Best blues performance venue/event?

Duke Tumatoe at Captain Kirk’s at the Ft. Madison IA Marina, 2003. Every seat was empty because everyone in the place, possibly 300 total, were on their feet dancing and cheering. Even the cook came out of the kitchen to cheer him. THAT’s how you perform the Blues.
