Frank Scott (audience) : I felt closer to the blues than I've ever been. Robert's voice is very exciting and his bottleneck guitar playing was stunning. He did several numbers including his hit The Moon Is Rising and several Elmore James numbers such as Anna Lee and I Held My Baby Last Night. What a fabulous evening - I had to be dragged out of the place!

Pinetop Perkins (musician) : Nobody else could play a slide like him.
