Back in 1987, my brother and I attended an all-day Blues Festival where Albert played in mid-afternoon to a small crowd with empty seats scattered around.

He came out walking around during a solo, and sat down RIGHT NEXT TO MY BROTHER, who was 19, and totally OMG at that moment. We probably both had big stupid grins, because he stayed there a bit, grinning, before jumping up and moving along.

We both remember who he was.

Here's a short one, but a good one, for those who never got to see him:



This was from 1992, but he and the band sound about the same.
