BE BOP DELUXE SHINE LIVE 1978 Rhode Island

[@Broadfieldpoint]

This guy is the most underated guitar player in the history of rock guitar. Incredible

[@wahwahjunior]

Bill is the reason I picked up a guitar 35 years ago. Still my biggest inspiration

[@patrickwhite4151]

The guitar work on this version showcases Bill's virtuosity.

[@garyberdon3608]

omg - wow - this is so much more intense than the album version - Bill blows them all away on this!

[@Wickedashtray]

I was at this show. Be-Bop was the supporting act. The main act was The Tubes. Easily the best concert Ie attended in my 50 yrs

[@gw2934]

My 2 favourite bands ever on the same bill, ,OMG !! ,,If I can just get the time machine to start I, ll pick you up bout 7.30 ,,you're buying the beer,,, cheers mate 😎

[@kevmac1230]

I had tix and B B DLX is an all time favorite.I couldn't get a ride to Pawtucket so my dad dropped me off but I missed them. Saw the Tubes but I wanted Bill and the boys most.

[@user-bl5jr5vz6i]

1.09... the magic starts. Wonderful guitar playing

[@martinbrown2193]

[@AFIFTHCOLUMN]

[@Wickedashtray]

I was at this show. The main act was The Tubes. both bands were phenomenal

[@markskaradowski3475]

[@EvanRossPlus]

I was at this show, wish I could see it again!

[@terryhosker1298]

Bill the best Loved going to se Be Bop live

[@user-bl5jr5vz6i]

For me Bill is the greatest guitarist of all time. His playing and songwriting are on the same level....a true musical genius.

[@robertsmith301]

A true stylist. One of the best.

[@kjellhedberg7779]

Everybody fan of Nelson complain that Bills is the most under rated musicians' of the 70th. Problem is that Bill was to clever for his time to be a musician.

[@dutchiebunny]

@Broadfieldpoint You are so right! I've heard a lot of guitarists' work, but this guy is something else. Plus, he does a lot of intricate stuff while he's singing. So good it's scary.

[@RACurtis]

Definitely an original. What we ALL were meant to be. But the industry got in the way.

[@user-bl5jr5vz6i]

Bill is a genius on the guitar

[@GreenDistantStar]

Stupendously brilliant!

[@scentdesigner1]

its esy to say Mr Bill is No1, but can peopel take in his music and like it. I love it, his music is like a flow and never stop. Saw him live and it was more fun than Hendrix.

[@SuperMarioJamesSMJ]

And this may be Bills finest live recorded moment

[@Richardjn]

@Broadfieldpoint yes absolutely spot on - great feel and dynamics!!!

[@RACurtis]

Definitely cut from that same cloth of great tone and impeccable phrasing. Choosing a BEST is like saying there can only be ONE. I like BOTH. Frankly I also like Frank Marino, Steve Vai, Carlos Santana. I've been a tone junkie since my teens. Give me a few well selected notes with great tone within the body of a song and I can listen all night. Shred endlessly without the tone/taste combo and it's better for me than No-Doz.

[@m1ck1960]

Very few can be put in the same class as Bill, let alone be called better!

[@TheOverlordOfProcrastination]

Huge thumbs up.

[@robdavidson1876]

Love Bill Nelsons guitar playing my fave

[@stevehurl298]

What's the date of this show? I saw them open for Styx on St. Patrick's Day in New Haven CT ( Mar. 15, 1978 ). This was the only "old" track in the set; the rest was all from Drastic Plastic. I think they were rocking it up more in 1978, reacting to punk/new wave approaches, and yeah, this version is a little more aggressive than the "Air Age" live lp version, which had a more expansive, less hurried quality. Anyway, jam bands take some note of Be Bop Deluxe because of tracks like this. Mighty, Mighty!

[@Tudomir]

Great this stuff is.

[@RACurtis]

Agreed: That tone is amazing. I've tried to duplicate it for years and cannot come close.

[@gw2934]

I've read that Bill discovered he could overdrive his amps by turning the output of his tape delay units up full ? Might be a part of his beautiful tone ? In later years although he still sounded great with newer gear it wasn't the creamy Live in the air age es345 tone I love aswell ,cheers mate.

[@DMoots]

@Broadfieldpoint his tone is untouchable

[@WmJoseSinclair]

@Tudomir Correct! Great guitar solo

[@robertstamm4552]

Excellent

[@PeterMayer]

I agree!

[@vmax4steve524]

could you publish the uncut version pleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssseeeeeeeee!

[@charlesremschel7]

@GreenDistantStar and how does green play into a distant star?

[@GreenDistantStar]

@charlesremschel7: No green stars, except me, and I am distant ;>)

[@jpsspark]

[@2chukbuk1]

B ill is the stuff. I want to see him on a double bill with Bill Frisell.

[@Tudomir]

One silly guy I know, say that Bill is not a good G player ???? He sucks!!!!!
