Sleepy LaBeef July 20, 2010 Hey Hey Bar & Grill Columbus, Ohio 75th Birthday Bash

I was fortunate enough to be invited to Sleepy's surprise 75th birthday bash at one of his favorite dive bars. A quick glance at the set list proves his moniker as the human juke box. He is slowing a bit here, and hands the microphone over a little more than he used to, but this guy can play guitar with the best of them. Now 80, he continues to tour, packing houses wherever he goes.

Sleepy LaBeef December 13, 1988 Hey Hey Bar and Grill Columbus, Ohio

I had no knowlege of Sleepy when a friend suggested we go to this show. Also a first was visisting the Hey Hey Bar and Grill, best know for its sauerkraut balls. Imagine my surprise when this massive, great big man walked out in a canary yellow leisure suite with a cowboy hat on. Unfortunatley, I didn't know he would end up playing for hours, so I only had one cassette tape with me. This recording represents the entire first set, ending with Dixie Rebel Saints, and a handfull of songs from the second set. I've seen Sleepy a couple times since then and will attend his shows any chance I get.
