This guy played up until about a month before he died. I saw him play the prince in Melbourne for the last time. He was obviously very ill. Cracked jokes about it. I don't think I'd ever be able to figure out how he did what he could with his guitar. Don't we all wish some champion like this guy was strong and exposing all the bastards tomorrow on this our world of perpetual sorrow? That he's not here is so much worse than a pop crime. RIP ROWLY.
This has great solid base and drums to lay the guitar work on, very impressive. I wish it was longer! This song seems to me to be a cousin of "Lucifer Sam", the bassline here is similar to the guitar on that song.
damn good call, i never would've heard barrett in this but now you mention it that's quite true. and rowland is quite the cool (and inexplicable) cat himself...
Ziggy era Bowie was considered outre & other worldly....RSH makes Bowie look like Brian McFadden....bought a Jaguar (err or a Mustang) cos of this fella, wish I could play it like him mind....
Love you Rowland! He was such a talented musician, and he inspired me to start to play guitar again.
“Just plug it in and play” he would say 🖤
He's like Prince up there! wicked guitar player.

I’d love to see RSW & George Carlin have a conversation while passing a blunt. 2 legends gone too soon sadly…
The "It´s -.all -falling -apart -but -somehow -it -works " vibe in this is intoxicating.
Toda la esencia Rowland, maestro.
@julesath his guitar kept him alive until the end...and he is still alive through his music...
R.I.P. ,GREAT MAN...

The version on the studio album is longer, and stretches out and occupies the space in your mind nicely.
The bass line is really something.
Great stuff from a true sonic gentleman.
Espetacular legenda
MISS HIM
