Well I'm glad to have found this interview. Chicken Shack were my first concert in 69 together with 10 Years after. I always admired Stan as a great blues guitar player.
The only time I saw Stan was with Savoy Brown "Boogie Brothers", Denver Colorado. Opening for Deep Purple. Stan,Kim Simmonds, Miller Anderson,it was so good. Stan had his 100ft.guitar cable and came half way out in the audience and blew us away. That was such a good show. God bless you Stan. God bless stay safe Rock on 🙏😷🎶❗👀
I love all the shack LPs!! But the early ones are my faves!! Though anytime I see a cd (recent)of stan and company I’ll definitely get it!!! He’s still a hero like his buds!! Miller Anderson and Kim Simmonds!!rip
So interesting to hear Stan Webb was a left handed man, playing the guitar "'right"! Stan Webb's Chicken Shack was the first concert of electric rock 'n roll music I witnessed as a teenager (without my parents knowing I was on the gig). They played in 1972 in Hasselt - Limburg - Belgium in a little venue called "Germinal". The band played the whole album "Imagination lady" with devastating volume! (I still have the tinnitus) I will never forget his version of "Poor Boy" because he was channeling Jimi Hendrix like Randy Hansen does it nowadays! ....I N C R E D I B L E! As a kid I was totally flabbergasted... He remains one of my true guitar heroes! Salute!
Stan looks better with his hair in the swept back style rather than the fuzzy look, much respect to Stan, always delivered the goods on stage, I remember seeing the band at the Plumpton Jazz and blues festival, (1969?) Stan had his famous 100 foot long guitar lead so he could get out I to the audience.
My big sister bought '40 Blue Fingers' into our house in 1968, when I was ten. I was fascinated by the cover art - then the music. I've loved the blues ever since - this man is a guitar genius. Thank you, Stan!
How did it take me so long to find this guy? Of course I'd heard of Chicken Shack back in the 60's just never listened to them. Shame on me, right? What a character he is and after watching the video of him playing in Las Vegas, th-cam.com/video/i_QorP6suo0/w-d-xo.html, I think he is the consummate performer. He likes to have fun on stage and seems like the type of guy who isn't above takin' the mick out of himself. Good on ya lad! Thanks for posting this interview. Cheers!
Fantastic to get to hear Stan talk about things. Would have been good to have been much longer and let Stan elaborate and go off on tangents. Would have been good to ask about memories of each LP and his colleagues such as Paul Raymond, and working with Kim Simmonds and Miller Anderson etc👍😀🙂
Thanks for this upload. I know Chicken Shack since 1970 when my dad introduced me to their music but never had the opportunity to see them or hear Stan talking about his carreer/music.
It's all very well saying that Christine used the band as a stepping stone, maybe she did, maybe she didn't. But surely without her in the band Chicken Shack wouldn't have had that hit single in the first place..... She went on to bigger things, so what, that's life. She has proven herself as a talented songwriter and musician over and over since then so what's the problem ? Sour grapes ?
Met Stan in a pub one day in Hampstead 'The Sir Richard Steele' was about 1974/5 standing at the bar I looked at him standing next to me and said hallo and started a conversation, the weird thing was that he came out with the classic line I'm only in it for the money' I think it was his manager who heard him and quickly whisked him off leaving me standing there thinking.. 'what a twat' ! It's horrible when you meet people you admire and they come across as complete arseholes!
In the old days he didn't use a Les Paul, pretty sure it was a S.G, I used to see them lots at the Marquee and other clubs when Christine was with them, my band Swawrb opened for them in 1969 at the Village blues club in Dagenham, Dave Bidwell the drummer wanted to manage us........along with a lot of other people.

Great! vastly Underrated guitarist.

So happy to see you are still going Stan. I remember some awesome evenings at the Gin Mill in Godalming, Surrey. You are a great guitar player.
I saw him there to it was a good venue every sunday !!

40 Blue Fingers has to be one of the best blues albums out there.
Yes Stan has been sadly overlooked when it comes to British blues guitarists.
I love Stan's guitar-play. Forty blue fingers- so so underated. Kudos Stan.
As well as being a great guitarist, what a nice bloke is Stan.
great interview☆ these players and singers from UK had great access to records and what not to greatly influence them wonderful

Saw him at The Borderline, London a few times before it sadly closed. Great emotion in his playing - I was transfixed.
Diamond gezzer, living legend & inspirational musician & showman, Stans made of hero material.

Stan the man - saw them twice back then. What a great interview. Gotta play 40 blue fingers again.
Saw Chicken Shack back in the sixties and Christine had a great blues voice. She was a breath of fresh air in a male dominated music scene.
Thanks for sharing this
Please listen to Imagination Lady. Love to Stan. Thanks for all great music.
The shack!!! Awesome

+Hugo van der Meer poor timing mate....Stan is an exceptional man, outstanding raconteur and very very humble.......don't knock him on one meeting
do have 4 lp's of chicken shack wonderfull music 👌👌👍👍👍😊
one of the few masters of the les paul, beg borrow or steal a copy of stan the man live, one of the great live albums
In the old days he didn't use a Les Paul, pretty sure it was a S.G, I used to see them lots at the Marquee and other clubs when Christine was with them, my band Swawrb opened for them in 1969 at the Village blues club in Dagenham, Dave Bidwell the drummer wanted to manage us........along with a lot of other people.
Christine didn't have a BLUES VOICE, do you know anymore good Fucking jokes?!?!😮😯😲
He's got a sense of humour, but sadly the interviewer hasn't!
You got to see him live. He is so dry.
The interviewer should learn to start a question without saying 'So'.
Anyone asked a question on the media now starts with 'so'...Thank God for Stan.
It's the latest stupid craze that highlights a person's lack of use of the English language, I thought it was just me that noticed it !!
so?
dont get it with stan webb he have not got a good word about anybody sour grapes alot of it
