This is a rabbit hole that's all the way worth going down. Roy is the best unknown electrical guitarist ever, imo. Keep reacting to songs performed at this concert and you'll see what I mean. This man was special.
the best part is the audience sitting back enjoying great music without cell phones ..without jumping around .. I’m so happy I was young in the 70’s ...
Back in the day I paid $6.50 for either Black Sabbath, Yes, or Deep Purple. The expensive seats were for the Who and Pink Floyd, I saw them twice apiece in the 1970s they never charged more than $8.50. Cheapest seats were at the Music Inn in Lenox MA, we paid $3.50 for 3+ hours of John McLaughlin & The Mahavishnu Orchestra then later that summer of 1973 it was the same cost for 4 hours of blazing electric Hot Tuna. Jorma was on fire as was Jack Cassidy on bass, their encore turned into a molten version of Walking Blues that was ever changing and 45 minutes long. Those were the days...Try Hot Tuna and their Live 1977 version of Funky #7, it is a killer jam like we saw.
Thanks for reacting to him fellas really appreciate. If you watch his performances he’s doing this all without a foot pedal. I think he was little bothered watching Jimi Hendrix being able to get the same sound with a box that took him years to master that sound. Because he’s playing with his knobs constantly to make that guitar “cry”. You mention a Latin vibe he was also trained in flamenco style guitar.
Now you know where Jeff Beck got some of his guitar tone from. Beck dedicated his album “Blow by Blow” (1975) to Roy Buchanan out of respect, admiration and gratitude.
I had a friend who introduced me to his favorite guitarist. He used to play Roy Buchanan as background music in a clothing store that he owned. He was not as popular as some other guitarists who weren't half as good.👍🏼🎶🎸
Had the very good fortune to see Mr. Roy Buchanan live twice. The first time he came to my college in New Hampshire and put on an exhibition that stunned me. The concert was in a nice small auditorium with about 400-500 folks, very intimate. He was the first guitarist I ever saw that could literally make his guitar TALK. The man used no pedals of effects, he did EVERYTHING with his fingers and technique. i then saw him as an opener for the Grateful Dead in front of about 40,000 folks at the State Fairgrounds in Lewiston, Maine, and again he was astounding. RIP Roy.
No effects nothing but respect ask the late great Jeff Beck. The master manipulator of the strings his tone was his and his only. This taped concert brought him to a lot of peoples attention. He was the first video I looked for when TH-cam came out. Legend!
Oh wow, Roy was phenomenal, he had other worldy guitar sounds come out of that telecaster, I saw him around 1980, he was co headlining with jazz-fusion king Larry Coryell and did they ever put on a display of guitar virtuosity that night. Try Roy's studio take on Hey Joe sometime, it fries my Bose Headphones! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
Many years ago in college I remember arguing with a buddy who said there was always somebody out there we'd never heard of that was better at something than anyone we'd seen or heard. Then I bought a Roy Buchanan album around 1971; this song was on the album along with The Messiah Will Come Again. Had to admit to my buddy that he might be right after all. Robbie Robertson from The Band played with him in Ronnie Hawkins' group in the early-mid 60's, and he said Buchanan probably fell out of the cradle knowing how to play like this; maybe the ultimate compliment from one guitarist to another.
Roy was one of the best out there. Never made it really big commercially like some of his peers but he was probably better than most of them. He could achieve what Hendrix, etc did without all the electronic devices. He played the guitar. He got his sounds from string bending and the whammy bar. A true master. Check out The Messiah Will Come Again. Unparalleled!
One of the things I like about you guys, is that you are not afraid to go after the deep cuts in the hidden gems. Most reactors copy each other I mean it’s pretty easy to see. And when looking at suggestions, a lot of times will go to Spotify and see how popular this song is. If it’s not too popular, they won’t do it because they don’t think they’re going to get the likes and the views. But so far, you guys seem to be more interested in the actual music, which is kind of rare and appreciated.
Thank you so much. We appreciate that. We definitely prefer doing the deep cuts more than the popular cuts. The stories and information behind some of those deep cuts are amazing to read in the comments.
Roy may be the most under-rated American guitarist ever. I didn't know who he was until I went to a small theater in Worcester MA to see Robin Trower, early 1980's. This guy was backing them up; at first impression I see this dude looking like my grandfather's golf buddies and I'm thinking oh great this is not what I wanted to see. Then he blew everyone's face off. I was an instant fan. Was broken hearted when he died. Suspicious "suicide" hanging death while in custody after a public intoxication arrest. I always thought he was murdered by the screws in lockup. He had head bruising and the county in VA he was in was known to be racist. He always had integrated bands, grew up a sharecropper and moved North to Chicago where his blues influences moved so he was a good doobie or as some a-holes refer to as a ------ lover.
One of the best blues players ever. He can do things with the guitar nobody else can. I've seen him live years ago in Chicago Park East I believe. Fantastic.
Probably the most underrated guitarist there was Roy was known in the industry as the Telemaster he’s one of the greatest to play a Fender Telecaster y’all really need to hear him play Roy’s Blues and his cover of Jimi Hendrixs Hey Joe his singing is more like he just says the lyrics and his Telecaster sings them do the live versions from this same concert from Austin City Limits
He has so much great music! I’ll take whole days just listening to one album after another back to back to back. Such a Virtuoso! Great choice and reaction guys!
Absolutely pumped you all are reacting to Roy. His LP "Loading Zone" has been one of my personal favorites since the mid seventies. His version of Green Onions is killer. Your Patreon member knows his stuff.
Very few guitarists are so astounding that if you close your eyes,s you forget it's a guitar your hearing you just hear music. Guitarists Martin Taylor said Django had that effect on him Roy has that gift
This man knew he was better that Hendrix and on one ever questioned it, just see him play and make his guitar talk and weep, nobody like Roy, one of the greatest!!!!!!
Thank you again for the great, great choices you guys make. Your observations are usually spot on too. You guys are my new favorite reaction channel. Keep it up.
Roy Buchanan is considered one of the greatest guitarists ever. No Pedals, no Gadgets, just bending and shedding like no one else. You should give him a try. You will see why he is a legend and innovator. Listen to his version of Hey Joe, The Messiah Will Come Again, In the Heat of Battle, Roy's Bluz: Roy was one of the best rock and blues guitarists of our time and known as the master of the Telecaster. He was often called “the world’s best unknown guitarist.” Guitar Player magazine has rated him as having one of the “50 Greatest Tones of All Time.” Read any Roy Buchanan bio, and you will find quoted praises from Jeff Beck, "I wish I had his talent", Gary Moore (who adored him and played The Messiah as a homage to him), SRV ("I have every record he's ever made, and still can't figure it out") some of the best guitar slingers that have walked this planet all say the same thing. More Roy Buchanan. Please play Gary Moore - Parisienne Walkways and Still Got The Blues; both have lyrics with interludes of guitar solos that are otherworldly. He paints a picture in your mind with his voice and music. Excellent stuff - keep up the hard work; y'all are greatly appreciated.
One of the GOAT telebender's! Roy (and Nancy, his blackguard Fender Telecaster) is a hugely influential musician, especially his use of tone and volume pot swells and behind the nut bends (as you said, "sounds like a violin"). I've heard a great number of top tier pickers cite him as an influence, especially Robbie Robertson of The Band. Great choice!
Roy Buchanan was a tragic figure, he struggled with alcohol problems and took his own life in a police cell aged 48. A rare talent often overlooked but, should be revered as much as Hendrix SRV and Beck
Ohhh Mr Buchanan. Just make that guitar sing. Ohhh down by the river , Supernova, my Baby Just to name a few. Hey lucky patron member. Parties must be a blast!!!!!
PBS has a documentary called the greatest guitarist you never heard of its the story of Roy's life very interesting and sad how he never got the recognition he deserved its worth the watch
He's doing an 'envelope' technique that takes the attack out of his guitar notes - roll down the volume knob, pluck string, then roll up the volume on the already vibrating string. Yep, sounds like a string being bowed on a violin, viola, cello, depending on the register the guitar's being played in. They also make guitar pedals that eliminate the attack on the string and 'roll in' the note(s). The trick in practicing this and getting it right is getting the note to speak on top of the beat that it's intended for...the guitarist having to pick the note slightly ahead of the beat.
If you guys are interested in hearing the best guitarist in the world according to Jiminy hendrix then glcheck out rory gallagher . He is an Irish artist from the 70s . I suggest as the crow flies live or bad Penny live . With rory it's gotta be live

There response " This is cool as hell today, let alone back then"!
The Master of the Telecaster. I was lucky to see him live in Fort Lauderdale 2 weeks prior to him hanging himself in a Virginia Jail Cell. He kicked as at that concert.
This song was first made popular by Patsy Cline! Your comments cracked me up, latin,etc. Patsy was a very popular country singer in the 50's. I was shocked when I figure this out after listening to it about 30 or 40 times. Another one of her songs you might have heard was "Crazy" which was written by Willie Nelson!
Roy was a monster who influenced players like Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck. Roy could not sing but his guitar was so good nobody cared. That old telecaster plugged straight into a Fender amp had a glorious sound.
You should get Roy Buchannon with Delbert Mclinton. A good song is "Can I Change My Mind" or "The Chokin Kind". Roys a blues player. He was Merle Haggards guitar player years ago too.
A NICKEL AND A NAIL with Otis Cly was my favorite Roy song for about 20 years, till FIVE STRING BLUES took it over, Patsy Cline made SWEET DREAMS famous.
So weird your subscriber count and views are going up but you are not begging for everyone to like and subscribe. One of the reasons I love your channel and of course great music and reactions.
He was an amazing guitaritst to put it mildly. This is not one of my favorites of his. He does a great job on the Neil Young song "Down By The River". Thanks for reacting to this gifted artist. Great job, guys. Take care.
Jeff Beck with his Strat, then Roy Buchanan with his “Nancy” Telecaster; two guitar geniuses in a row! I had the privilege of seeing him live many decades ago. Keep it up, bros!

This is a rabbit hole that's all the way worth going down. Roy is the best unknown electrical guitarist ever, imo. Keep reacting to songs performed at this concert and you'll see what I mean. This man was special.
Another killer song choice, you guys are digging up the real gems and it's awesome. Peace and love ☮️
the best part is the audience sitting back enjoying great music without cell phones ..without jumping around .. I’m so happy I was young in the 70’s ...
And I bet the tickets weren’t $300 for nose bleed seats like they are now.
@@AirplayBeats true.. I usually paid $5 for a concert ticket... Rory Gallagher is an Irish blues guitarist...check him out you will enjoy...
Back in the day I paid $6.50 for either Black Sabbath, Yes, or Deep Purple. The expensive seats were for the Who and Pink Floyd, I saw them twice apiece in the 1970s they never charged more than $8.50. Cheapest seats were at the Music Inn in Lenox MA, we paid $3.50 for 3+ hours of John McLaughlin & The Mahavishnu Orchestra then later that summer of 1973 it was the same cost for 4 hours of blazing electric Hot Tuna. Jorma was on fire as was Jack Cassidy on bass, their encore turned into a molten version of Walking Blues that was ever changing and 45 minutes long. Those were the days...Try Hot Tuna and their Live 1977 version of Funky #7, it is a killer jam like we saw.

Got to see Roy a couple of times in the 70s.
RIP, Roy. Thank You.
Now you know where Jeff Beck got some of his guitar tone from.
Beck dedicated his album “Blow by Blow” (1975) to Roy Buchanan out of respect, admiration and gratitude.
True, and Roy responded by writing a song titled My Friend Jeff. I could be wrong, but I don’t think they ever met.
Wow that was sweet all the sleepy weeping bends I mean that was low key brilliant never heard that before that was amazing
I had a friend who introduced me to his favorite guitarist. He used to play Roy Buchanan as background music in a clothing store that he owned. He was not as popular as some other guitarists who weren't half as good.👍🏼🎶🎸

I've been a big Roy Buchanan fan for years. One of the great yet unknown to many, guitar players of all time.
No effects nothing but respect ask the late great Jeff Beck. The master manipulator of the strings his tone was his and his only. This taped concert brought him to a lot of peoples attention. He was the first video I looked for when TH-cam came out. Legend!
"Roys Blues" is awesome guitar playing. His guitar is fire.
This piece was the music that was played during the credits of the movie "The Departed"
Also Roy Buchanan-------"When a guitar plays the blues"
His feel and control is amazing. Thats the real deal!
Roy is da man! From this concert:
Hey Joe
Roy’s Blues
The Messiah Will Come Again
🎸 🔥
Probably the most badass, under the radar guitarist in Americana.
Roy Buchanan, great! You don't see that very often. Thx.
Oh wow, Roy was phenomenal, he had other worldy guitar sounds come out of that telecaster, I saw him around 1980, he was co headlining with jazz-fusion king Larry Coryell and did they ever put on a display of guitar virtuosity that night.

No one in history could do more with a volume knob than Roy. People call him the king of the Tele and I haven't heard anyone argue against it.
He's been my favorite guitarist for over 40 years, SECOND ALBUM is the best piece of music I own.
This song was my intro to Roy, 45 years ago, it's played at the end of The Departed, FIVE STRING BLUES is my pick.
Most overlooked guitar genius.
Absolutely pumped you all are reacting to Roy. His LP "Loading Zone" has been one of my personal favorites since the mid seventies. His version of Green Onions is killer. Your Patreon member knows his stuff.
In 1971, (PBS) aired a documentary called Introducing Roy Buchanan! (sometimes referred to as The World’s Greatest Unknown Guitarist.)
Very few guitarists are so astounding that if you close your eyes,s you forget it's a guitar your hearing you just hear music. Guitarists Martin Taylor said Django had that effect on him Roy has that gift
Gotta listen to Roy's album Livesock. Live in a club in NYC...CLASSIC!

MY FAVORITE GUITARIST FOR OVER 40 YEARS.
Released in 1972, on his first album, this song was my introduction to Roy Buchanan, around 1980, Roy wasn't mainstream, he was underground.
More Roy please. Until next time stay well and poppin for fresh
When a player is a stated influence on Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray Vaughn , you know he is something special...
Beautiful.

How he died has always been up to speculation. Not everyone thinks he took his own life.
Ohhh Mr Buchanan.
Just make that guitar sing.
Ohhh down by the river ,
Supernova, my Baby
Just to name a few.
Hey lucky patron member. Parties must be a blast!!!!!
Great old song from 1955 by Don Gibson. Roy Buchanan is a great guitarist.
GOOSE GREASE, COUNTRY BOY, NICKEL AND A NAIL, THAT DID IT, all Great.

I was never a big Roy fan but there no doubt the master guitar talent he had.
Almost a whimsical take on a jazzy blues prog lots of character nice listen
saw him perform 1975 in Ontario Canada
Check out Roy’s Blues from the same show. He goes OFF!!
Perfect time to watch Gary Moore "The Messiah Will Come Again", which is a Roy Buchanan original. Truly unbelievable.
Yes!!
If you guys are interested in hearing the best guitarist in the world according to Jiminy hendrix then glcheck out rory gallagher .
He is an Irish artist from the 70s . I suggest as the crow flies live or bad Penny live . With rory it's gotta be live

He put out 3 really good albums in the mid 80's.

Curtis - Mayfield- Superfly ( 72) 🔥
Title track from the groundbreaking soundtrack. Talking social issues of the day and a Funky masterpiece. 🔥 No one would agree more than Roy who are hugely influenced by the likes of Mayfield and others
Just got another reactor to check.
There response " This is cool as hell today, let alone back then"!
Thanks for the suggestion Zander!
Roy, Arlen Roth, Albert Lee,.great players
Check out, Roy Buchanan’s cover of can I change my mind. You’ll hear him saying on this old Tyrone Davis tune.
That's an old Patsy Cline song. It was also featured in the soundtrack to "The Departed"
Damn idk how you got here, but before you leave, "Hey Joe" by Roy, the live performance. GOAT stuff.
Same performance as this video actually.
The Master of the Telecaster. I was lucky to see him live in Fort Lauderdale 2 weeks prior to him hanging himself in a Virginia Jail Cell. He kicked as at that concert.
Don't miss "Can I Change My Mind" from the Livestock Stock album, and throw in Hot Cha for good measure. Absolutely life changing!
This song was first made popular by Patsy Cline! Your comments cracked me up, latin,etc. Patsy was a very popular country singer in the 50's. I was shocked when I figure this out after listening to it about 30 or 40 times. Another one of her songs you might have heard was "Crazy" which was written by Willie Nelson!
Great blues man his best is Roy's blues sad end for him dead in the cell greatly missed
Maybe some Robin Trower as in Bridge of Sighs? Love listening to Roy B.!
I got to see Roy open up for Stevie Ray Vaughan. Good lord, what a great show. You should do Funky Mama by Danny Gatton.
Y'all gotta check out 'Ramons' Blues' by Roy Buchanan! It's a great song! I think you'll like it!
Roy was a monster who influenced players like Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck. Roy could not sing but his guitar was so good nobody cared. That old telecaster plugged straight into a Fender amp had a glorious sound.
Imagine being so good you turn down playing for the stones
Another one of his songs I really like is " The River" by Neil Young. Roy tragicly died in jail after being arrested for drunk in public....... RIP!
No peddles. Only Roy’s finger amp and his Tele Nancy
You should get Roy Buchannon with Delbert Mclinton. A good song is "Can I Change My Mind" or "The Chokin Kind". Roys a blues player. He was Merle Haggards guitar player years ago too.
Roy FIVE STRING BLUES.
Guys.. you have to check Roy out doing Jimi Hendrix's "Hey Joe" from this show!!! 💯🔥🔥🤯🔥🔥💯
Definitely have to check that out.
Yes
Awesome! You guys just won't believe it!! 💯
You need to hear his version of Hey Joe from the album. Different, but awesome.
To me, he’s one of the guys that’s on the mountain with Stevie Ray!
NO PEDALS, NO GADGETS.
Have you checked out his cover of Hey Joe from the same concert? Studio version is good too
A NICKEL AND A NAIL with Otis Cly was my favorite Roy song for about 20 years, till FIVE STRING BLUES took it over, Patsy Cline made SWEET DREAMS famous.
Do When a Guitar Plays The Blues next

Good day guys, have you seen Kansas do their MONSTER off the Leftoverture album "Magnum Opus"
I have not. I think it’s time to jump into Kansas
TALENT... Massive TALENT.... you will agree
@@AirplayBeats I've seen them live 4 times and recorded two shows. MIND BLOWERS
I suggest the album version first, then the live Two For The Show version.... Both are awesome.

Hey Joe :)
So weird your subscriber count and views are going up but you are not begging for everyone to like and subscribe. One of the reasons I love your channel and of course great music and reactions.
Thank you so much for rocking with us!!
A master at his craft but that Telecaster could split a wild dog.
Now do “Roy’s Blues”
He was an amazing guitaritst to put it mildly. This is not one of my favorites of his. He does a great job on the Neil Young song "Down By The River". Thanks for reacting to this gifted artist. Great job, guys. Take care.
I hope you get around to his version of Hey Joe.
Have you guys reacted to Joe Bonamassa's 'Blues Deluxe' if you can. That would be great.
Roy isn't known for his singing. He usually has someone else handling the vocals.
DEFINITELY not the song to showcase this beast. "Roy Buchanan Bluz" is the one.
Sounded a little country to me.
Nothing wrong with that. He was also an incredible blues guitarist.
@@esdel1955 I thought it was good, just sounded a little bit country to me.
