John Popper's amazing. This guy sometimes doesn't breathe...I mean how can you explain 30 to 45 minute long harmonica jam sessions where he just keeps hitting it...seemingly without a pause. Definite intensity and passion that carries over into the music.

Another great thing about the Blues Traveller is that they don't turn down requests for an encore. One show I went to lasted 4 or more hours. Amazingly, it felt like only 30 minutes.
