"Floyd's Hotel" from a couple of years ago. Please note that Magic Dick is playing on the vocal mic, old-school style. Great tone, too.

Wow, looks like his amp died in the beginning. He got handed another mic and kept rolling. Class act and good show!

So, is Bluestime a thing of the past, or just on hiatus?

IMHO, Magic Dick sounds way better when playing with Tommy Castro's band recently.

i would be pissed as the harp player at the first two gigs. great harmonica through the crappy sound and could be the harp gear, but my bet is the sound guy totally messed up on the harp sound. vocals, backups were ok. harp sound sucked. the third video had recording problems but the harp was proper in the mix. nothing groundbreaking in the harp playing here, but would not expect that.
