A fantastic performance from a grate guy, glad I was there

It was a joy to see this master of his art having fun and enjoying Glasto as much as Glasto enjoyed him. It was also such an extraordinary experience to be part of a crowd that was so moved, as we were by his rendering of Skin Deep. I will remember this performance for a very long time

What a talent; why can't the younger generation learn from the masters and take music forward. Eric Clapton took the playing of Buddy Guy to inspire him back in the 60's. Most of todays legends including the Rolling Stones used the Blues as their roots to take Music forward. Music is much too run by the music industry, which hypes up drivel with a very few exceptions and they break through on their ability rather than squillions of advertising budget.

By far the best thing at Glastonbury this year!

James Hemmings
Possibly the best act all weekend!

excellent! what a showman! great guitarist, excellent band. He seemed to have as much fun as his audience, but then he has been around a long time and honed his trade, so he knows how and what to deliver! That's entertainment! Brilliant!

What a set that was last night!!! By far the best thing to hit Glasto this year and then some!Had never knowingly heard much by this guy though was aware of his influences on several artists I have enjoyed. Throw into the equation the Better Half and I had only just flicked over to beeb 4 by chance as it began......and it was utter delight. What have we been missing all these years?! Pure joy and live music at its best. The banner that read Buddy Guy is God couldn't have been more appropriate. Then compare him to certain other so called headliners who look on the verge of complete personal implosion and you can't help but wonder, why not take this Guy as an example as to where to head ?...Live Long Buddy!
