BIDDY MULLIGAN'S 1985 CHICAGO
2005 CHICAGO BLUES FESTIVAL

Buddy Guy's Legends has built a reputation as the nation's premier blues nightclub. Mr. Guy's personal reputation as the crowned king of Chicago's electric blues scene and his 36 years in the music business have made Buddy some close friends - the sort of friends who drop in every now and then. Not only had Buddy played to sold-out houses a the club every year, but so have Koko Taylor, The Fabulous Thunderbirds and even Eric Clapton. Clapton graced Legends' stage with three sold-out performances in November 1994. There unprecedented concerts awed the crowd, as Clapton called up Otis Rush to jam, and nodded to the Who's Pete Townsend, who had stopped by to take in the show. As a blues club, Legends is distinguished for its innovative scheduling of local, national and international blues musicians.~buddyguys.com
