George "Buddy" Guy (born July 30, 1936) is an American blues guitarist, George Edward "G. E." Smith (born January 27, 1952) is an American guitarist. The Saturday Night Live Band (referred to in the closing credits as The Live Band) is the house band of the NBC television program Saturday Night Live.
Buddy Guy is without a doubt one of the greatest guitar players in the world. This film, which showcases Guy live at his world famous “Legends” takes us on a musical journey. It not only shows us the immensly talented Guy playing with G.E. Smith and the Saturday Night Live band but it also features interview clips in which Guy recalls his early days, his influences as well as his brushes with other bluesmen as Muddy Waters.
This film is brilliantly directed and filmed. The most important thing, however, is the music. It does not get any better with fiery blues riffs, solos, his charismatic stage presence and of course the trademark passionate voice of Buddy Guy, and live.
A wonderful musical journey with one of the most talented and creative guitar players of our time. Buddy Guy is the epitome of blues greats and he is without a doubt the real deal.
As close as Buddy Guy’s ever likely to come to recapturing the long-lost Chess sound. Cut live at his popular Chicago nightspot, Buddy Guy’s Legends, with guitarist G.E. Smith’s horn-leavened Saturday Night Live Band and pianist Johnnie Johnson in lush support, Guy revisits his roots on sumptuous readings of “I’ve Got My Eyes on You,” “Ain’t That Lovin’ You,” “My Time After Awhile,” and “First Time I Met the Blues.” No outrageous rock-based solos or Cream/Hendrix/Stevie Ray homages; this is the Buddy Guy album that purists have salivated for the last quarter century or so.
