It doesnt get much more perfect than this.. The best Hey Joe version ever - I really wished there was actually footage of him playing this exact performance - he was really on fire that evening.. R.I.P Roy - 23 years gone today - one of the all time greats.
2 muscos seen that left me in a trance for days .. floating .. wondering what the fk did i just experience genuis at work ... first was SRV and of corse ROY BUCHANAN .. even now they both full me with amazement , joy , tears and great feelings ... this version is unmatched ..
Nobody plays guitar like this genius. No one even comes close. Roy Buchanon, thank you Roy. You gave me a life time love for the blues. Rest in Peace master of the stratocaster. RIP
Indeed... There''s something about this version. IMHO it is the quintessential Hey Joe...Roy or otherwise. I always comeback to this one. There's just something about it, dark and sinister sounding. The way it builds to a fiery climax really resonates. Roy was at his peak here.
Jack Hampton the way I see it is this performance is played from Joes point of view after he’s killed his wife, and this version is how he “hears” his story while on the run, with the heavily fuzzed portion in the beginning taking place right when he shoots her
After weeks of thought, I think I'm somewhere near understanding the greatness of this. It's the silence. It's the fact he plays for less than 50% of the length of the song. It's that confidence. Astonishing.
Thats why Jimi Hendrix, Walter Trout, Mark Knopfler and so on, all learned from him. He is the underestimated Master, who invented in the 50's to manipulate the guitar with electronic devices. Like the wah wah phaser.😊 But over that.....he had control over the Strings
What a fuckin' awesome preformance!! Heared this in swiss national radiostation this morning. Best song to hang loose on a foggy autumn sunday morning!
Roy was unknown to the mainstream and it made him all that much better than had he been wildly famous. Stevie Ray Vaughn was awesome to see in his early days too, yet seemed to slip after gaining fame. Roy always put on an incredibly great show. It was worth way more than the price of admission every time. No one has command over an instrument like Roy!
Fear not music lovers! I am here to ease your mind after you saw that this has very little views! I will not stop until I've listened to this at least 10000 more times.
I won't try to compare which version is better. The point is each artist that has done it has there own just enjoy which ever version is able to take you wherever you feel it should take you.
Jimi Hendrix's version is great. But Roy takes it to another level. Hes just all over the place. Sometimes its soft, subtle, and beautiful and at other times he's just explosive, powerful, and blowing your mind. Some of the greatest guitarists like Jeff Beck, Robbie Robertson (from the Band),, and Eric Clapton praised him. Hell, Mick Jagger, John Lennon and Paul all tried to recruit him. Pretty much he was a god on the guitar.
No shit? I only know that Dir Paul tried to recruit this guy for Wings. Unsuccessfully. Roy , at the time, thought that he would break out on his own. Unfortunately that didn't happen. It's too bad. He should have been known by everyone. Rory was another that was supposed to rule the world. Angels on one shoulder and Demon on the other.
Greatest Guitar Wizard that ever lived. Roy Buchanan had abilities no one else could even dream of. His wizardry was endless. Rest in Heaven Roy. You will live FOREVER
You should check out Danny Gatton, he and Roy were roommates at one time. Danny amongst the musicians was known as the greatest guitar player you never heard of.
I have been a fan of this tele master for ever the first album I bought was an 8 track tape yep i'm that old IT WAS called " loading zone" . I NEVER changed my mind he has been my hero ever since , I own many of his old cassettes and cd's which I will cherish till I die ! YOU can't get closer to music perfection than ROY BUCHANAN COULD WITH A 53 OLD TELECASTER SIMPLY UNBELIEVABLE FEEL !
Saw Roy in 1975 . My friend was Hofstra College's reporter . He interviewed him before the concert . I was in the corner listening . A quiet man with an amazing talent .
Jimi and Roy jammed. Theres a clip on youtube. Jimi definitely knew who Roy was. Im a massive Jimi fan more so than Roy. But you cannot deny this is sooooo much better than any version of Hey Joe Jimi played. I have alot of them, what Roy did to Hey Joe is like what Jimi did to All Along the Watchtower. He made it his own.
Greatest guitarist 🎸 in my opinion that ever lived. He is captivating. I could listen to him play for hours upon hours and not get enough of his genius
Roy dedicated his life to his music.I love watching him play, check out his livestock lp or his first lp on polydor.I think Roy was a total lone wolf no one was ever able to market him to the masses and after a few years they pretty much gave up one the idea.Roy never wore fluffy shirts or dressed wildly,very humble acting on stage He makes me sad and happy and raises the hairs on my arms,I feal his energy even though he is gone his music will be enjoyed for a long time to come.Thank You
Just because Jimi was an icon guitarist doesn’t make him the owner of this song? He made it his own just as Roy did but the comments are suggesting that this is a Hendrix song but he didn’t write it, I have much respect for Jimi being left handed he was a master but when you finally understand that he strung his guitar the correct way for a upside down guitar you understand he wasn’t much different from true left handed guitarist like Otis Rush and Albert king, so all in all Roy B made this song his own and it’s not a Jimi song and knowing what I didn’t know Growing up Roy could humiliate anyone but he wasn’t that way and that’s why he’s the best he did what he did because he knew how the fuck to do it, I was in the left hand sympathy boat because I believed Jimi had to play upside down and being left handed I was mind blown Jimi is still unbelievable but once you honestly give Roy Buchanan a chance you understand how epic the man was and will always be
Jimi Hendrix was a good Guitar Player, but Roy Buchanan was Great. Roy was so much better than Jimi was or would have ever become. Jimi has just been elevated by the media and those that prospered ( financially ) in saying he is number one, ( TOTAL B.S. )... Jimi's estate was only worth about $20,000 to $ 25K at his death in 1970, today it is around $185,000,000..... That is 185 million dollars. Pete Townshend, the Lead Guitarist, a song writer and one of the singers of the Group - "The WHO" is only worth $150million and he-they had far more HIT Songs than Jimi ever did. This tells you why they ( Jimi's Estate ) and many others keep pushing to keep Jimi as the greatest, MONEY- MONEY-MONEY...
@josephhall1241 Uummm. Nope. That's incorrect. Ask ANYONE. Jimi was a fucking alien. Nobody can do what he did. Anyone can watch his shit and puke it back. There are 12 year old kids that watch his shit and play it back. Nope. There was only one.
Andres, thanks for having shared this! My first taste of Roy Buchanan was ‘Second Album’ back in early mid-seventies. It blew me away… but I didn’t keep up with his music. My loss! Lately as I have been revisiting the blues I rediscovered him. It would have been great to have seen him live. Wow! My take on what you referred to as "Shenandoah" at the end resonates like an "Amazing Grace" improvisation… RIP Roy
Roy has stated that this record was the best thing that he’s ever done, and it’s hard to argue. Too bad this was only released in Japan, I can only find 4 of the 8 songs here on UA-cam. In my opinion Roy came across best live, as did a lot of guitarists and bands of that time. Towards the end when he goes into that rendition of Shenandoah I get goosebumps and chills every single time, puts me in a headspace that I can’t quite describe other than spiritual. There was always a sense of longing and melancholy in Roy’s playing that I really identify with, especially his more melodic instrumental playing. One of my main influences as a guitarist.
Слушая Роя Бьюкенена, поймал себя на мысли, что никогда не считал главным, технические достоинства его игры. А что же тогда? Душа! Его блюз всегда был наполнен душой, он дышит. Его "телекастер" не борется с собственным эго, ему это просто не надо. Гениально...
Live In Japan (1978) был записан во время гастролей Бьюкенена в Японии, в 1977г. Украшением этого концертного альбома стало исполнение бессмертной Hey Joe ( c Foxy Lady в качестве коды)...
RB : King of Blues as Albert Collins, Albert Freddy BB King, SRV, great Jimi, Eric Clapton, Otis Rush, Buddy Guy and so many other ones... Thanks a lot for share Moody !
Wy do you cats always have to compare artists? Music is not a competition! Lighten up!! Each interpretation of a song is a personal experience and expression by the performer. Enjoy it for what is is and shut up! If you want a contest go watch American Idol!
Exactly. But most people who listen and even play are naive. They feel pressured to say someone is best etc. They lack the creativity and critical thinking skills to understand that nothing or nobody is best and that things just are what what they are and enjoy them for what they are.
@@demeneye I do understand that NO "ONE" Guitarist can ever be referred to as the all-time greatest as there were and still are many Great Guitarist! What I don't like or agree with is the Media's ( Written- Books, Magazine's, Online ), Movie's ( 14 Documentaries, 10 Concert Film's and & Music performances in other Films ) all PUSHING to say that Jimi Hendrix was the best, is the best and always will be the best. Total B.S.
His singing is perfect for this blues piano flavoured accent to his voice until his guitar comes a crying n a swelling into the blues/bach tune that this is.
all feel and no pretense.. all raw emotion.. never wavered from being himself. while others hired songwriters and changed their style for radio. Not Roy
No this is just a picture I found online. There is a live in Japan album though, you could check the cover there - and I'm pretty sure there is also live footage of another Hey Joe cover on youtube. Cheers
It doesnt get much more perfect than this.. The best Hey Joe version ever - I really wished there was actually footage of him playing this exact performance - he was really on fire that evening.. R.I.P Roy - 23 years gone today - one of the all time greats.
And still one of the greatest of them all ....
That would take away the focus of the greatness...

Roy Buchanon, thank you Roy. You gave me a life time love for the blues. Rest in Peace master of the stratocaster. RIP
Master of telecaster but yeah he was really amazing and no one could play like him!! 👍
The best live guitar version ever - period.
Indeed... There''s something about this version. IMHO it is the quintessential Hey Joe...Roy or otherwise. I always comeback to this one. There's just something about it, dark and sinister sounding. The way it builds to a fiery climax really resonates. Roy was at his peak here.

Straight upppp
Better than everything. Lucky Japan.
Agreed.
After weeks of thought, I think I'm somewhere near understanding the greatness of this. It's the silence. It's the fact he plays for less than 50% of the length of the song. It's that confidence.
Astonishing.
the greatest guitarplayer in rock history best of the best masterclass the MAN who said NO to rolling stones rip roy miss you
Love the way he makes his guitar cry while singin' "Yeah, I shot her"
Thats why Jimi Hendrix, Walter Trout, Mark Knopfler and so on, all learned from him. He is the underestimated Master, who invented in the 50's to manipulate the guitar with electronic devices. Like the wah wah phaser.😊
But over that.....he had control over the Strings
Wow. I feel ashamed for not having heard of this man before. He was a Grandmaster of the guitar.
What a fuckin' awesome preformance!! Heared this in swiss national radiostation this morning. Best song to hang loose on a foggy autumn sunday morning!
Roy was unknown to the mainstream and it made him all that much better than had he been wildly famous. Stevie Ray Vaughn was awesome to see in his early days too, yet seemed to slip after gaining fame. Roy always put on an incredibly great show. It was worth way more than the price of admission every time. No one has command over an instrument like Roy!
I love the slow burn, the bursts and finally the explosion.
Fear not music lovers! I am here to ease your mind after you saw that this has very little views! I will not stop until I've listened to this at least 10000 more times.
Greatest guitar player ,the world has never known!!!
I won't try to compare which version is better. The point is each artist that has done it has there own just enjoy which ever version is able to take you wherever you feel it should take you.
One of the greatest that ever did it! Really knew how to make that thing speak to the soul. Rest in Peace Roy.
Jimi Hendrix's version is great. But Roy takes it to another level. Hes just all over the place.

Exact, il était au dessus du lot, c'est une évidence.
Sur cet Everest Guitare, ils sont 3, pour 3 raisons différentes. Roy, Jimi, Stevie Ray.
No shit? I only know that Dir Paul tried to recruit this guy for Wings. Unsuccessfully. Roy , at the time, thought that he would break out on his own. Unfortunately that didn't happen. It's too bad. He should have been known by everyone. Rory was another that was supposed to rule the world. Angels on one shoulder and Demon on the other.
Greatest Guitar Wizard that ever lived. Roy Buchanan had abilities no one else could even dream of. His wizardry was endless. Rest in Heaven Roy. You will live FOREVER
Fuck me!... thats the best 10 mins I've spent in years!!!
The first 44 seconds alone are epic.
JUST THE BEST COVER EVER MADE!!!!!!!
This guys interpretation and delivery of blues is the is the best I've ever heard and one of my favourite Jimi songs. Live on legends
You should check out Danny Gatton, he and Roy were roommates at one time. Danny amongst the musicians was known as the greatest guitar player you never heard of.
no one touches 0:44 to 1:00 This is true guitar
It had me almost in tears Very good not just speedballing but feelings too
Also my favorite Hey Joe. What a soulful talent.
I have been a fan of this tele master for ever the first album I bought was an 8 track tape yep i'm that old IT WAS called " loading zone" . I NEVER changed my mind he has been my hero ever since , I own many of his old cassettes and cd's which I will cherish till I die !

Roy never met Jimi in person
Too bad
Both liked to discuss guitars.
Roy did have a roommate.....Danny Gatton
No they never met. Roy was a roommate of Danny Gatton
@@michaeladrian2210 Jimi touted Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top as a guitarist to watch. ZZ Top opened for Jimi for awhile.
SYMPLY THE BEST COVER EVER!!!!
The most soulful and subtle...
Fukn fantastic ... roy you ARE the master .... heavenly emotionly beautiful ... man we miss you ...
you wrote the truth ! everythings were done by that time , rock , hard rock ,
jazz , blues , even the rap ...! the show must go on !
The king of the volume swells, Jeff Beck paid homage to Roy, with the song Because We Ended As Lovers.
my favorite of all time yes Roy Buchanan
This pianoversion is the best Ive ever heard!
Masterpiece💞and he taught them all
4:50 till 5:20 this is pure ecstasy for me
2:10 till 2:15 is for me.
Greatest guitarist 🎸 in my opinion that ever lived. He is captivating. I could listen to him play for hours upon hours and not get enough of his genius
He was Amazing and the band played so tight 👍
Haunting. A master class in every sound you can get out of a guitar. And some that you can’t.
Roy dedicated his life to his music.I love watching him play, check out his livestock lp or his first lp on polydor.I think Roy was a total lone wolf no one was ever able to market him to the masses and after a few years they pretty much gave up one the idea.Roy never wore fluffy shirts or dressed wildly,very humble acting on stage He makes me sad and happy and raises the hairs on my arms,I feal his energy even though he is gone his music will be enjoyed for a long time to come.Thank You

This is awesome, in the true meaning of the world. I'm dumbfounded.
If there hadn't been Roy this version wouldn't have existed!
GREAT GUITAR PLAYER WOW !!!!!!OLD SCHOOL !!!!!!I MISS THOSE DAY'S FRANKIE BONES NY!!!!!👍🏼
Without a doubt, he nailed it 👌👌👌
I love this version!!!!

Too cool for School
(o; the reason he sounds like so many other guitarist he taught them how to play ;o)

Joe Bonamassa: # Hey Joe where ya goin with that guitar in your hand...?
Would love to see JB do this cover.
Tim Rose rest in peace...
I have to say i think all his best was done before 1980. No disrespect or animosity to anyone, I just go on what I heard.
yep...
omg 10 seconds from 0:43 to 0:53 are enough to ravish me
His singing is perfect for this blues piano flavoured accent to his voice until his guitar comes a crying n a swelling into the blues/bach tune that this is.
all feel and no pretense.. all raw emotion.. never wavered from being himself. while others hired songwriters and changed their style for radio. Not Roy
@constantine412 Definitely, my personal experience says :" it's the best hey joe cover ever made".
Sounds like ....When making love with a Telecaster,after that the guitar had a smoke for sure!
Thank you Roy for the legacy,thank you!
this song is on video, caught live it is listed under,live from austin texas!!!
Different version. The Austin version is different, remarkably different!
@@jamestrow totally different versions ...
Easy living.
@constantine412 Amen!
Did he use that guitar? Is this a photo from that actual live performance?
No this is just a picture I found online. There is a live in Japan album though, you could check the cover there - and I'm pretty sure there is also live footage of another Hey Joe cover on youtube. Cheers
ride on,con...412.
Just to say...SUBLINE!
What can a man say?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FNA!
Live? He looks like a statue to me.
I didn't know Fidel Castro could play guitar!
LOL, it's a very good cover.
