Hubert Sumlin Band
Hubert had flashes of brilliant guitar work. His singing left something to be desired (but I don't recall him singing with Wolf). The band did a great job of helping Hubert along when he needed it. This was not really a good fit for a Tom Petty crowd but what was really cool was Tom Petty came out and introduced Hubert himself with obvious warmth. I doubt Petty does that for very many opening acts.
Yes, Hubert is past his prime and has suffered some health problems but some of his guitar work gave me chills. This guy was and is the real deal.
