Shawn Lane & the P.O.T. Band - M.I.T. Hollywood - 5th of February 1993 (Full Set - 60fps/Resync)

[@EgoFilotto]

This whole concert is something between a miracle and a paranormal event.

[@garrettblochlinger9631]

Dude if Beetlejuice popped up in the background I wouldn't even be surprised

[@MichaelHemotoxin]

I've got to walk around that room at MI for campus tour, when i looked at the stage all i could imagine was what it must have been like for a student to experience this clinic and how jealous i will always be of them. I kept starring at the left side because thats where Shawn stood, truly some magical shit.

[@fernandes5986]

Worthy of Area 51 to say the least.

[@hankramos8663]

For reals aye! 20 years after his passing and with all the amazing virtuoso guitar shredders sprouting up via the internet, l still see Shawn Lane as the absolute Gold Standard by which all of them are judged.

[@mattstrat1]

It's the best guitarist in the world showing what it takes .

[@KeenanNeighbors]

I knew Shawn in Memphis and I'll tell you a funny story about one night he came over to my house and as we stood in the kitchen talking my dad walked in so I introduced them and said This is Shawn he is a guitar player and my dad said hi and then he said ''A guitar player? So are you any good?'' I could have gone through the floor and just died from embarrassment but Shawn being the soft-spoken guy he was said '' I think so'' THINK SO!! When I heard him say that I nearly died again

[@charleshames3276]

Keenan it reminds me of Eric Johnson. He was in a music store and a girl asked him if he could play the guitar. He said, “A little bit. “

[@paullewismumford1608]

Little did your dad know he was literally meeting the best guitar player that ever lived!

[@zaccyo]

DUDE!! More stories please:)

[@KeenanNeighbors]

@@zaccyo Ok I will come back later and tell you one.. thanks

[@gregorytoddsmith9744]

I'd like to read another story as well please!!🎸

[@johnny-r]

It's every young player's dream to have this kind of mastery and control over the instrument. It's also every old player's dream.

[@justanotheranhedonicguy5132]

That *improvised* solo he plays on Tri 7/5 has met no match even today. Most incredible piece of guitar playing the world has ever seen. No wonder even Guthrie picks Shawn lane as the best there's ever been.

[@lawsonrussell874]

The musicians behind him are incredible too.

[@PabPapp1]

yeah drummer is a machine

[@johanjotun1647]

all-star lineup

[@virgyltracey8454]

Agree...

[@smiljanicn]

Force of nature, that what Shawn was.

Sean Rickman is still touring with the best. I watched him live this year (2022) with Steve Coleman's band here in London. He hasn't aged a day in 29 years!

[@charliem.931]

I use Indica at night right before bed and every single night I come here to watch 19:00 until the end of the song because it feels like the first time I heard it and it always makes me cry. It's the most perfect guitar moment to ever happen.

[@robosing225]

absolutely agree.

[@noeelaphoros7430]

no respect from the sativa gang. have fun on the couch slowpoke

[@HoofHearted6]

Tear inducing for sure. Magic!

[@zeropointpower]

I always knew the Charvel XL750 was much more than a metal guitar. Shawn is a legend. He made it sing, with beautiful melody lines, ultra fast runs and phrasing that is magical. Two underrated treasures.

[@AyBi_Studio]

Thats is why it is called the Les Paul killer

[@jimbojumbo5805]

G.O.A.T.

[@lefujyou]

Born to play," people always talk about speed" but what impresses me is the way Shawn played melodies and ballads........inspirational !........Le

[@mpmedia6735]

He is definitely more than a highly skilled shredder. His musicality is genius.

[@CoryIsMyName]

It's just so satisfying to see him and his incredible drummer going absolutely HAM together for three minutes.

[@Samurai78420]

"The most terrifying guy of all time" - Paul Gilbert

[@talmorris3740]

Can we talk about this incredible TONE? Fok! It’s so smooth, singing, big and full, no huge amount of hiss, it’s not easy to design a guitar sound like that.

[@fourtyseven47572]

A lot of it is due to the Gjika gold amp and ofc Shawns hands

[@dressedtosmellgood]

He sounded just as good thru his Mississippi bluesmaster and nady tube pedal

[@carlosbermudez4447]

he modified his own amp

[@GreenDistantStar]

Now let's ponder the idea that Shawn, like most guitarists, was attempting to play what he heard in his head. Just to conceive this sound, let alone replicate it, is what astounds me. 30 years + now since this was created, it's still the Gold Standard, and Shawn is still the GOAT. Matteo Mancuso is perhaps the closest we have today, another prodigy.

[@chriskhan8626]

Is it the Gjika though?I thought he played the Holmes on the road?​@fourtyseven47572

[@whoguy4231]

Musicality, technique and soul ... Shawn Lane is the BEST ❤❤❤ Rest in Peace G.O.A.T

[@DaniloMarrone]

“Epilogue for Lisa” is simply one of the most beautiful pieces ever written on guitar. The pain and love for his sister resounds so wondrously in every note. Shawn was a virtuoso in the best sense of the word-he always played true to each song. This footage of the maestro is priceless. Thank you!

[@zaccyo]

Well said brother! Absolutely beautiful:)

[@bbking0064]

Agree, it's an amazing piece of music. I enjoyed this tribute: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWWod62XZtBlnsU

[@MisterSindelinlin]

Can't believe this was 30 years ago! It sounds as modern and innovative today as the day it was performed. Timeless.

[@JesusGarcia-bu7tf]

His fingers skate across the fretboard so effortlessly. Such a unique musician lost too soon. RIP Shawn🤘

[@noff5471]

This is gold, that passion and feeling, my idol. You can see how emotional Lane was, just watch in 24:22 clearly is crying, and his music was beyond creative, full heart warming. ´R.I.P. the legend´

[@danaeverhart6487]

Rip Shawn you earned it ol' friend. You were worthy! Peace

[@virgyltracey8454]

I think you're right...

[@YesYouAreAbsolutelyCorrect]

Man, I'm crying now too, damn it😭

[@davehenry01]

Holy freaking shitballs. This guitar playing is beyond the beyond. Wow man.

[@zedddddful]

It's masterful, majestic and melodic shawn lane is one of the greatest guitarists to have walked this earth incredible.

[@gkfrandsen7739]

I hear his style in EJ's playing. I don't know if anyone ever could play the guitar and piano like SL. He was born with something very special indeed.

[@Andrew-q8k]

Shawn and Holdsworth the 2 most unique innovative skilled connected electric guitarists since Jimi died

[@EgoFilotto]

I knew him only for his partecipation to the "Centrifugal Funk" project but after I discovered this video I come here every day..and I cry.

[@ShawnLaneMemphis]

Great job on the restoration! Thank you! #TeamShawnLane

[@GreenDistantStar]

There's so many jaw-dropping moments in this gig it's impossible to list them all. His passion, talent and tone are all at their peak, and all I can do is wonder at his gift.

[@YoungUnicorn]

I can't believe it's nearly your sixtieth birthday Shawn. Thanks for the tears and the smiles. Thank you for the music.

[@alvinmercer3760]

The fastest gun that ever lived.

[@wesworach7441]

Dead at the age of 42 ... That hit my soul big time !!! One of the most talented musicians on the planet ... Hopefully jamming with his Idol Allan Holdsworth up there ! ... ?

[@Theosis78]

No, dead aged 40: 1963-2003.

[@danlennon4101]

This whole thing is beyond amazing but to pick out a moment...from about 19:00-20:30 is such majestic beauty, incomparable.

[@ayandey137]

Thats the best piece of guitar playing I have ever heard Not only my face it melts my entire being everytime

[@RockinRich71]

I was sat a few rows from the front at that show! GIT ‘93!! That was a great gig and we were spoilt with many more visiting artists over the time i was studying there 😀 A truly awesome place!

[@ayandey137]

I would sell my soul if I could to see this show live

[@scottcraig1856]

You were there?!?!?! Oh my gosh. Blessed you were.

[@jeffreyleistyna5505]

A once in a century musical genius who happened to be a sweet guy!!!

[@etiennemarcel4397]

Mythical, direct connection with heaven. Shawn Lane was a genius above all. Sean Rickman on drums, genius too (cf. Sean Rickman)

[@demetriusmota9613]

Shawn Lane is melodically connected with the universe, there are so many beautiful parts in this show that his harmonies take us to infinity 59:11... a journey... no one was so virtuous and melodically so sophisticated and full of feeling... the timbre of your guitar is unique and your sound is not found anywhere else... this show is a milestone in the history of Rock-Fusion guitar... reference for everything!!! Thank you so much for this whole show!

[@zaccyo]

Well said brother!

[@mantorandlannett...ourmusi604]

His phrasing is so inspiring and the way He plays through changes, Wow, so flowing and melodic! Thank You for posting this masterful performance!

[@porkbelly0713]

I think the only people that can really appreciate just how good he was are those that have played themselves at some time in their life. I have had many guitars through the years and just never was any good at it. I could not copy this if you gave me 3 more lifetimes to try. He, Eric Gales, and Manuel Gales (Little Jimmy King) are 3 of my fav git players ever, and all 3 came out of Memphis .................. RIP Shawn and Manuel, gone but surely not forgotten

[@johnmchakeres]

ohhh wow... these guys.... total tone, total technique... amazing. And I know they did it all so that I would say that one day. This is so important to remember. This perfection is..... the WHOLE point.

[@RoadWarrior2006]

Complete Genius.

[@muddysludge7117]

He was 30 when he did this and 14 when played for Black Oak Arkansas, Amazing.

[@888Marco]

This is just otherworldly absurd, wtf its so good.

[@rainerrutten1101]

The best I've ever heard

[@ayandey137]

I'd sell my soul if I could to go back in time watch this performance Live Perfection all around, rickman is so great on the drums 🔥 And that beautiful Charvel crafted in Japan fell in hands of the greatest player I have ever heard, they were made for each other

[@SebastianSalinasOficial]

17:27 botón del comienzo del solo de guitarra más emotivo, nostálgico, mágico, virtuoso, lleno de feeling de la historia, RIP Shawn

[@charliem9294]

I love the audience reaction at the end of "Get You Back". That solo has some of the most unique phrasing I've ever seen.

[@stingylizard]

I'm slack jaw amazed and totally dumbfounded.

[@TheLobescoper]

complete badass, he possessed a cheat code of some sort

[@dck6546]

Yeah. I've been a fan since the late 90s. Dude's incredible. I remain a guitarist by believing that Shawn was an incredibly high functioning autistic savant...otherwise I'd have sold off all of my gear years ago and mourned my inadequacy.

[@chrisvaughn6381]

Pure Magic he made it sing and weep R.I.P

[@eschaton7813]

I love the rendition of Tri 7/5 in this performance. Beautiful.

[@JoeCavanaugh]

I too was at this, but also I had never heard of this guy before that day.

[@CesarClouds]

So lucky.

[@christopherherrmann921]

YES YES YES YES YES YES This upload is just PHENOMENAL!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!

[@Watzline]

SOOO glad to find this video. The Great Shawn Lane. I still have my old toothpaste logo Charvel.

[@ensimming]

I'll never get enough of the lick at 43:40

[@dustybeck5950]

sean lanes playing used to scare me... i been growing into his lessons

[@rafaszczerkowski3745]

Music straight from heaven...

[@flame-sky7148]

The Notorious One, Shawn Lane. Thanks for the Facelift

[@rutyniarz]

LOVE HIM SO MUCH!!! 🖤

[@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE]

"Till We Meet Again"/"Tri-Heaven" brings a tear to my eye... incredible melody, technique and emotion.

[@carlosantequera5971]

Thank you very much this concert is pure magic

[@aphexlane]

Not Again has this wonderful energy and life to it. It's the feeling of everything going right in life and just fucking winning.

[@slein790]

the sound that touches the soul in a mili sec.

[@wendelllanders8439]

What a shredding Melodic monster!!!The Best of the Best!!!whooooo!!!!!

[@chordaltapper]

Thanks for posting this video... The best ever talented guitarist in history. Guthrie Govan sayed to me Shawn was THE best. Nothing more to say

[@svenjansen2134]

*said

[@luigivalenza2901]

Eterno! Non morirai mai nei nostri cuori! Grazie ancora per la gioia che continui a regalarci! Grande!

[@Metalprogsense]

get you back que bellezaa

[@ClockworkDave]

You are EPIC. Thanks a million for the hard work you put into this. And Shawn is just next-level in this. There are very few people alive that can come close, and none that can surpass when it comes to sheer technique. What a dude/alien. What a loss.

[@zaccyo]

Even for Shawn - he was in the zone that night!!

[@We-all-watched-the-video]

Amazing, thank you

[@Banzurit]

Thank you for your work and sharing!

[@juanjosemartinez6757]

All the actual shredders nowdays like Guthrie Govan,Asato, Max Ostro and so on can play and amazed people because Shawn it´s no longer here.Next to him,there are none in his level of virtuosity,taste,melody and feeling,even in his final 2 years,with a big beard and cigar Shawn was unmatched.RIP legend.

[@kayokk-]

Agreed. Shawn was and will always be a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon, a true shooting star! Max and Guthrie are also incredible, but they too would agree that Shawn was and will always be a beacon in all our lives here and to come as pure cosmos magic!

[@hankramos8663]

The absolute Gold Standard by which all other virtuoso guitarists are judged.

[@anthonyw2969]

Thanks so much for posting!! I really appreciate the time spent getting this together, specially considering the poor audio/video source material. There isn't enough full SL concerts on KZbin so am really enjoying this!

[@zaccyo]

Heavenly.

[@vladavasiljev]

Wow, just WOOOOW! What a monster, master and virtuoso!

[@tumbaaaaa]

Благодарю! Подарочек подъехал к новому году))

[@CesarClouds]

The greatest.

[@spencermackay9020]

Imagine you had to choose between Get You Back and Not Again. Doesn't bear thinking about.

[@rogthefrog]

Shawn and Sean, GOAT. Thanks for the upload.

[@rickraketa5396]

Get You Back🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲🚀💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔

[@patchpittman4981]

Legendary upload

[@ovidiudumitrescu5898]

Superbe...all the greatness of a guitar genius...Priceless.Thank You Shawn for a wonderful musical legacy ...Beyond words...music beauty in IT s purest form...

[@attilahun8541]

Thanx for sharing!! HE IS THE BEST❤️❤️

[@TruthSurge]

How many 6 year old Japanese girls are playing song 8? I think I saw a few on YT. Ok, that's just a silly remark but who plays like that? His fingers are like little hammers going twice as fast as mortal players. Dissonance, sure, but godz the speed. And almost no bad notes or clunked notes. The vibrato handled by the bar is just great and keeps the notes more in tune. He had such a touch with that. Keeping it level w/o going flat during non-vibrato parts. He was definitely one in a billion, I'd say. Well, in 8 billion? I'd put Shawn in the top 10 guitarists who were unbelievable technicians and musicians. Billion? I can't even imagine a billion of anything. Anyway, I admire this guy's dedication to being a great musician and player. 48:37 uh, did aliens just enter the building?

[@hankramos8663]

He had completely mastered the instrument.

[@notjusttalesnmusic]

🙏🙏🙏

[@Funkbrother213]

If 1993 had a sound this would be It. Every guitar player at school sounded like this (not a bad thing)

[@b.scottfarthingsworth]

I was accepted and visited the school, from NY, during that time, they told me Henderson and another big name were teachers/instructors and famous musicians were attending. I couldn't get the money, and un fortunately never attended.

[@pedroleal7118]

That Charvel has to be a happy guitar!

[@guitartec]

Mind fkn BLOWN!

[@yoda1799]

Dude you are a legend!!!

[@potastone]

그의 연주를 들을때 마다 눈뮬이 자꾸 흐른다...나이가 들어서 일까?

[@NeilRaouf]

Shawn owns the upper register of the guitar like 😮😮❤❤

[@wavefields]

i knew there would be more out there for me to find, thank you!

[@Padrigg89]

What a genius!

[@mikepoirier2492]

The GOAT!!!

[@v1__sherpa114]

This is the power of ten album live! Amazing this is on KZbin because I think his live version of the album is even better than the studio version!

[@KreativeDevices]

Straight 🔥!

[@terencelutre6195]

Not again. 31:10

[@JoseMesta]

One of KZbin gems 💎 Thank you 🙏🏻

[@SeniloStoyadinovich]

Best guitar player ever existed. PERIOD!

[@MatiasVega08]

Awesome

[@TheGuitologist]

Just silly, silly good.

[@shawnderrick]

Forgotten uploads, thanks for doing the work to put this on youtube.

[@winstonsizemore2385]

Absolutely a high master, incredible Musician. His writing is not memorable for the most part. I knew him, what a great Guy.
