His attack was ferocious.


He was also so much more than a blues player. I love the last minute of the video above. He just rapes the feedback and Wah. Total sonic manipulation.

Yeah that's from the ACL videos. I remember to this day what FYE I bought my VHS copy of that thing from. :thu: Having the contrast a few songs while he was green from I think '81 contrasted to when he was in the prime of his life with the full 4-pc band is just awesome. I really like that version of Texas Flood too. It's not my favorite, but it's up there for sure. Even tho he's a guitard, he's the main reason I wanted to play a stringed instrument. It blew my mind that level of playing existed when I was like 12/13.

We used to watch ACL religiously when I was a kid. Back then, I had no idea how truly powerful that show is. He tore up the Newport Jazz Festival back when I was just a dumb punk rock kid and didn't know any better. I'm about ten years too young. The greats used to come through here on the reg.
