This is an AMAZING show! And for '65! Think about it--the Beatles had just recorded "Help" in the studio a couple of weeks earlier. "Ticket to Ride" and "Yes it Is" were some of the songs playing on pop radio. Bob Dylan was still a few months away from recording "Like a Rolling Stone"
Here's Wes in Hamburg playing on a completely different level with a great band! I love the informality of this show...go see the other clips of this show.

Ronnie Stephenson was in Europe in 1965 with Wes. I'm pretty sure that it is him.
