Bonnie Raitt and the Fugitive Emotions Evoked by Slide Guitar

I was at the Beacon Theatre for this show, I had not seen her since mid 80's when I was doing monitors for a club in NY, that she was playing. She is just amazing to watch and hear, and then she pulls out the acoustic, man she could not get swampier than anyone out there. Anyway this article tells it a lot better than I could

Thank you for posting mud. Nice article that mentioned just about every slide player except the great one, Johnny Winter.

I saw her about a month ago. The opening night for her new tour. She certainly puts on a good show and does it effortlessly, or so it seems. The group that opened for her had a young female vocalist, that was pretty good. Then Bonnie came out and showed her how it's done.

I saw her back in the early 70s in Syracuse ... she was just getting started at the time. This performance was just her and an acoustic guitar and in a bar setting and she was already great then. I next saw her live here in LA a few years ago, same great talent, now with a lot of slide work as well. The one thing that had changed was that her voice had certainly grown into the material over the years. Then she was in her early 20s and stood out from a lot of other singer/guitarists of the time. Now ... a legend.
