What a phenomenal talent Roy was. I once read long ago that to watch Roy's fingers on the fretboard was akin to watching spiders dancing on a hot plate (words to that effect). The man was amazing. RIP Roy.
the live version on sweet dreams gives me chills every time i hear it. i remember the first day i picked up that cd, smoked myself a wacky cigarette, went straight to "down by the river" and forgot everything about life for a bit.
@Uggybow the poor lord of the telecaster did never deserve death in any manner bringnig and delivering his very telecaster and his soul music to many souls around.very sad story.Best soul blues i will ever hear.
OMG! Was BS's with a co-worker about Roy and dug this ol' tune up. Took me right back to the late 70's when Roy played at the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center. I can still smell it! Thanks for the great memories!!
Uploader I praise you, 1974 in NY is the ultimate version, but this does me in, I’m a guitar guy, it’s so satisfying to see Roy destroy this song so late in his career and I thank you, if you wanna lead guitar, you start here
He was beaten to death for public drunkness. Or did the inmates beat him to death - I doubt it. However when he was found with a sweater around his neck his face was clearly beaten- makes sense to you? Poor Roy, what a soul...
Roy plays in techniques all unique to himself. One of a kind . If someone plays like him ......well I don't know, Roy is such a master of his own techniques that he is one of he greatest in the world. And what I like the most is Roy just plays.....nothing wrong with dancing with ur guitar and jump in around . Roy lets the music do the talking and his soul just pours out of him thru that guitar. R.I.P. Roy we love Ya.
Roy Buchanan died under some very suspicious circumstances...the cable/satellite muzik channels as well as the recording industry works very hard at white-washing the story of what happened.
Better than "storage wars". This must be herd by the animals...wtf happened here ? Jam this all this and a bag. Of chips........shut this world down...over some fkn Chips fkn Roy. Very tuff
@saginawpaw who cares, good music, enjoy it, let other people put words and genres and blah blah on it, in the end, its just notes in the air, cant contain it even if we think we can.
the story was, he had a long running feud with a sheriff in arkansas. he got picked up for drunk driving and was taken to jail. while there he hung himself in the drunk tank. his wife said Roy had stopped drinking quite awhile before that night. thats the story i got
ein bisschen viel Rückkopplung, sonst solide Leistung für ein Cover eines meiner favorisierten Neil Young Songs...also Gitarre spielen kann der Typ! Songtext ausgenommen, wer erschiesst schon sein eigenes Baby am Ufer?
listen to this and you'll understand why Jeff Beck admired Roy so much. This man was a tortured soul who had profound genius....
Roy Buchanan's guitar is like a religious experience; and Carey Zeigler's vocals superb. Great drummer too.
Greatest 🎸 Master of ALL TIME
The man was SO before his time and underrated
Roy can make his guitars cry one of the best

Great NEIL YOUNG !!!!

You should see John Entwistle (rip) play Boris the Spider on his bass....talk about dancing spiders,,,,ahaha
Roy still lives.

The Great Roy Buchanan....RIP
Best version of this marvelous song, first learned of it from Roy. Thanks Roy.
Zeigler vocals are unreal!!!!
After the one by Buddy Miles, Buchanan did this extraordinary version. God bless him wherever he may be
Fell in love with this song
tons of talent on that stage. whoever gives a thumbs down is uninformed.

I was there, too! Remember the PA system was quadrophonic. They had a lot of cops there... guess they expected a riot or something.

On bass and vocals is Carey Zeigler
Live at Joseph's Foodliner!!!! San Antonio, Texas. : )
The world is a dangerous place. Ever Vigilant is a good motto. Great Player..
Magnificent
What about the vocals?? Seen them many times in person!! Unreal!!!!
Love the live 'Anthology' album version,but this is also top drawer.Any more of this show? Thanks.

Very Good Point.
This is NOT a glam rock band in sparkley spandex, lol!
This is virtuoso playing.
Gooooood
Wooh, who Is that guy singing?? Love his voice, but who anyone?
Lavonia Gansworth He's Carey Ziegler from Crack the Sky. I actually just asked this question myself.
Is that Vince Santoro on drums? Whoever it is, he really holds his own next to Roy Buchanan and Carey Ziegler!
Great, great stuff. The definitive version he did of this is on the "Sweet Dreams" anthology but this is pretty boss, too. Thanks for posting.
jeeeezus
This bass player and vocalis reminds me Dan Macferty from Nazareth.Very good!

Neil !!!!!!
I've heard Roy before, but well...... That's just gob-smacking. Could you please tell me which concert is this from?

Dean Williams Don't forget Duane man.
@@fu6223 naw you can exclude peter, once he became a acid casualty and was a shadow of his former self he doesnt count

This was tamed compared to the live in Japan version

Unbelievable, what a force of nature he was. He playing a Tele with a Jackson neck??
Epiphone made an Epi-Tele on and off for a few years. Model 210 I think. It could be one of those, but yeah, I am curious too.
Think it's a guild t250

He died in the Fairfax County, Virginia Jail.
You got it all wrong, some of what you said may have happened, but Roy was arrested in Washington, D.C. taken to DC jail and died!
pretty boring until 5:30 and then suddenly it was like Holy Shit. Rory Buchanan is in the house!
Steve Gadd on drum ??
No
