I just found this! I and a friend were at this show. We waited around to meet him after the show (just us, and a couple). They got autographs and left. This club had a firm policy of the bar closed at the last note; Danny was out of cigarettes and I had plenty, so he said "Let's go get some beers". I told him about the bar policy and he said "Its not closed for us!" So the three of us sat at the bar about 45 minutes, talked guitars (he told me the story of the copper-penny painted Tele in this video, funny story) Nicest, funniest, and most humble person you'll ever meet. It was like talking with an old friend.And then a year later.... He is missed.
RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME - PERFECT EVENING.
Wow - what a great moment that was, and nice memory for you - he was amazing!
thanks
Great story, I was at this show too, he played Graffiti another time, any idea what date/ glad I got to see him twice before he passed, today is his 75th birthday.---RIP---
@@ggsginc Thanx! I wasn't aware he played there another time!
@@scottstetzer I'll look it up when I get a chance. i think it was 1991.
danny is brilliant but billy on sax is unreal also
bILL h DOES rock out on piano , sax, and trumpet......N.Tx State grad I believe
Billy is really Great Sax Keys vocals this was the best line up IMHO
Go Directly to 12:17.... if you please or remain unconvinced...Super footage and LIVE sound of the band on a super hot night and Danny.... Danny....This stuff is waaaay better than the Live in 1994 disc, waaay better than the Toronto show I caught right around this time, w/ D. G. getting a beautiful Tele sound (not so ear shredding on the treble side)... there are very few musicians who can play this many notes all the time and make you believe.The all too poignant story of the striving and attainment of artistic excellence unfortunately born out amidst the Western World's clear choice between the aforementioned humanity bar raisers and idols of all sorts, most of which put different sized balls or objects into different sized holes etc. etc.
My brother was his drummer for 18 years.
So glad to hear from you - something to be proud of - most important man in da band - he kept da beat n da rest of them had to jump to it. Danny was lucky to have da best in da business n that's saying a lot - a tight band. I hope you kept notes over da years on your brothers adventures with Danny. Surprise me.
They were the best that’s ever been! That’s awesome!
Danny was never going to be a superstar. He walked on stage like he'd come to fix your roof. But he blew all the spandex leotard big hair million notes a second bullshit shredderd off the stage. There's something wrong when lesser more famous guitarists come to these shitty little clubs to marvel at Danny then go home to their mansions
Thank you for this, Sasha. The Humbler? Oh, yes! He thought that was funny, but it actually embarrassed him. But as anyone who spent time with Danny can tell you, he was a truly humble man who put everyone around him at ease. With his otherworldly talent, that also was a genuine talent in and of itself. He is missed by so very many people, and will never be forgotten....
This fuckin' unbelievable. It's like you travel back in time to an Rock n Roll concert in the 50s.
Just when you think you've hit the limit another video comes along. My god this band is just incredible, Danny really cooks when he's playing with top players. Thanks for the upload.
Just saving the good stuff for last.
Who ever is responsible for the sound on this (always worth a look) Danny Gatton band got the best "Right There" live sound I think I've ever heard on You-Tube.
that would be Sasha Koliden de recorda of Rock n roll history!
This guitar playing of DG is unbelievable...
Just wow! The band was spot on. The energy is palpable. I don't know that I've ever heard Mustang Sally taken that far out and so effortlessly fluid.
WELL DEFINED - THE WHOLE BAND IS AMAZING - THANK YOU.
Top top top band. Bills a blinding musician, with Danny and the guys, bands really dont get much hotter. Fantastic, more please!!!
This is probably the closest I'll ever get to seeing Danny live, considering I lived near Pittsburgh at the time but didn't turn 2 years old yet.
Gatton may have been the best natural born guitarist on the planet...but he would rather work on his vintage cars.
More proof that Gatton was one of the greatest to ever strap on a guitar.
Sax man is a beast too!
This was 2 weeks before Danny came to Vermont and played on a ferry boat, and I got the chance to meet him: I didn't realize at the time that Roy Buchanan wasn't his favorite topic of discussion, but he was polite and realized I was a fan.
Thank you for sharing. Danny is always worth watching, Always... He called me Baby Brother once at Giant Sound Ctr in Falls Church, (my oldest brother worked there) He would rock up the store when he tired out a new guitar or amp. He played effortlessly, and to perfection.
Yes, He played his guitar like we carry on a conversation
They were inseparable. That was his Baby Doll.
Just beautiful work filming this....
The music is the best, which is nothing less than Danny would perform....a true master....along with the band....
I remember this show. This was the second time Danny played in Pittsburgh. The first time was in 1991 and what an incredible show that was! Every show was an Awesome experience. Thanks for sharing this footage.
Boy those regional band's that Gatton had were sooo good.
This is great footage... much appreciated! Would love to see more if available... Danny truly was 'The Humbler' and in the words of Guitar Player magazine... 'the worlds greatest unknown guitarist'... if not the overall greatest ever, even though I don't really believe in those labels. He was certainly way up high in that subjective list. Again... thank you!
A Shame only a few of us were Aware of his deep music roots -
Unleashed Fusion. If you watch closely, even the band members were reading each other, unaware of how to blend in - like where do we come in - what's he playing - he had em guessing. What a combine! Out of this world.
Like on "Mustang Sally" ride on Danny, ride on.
True... Danny would switch gears mid song/solo on the spot, and always brilliantly. He kept the band on it's toes for sure. I've never heard a more killin' version of Mustang Sally... I don't even like that song, but thanks to Danny (and I believe it's Bill Holloman) this version was absolutely smokin'!
Very true of what you said - I did not even want to list it as one of the tunes
but like wow, Danny sure knows how to put icing on the cake - He is the Master at improvising, without losing the originality of the song.
You have to study n reflect on every lick n trick n he's got plenty of fire power.
Indeed. I first heard of him from Guitar Player magazine, and then I bought 'Unfinished Business'. I was instantly floored by his depth, taste, and chops. I own all his recorded music, instructional videos, and I have countless audio and video bootlegs. As I said in my first comment, I don't believe in those 'best' labels... but I would consider Danny Gatton to be WAY up high on the list. It DOESN'T get any better... only different. I only wish I got to see him play before his tragic death.
I found out as a videographer that what comes around; sometimes does not come back again - it's a once in a lifetime shot, n it's gone forever.
You have a good perception of what's real out there. The truth is, deep down, Danny knew how good he was n could not understand, why no one (big labels) was buying it. It hurts!
I don't have the words to express this great set, but it is masterful!
Thanks very much for posting
much appreciated.
I don't I'll be needing to listen to Robben Ford any time soon.
Shasha.......have you seen my FB page? Danny Gatton Tribute Page. There is also a documentary in the works. The Humbler. Do you have anymore recordings?
A few - buried in da crypt.
Bill Holloman used to play sax in New England's best band back in the 1980s, The B. Willie Smith Band. On his website for whatever reason he doesn't acknowledge the band. Their guitarist, Steve Baldino, was the only guitarist I've ever seen that could be compared to the great Danny Gatton. Two masters of the guitar.
Late to the party, but this one was recorded 7 days later. ua-cam.com/video/hn7uCDrWA2U/v-deo.html
That lick at 6:25 was just insane!?
I was 23 at this show! Only time I ever saw Danny play this particular tele, It of course has Joe Barden pickups in it! I took a friend that never heard of Danny, halfway through this Mustang Sally solo his mouth was hanging open! LOL!
It's his usual frost-gold signature tele autographed by James Burton.......
Gatton and the boys tearing it up !
If I was walking outside and heard this I'd crawl through the sewage pipe to get inside!! That's if they'd sold all the tickets of course...I mean ..if they hadn't, I'd get a ticket and go through the door. How can you even quantify how good this is?
Unbelievable killer Danny the man
Great post Sasha..Well rcorded and filmed..Look forward to more
HAND HELD - up close - Auxiliary mic - not easy to fight da crowd n keep away from da noise - vocals could be better - anyway it's unmixed n unedited - live n direct, in it's raw form - Thanks to Danny, what a great man -
UNSURPASSED TALENT! I appreciate your feedback. Will oblige. Enjoy
Danny was just other worldly...he was the very definition of a person having a gift from God....when he died I always felt so bad for his wife and daughter...I have a good friend who committed suicide and it just devastated his family....his kids are still mourning him...it just leaves so many unanswered questions in the minds and spirits of the loved ones....we all sure miss your genius Danny......😏😏😏
After the show I spoke with him n was surprised to hear him - just the 2 of us downstairs in the dressing room - complain about how unhappy he was about his road tour - that he had put out 15 g's n n was broke. little did I know that he was dead serious. I am still devastated. MAY YOUR SOUL Rest In Peace
@@sashakoledin4673 Danny was fighting alot of demons..and I'm sure finances was apart of that whole deal that was driving his depression....and I think he was frustrated with his career... because he refused to be pigeon holed it left him on the fringes...and that whole thing was just sad as well.... Danny should have had a record contract and should have never had to worry about money....
@@jimmyrecce8787 depression is a nasty n sneaky monster - yet that night while we were talking he was sitting there playing his guitar - real laid back n easy going - soft spoken. I'm still in shock.
I missed this show because i had moved from Western pa to the east but love the video. Gatton is another amazing musician who left us too soon. Thanks for sharing this awesome footage.
Thanks Mark - One highly likable personality as a refined musician n human being - Awesome just talking with him.
Hi Sasha many thanks for this upload its fantastic to see is there more of this show that can be seen its wonderful many thanks
Thanks for the positive note - Maybe in the future I will release more.
Not interested at this time.
Gatton GENIUS
I feel a sudden urge to buy a 50s Tele, I wonder why?
Hi Sasha....so you're a Danny fan, huh?
From da top of my head to da bottom of my feet - A true Legend before n after the cause. All he cared about was pleasing his fans.
ALL DA WAY - HE WAS TOPS.
The whole band is amazing...and they know when to shut up and play nothing. That's important.
The sax guy blows DG off the stage
👏😜✌💫✨😁👻
I was at this show-- Don't get any better! Miss Danny! Miss Graffiti!
I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO CAPTURE HIS GREATNESS- A GREAT LOSS.
Those cats were jumpin’.
ONE KNOCK ME OUT BAND.
Would love to see the rest of this concert!
Wow! @ 07:09 Mustang Sally and phrasing used By Gatton is superb! He even twists the riff from 'Day Tripper' of the Beatles into Mustang Sally and works it.
I would love just 1% of his skill and talent. I would be an awesome guitarist !
He even throws in some On Broadway also
If I had just 1% of Danny's skill and talent, I would be the world's greatest guitarist. Every now and then, a new 'virtuoso-to-end-all-virtuosi' comes along and blows me away, but then I'll watch a Gatton clip and go "Nah!" Danny was and always will be untouchable.
He was one of the best! Back in the day I had every album he made and I'm sure I still have them. He could really put on a show!
MAGIC IN HIS MUSIC,
Best video out there for tone. His tele sounds amazing on this video. Love it
Much gratitude - most important aspect of filming is da Sound.
That's why Sony adds a little hole (mini stereo plug) on the side of da camcorder. That's how to get that stage tone, where da drums sound
like drums. Very hard to get the real sound n tone through the board.
Danny was one of a kind human being - He just wanted to play his guitar n his fans came first - too bad he got caught up in that corporate racket, where they want your Soul.
Nice to hear the middle position of a Tele for a change. Quite a different sound than either a Strat or Les Paul.
Takes a good ear - You got.
I hate to admit it, but I've been playing Teles since 1971. I heard about Roy Buchanan and Danny Gatton before I even knew who they were, from Toronto guitar players like Robbie Robertson and the great Dominic Troiano. In those days, it was very uncool to own a Tele, unless you replaced the neck pickup with a Gibson humbucker. If you can, find the music video of Taj Mahal playing 'Bacon Fat' with the fantastic Tele neck pickup through a Lesley tone cabinet by Indian Ed Davis.
I know the tune by Andre Williams - thanx for the turn on
will check it out
Saw him on consecutive nights (Bos/Prov) around this time. The net wasn’t really prevalent yet, so I only knew him by word-of-mouth and what I’d read…neither of which prepared me for what I witnessed. I worked at the Boston club, and there were a few of us hanging around who got to check out the afternoon soundcheck, had a nice conversation with him afterwards. On both occasions he was opening for the Radiators, these are among my favorite shows ever.
A few months (years?) later, the Thursday insert in the Boston Globe reviewed “The Humbler” and included an 800 number to buy it. I called and a woman answers the phone with kind of a gruff “Hello”. Immediately I’m “oh I’m sorry I think I must have the wro…”, but she interrupted me… “you looking for the Danny Gatton album?” Me: “yeah, but…” Her: “Let me grab a pen”.
It was Danny’s mom Norma, we too ended up having a nice talk. Moral: Sometimes you get a really kick-ass album if you just call a dude’s mom and ask nicely! 😉
happy birthday to ME! wowee zoweee Thanx Sasha !!!! genius recorder
LET IT BE MERRY N BRIGHT - TO YOUR HEARTS DELIGHT.

Sax player can really sing too.
Wow! absolute mastery, thanks for the post!
I must say - Happy to be there n share this awesome concert.
What a band - love em all.
What a great band, the sax player is outstanding, keyboards Vocals what a talent he is. If Danny could sing he could've ruled the world.
Killin'
:)
My first exposure to him was the last (I think) show of the Robert Gordon tour in Boston.
I was maybe 12 feet from the stage. I stared at his '53 sitting on a guitar stand for the half hour before the show thinking "This might be good."
A life-changing experience is the best way I can describe it.
The keyboard, sax player is also a good singer. His intonation is excellent.
Who is the sax player / singer in this video? Danny is his usual brilliant self, but who is the singer / sax man? What talent! What a band! Unbelievable!
Bill Holliman.
That's what makes Danny stand out, a group that clicks together.
Came for Danny, but stayed for Shannon. Phew!
His left hand was like a glove stuck to the guitar..... It was part of his guitar when he bought it, fender hand!... What a genius!
Wow, there's the proof - Gatton was a master!
Paul Stafford Cook good to see ya here. This particular set was filmed in my hometown 5 years before i was born
Does anybody Know Billy the sax players full name This guy is unbelievable
Holy Cow, Loved Graffiti. 👏👏👏👏👏👏💦👏
Amazing... Gatton was God... make no mistake... and this band was incredible
I"m surprised the walls and ceiling didn't collapse during Danny's solos! THE GREATEST!
Thanks for uploading this performance.
This sax guy is awsome and Gatton one of the greatest axe player.
Mr. Telecaster. Thank you.
Killer. What is the name of the first song?
Very good this songs,Danny and other guys's Band are so destroyers!
holloman blows gatton away, until 12:18
hot killer sax brought me in
I love seeing people do what they love and utilizing their craft. The guitar inspires me to express my self and sometimes it gives me closure. The thing that Danny did was allow himself to expand beyond the rules of what guitar players have unspokenly Sat and created something he can call his own. That's what great guitar players do, look at brad paisley...the way he adds notes were they don't belong and it has worked well. Let yourself go and become the next Danny gatton!
Tools to create - thanks for your contribution n dedication.
Danny was one of the first Telecaster players to use his guitar as a horn section. Listen to the incredibly accurate timing! He was a big influence on Toronto guitarists like Dominic Troiano.
Much obliged for your input - He was unique.
all of them incredible band!
a true talent gone to soon
Wow,I didn`t know this kind of quality video was out there.You must have time machine !
Thanks for the comment - these films are always worth more years later
Good gawd! What a band!
👏👏👏 genio Danny !!!
so badass
trills awesome
Danny's bassist looks like Dennis Raider the BTK killer.
John Previti - Upright Bass - P Bass
Tommy Two-shoes Ahahaha yup he does
Still the best !
Yes indeed - I agree.
Alan on Bass?
John Previti - Upright Bass - P Bass
Why the hell did Danny killed himself?
My speculation- the gift he bore was too heavy for a human being
@@jiricirtek8160 I read somewhere he was seriously ill...
When you strive to be better and better and the best, you never can get there to your own satisfaction. I'll bet what he heard in his head was infinite and impossible. Genius can be a blessing or a heavy heavy burden.
Friend and drummer Dave Elliott said that he thought Gatton had suffered from depression since they met more than twenty years earlier.
This is absolutely stunning!
Thanks - Da boys deserve it.
I am speechless!!
from a real fan - Enjoy.
