- Danny Gatton & Funhouse @ The Roxy - Wash DC 12-8-88
Another from the Beta-Max Masters Collection*
Here we have both of Danny's sets including the second where Tom Principato and Evan Johns come on to help.
*this is a 1st gen dub I made onto DVD awhile ago but also, unfortunately the DVD was made in the long play mode so quality suffered. Think I gave away my hi-res version as I can not locate it.
I did re-master the audio and made slight edits.

My dad introduced me to Danny Gatton when I was a little kid and I’ve been listening to him ever since. He’s arguably one of the greatest guitar players, if not the greatest guitar player who ever lived. Also, his saxophone player could fucking wail.
I can no longer go out in public anymore . Danny totally melted my face .
😂😂😂😂
Worlds greatest guitar player. Ever!
I've been playing for 45 years, and sometimes when I think "hey I'm pretty darn good", I listen to Danny and I think, "There's a shiny Maserati convertible flying down a sunny country road, and I'm a rusty Yugo, stuck in a muddy pot hole." Thanks for posting this!
I've been playing just as long , just can't get my head to even think that far outside the box.
I think we all do that when we hear Danny play.😉
@@chasphotography that or go home and smash our guitar..
@@paulf6784 nah I love a challenge. It just inspired me to keep exploring to find my own niche. Danny was a true anomaly and music is a competition it's an art. And Aretha Franklin wrote chain of fools using only one chord. Aretha and Danny are both greats but not at all similar to each other except for the fact they both were just themselves and exposed their SOUL to the world. No 2 souls are the same 🙏
Well Spoken, my friend! Well spoken!
I caught my guitar watching this video at 2am with fretboard oil and a soft rag.
Good one
I'm late to the party but wow, Danny was AWESOME!!! I should have listened to him years and years ago.
Danny truly was the Humbler, levels beyond anyone else that ever picked up a guitar. His death still makes me sad and angry.
Hi Mark. Thank you for posting this "hidden gem" I hadn't seen before of my all-time favourite guitarist Danny Gatton. I have a copy of the Elmira Street CD that Danny signed for me when I lived in the U.S. and a nicer more humble guy you couldn't meet. He took the time to sit with me for an hour or so and show me some of his playing up close and personal, and I'll never forget him. Greetings to you from Ireland.
Guitar genius aside, I love watching Danny lead this band here... he's on top of the drummer. Thanks for posting!
When Danny is not playing the most incredible lead lines he is busy playing the most unbelievable rhythm guitar you have ever heard .... I am speechless!
Sorry Mark - THANK YOU for posting this incredible footage!
@@twangbarfly qq I just got
Holy crap. I believe I was at this show. Danny was so special.
... a class of its own!
To the person that posted this: many, many thanks. I love you for it. DG is one of my absolute favorites.
Looks cool & composed, did they even break a sweat ? Always in awe watching & listening to anything Danny Gatton does the best !!!
Danny is the only guitarist who deserves to be put next to Django both are natural players and both can play anything that comes into their head no matter how complicated. A very rare gift
This is the man that Eric Clapton considered the world's best guitar player.
I think he's was great but you hear so many quotes like that don't think that's true 🙂
The Roy Buchanan really comes out on the blues tunes.
Wow! He alway's amazes me. I practice daily and been playing since childhood and he alway's seems to put me smiling again. Thank You for posting this video.
Thank you so very much for uploading. Lived in the DC area and was so lucky to see him all around town. Of course so many guitar players would be there, eyes bugging out, jaws dropping ... The Master of the Telecaster, the Humbler, the one and only Danny Gatton!
Danny is a master jedi!
" Telecaster?? ... completed it mate . " - Danny Gatton
Awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing the light...
Thank you for sharing this. I really enjoyed watching it. Danny was a musical gift from another world.
Magician of the Telecaster - thank you for sharing!
Did Fender make a Mastercaster especially for Danny? I heard that it was a limited production model and Fender made it for Danny because Les Paul considers Danny the best guitar player ever, and Danny played for his 80th birthday party. Does anyone know if that is true? What an accolade the man who invented the electric guitar considers you the best!!! It is so sad he had to end his career the way he did
@@kelleyfletcher1872 Thank you so much for share. The real Master of the String! I can't judge people who did as Danny. No one know how broken may soul be inside and how many power left to pushing yourself to live with this hurt. At least it was his own choice. Maybe, too short life way, but not the worst way to left this world. R.I.P.
Saw his name on a recent top Telecaster players list, and mentioned by folks reviewing who got left off Rolling Stones top 250 guitarists list. My God, this guy is one hell of a player.
Yes he is.
Thank you! New Danny Gatton footage is always appreciated!
What a true gem ! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Danny will always be in my heart. Loved this one ;)
The master of the Tele.
Blowing. My. Mind. Very inspiring
When I watch Danny play I see so much that reminds me of Roy Clark. Two very different but equally brilliant guitarists, and both gone.
Much missed.
Roy spent a lot of time in the DC area in the late '50's - early '60's. At some point he played at Chick Hall's Surf club in Brentwood Maryland and years earlier, as I've been told, Chick Hall (senior) sold Roy his first electric guitar.....
@@marktryon5373
That wouldn't happen to be the broadcaster? Pretty sure it was.
MAN! I wish he never stopped playing this tele. When he started playing that one that the custom shop made...the one he plays on ACL... his tone was never this raw and open again.
Thank you for the upload! Bless up!
Master of the Telecaster thanks for posting you have some really great stuff
I was at this amazing show
OMG that last half hour with Evan Johns and Tom Principato
Nice footage. Haven’t seen this one before. Thx
breath taken mind blown. Massive Guitar IQ here
Incredible! I love hearing Danny and seeing him is a real treat. Thank you so much for posting this.
Genious guitar player ! Thanks for share !
Thanx for sharing! incredible fine:-)
My Pops Ralph McDuffie on the Sax
Sherrie Pollard amazing to hear him play, suck up the atmosphere and spit it back at us. Awesome!
Cool
I was just saying “Man that sax player is outstanding” 👍
Your cool dad's got it going -fire! my baby brother (well 60 yrs old) is a jazz saxer
Ralph sat next to me at Anacostia high school. He use to draw pictures of me with my 1958 Gibson Explorer guitar. I would give anything to have those back. He was a great artist.
Great player saw him with the fatboys back in the day. Did you takes up music too?
It's that massive pedal board with all those effects that make him sound so good... or not.
Seriously though, Danny had all his effects in his fingers. If ever there was a MASTER of an instrument it is Danny on his Tele.
Many great guitarists out there - only one Danny Gatton - RIP Brother.
Fingers don't Lie! Or, need effects!
My favorite guitar player and am still excited when I attempt to play a few of his licks off the video i bought years ago that Arlen Roth produced quite nicely!
most great players do not need effects;ie, rory gallagher & roy buchanan : danny is jamming in heaven with those guys
just listen for a while. don't get bored waiting for the sax to give it over to Danny.
I don't know who said it but....someone made a comment a long time ago that Danny was ambidextrous (meaning both left & right-handed) so.....I think that explains his dexterity on the fretboard! What an A-M-A-Z-I-N-G guitarist!!! Sadly missed even today!!! :(
Danny you left us way too soon!
57:58
Sleepwalk
Thanks for posting this. What a delight to listen to real musicians.
Thanks for posting this.Gatton is still the best unknown guitar player ever!
Paul Straney hmm an his soul brother Roy Buchanan. Think Danny is using his guitar in this show
ES INCREIBLE!!!
I believe I was there for this show!
Danny Plays no stopping love it
AN AMAZING SET ..GREAT ..THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS ..DANNY IS ONE OF MY REAL ALL TIME BEST GUITARISTS
The right hand does damn near as much as the left. Pure genius
27:25 instrumental after Hanks "Hey good looking" is "Sugarfoot Rag" to minute 32:00 of the medley then he lost me until the guitar-boogie riffs
Sounds like “Bonapartes Retreat” may be in there too
please credit all members on every vid they earned it thank you
One pedal sitting on top of his fender amp. I believe it is a boss distortion effect he used for gain and overdrive in some of the edgier songs. So basically it is his fingers making that Magic
The only pedal he used was a boss dd-3 delay !
34:40 to 36:06 - good god!!
Would anyone like to fill me in with some info regarding Danny’s singer? Iconic for me seeing him in all these videos - I bet there is some history there. Also all you fellers who were in the DC area and knew Danny and Roy, from a 25 year old from near London, you boys are pretty much gods by proxy to have been around. Sad to hear a lot of you locals believe Roy Buchanan was done in by the coppers. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit.
Billy Windsor was the singer I think he was a year older than Danny and died shortly before Danny did, from a fatal heart attack or something.
Rest in Peace....it was nice!
Gatton occupies 1st, 2nd, 3rd winner's place because he knew how to switch styles on the fly.
Is that Washboard Chaz playing in the background there?
Danny placed with us at hillbilly heaven in Layton va.a true Master of that tel . Tidewater Virginia James River Jamestown
Reminds me of Roy Bucanon
Lotta Lovin' starts at 48.12 instead of I want you I need I love you.
Just cannot get that rude sound with a Telecaster. These guys are the exception.
It has some form of rail humbuckers in it.
Having said that I bet if Danny was still around you could plug in in to a $99 Squire guitar and the crappiest practice amp and he would still sound like Danny.
LOCKERBIE DEDICATION SHUFFLE ....A1
This is a weird thought, but.....He should have opened on the Stevie Ray/Jeff Beck Tour😮
That mystery train solo was poor ! 😂Honestly what was he thinking ...just out of this world😳
Ya know, it's really hard to play in bars, many songs, many hours . Sometimes a feller might git drunk.
Intro song is 'Rainbow riot' by B B king !
Yep, B. B. King covered the tune "Rainbow Riot" on his "Blues 'n' Jazz " album, although I think the arrangement Danny is playing owes more to the Bill Doggett version. The tune was written by jazz trumpeter Andy Gibson and songwriter Angelyn Carlington.
When I started out in the mid 70s,I had this idea these pros all played like this,they could improvise and make triple Lindy's and stick the landings lol...no I thought Jeff Beck and Van Halen had it all cornered.....No this guy is jimi Hendrix good or better...his style is completely rockabilly,jazz,country...I don't notice blues rock distinctly in his huge utube clips....this is the real deal...like water off a duck easy for him
Who's running the board!?
has anyone seen the movie yet?
Perry Mason theme at 42:30
Hey Paul DeBlois...you watching?
if I want a new idiom for "I'm coming " over ASAP , quick. I'd say Im coming over sooner than Danny Gatton wears out fretts....just saying
Sugarfoot Rag from 27
that's MISTER Telecaster to you buddy......
Politics or not - Ive been thinking of Washington DC as "Guitar city", because theres really a lot of great guitarists from there (Roy Buchanan and Jimmy Thackery being my 2 other top guys).
End of red headed woman look for Danny and Evan sharing lil green monster on their thumbs ..when Evan covers Danny's eyes watch Danny's left thumb
"But but but I have a drum machine and autotune. This is so old. WAAAA" - TikTok dorks
Listen kids. This is your anchor to making real music here. Listen and learn.
SETLIST?
Feel free to add one.....
I added one with time stamps did the best i could
I hope that Danny never opened for anyone. If I had to play guitar after him, I may have to cancel.

Tabs please .
ROY BUCHANNONS BROTHER RIGHT HERE
They were good friends, actually. Don't get me wrong, Roy's was a true master, but I never cared for that Ice Pick in the ear tone. Danny's tone, was much warmer to the ear and I enjoyed his playing more because of it.
Sadly they both appear to have ended their lives by their own hand...when the blues come a-knock'n I guess.
@@MarkSmith-uz5lr Many of us from the DC/MD/VA area are still not convinced Roy hung himself - knowing what the Fairfax County police were like back then....sad either way!
Roy was murdered by law enforcement
Why? @@soundchaser2061 Was he some kind of threat? He had the right color of skin for that part of the country...I need more info before I will accept that answer.
Sure he has 6 fingers on each hand ..........
Wasn't he just terrific.
Sad that he is no longer with us.
Chet Atkins (RIP), Mark Knopfler, Jimi Hendricks (RIP), Carlos Santana, or anyone else, can't hold a candle to this guy.
Too bad the never played together.

i dont know the names of a lot of stuff they played
Awesome! Thanks
The first instrumental is "Cajun" as heard on the 1st Roy Buchanan LP. "I want you, i need you, i love you" is actually Gene Vincent's "Lotta Lovin.'"
@@prpapas are you talking about the instrumental at the start? That sounds nothing like cajun
@@knightfall9394 apologies I meant the start of the second instrumental bit
@@prpapas much appreciated, if ya recognize the other bits feel free to tell me
bad cat
Kinda makes me sick, in a good way. Cancel my guitar lessons. Pronto!
Holy shit.
What that singer was doing in this band is beyond me. He was so totally out of his league it's embarrassing. Bill Holloman was such a great addition to Danny's outfit. He played sax like a demon and sang like an angel...and he played keyboards!
Sometimes you just want to play with ur buddies . I think Danny was loyal to his friend. Thats how I see it. Kudos to Danny.
Coupla other wannabes!
Danny needed a better singer Billy mumbling and forgetting the lyrics was poor
I wanna play like DannyGatton. Nose twinkle...
