I think the lick at 6:32 is the crown jewel of this piece. It's a plaintive cry amidst the ferocity

It's a prefect moment in time, he never played it the same twice. This specific recording is magical.

Who is the Brazilian yelling at the end ??

Shawn is truly 1 of 1. Nobody’s music has touched me like yours thank you for everything. The greatest

Hay-yah! !

Shawn Lane, the Master of Improvisation.... great guitar man...in memorian

Just listen to this...

Shawn was such a technical monster, as well as a melodic virtuoso. Everything about Shawn was prolifically perfect. His chops, modal progressions, composition, melodic direction, and everywhere else his music could go before touching us in heart and soul! It is sad that his few live performances were recorded in such poor quality, fuzzy videos.

Different levels of dexterity. Oh my gosh. Speeches

Still awesome, RIP 🙏

I randomly (by accident mostly) come back to this video in every couple of years and be mesmerized by the sheer mind-bending performance by Lane. You must be on a different level, not just as an artist but as a human - to be able to play like this.

What an absolute inspiration

The Grand Master at his best is still relevant in 2024.

Bass line 2:26 🔥

Shawn is sometimes underrepresented in this era of TH-cam virtuosos.

I graduated from MI back in 1991. Wish I could have seen this.

The new breed such as Mateus Asato and Matteo Mancuso are great in their own way and certainly Guthrie Govan who is extraordinary particularly at improvising but Shawn Lane surprises me every time I watch him. He seemed to have this ability since his teenage years coupled with a musicality that sets him still above most for me.

He was a god.

Maybe in about 300 years time musicians will look back and say “Hey, that bloke there from the year 2275, he was almost as good as Shawn Lane”…but somehow I doubt it…

This is definitely the best guitarist i have seen

All I can hope is that the people in attendance that day had the slightest idea of the sheer greatness they were witnessing and that no one in the history of the world would come even remotely close to this level of expressiveness ever again. Also the bend at 5:49 is undoubtedly the most amazing bend ever bended, it made me legitimately cry

RIP Shawn Lane I wish you could know your music has reached deep into the hearts of musicians even today

Simply the best. ❤

I still wonder why Shawn didn't get enough recognition.

1:33 wow that might be one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.

The greatest guitar performance known to man.

That guitar smoked 2 cigs afterthat work out.....

00:40-02:20 Imagine how it must feel to be able to express yourself so freely and easily. Shawn never ceases to amaze me. There aren't many people that have ever had such a gift.

Love the behind stepped timing at 6:23

The scream at the end tells you everything.

Is he playing a 750XL there?

Fun fact. I still hear the noice in my head after fixed the audio.

❤

spine tingling

I see what his secret is. It's so obvious that if I told you, you wouldn't believe me because you'd have to unlearn years of bad habits built into your muscle memory over time.

This is my first time checking out Shawn Lane (not really into shredders much) and I blown away. Even without the ludicrous technical ability, his expression, touch and note choices are just exceptional, just beautiful. The word underrated is thrown around a lot, but this guy is criminally underrated. Wow.

El nivel de precisión es letal 😮 y fuera de lo normal 😂😂😢😢😢

I first found Shawn when he started recording with Jonas Hellborg. At first I wasn't sure what to think as I was buying Hellborg for his compositions and didn't much care about the guitar player. By the time Personae came out I knew he was special and by the time he did Icon and the Paris DVD I knew this was someone far beyond the Shredder label and just a pure musician. I remember the day he died and I wrote on the white board at work 'Shawn Lane is Dead' and no one knew who he was but I felt it and goddamn I was going to let everyone know. I still miss him and the excitement I used to have for a new Hellborg album. Luckily they still sound awesome so go buy them all on CD and listen to them on repeat. Cheers.

26:00 to 26:32 is a realy out this world.

I wonder what it was like to see this live

I just have to say, when he lets go of the whammy bar at 6:05, it's GO time.

Never really feel the need to comment on videos, but this truly is an exception. The whole thing is phenomenal because, of course, it's Shawn Lane; however, that playing from 3:34 onwards is something else. I love his decision to add the harmonic at 3:36, which climaxes perfectly the first half of the piece. The way he resolves to the E at 4:53 from that run starting at 4:48 is sublime, and then the run between 5:25 and 5:47, just wow. What an amazing, amazing talent taken far too early from this world.

I need to go practice...

From 05:26 Shawn went into another world, you can see it clearly

I've never heard anything like this.

This is one of my favorite songs ever and I just discovered Shawn lane last night. I love the chords in this song. Like I can’t believe l knew about joe Satriani and Steve vai in middle school but not once have I heard about this man? It literally makes me cry I’ve missed out such a work of art for nearly 20 plus years. I wish more people heard this man.

7:03 is exactly how I sound when the song finishes

Used to stay up all night and play this while I smoked my bong while the sun rose. Thanks for the vibes Shawn.

That was so astounding, I need to rest for 10 mins

Cover it .
