This was awesome! Probably the best show in this year (ex aequo with Bobby McFerrin two weeks later at the same place). It's cool to see good and LIVING guitarist (cause you don't often go on a show with Jimi Hendrix or Stevie Ray Vaughan,to who I also liten to, playing live). I had to take a 3-day break from a camp at the Wigry Lake and I must say it was worth it. All the good songs (+one boring - I Believe - it was like pop) were on the gig. It was fun to see how the riffs and solo's are played (like in Crushing Day or Surfing With An Alien). It's a pity I didn't get a pick or an autograph (not mentioning the aftershow ticket).

Thanks for the show and come back to Poland on the 12th Warsaw Summer Jazz Days (or maybe on the Jazz Jamboree this year!!!)
