Question for Blues fans in Chicago

dtemp · #1 05-08-2006, 09:32 PM

I am going to be in Chicago Memorial day weekend (friday the 26 to monday the 29). While I'm there I would like to hear some live blues. I hear Buddy Guy has a club there and I am a big fan of his. Has anyone ever been to his club? Do you reccommend it? Are there any other suggestions you might have? Thanks.

Im not from chicago, but I go there a lot to visit and always hit some blues hot spots. Legends (buddy guys place) is awesome, awseomse food, awesome music.

I worked near Chicago for a year and went to Buddy Guys four or five times. I would recommend it as I never left dissappointed.

Wait till June 8-11 and hit up blues fest! Nah I know you probably can't, but yeah I've heard Buddy guys is good, have never been though. Here's what seems to be a real usefull site Chicago Blues Links

Buddy Guy's Legends and Kingston Mines are the 2 best known clubs in Chicago. You can't go wrong with either one.

Refer to www.metromix.com for any chicago-related review/event you might need.

Kingston Mines and B.L.U.E.S. They are 2 blocks apart.

I dont even think there are many blues fans in St. Louis anymore.
