Mr. George Benson was so on top of the hits on the ‘80s, that he was part of a Rock Festival list, playing on two nights. That’s the Rock in Rio Festival, the very first one on January of 1985. He played on 01/12 (Saturday) and 01/14 (Monday). I was there and I remember that his concerts were like two big parties, where he called on stage to play with him Mr. Ivan Lin’s. The audience for both night were over 200,000 people. Just two unforgettable concerts for all those people, and so for himself, I believe.

If you haven't yet, go back to George's early days playing seriously cooking jazz. Look up the George Benson Cookbook and Big Boss Guitar albums (1964-ish, when he was like 21 years old). He always had a deep lyrical talent, but he was also one of the fastest guitar players on earth. An incredible, total talent. We are so lucky to have him.

I always remember when I a few years ago in Perth - Australia I met Stanley Banks early before the show on a random street and he was like “do you know who am I?”, I was like “of course, you’re one of my favourite bass player”, he was so happy because according to him some people think he looks like Mr. Benson, so he invited me for a glass of wine after the show and I ended up meting master Benson at the lobby, having a photo together, getting an autograph, a guitar pick and this amazing experience

Everything you can say is a little about the posibility of seeing both musicians together. 45 years following to Mr.Benson, 10 Mr. Miller. I'm lucky for seeing both performing live. I'd would like to watch subtitled that performing, to understand the Marcus's words. Bravo!
