I saw John Mayall perform in St. Louis a couple years ago.  He's still pretty good.  Probably the one individual most responsible for bringing blues music to England which later influenced just about every genre of music.

Missed out on the concert the original poster mentioned.  They played with ZZ Top in San Antonio.  Real pissed I didn't make it. :(

From wiki:

A few notable names

    * Guitar: Eric Clapton, Roger Dean, Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Harvey Mandel, Jerry McGee, James Quill Smith, Walter Trout, Coco Montoya, Randy Resnick, Sonny Landreth, Buddy Whittington, Eric Stekel, Don McMinn

Genesis spawned a few or incorporated a few, however you look at it.

Ooooh.  SUPER call!  They are the first one I've seen here that can measure up to The Eagles' success.

Lindsay Buckingham - some good stuff.
Christy McVee - did some eh stuff.
Stevie Nicks - big time hits. 
Mick Fleetwood - acting was more his thing.
John McVee - parasite (living off the others)    ;)

Yep.  But if you saw in the link posted above, John McVee, Mick Fleetwood and Peter Green all came through John Mayall's Bluesbreakers.  These guys were the "original" Fleetwood Mac.

Ah, but did Bluesbreakers enjoy widespread commercial success like the Eagles or Mac?  That's part of the equation here. . .
