Wow...extensive list! A lot of the old legends are touring again...(my boss thinks they have run out of money...lol) The Stones were recently here, several others.

I saw Kiss, Def Leopard live...I might have to recant that on Clapton being the best...Santana at Chastain was outstanding too, different genre but in his day Prince was a crazy stage performer.

I did see BB at a small night club, probably 20' from stage...my top 3 (make that 4) guitarist in no particular order...Clapton, Hendrix, Joe Walsh, Stevie Ray.

Dammit, I forgot to list Santana! I have seen him live as well. I saw BB a total of 8x in 3 different states, & he never put on a bad show. Kiss & DL I'm guessing put on some good shows. And I like your list of all time great guitar players.

You've seen quite a bit of Lucille...uh...I have to add Santana to the all time list on guitar...he was relentless the night we saw him in concert.

Yes I have. Back in the early/mid 90's the BB King Blues Fest used to play Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Fall, OH. Saw BB & Lucille 5x @ that venue. I was 1 of the lucky many that got to meet BB, what an absolute thrill that was. Then 2x when I lived in Myrtle Beach & once while roasting in Las Vegas for 5 years. Never got tired of seeing him live. And Santana's great as well live. Saw him 3x @ Blossom.

Yes! Love those guys

No doubt. I was happy to see them finally get the respect they deserve by getting into the RnR HOF. That really should have happened a long time ago.
