ショウ本編は基本的に音楽メインの構成となっていましたが、一部の出演者たちからは各々のガイにまつわるエピソードや、彼に対する感謝の言葉が聞かれました。ゲイリー・クラークJr.が「僕の部屋の壁にはバディ・ガイのポスターが貼ってあったんだ」と明かせば、その少し後にステージに登場したガイの長年の友人であるボビー・ラッシュは、ガイに向かって「俺をキミの人生に参加させてくれてありがとう。俺の人生の一部になってくれてありがとう。友よ、誕生日おめでとう」と語りかけました。そしてジョン・メイヤーはガイを「ヒーローであり、友人であり、師匠」と表現しました。

この夜の締めくくりは、キャスト全員による「Got My Mojo Working」のパフォーマンスで、演奏が終わるとキャンドルが並んだバースデイ・ケーキがワゴンに乗せられてステージに登場し、会場全体が「ハッピー・バースデイ」の大合唱に包まれました。

「今日は今までで一番盛大な誕生日のお祝いだ」とガイはコメントしました。「泣く気はないけど、今夜はみんなのおかげで本当に幸せな気分にさせてもらったよ」
