Saw Taj Majal with SG last night. Wow! I don't know his "hits" and I probably couldn't even pick his song out of a lineup if you played one and asked me to identify it, but what a great show. The guy can play many styles, delta blues, African high life, something like a claw hammer banjo style, even bluesy piano. He was solo, and I was afraid it might get a little tedious, but perish the thought. Nothing but good stuff. There was abs no cameras, phones, etc allowed inside, and the crowd was really well-behaved (for once): when taj was quiet, everyone else was, too. He had our rapt attn the whole time. He was funny, chatty, informative, told good stories, took requests, mugged for the crowd, did impressions, played his ace off. So glad I went.....
I had seen him do an in-store at amoeba a couple of years back and he did nothing but entertain the crowd 100%.
