besides Jake, Elwood, Mack and Zee, did all of the other vocalists of the band wear the suits once they joined?

On the "Live in Montreux" video, Larry Thurston wears a grey double brested suit with a grey tie and a blue-green dress shirt (no hat or glasses) and Eddie Floyd wears a white double brested suit with a white dress shirt (no hat or glasses either) The current vocalist/harmonica player Rob "The Honeydripper" dresses up like Elwood during the shows. I would like to see the current BB lineup in concert as I'm very anxious about seeing if "The Honeydripper" is good, and the new bandmembers.

You need the video of the San Remo Festival!!!
It's Rob Paparozzi, Eddie Floyd and the rest of the Blues Brothers Band!
Rob and Eddie sing backing vocals and Rob plays the Harmonica!
I think Rob is just as good (IF NOT BETTER) that Dan! Nothing against Dan, but Rob sounds fantastic!
You can download it from here:

It's 14MB, but the song is GREAT! It's performed in Italian by Andrea Mingardi, and the harmonica is the highlight in my opinion!
Plus they have a full orchestra backing them!

BBCentral...Paparozzi playin?harp is really better than aykroyd...now,elwood can?t play harmonica (Listen to The Return to the Blues Brothers...too bad :S ) and here the TV posted the San Javier BBB concert; Paparozzi is reallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy gooooood!!!!!! Great harp player! He can do very bluesy melodies with the harmonica. He got 2 minutes of harp playin?at the middle/end of ShotGun Blues.Awesome!

You saw the San Javier concert on TV?! Did you record it?! Man, I'd give anything to see The Honeydripper on harmonica. I think it's good the BBB got a harmonica player, being without one for so long.

Tommy McDonnell was mainly a percussionist, but he also played the harp.

BBCENTRAL,I recorded the TV program,but the TV Channel doesn?t recorded the encores "Everybody needs somebody to love" and "Gimme Some Lovin?" . A messenger pal went to the concert and recorded the entire concert in mp3; he will pass me the concert,pics and two videos of the San Javier BBB gig.

The new musicians are...regular...Tropea did fast solos, I don?t like it very much because sounds like a hard-rocker than a bluesman,and the guy of the trombone can?t do (at least in this night) good solos.

I found funny how the TV program made mistakes all the time.For example, the following titles with () are the credits by the tv:

Green Onions (Green Orions), Peter Gunn (Peter Grun), SoulFinger (without credits), Goin?back to miami (Soul Finger), She Caught the Katy (Miami)...Too poor...Leon in the TV program was called "ANTHONY CLOUD" after Rob call him "C?mon Leon! Leon Pendarvis"... Sad,but true.

the last post was for HumanBiped... BBCENTRAL,sure that Pipes is percusionist, he can play congas (like in the HOB album) and yes,he play the harp too,but I found more awesome Rob that Pipes. Rob played the harp since he was a teenager... ( Like me! )

Oh, I really would like to see that concert! Hey ChAnOoD_bLuEs, send me an e-mail at [email protected] if you would like to arrange some sort of trade for a copy of the video. I really want to see Rob in action on the harmonica. He's dressed like Elwood, isn't he?

[ChAnOoD_bLuEs]

Sure he is dressed like elwood...

[bbcentral]

Have you got the video and mp3s of this gig yet?
I'd love to get a copy of it so I can add some clips to the website.
I know that HumanBiped is interested as well.
We appreciate any help you can give us on this.
