Come back to this often. Thank you.

floating away with Vini always

Mental illness has made him disappear from the world.A true genius.Peace to you Vin.

god that 4 sophia at the start hits way harder than the recorded. The king

Oh wow, I didn't figure out of hearing the album's that the vibrato was coming from his bar, but now it makes 100% complete sense

I love Vini's music

beautiful

4AD COCTEAU TWINS

anyone know when this was done? Looks around 2006 when those XFM sessions were filmed but could be wrong

How could anyone thumbs down this. A truly unique musician who I adore

Anyone ever done a rig rundown with Vini?!!!!

Among the best and most creative guitar players of the 20th century. ❤️

Heartfelt and just beautiful melody! He deserves all the credit for the work he did with morrissey!!!! I think it’s horrible he didn’t receive it 👎

Wow-where was this filmed? Looks like a private gig

Absolutely glorious playing, Vini. ❤️

pure. real....

Thank you so much for saving and sharing this...he’s such a brilliant musician!

Give anything to be there watching this live.

Beautiful, moving...he truly makes the world a better place. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks . Now I know Great player

I’ve loved Durutti Column Since the 80’s but I’ve never seen/heard this. I’ve always loved Albatross. Hearing Reilly playing it has blown my tiny mind. Thanks for posting it.

In the world of all-the- same-guitar-rock,with so many "idiots bending the strings" like Zappa said,this is fresh air

The greatest guitar player to ever walk the earth in my opinion.

J'aime beaucoup le travail musical de durutti et ce depuis longtemps merci thanks for posting

Whenever I hear Vini playing the guitar, I automatically think it would make a great soundtrack to a film. It would be a very sad or melancholic film involving a lost or unrequited love and probably be in black and white and involve long, sweeping shots of someone walking over the moors or on a beach looking all forlorn. Vini supposedly used to get lots of female fan mail when the Durutti Column were semi famous and I can see why as I've always thought his music sounded massively romantic in a non standard way. I know he hasn't been at all well over recent years and I hope as we reach the end of the year his health has improved and he's enjoying life. His music has never garnered as much attention or critical acclaim as it deserved in my opinion. He should be far wider known as a world class guitarist and composer of tunes.

some of the most beautiful music ever written, from a soul not of this earth, had the privalige to meet Vinni, and in real life, his soul shines in every way as much as his guitar

Tony Wilson's favourite musician

inspiring

i"ve been a fan for many years- it just sends me to a place that is not in this world- thank you Vini and thanks for sharing this Bruno

Thanks, Bruno.

Great player.

that DEFINITELY NEEDS A COAT OF MAGNOLIA!

its def. 4 sophia, but he uses some of those phrases in a few other songs.

This sounds like an early version of 4 Sohpia. Rebellion came out in 2001, so my guess is that this was recorded in 2000. Anyhow, this is bloody marvelous..... weak at the knees.

Thank you!

01. 4 Sophia 0:02 02. Albatross (Fleetwood Mac Cover) 3:40

Last tune sounds like Fleetwood Mac Albatross

Really into the frequency of these tunes!

Vini Reilly's one of those musicians where you can hear about three bars and know instantly that it's him. A truly unique genius in my view and hearing this takes me back to my teen years in Manchester in the 80's. Brilliant stuff - cheers for uploading.

So glad he didn't get crushed by The Star Machine. Now if someone would just help him get a steady income from his work. David Gilmour? Hello???!!

It must have been a hiding-to-nowhere generating interest in instrumental guitar music in the early 80's and so soon after the punk explosion. Still, you eventually learn to like what ya like regardless of what's fashionable.

It is Mello.

Many, many thanks for sharing this with the world. Great!

Fab

vinny reilly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone else reckon the last tune sounds a lot like a 'Sun King' by the Beatles, and '3 A.M. Somewhere Out of Beaumont' by the KLF? Sounds good anyway.
