95-year old blues legend Pinetop Perkins laying it down at Dakota Jazz Club & Restaurant in Minneapolis on June 9, 2009. Pinetop turns 96 on July 7th and will celebrate as he does every year playing piano and singing at Antone's in Austin, TX, where he lives. It was truly a joy to get to see Pinetop again. He has still got it!
The angle here isn't so great, Pinetop is at the piano in the dark foreground. For a better video from the same concert in which you see much more of Pinetop, see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12dRZRWvSDg
Good write-up from the previous night's show:
