Harvey Mandel; World's Premiere Psychedelic Guitar Player rc

[joguart]

My favourite Mandel's tune is "Planetary Warrior". Please listen with a good stereo. Amazing guitar tone and amazing song,,,,

[HinknownUnson]

Billy Gibbons said Harvey was one his fave guitarists of all times.

I saw this guy Jan or Feb 1973 at a spare school auditorium in Monterrey, CA and he certainly could do the psychedelic 3 octave note runs until you couldn't follow them anymore... He was very hot on the axe........

One of the greatest guitar innovaters of all time! I love the shot of my friend Bruce Jenson at 610 the Budmonster.R.I.P

[magirecords2004]

Wow! Deep Purple should have gotten this dude,after Tommy Bolin.

[evets1968]

Who loves ya,Harvey?All z bestestes!

[willruddock]

He's not good he's amazing. Have you heard Cristo Redentor?

[djtdub1]

Harvey Mandel plays in a straight blues setting on STAND BACK! Charlie Musselwhite on Vanguard. 1966 Nobody was playing blues guitar like this except maybe Jeff Beck. Maybe the blues purists don't dig it but it's very innovative and unique in blues. The album has 6 vocals and 6 instrumentals. Near perfect production. Another album around same time is Barry Goldberg

BLOWIN MY MIND also on CD. The 3 played on each other's albums.

The Chicago Blues Reunion should expand set list.

What a nice video thanks for post it "randcrook"..hey folk if anyone her have a idea the name of the track,when and where was play it? in the minutes 1:21- 1:51 and 5:29..i looking for a little help from my friends!!!..thanks!!!

i can see jeff beck liked harvey too wow

[Smudgefizz]

Ya, Beck liked Mandel. I saw Mandel warm up for Beck in the mid 70's. I don't think the crowd had heard of Mandel. One asshole even threw a beer can at him on stage (missed). Mandel didn't look too happy the whole time. I think Mandel's Snake album is one of the most under-rated LP's. Beck's Blow By Blow was touted as the first instrumental rock guitar LP in '75, but Mandel's Snake came out in '72 (it only had one song with vocals). Mandel was also into finger tapping a decade before Van Halen.

@Smudgefizz Those fans must have been pretty stupid. Harvey played with Charlie Musselwhite, Canned Heat, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and The Rolling Stones and they thought he was a nobody. That's hilarious. You must not forget Cristo Redentor which is probably the FIRST guitar album ever made and the Holy Grail of music.

[willruddock]

I wish I could laugh like God.

[hotwheelz18]

I really like his style. I recall him doing a tune called El tonto de Nadie but cannot find it anywhere. Please help

nice job making this clip..Harvey is one of my favorites from way back,got to meet him after all these years at The Crossroads Festival...what a talent..

[reefrunner9]

Actually, he is a Celestial Guitar Hero....there..eom

[reefrunner9]

It all started with Baby Batter, given to me by an aspiring radio dj,,,,,the rest is, well..........what it is.

Tres  bon !

[Pwonts94]

this guy is pretty good,but i wouldn't necessarily say he's a psychedelic guitarist?when it comes to that and acid rock,people like Hendrix and John Cipollina are the 'premier' players >:D

[rogerrrubin]

No, boss. Harvey Mandel is one of the all time great fender-men in electric guitar history. So are Hendrix and Cipolina.. For example, Check out "Jimi the Fox" on Barry Goldbers's "Two Jews Blues" album which is available on your youtube

[FeitenFan]

@rogerrrubin - Jimi The Fox is Mike Bloomfield on guitar, not Harvey Mandel

[bkerbis]

Oh look, Shelley's cousin. Reminds me of Norm :-(

[warwithinabreath99]

my mom was good friends with the guy back in the 80's when he came back to the chicago area

[BulletWithYerName]

He's good, but I wouldn't say he's the greatest psychedelic guitar player.

[shrine52]

[tundradog]

Harvey is the man,I met him after all these years at The Crossroads Festival last year..A thrill for me..

[doogleandalix]

Major Harvey fan here - he is the MASTER !

Thanks so much for posting this .

He should be a household word but , sadly , is not - one of the msot underrated guitarists ever.

[wrinklyrocker1]

Nice compilation with decent AV quality & excellent content from this classic player, nice post!!!

[vingatondooda]

Thank you very much for this posting!

[Circuit7Active]

That was one nice video!!!

[shm353]

Now that's what I call "vibrato"!

[badbrad]

It's a damn shame more people have not watched this. I can remember hearing the Stones track "Hotstuff" when I was kid and blown away by the guitar solo's. How in the hell did he play that stuff...Also I heard Terry Kilgore say that Harvey taught him and EVH how to tap.
