I saw him at wills on mills 8 years ago. It was unbelievable. He had a 15 piece orchestra backing him. He was the real deal. I am glad that I experienced his music live. I will miss him greatly. Screw you WANGOBANGODANGO! you ignorant F^ck. if there was a hell, you would rot there. We are just worm food.
Love that these cats aren't hung up on using trad guitar tones like upright and the jazz archtop with flatwounds. Swinging with progressive instrument tones is cool.
Great clip - the audio is excellent too! I found this by looking for some Darryl Thompson footage. I met him a few times in the 80's when he was with Eddie Harris... great player as well as a great guy! Thanks for posting!
Rael was born a modern player. He was always incredible. He is a great guy too. He plays much like his personality... his intelligence and uniqueness is his charm :)

R.I.P. Sam.
Saw this very line-up in probably the same year as this video was shot.
Great musician who always did his own thing and stayed away from the mainstream because he wouldn't compromise.

Darryl Thompson I believe I saw with Black Uhuru in the mid 80s; unless I'm seriously mistaken.

You are quite right. Thompson played with Black Uhuru and Peter Tosh.
