love the voice from Noah, and for me it so Special to see SRV drummer Chris Layton 😀

Yes, great photos.  And KWS is a great guitarist.  We saw him for the first time live in Las Vegas severral years ago.  And then on the Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea Cruise a couple years ago.  Both just great shows, especially the one on the cruise.  I know that it is sacrilegious to suggest anyone did a better job or cover of Voodoo Child than Hendrix or Stevie Ray, but.......!  KWS's show was on the pool deck outside and maybe part was the great environment.  One of the truly great musical experiences ever for my wife and me.

We get to see him again the month after next here at home in Omaha!  We are really looking forward to it.

Thanks, Yeah this guy and his band give always great shows and go always for hundred procent or more. I'm a fan from the first hour (since 1995) The first time he was in Holland Was in 96 as supporting act bij The Eagles. That most be a great experience Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea Cruise. Hope to be there ever, but I think must wait till my retirement. Thanks you sharing this. Our house is buit on SRV/KWS stuff. Have two guitars from KWS and two from SRV. In the band we play Blue on Black and Baby got gone from Kenny. Hope to learn more from those two.

Have a great time in Omaha! I can imagine that you looking forward to it. Hope that you share the pictures.

Here a pic from my fav guitars I have.

By the way there are four pictures from my father and grand father.
The where professionals from about 1948 till 1973. the two pictures below is the band where I play in

A just horrible recording of the KWS concerrt on the cruise.  Just horrible.  It doesn't begin to do justice to what a great experience it was.  Should you ever have an opportunity to go, don't pass it up.    I know that cruise attendance has been decreasing and I can understand that.   But the opportunity to see so many great musical groups at one time does, IMHO, offset the negatives.

Even if the recording is horrible, as a KWS fan listen all recording.
So great that you where there. That was in 2019, I have. I hope to go to a Cruise concert ever. I have the KTBA Cruise in my cloud at home ten videos from this guy! Thanks from sharing this one Ron, I like the view where you has record the song from!

@stevie-dreAndre, you already brought me to SRV and now with your enthusiasm you also managed to open the way to KWS for me. I can only thank you for that 😊.

I want to tell you that I’m so glad I stumbled on this video from the Jazz Days 2019 in Leverkusen (DE) and it really grabbed me.

 

Absolutely amazing, the whole band, Chris Layton on the drums, fantastic, and Noah is great too.

Kenny’s main solo in Shame, shame, shame 00:49:52 is outstanding ! and a fantastic finish with Voodoo Child. I'm delighted.

Oh, what am I saying, everything is just great from beginning to end 👍.

I stay tuned,

Birgit

That's great to hear Birgit that you like SRV and KWS.
Two great players. Ive see the Straight To You tour from KWS two times in Holland. Always a great show when Kenny and his band is in the house.

I Have the Blu-Rays form Jazz Days 2019 in Leverkusen (The Straight To You tour)

I have all SRV/KWS CD's/Dvd's and Blu-Rays.

And have about 60 hours or more music You-Tube videos in the cloud.

It never bored me, all those great music.

And great to see you with enthusiasm too Birgit with those two great guitar players. 😀
