I saw Boz live last year at the Santa Barbara Bowl. He was performing with Donald Fagan and Michael McDonald. They were all fantastic and worked so well together.

Boz's songs, aren't especially mainstream, but the hooks are very strong, and they work very well as instrumentals.

It was a rare night that someone didn't come up at one of my breaks after hearing either of the above Scaggs's pieces, and ask, "What was that tune; it sounds so familiar, yet I can't put a name on it?"

I bought the DVD of the concert (Live at Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, Aug.2003), and it gets played a lot, at least as often as "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" (Funk Brothers documentary), another gem.


Boz's "Lido Shuffle" is another great tune, too.

That must have been a great concert, Nigel...all those guys are kind of heroes to me.
