BE BOP DELUXE SHINE LIVE 1978 Rhode Island

[m1ck1960]

Very few can be put in the same class as Bill, let alone be called better!

I saw them do this tune in 1978 opening for Styx. March 15 1978 at New Haven CT Colleseum. Be Bop was a favorite band of mine. Their opening set was really high energy. They were pushing the new LP, "Drastic Plastic," so "Shine" was the only tune of that set not from that record.It was their real stretch-out tune w/ changing textures, their trademark. A quick nod to the mid-1970s Jeff Beck sound, thoroughly filtered thru Bill Nelson's musicality. Yow, what great tone and touch!

One silly guy I know, say that Bill is not a good G player ????

He sucks!!!!!

Bill is the reason I picked up a guitar 35 years ago. Still my biggest inspiration

This guy is the most underated guitar player in the history of rock guitar. Incredible

[DMoots]

@Broadfieldpoint his tone is untouchable

[dutchiebunny]

@Broadfieldpoint You are so right! I've heard a lot of guitarists' work, but this guy is something else. Plus, he does a lot of intricate stuff while he's singing. So good it's scary.

[Richardjn1]

@Broadfieldpoint yes absolutely spot on - great feel and dynamics!!!

[PeterMayer]
