Roy Buchanan Playing "Hey Joe", 1976.

[Wyatt Burp]

One of my top five guitarists of all time. You can tell it's the 70s because Ron Burgundy is playing bass.
Cajunlawyer's post motivated this one.

I never saw Jimi but I'll never forget the first time I saw Roy; it was 1974 or 5, at the Guthrie Theater of all places (think "stodgy") on a great double bill with another guitar virtuoso by the name of Larry Coryell. All told I guess I probably caught Roy at least a half dozen times or more in every type of venue imaginable including two nights in a row in a smoky roadhouse from about five feet away. "The Messiah Will Come Again" has always been a fave and sometimes about three a.m. after I've cleared out the bar and all of my work is done I'll pour a shot of Rye and sit down and play Sweet Dreams on the juke box and I might even get a little something in my eye when I think about all the people who didn't quite make it.

And then I lock up and go home.

I saw him in the late 70s at a club called The Keystone in Berkley, Ca. He had a horrible singer, a mediocre band, but it was some the best guitar playing I ever heard to this day. He played a Stratocaster exclusively that night and it was very sharp and a little less twangy.
The entire Austin City Limits this song came from is on You Tube, too, or a lot of it, anyway.

Thanks for the link. I spent several hours listening.
