Roy Buchanan in concert with Albert Collins and Lonnie Mack in December 1985.
"Roy Buchanan has long been considered one of the finest, yet criminally overlooked guitarists of the blues rock genre whose lyrical leads and use of harmonics would later influence such guitar greats as Jeff Beck, his one-time student Robbie Robertson, and ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons." - Greg Prato

I was fortunate to have played drums with Roy on his last California tour in 1988 just 4 months before he died and the set of music we played was exactly the same as this one. With Carey Ziegler on the Bass and vocals . His dedicated fans loved him and there were lines down the block for tickets 4 hours before a 10:00 showtime....all shows were sold out ....packed houses at every new venue. Every night was simply a fun musical jam filled with Roy's great guitar playing and Carey's kick-ass bass playing just like this gig you are seeing here. Roy had everything to live for, a brand new guitar custom made for him and devoted fans in every town he played in....plus 6 fully grown children who all loved him. I sincerely believe he did not take his own life. Roy was one of the best musicians and artists I have ever played with....truly a gifted player totally committed to bringing the finest live performance to his audiences...and of course a magnificent, world-class legendary Guitarist.

What a shame that Roy Buchanan could not achieve the commercial success and public recognition he deserved, as so many other lesser guitarists did. He deserves to be a household name like Beck, Hendrix, Page, and Clapton. All I we can do is play his stuff and introduce his work to others that don't know. Viva Roy!

I was in Georgetown where Roy was playing . The Stones were in town and came to club to see Roy. A table was cleared for Mick. Jagger acknowledged us and said hello mates. There was a break Roy sat at our front row seats. Roy had a cocktail with us. Jagger bought our table a nice bottle of champagne. Mick Jagger started talking to Roy. He offered him a job with the Stones. Keith Richard's eyes rolled around in his sockets. Roy declined.

Makes me cry, when you said "such a loss". In one of Roy's songs he talks of a stranger entering a town; he Roy Buchanan is that stranger, is that messiah, offering the listeners the history of the world thru his instrument and his life experience. Roy was on a tour with the Jazz guitarist Larry Coryell and The Eleventh House in the '76 or '77. They came thru my home town. I got to see Roy play with the Eleventh House at the Flynn Theatre. in Burlington VT..

I first saw (heard of) Roy Buchanan when I was in college, home for a Christmas break with my parents in NJ. I walked across the den where the telly was on PBS as my mum watched PBS a lot. I forget what struck me first, but being a guitar player/future guitarist, I sat down on the couch in a daze. When he started “the Messiah will come again“, my mum , who is a classically trained, virtuoso pianist but also a lover of blues , Stopped and said “now that’s how you play the blues!“ I agreed. I have everything I could get my hands on over the years and have read quite a bit about Roy. Before his tragic death, I remember an Advert for one of his Tours in Rollingstone magazine (I think) that named all of the rock stars, like John Lennon, Keef, et al, who thought of him as the greatest guitarist they’d ever heard. They may just have that right in common. It was an extension of him - just like Hendrix! It is so fun hearing this video (pardon the non sequitur) To hear Roy mastering the effects like delay/echo that he had never understood that Hendrix was using from the beginning. No fuzz. No UniVibe. No delay. If it wasn’t on the amp, he didn’t use it and couldn’t figure out how Jimi was getting them. Just listening to one song with him using the echo is mind blowing! But listening to him play on Austin City Limits from Austin Texas with nothing but a fender reverb deluxe, I believe, is just as or more than astonishing! I still miss him so much… Thank you Roy and thank you Jeff Beck for scooping up a lot of Roys spirit and making it your own. Someday I hope to meet Roy’s soul in heaven...

I came late to the music of Roy Buchanan. Though I always read his name in the music magazines, I haven't bought any album of his (they were hard to find in my town in Germany). So, in 1996 I made a trip to San Francisco. I went to a festival and Narada Michael Walden (I loved the Jeff Beck Wired album and the Mahavishnu stuff) was playing. Afterwards I went to Amoeba and other record stores in Haight St. to get me some Narada records. I saw his album LOADING ZONE and took it with me. I really love that album to this day.

Afterward, at the bar Warren told me he was working with Dickey, who was a real favorite of mine. Months later they released a record as THE DICKEY BETTS BAND, and hit NYC for a live broadcast gig on WNEW FM, and this began a long relationship as ABB got a deal on Epic after sales on that record and Greg's showed $ promise. ABB were the best musicians I knew and always put me on guest lists and passes. I always think back to that band as the best ever. Warren did a solo record - its one of my favorite records ever. That live broadcast is available here on youtube now. I never saw the Toler Brothers but have several releases by them, but never met them. Dan did a record with Jimmy Hall that's excellent.

HOW I miss those days! I was in many Blues bands. In one of them, my friend , Walter, was the guitarist and he introduced me to Roy Buchanan. We used to go see him all the time . All the shows, that we could get to . And Mayall shows as well. I was a Mayall fan and he was a Roy fan, which I became as well . What a loss to the music world. Sadly, those exciting days are no more; when we could hardly wait for the next new album to come out . . And sadly, I don’t talk to that guy anymore. A great guitar player , but , well, too many issues ~ ~ ~

wow im really grateful for how clean and accurate Stevie Ray was...these guys all play like jimmy page...a little on the edge of chaos...Stevie did a lot of these licks but much cleaner without sounding sterile...he swung it and he played it ahead and behind and all over but he never sounded fragmented like Roy ...now all pros HAVE to be accurate or they wont sound like pros...after SRV and EVH the bar was raised....

I agree. SRV and EVH are superior guitarists - but this is an answer to a question that nobody asked.

As a long time fan of Roy, you have to respect his style that many have latched on to. Jeff Beck dedicated a song to him, Joe Walsh likely picked up his used of harmonics and many others on his artistic approach to playing. I watched the first PBS special on him with my Dad a life long Tele player and just loved the way he manipulated his guitar! His Tele combined with a cranked Fender Vibroverb gave him all the head room to get those signature sounds! Whether you like him or not is irrelevant, but you have to recognize his contributions to the art form. I have most of his albums (except one?) and they are precious. A sad ending (and controversial) to his life. Overlooked? No! I'm sure there's countless other names of big artists that saw Roy and realized how much you can get out of just a guitar and amp without a massive pedal board of sound options! RIP Roy!

I saw Roy perform at an outdoor afternoon show in after an amazing set by Jan Hammer. They just blew Jan Hammer away and blew my mind. I don't think I ever saw a better guitarist. Amazing!!1

Fucking ell sometimes i love what youTube recomenedations give me. I am 1 minute in Roy was a beast and I never knew! I am so old now I only remember Roy from an album I heard in the 70s at a friend's place. Hey Joe , Hey good looking and Roy's blues I recall were on it. I was ok but nothing like this.

Well he is actually using an old Boss analog delay here. But I mean that's nothing compared to modern players with literally space ships at their feat.
