Blues legend Buddy Guy was honored with a sold-out tribute concert, "Buddy's Got the Blues," at Radio City Music Hall in New York on Thursday, celebrating his 90th birthday with a three-hour-plus show featuring numerous guest musicians. The concert, held two months after his birthday, included performances by John Mayer, Eric Gales, Joe Bonamassa, and others, backed by a house band led by Rolling Stones drummer Steve Jordan. Guy performed several songs himself, including duets with Shemekia Copeland and Bobby Rush. Guy's team announced a new album for next year, produced by Jordan. The visibly moved Guy called the event "the greatest day I ever had in my life."
