Bill Nelson "For Stuart"

[@sinnertrain7405]

One of the greatest guitar players ever in my opinion!!! Eric Clapton may be a household name, but he couldn't step into Mr. Nelson's shoes even at the top of his legendary career. The CREAM doesn't always rise to the top it seems . . . .

[@fordtruckguy1288]

Eric Clapton is to overated . Bill is infinately better.

[@AbsoluteNut1]

Brian May, Bill Nelson, Jimi.

[@johnluccarella1011]

What can be said that already hasn't been stated? Bill Nelson's style is unique and unmatched imo. Wonderful piece of music. This musician hasn't got the credit he surely deserves.

[@laurenceellis8311]

50 years of pure magic, Bill is the greatest musician you've never heard of..... We are truly blessed that a creative force in music still works in and out of the system...

[@caleywontdie]

Magnificent tribute to Stuart Adamson. One of the stand out tracks on a superb Bill Nelson album

[@patrickwhite4151]

Bill has been an musical influence since 1974 and continues to inspire. A lovely tribute to Stuart.

[@nightsampler]

Bill Nelson is a National Treasure!

[@tonyrees3873]

bill is up there with any axe man you can name

[@permaveg]

Two vastly underated guitarists, one never got the credit he so deserved and the other still awaiting it. Nice tribute Bill to the much missed Stuart.

[@artinheaven4572]

Stunningly beautiful.

[@lindadote]

What a beautiful musician Bill is (this is sublime), and yes, Stuart is missed. Thanks for this.

[@taz205t16]

not since gilmour has a guitar had such an impact on me! the emotion, simply sublime.

[@paulsenkans3401]

Perfect music for tai chi chuan exercises! Bill's music is transcendental.

[@randlerobbertson8792]

One of Bills very finest. I saw him do this live at Nelsonica 2012 - in York. . It was even better live. A true 'happening with tapes' and 'even more than international'. 😊

[@paulrichmond3348]

I was there, truly awesome event. :)

[@zepps46]

hadn,t heard this untill recently, shame on me, Verdict, this man never ceases to amaze me this man should be a superstar, though he probably wouldn,t want to be him being so humble. The man is a musical genius. And probably in the top 5 guitar player,s ever.

[@rickydicky100]

What a tribute from the MOST under rated guitarist ever

[@michaelsalisbury1477]

Ricky Dickey Peyei Banks. Is the most underrated guitarist and I need to get a new letter

[@michaelsalisbury1477]

Ricky Dickey Peter Banks is the most underrated guitarist ever don't. Be misled.

[@musicbybackinnyc1]

lovely ending with the bagpipe sounds

[@TobyLuckyMerlin]

Mr Nelson can paint with guitars....brilliant!

[@JeffersonianDem]

Yes, a bloody Genius is what he is too!

[@finn64]

[@dawneabdulal-bari9313]

Hot, Beautiful Soul...This is why God Blesses Us with Friends ;->

[@aarlevanbram]

if only Stuart could be on the set list. Great intro!

[@dimeldahawklord7811]

The first time I heard this beauty...tonite...love it!!!

[@robertdavidson9393]

[@Transterra55]

I'm with 2perros2.....I'm in for a 100. All the pleasure from the last 37 years is well worth a 100!

[@MrThomas1958]

[@MrThomas1958]

...very nice tune

[@Tudomir]

Me too, I put in 100 :-) Super concentrate of cleverness Trust to Bill ;-)

[@harihari908]

fantastic!!!

[@owenmcgee8496]

opens and closes with e-bow. nelson was apparently adamson's role model for guitar playing within a song, setting him on the road to being a songwriter (as did punk). before that I think he aspired to be a r'n'b/blues soloist a la Rory Gallagher, i.e. with adamson's first band 'tattoo' that did cover versions, but that format/style wasn't really a vehicle for developing as a songwriter. some of the guitar lines here remind me of some of adamson's vocal lines (can't tell which), but this sounds a little closer to steve vai/joe satriani territory on guitar. I like the title of this unavailable cd: 'romance of sustain'. electric guitars sustain like violins and apparently with the e-bow could sustain indefinitely which is possibly why it wasn't necessarily user friendly. like how BC used it, though, now and then...nelson's use here is no doubt meant as a nod to that.

[@supermash1]

That Bill dexicated a song to Stewart is touching. Stewart was a major talent that Bill sheparded along in the beginning but of course ad a true talent he found fame if not some fortune. I'm sad that Stewart isnt stiĺl with us.

[@malcolmbeckett9802]

Let's not forget that Eric Clapton is a racist
