Roy Rogers "Dust My Broom" live at The Stone with The Coast to Coast Blues Band 3/30/85!!!

The master of the slide guitar, #Roy Rogers, performing the song "Dust My Broom" , live, at The Stone on Broadway in San Francisco on March 30th 1985!!! The players are, the outstanding Mike Osborn on guitar, wild man Larry Hamilton on bass, solid as a rock Tim Richards on drums, and myself, Jeff Vash on the B3 Hammond!!!! This video was taken by a house videographer from one side of the stage, and recorded on VHS, so the quality isn't quite there, but you can still hear see and feel the blues oozing from this piece! And a very special thank you goes out to my friend, Ron Combs, for making this night happen, AND for finding this footage after looking for almost three decades!!!! ENJOY!!!!

Roy Rogers - I’ve been following him since the 80s. He’s a national treasure. I’ve seen him in concert a few times. Does so much with such simple equipment. He does use a pedal for a chorus effect now and then, but lots of times it’s just an acoustic guitar on a mike or a piezo pickup with a slide and excellent fingers. Tone is in the hands!

[@edblues45]

One of the greatest slide players.

[@Hardrawker1]

And I couldn’t agree more! Also a pretty nice guy too!!!

[@williamcaspers7087]

[@Hardrawker1]

Absolutely! Was a great but fleeting point in time.... Very happy that you enjoyed it, and MUCH thanks for looking!!!

[@bluesworld99]

One of the precious few..Greatest living slide players, and absolutely one of the best that ever lived...

[@Hardrawker1]

Couldn’t agree more.........and, one heck of a nice guy too!!!!

Cool to see Roy Rogers playing at an earlier show. Most of the YT vids have been 2001-2017 or so. You can see how his playing expanded a little since '85, and it was terrific then. Thanks for posting this.

[@Hardrawker1]

Yes, Roy is, and pretty much always was, a superb player! He's also a really great person as well, and I will always cherish these special moments! Very happy that you enjoyed this clip, and MUCH thanks for looking!!!

[@mikeburns2297]

I remember Roy playing the german beer festival at hunter mountian n.y.in early 80's

[@Hardrawker1]

That would be a most EXCELLENT memory right there! Seems like Roy was born with a slide on his finger, as he’s ALWAYS been an OUTSTANDING player……..IMHO…….!😉 MUCH thanks for stopping by, taking a looksee AND taking the time to comment as well!!!

[@2sc458]

Loved The Stone and the Keystone Berkeley and Palo Alto. There used to be a lot of cool clubs for live music.

[@Hardrawker1]

Jon! Yes, in the day….there were quite a few clubs and halls that catered to live music! We…..Bay Rum….used to be regulars at The Hill, The Cabaret, The Omni, Niles Station, The Concord Palace, all of the Keystones, and pretty much any hole in the wall that would let us plug in and would kick down a brewski or two!!!😏 MUCH THANKS for stopping by AND taking the time to comment!!!🤘🏼

[@2sc458]

Yep, All kinds. The Pink section, in the paper had tons of clubs. I-Beam, Bottom of the Hill, Kilowatt, On Broadway, The Rio Theater, Berkeley Square. ...man, the list just seems endless.@@Hardrawker1

Hello, and much thanks for watching! All of the info on this video is written in the description underneath. I did a few shows with JLH and the C2C Blues band……this particular one is in San Francisco at the Stone on Broadway…..

[@attygarland6909]

Dang, and turns out after all these years he isn't Black .. oops .. 😊 I still like it best when he lets a Black vocalist handle that part of the tune, e.g. John Lee Hooker ..

[@Hardrawker1]

Yeah……not black but has HELLA soul! AND is a really great guy too!!!! Thanks much for looking AND commenting as well!!!
