- "Hey Joe" from Joe Buchanan's 'Live From Austin TX' performance. Buy it today on Amazon amzn.to/1djXuNE or iTunes smarturl.it/Roy....
One of the pioneers of the telecaster sound, he was noted for his use of note bending, volume swells, staccato runs and "pinch" harmonics. He is considered by many to be one of America's most soulful guitar masters, and even 20 years after his death, he maintains an army of devoted fans, including some of rock guitar's greatest (just ask Jeff Beck, Robbie Robertson or Billy Gibbons). This performance, captured on the ACL stage on November 15, 1976, shows Roy Buchanan in his prime at the age of 37. Indeed, it may well be the best high-quality audio/video recording of his complete performance known to exist.
Astonishing I'm 72 and still blown away from probably the most inventive genius staggeringly underated and yet....in another league
a too well kept secret. Roy, one of he greatest. A superb rendition.
The director and camera blew it here. Unbelievable performance, and I'm looking at the crowd and a the guys head instead of all the amazing handwork.
He played that guitar using every element on the periodic table..
He showed the entire neck some love fr😂
Saw Roy play way back in the seventies in Adelaide, Australia. I'll never forget that concert, apart from the fact that it was my very first ever concert, Roy just blew that little back room at The Tivoli apart! It was just him, the bassist and drummer, but man it was a BIG sound! RIP Roy.
First heard and blown away by Roy on the radio 1975 I was in the UK Army barracks England Chillin at weekend Totally hooked snatching up all his LPs ever since..Amazing
The audience is just as mesmerized as I am! Roy is a phenomenal guitar player!
Why have I just discovered this man today? He’s a force to be reckoned with, his tone his gift of fluidity and passionate arsenal of technique and style is ridiculously incredible. I am floored at this man’s gifts.
That’s me- 8 days later!
Never heard of him before, either. Wow. Thought I was aware of 'em all. 🤔
His muted harmonic picking is so expressive. A plethora of sound. Adds another dimension to the notes and the overall sound texture
Your watching the technique on a telecaster by a master guitarist. I will never forget him and never have. Thank you for posting this video.
This is the best guitar player I ever heard...and I'm quite old.
Fair play big comment to make I had heard hendrix Gary Moore and others learned a lot about volume control from him
Very 1976 recording.... the gear, the players, the audience, the ambiance. Roy Buchanan certainly had a signature style. Killer guitarist.
Dear Mother of GOD!!!! This just keeps getting better over the years.....the crowd's minds are beyond blown away. Such a polite gang they were. Trips me out all of the talent that has just vanished....
I just loss my brother at 59 years old.This for some reason gives me calm.TY
Cel mai bun cantec prin care se exprima instrumental durerea sufleteasca, furia,lupta interioara ,alegerea, regretul, pacea si apoi succesul . ...cel putin eu asa simt piesa asta ... mai simte cineva acelasi lucru?
My god! the best Hey Joe cover I heard until now! ... With a such humility!
the greatest guitar player in rock and roll history the MAN who said NO to the rolling stones best of the best masterclass rip roy miss you
Rory Gallagher also turned down the stones
@@theherbpuffer Υes its true.Stones is a great band but i think roy and rory knew what they were doing!
I kind of wish he joined The Rolling Stones so he could’ve gotten more recognition for his playing
I had to pause the video 22 times just to look at his facial expression which never change. He has to be a robot. There's no one in the world that can express themselves or an expression. Without any facial expression, this song is about expression. Enroy gave us none but he made sure we feel and felt it😊
Unbelievably wonderful playing. The man stands there like a block of stone and a waterfall of sound flows from him!!
Beautifully put!
Brilant
A hidden talent the world missed out on
A true talent
Amazing player. Lucky to see him on several occasions in San Francisco. Winterland Arena. Always different in his emotional state. But at times during his set. You would be dazed .
Mesmerized.
Stunned.
It seemed hard for him at times to stay focused.
Yet, truly one of the greatest players.
Bill Graham loved this guy.
Went out of his way to keep him working but his mental state was difficult to depend on.
God Bless him and May he RIP.
The first time I listened to this song was something of an other-worldly experience. I was sat at a beach by myself. Had packed up my camping gear for the day ready to move on. But I paused on my way. Sat down in the sand, looking out in the horizon this song came on. And for sure I was in a special mood already; when the track started I felt like I was there, in the room with the people on the recording. I heard people clapping and whispering beside me, the collective excitement being expressed and still building as Roy took the first tones. I felt tears rolling down my chins and I melted together with existence. I felt myself fully. All was possible but nothing I could do could add to the experience I was already having, it was utterly abundant. As he continued to play I felt like ocean waves of rainbows washed through my body. Showing me the beauty of the marriage of myself and the music as we danced. I bowed to the universe and felt my whole body starting to pulse with love from the deep. It was all ok. All ok. Symbols started to appear in front of my eyes, a triangle with the number 17 stuck out as the most important one. I didn’t know just what was happening but I tell you it felt good. Thank you Roy. Reading what I wrote I realise it’s not that far fetched to think I was on drugs, but I was completely sober amazingly enough.
My god you penned it perfectly and poetically! I in my own way feel that way today with this man! I had a similar experience that you described being near the ocean and discovering JJ Cale!! To this day I recall that day every time I listen to him!! Today I’m on my patio discovering Roy while I drink coffee with my mom and watching the rain come down ever so softly and melodically!! What a combination! Roy will forever take me back to this day with my mom long after she’s gone!❤
I love how the universe works!!
I stumbled into this youtube video today.
Never heard of the man before.
Incredible gitarist.
Better late than never.
Roy was really rooted to the blues in both the traditional and otherwise sense. People who know his music always understand the innovation behind his style. I cant even put in words how gifted he was. He lives on through his music. Long live rock and roll. He really 😅 was one mean ass man
I bought one of his albums and it occurred to me this guy is up there with THE best. You can't play better than that. Geez....
Or the rest is up there with Roy!
Such clarity, every note as a single force. A superb technical craftsman at work.
It gets said about a lot of guitarists, but Roy has to be the most underrated player ever. I saw him in Phoenix in '79. I was blown away,
Do you remember the venue? I saw Roy twice in the Phx area in the 70's. I believe one was at Big Surf.
Sadly there is no record of his AZ concerts anywhere online that I can find.
@@GorgeousRoddyChrome I don't. I haven't been to Phoenix much since then. It was actually a big nightclub in Scottsdale. I think it had a revolving stage in the center of the club. I don't know if that helps.
@@Jimi_Lee
That venue sounds like Celebrity Theatre.
My memory isn't clear about the years & venues I saw him, but i do recall my response to his playing being the same as you: blown away.
Thanks!
I can't express how much this guitar sound moves me. I am as captivated by it as I am of Roy's playing. Perhaps much more so. I can't tell as both sweep me away.
About 30 years ago I had a tenant skip out without paying me all his back rent. Among his meager belongings he had a small stack of vinyl lps. one of them was Roy's "Loading dock". to this day, I still look at that as a fair trade. I never got any of the money from him, but he did inadvertently introduce me to this amazing guitarist. :-)
Maybe it was meant to be
You won that battle!
It was a fair deal. What you got was really worth it.
Haha, what a great story.
Yeah that vinyl is prob worth more than the back rent right now. Hope you saved that if only just to keep and chill out to ha!
Wow you know it a very special day when you get to experience that brilliance and feel.......well done!
No pedals or gimmicks pure TALENT, a genius use of fingers and volume control. Never been anyone to touch him.
You act like pedals are a bad thing 🤣
HOW HE GAVE NO FUCKS ALWAYS AMAZED ME
LMAO.. Even back then...
@Trashcan Troubadour He let Nancy do the singing.
@Trashcan Troubadour When you can play like that it is.
lmao best comment -thanks 🙏
💯💥❤️
Saw him play back in the 80's. Totally blew my mind as well as my ears lol.
I’m 55 and never heard of this guy till last week and I don’t know how that’s possible. It’s like just learning that there used to be black and white movies or something just as obvious.
brilliant guitarist. very very original your not gonna find another one like him.
The way this man bends a note, just wow👏👏🔥
Saw him three times. One time was at a small theater at the University of Rochester. After mesmerizing the audience with several songs he spoke to the audience to introduce the next song. Didn’t really speak. More like he mumbled. He struggled to get the words out. He was choking back tears. ‘’I wish there was a greater word in the English language to express how I feel about this man. The best I can do is say it is love”. It was a brutally honest very emotional moment. He then immediately proceeded to play his unique rendition of “Hey Joe”. There has been a lot written about supposed animosity between Roy and Jimi but this what I heard directly from Roy. I don’t know if he ever said that to other audiences. If someone knows please comment.
My man appears as if he’s in deep reflection while literally just wailing on the tele! Absolute fire! 🔥
A master craftsman - period. Struck by how he was so expressive with his playing - and yet his face gave so little away in terms of emotion.
Found Roy in 74 . At a hole in the wall record store. Spotted the “ Live” album, a picture of a butcher shop somewhere “ Buchanons meats” or something similar. Down by the river , Hey Joe , and Roy’s blues. I never looked back. Jeff Beck was a disciple of Roy.
There was a PBS special on him in 71 or so where he was introduced by Jerry Garcia
Clever use of the volume knob. Amazing performance and tone. What a player.
Umm, you're thinking of Beck if you mean while pulling strings. Buchanan was a master in changing tone between riffs.
Never heard anything from this guy till now and after hearing this I would put him up there with Hendrix and Clapton. Rock On my Brother
Clapton used to go to a small Washington club he was playing before getting a little recognition in the early 70's. Unsung master but a player's player. Played on early R&R records and worked with Dale Hawkins (Suzie-Q). Told a story of how they used razor blades on the speakers to get early distortion - in the 50's, about a decade before Dave Davies (Kinks) who many think was the first to do so. He got it from guys like Roy.
For my money, Beck then Page then Clapton ... each to his own.
@@dougporter2356 Rory Gallagher over everyone
He’s better than Hendrix buddy. Let alone Clapton
Just pointing you to Gary Lucas solo stuff very awesome too
Saw Roy in 78..bday present..American Music Hall..SF..unreal..saw him 6 times after that before he was murdered..RIP FANTASTIQUE
Murdered! I feel the same about that!!
One of the best guitar riffs I've heard Buchanan play. Right before Foxy lady, the small Hendrix tribute.A great musician who should have been up there with the best. That comes to mind every time I hear him play.
Ah but he is right up there with the best, for those like us who know 😉
Never really heard this guy before but he turns out to be every bit as good as his reputation suggested. Having heard Hendrix phone in versions of this towards the end of his career (as his fans expected him to play it), it's a pleasure to hear this and much more dramatic too.
Just when you think you know them all, someone as great as Roy Buchanan comes forth.
What a fantastic awesome guitarist....when musicians play with their heads and hearts
Music for the soul ... played with the magic fingers of one of the greatest guitarist of all times! Love me some Roy - forever a part of my world
good form kc,,,,:)
Roy DIOS TE BENDIGA
De esos pollos ya no nacen y los que nacen no se logran El megor desconocido guitarrista de todos los tiempos
This is what happens when you follow your own musical path.
Thanks Mr. Buchanan, for being brave enough to be yourself and sharing your vision.
Best version ever !!!
He has to be the chillest guitar master of all time, if you're going to play the guitar like that you have to be the guitar. Ive been listening to him for many years and he never fails to leave me in awe.
As an old fart that grew up in Fairfax Virginia I know exactly who Roy Buchanan was, saw him many times and sadly it's all over now
As long as his music lives, it will never be over.
Thx to the main guitarist of my very first band in 1973, i know Roy Buchanan. Nice to have video and audio footage of him that we never had seen before!
Easily one of the greatest guitarists who all most no one knows about
"Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain"
I get that but you don't have to die to put out beautiful work. I wish that he would of got some help.
@@waynebrown1394 I agree. Very saddened to hear his story.
I heard Robie Robertson call him the worlds greatest unknown guitarist.
I saw him in a 300 seat bar in about 1978 or 79 it is still the best live show I have seen and at 70yo I've seen some great ones.
i think that the first time i heard of him was on a telecaster forum praising his skill and i must agree , he made me buy a damn tele!
That's the first time I have heard anything by Roy Buchanan - Incredible,,,,,!
+Paul Rogers He is something else, my man.
Same here man, I just bought a telecaster and came here to see how it should sound....now I know all I need to
Don't miss the entire concert !!!
The bass and guitar are having a conversation melodically. Phenomenal
A musician’s musician. A true master.
Absolutely remarkable musician.
I think this is the best cover of hey joe❤❤❤❤
I love how his version is just one big long guitar solo but it's still so damned good
Gone but never forgotten.. Where do you think Van Halen and Slash were influenced take note play for life ...Rock On thanks Roy
Funny Mr. Beck one of the first big name guitar players influenced by RB is Jeff Beck.
No one made the guitar cry, like Roy you are missed so much man, RIP bro,
I didn't think anybody could be that good at guitar.
This guy was left off Rolling Stones top 100 guitarists...but guys like Bruce Springsteen & Joan Baez were on there. What a joke.
My understanding was that the RS top 100 lists are more about the most influential, trying to take an objective approach in their rankings which is why they rank Sgt Pepper as 'the greatest' album of all time. Greatest is a ridiculous concept, they're all great, the same goes for their guitarist list. Which is probably why they left of loads of great jazz players, I mean hell Django's not on the list! But anyway, I guess they're rankings reflect influence and I guess they decided Mr Springsteen to be more 'influential' whatever that means? He's got nicely composed and orchestrated solos but yeah nothing on Roy in terms of chops but as I was saying its more influence which is why Mike Bloomfield and Steve Cropper are there, not the most technical but influential. That was my take anyway
@@michaelturner4755 Fair enough- I guess I was just assuming it was based on pure talent, in which case Mr. Buchanan got snubbed big time.
Chiraff3143
Yes it's so totally insulting
By that logic, I'm better than Bruce on guitar but I don't give a shit that I wasn't placed. 100 guitarists out of the _world_ - they're not going to please everyone.
Bruce is there for a reason, but I totaly agree that Roy had his place on the list, way up in top 50. I am sure that was just sad overlook...this guy was major influence on Jeff Beck and many others. Most of the stuff Jeff Beck does was done by Roy and Jeff said he was "the guy" ;)
Unbelievable goosebump moment, so good Roy !
Pretty damn amazing when you consider the time death stamps on the two that started together. Roy Buchanan RIP 1988. Charlie Daniels 2020. I mean they made their first recording together. What a time frame difference in deaths.
I bought one of his albums in the 70s, blew me away. It's up in my attic somewhere..
I hate to tell you, and I hope it isn't, but if it's been stored in your attic it's probably warped by now...
Didn't realize he so had so much influence on me as a guitarist until I saw him play
A mad man but proper to be laughing and smiling at his own magical serene, melodic, innovative piece of art.. this man helped turned music playing into an art
The greatest Teleplayer ever! Totally forgotten genius!
Never get tired of this in fact it gets better every time I hear/see it!!
nobody can keep on living after playing like that!!
One of the best ever! What a great talent, he didn't need the Stones...
The Stones couldn't have lived with THIS....!!!!!
Amazing,I had never heard anything about him.He plays guitar...
All i can say is damn....thats guitar playin' right there man. 🎸
Its a pity music has lost its soul....absolute legend
Loved this version, thanks Roy.
Spent time with Roy back in the 70's
chitarrista favoloso sicuramente non conosciuto da molti ed infatti e' considerato il miglior chitarrista sconosciuto del mondo
RIP my brother. We may not have gotten justice for your death but you will live forever through your music.
Astonishing how rarely this genius pops up, somehow he seems to have lived in the shadows of guitar greats. He is a guitar great!!!! And the audience knows it!
Quelle finesse! Une interprétation hors catégorie,un son fabuleux par un musicien au sommet de son art.Y a t'il eu mieux depuis plus de 40 ans sans devenir bruyant et sans copier HENDRIX ??
Absolutely stunning!!! Breathtaking!!
My Telecaster doesn't sound like this. Have to return it.
Buy yourself a router,then you can put a Floyd and EMGs in it.
1953 Fender Telecaster. With Joe Barden hi gain pickups. About $75,000+
joynthis
Yeah same here-Lol
God knows your guitar will NEVER sound like this! I really appreciate your humor though. Keep it coming.
What an Honorable statement.... Hats off to you......
Teletransporting audience with sound !!!! Telecaster was defined by Roy! Hey Roy!!!!
I had an opportunity to see this God in Perth WA before he passed away . I am still hurting.
Virtuoso guitar at it's best. I am speechless...
Can't believe I just came across this man.
I'm in absolute awe, the way he makes that Tele sing is crazy.
Without a doubt a gem that can't be forgotten!
I've been listening to Roy for many years now, but holy shit, it still gives me chills every time, especially this particular version. It's almost as bad as ZZ tops blue jeans blues Live from Texas, that's another one that sends hard core chills down my spine.
...and the congregation said "amen!"
Holy mother of God! Insane playing!
I find Roy here on YT in 2012... shame on me. When i was 14, i think Eddie v. Halen is the best... many many years later i know, Roy is the greatest player of all time... and the most underrated!
Eddie V Hallen , be serious. Probobly a kiss fan too
All I know Roy squanked notes to the max like no other and when he played sweeeet so fkn fine, Like no other before and no one here today. So fine.
No one is quite like him. Thanks for posting.
This is fabulous
amaizing about sound and feeling
This is one of the most 70's things ever.
But ... as much as Roy is the most 70's thing ever (uh, the beret) ... his bassist is the most 70's thing ever.
Like you could crush him up and snort it ... and it would be like stabbing the 70's into your brain.
Like he's completely out of "70's bass player at a HoJoe's on a Thursday night" central casting ...
But, seriously, Roy? Best Tele player? He gets my vote.
Any music expert who doesn't recognize Roy as one of the best is Brain dead.
one of my best..RIP Roy
émouvant, superbe version
