It was a great honor to work with John so long,edit a record,book him and live with him,seeing how he composed 1983 when he moved up from Santa Monica with Pice. No one will ever touch this master of acoustic guitar. A very gracious host extremely funny .Robert Wheeler
Not sure what the first section is called but from about 2.30 on it turns into 'Poor Boy' which then turns into 'Steel Guitar Rag' all in open D tuning. Boy he was playing fast at this concert. Brilliant as always though.

Thank you.
Genius is genius no matter what the hair does

Alcoholism will tend todo that.
@@tylerbrandon460 or just sweat... I mean, I know he was an alcoholic, but still a stupid comment.
I actually think his hair looks pretty cool
@ 3:14 it becomes "Poor Boy" from The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death.
