Saturday Matinee – Grace Potter & The Nocturnals, Big Brother & The Holding Company, Roomful Of Blues
Grace Potter and The Nocturnals performing “Treat Me Right” at the 8×10 in Baltimore, MD on September, 14 2006. They pretty much nailed the Big Brother & The Holding Company sound.
So here is Janis Joplin with BB & The HC “Summmertime / I need a man to Love” at the Holllywood Palace Oct. 26 1968.
Roomful of Blues is a great band to see live. Here they are in 2010 with Big Joe Turner‘s “Boogie Woogie Country Girl.”
That’s it for today. Have a great weekend folks.
