Thanks WolfgangC....I wonder if Gazza or HTM will make the shows....You know Bo Didley lives outside of gainesville, Florida where i went to college...I saw him at the 94 PPV in Miami...I think he is a little long in the tooth, but still worth catching. |

Anyone seen him this tour? He was playing clubs in the US but didn't catch his show. He was very underwhelming several years ago at the Chicago Bluesfest. Yeah he was sick, but ... |

What? Well the proof's in the puddin'. Bo Diddley is inconsequential. I like him but he's not an essential rung in the ladder like Little Richard, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker or Rick Nelson. |

TTM I know. But I dared once to put some critical remarks about Chuck Berry's current shows and Wolfgang exploded! But I think you are absolutely right...  |

I agree with you on Berry too....put's very little effort into shows and his disdain for the fans is unbelievable...he simply is trying to make a buck as he must be in financial distress b/c of all the legal hassles over the years .. |

Yes that was great wasn't it. Bo is lousy. He can't sing or play anymore and apparently never could. Don't tell him that tho, he wants $$$ for inventing that little thing called the Bo Diddley beat. And of course Jody Williams played on his sides back in the day but he's pissed too because, oh forget it... |

That show was very bad, I can tell you. Not what a typical Bo Diddley show is like.

Nope, he loves playing and his fans love him for that. Easy as that!

If he never could play, why is he one of the Stones' idols then? Why did the Stones then try to revive his career several times?

It's sad you people call yourselves Stones fans but can't see the importance of Bo in the history of rock-n-roll(Wolf gang not included)..just a few of his classics
1. I.m a Man
2. Pretty thing
3. Who Do You Love
4. Mona
5. Before you accuse Me
6. Crackin'Up
7. Roadrunner
8. Can't Judge A Book
and yeah he's about the $$$. He got ripped off his whole career, but give the man his dues you pricks...

Were you there? Do you have a recording? I cut out early to head up the Pine Valley Cosmonauts show that night. Memory is a little foggy but they had guests join him. Jody Williams, Billy Boy Arnold??? Nothing new there, happens all the time. Bands don't rehearse etc and the results are mixed. |
