I remember listening to the album until it had so many skips and gouges I had to replace it. But the old album cover was put up on the wall until it was fly-speckled and yellowed. Love Kottke and Fahey, but Peter Lang's compositions are simply magic. Hearing this again brought me to tears. It's time to replace the old album again.
Bravo ! Just wonderful ! I stumbled upon this great perfomance looking for a Video of pianist Peter Lang from Austria. Now what a marvellous surprise ! Thank you so much ! Favorite !
Never heard of you only for I clicked on this by mistake. Unbelievable stuff. Showed my old man and he thought the same. What is the tuning? I have been playing slide on my 12 string for the last week because if this video. Thankyou sir.
Thanks so much Peter for taking the trouble to get these videos up! Just fantastic to see you playing. You were the reason I wanted to play guitar in the 70's. You remain an inspiration. I hope you will keep playing for us! Thanks and God bless, --Bill Forest, VA
I once had an album featuring Lang, Fahey & Kottke... Peter Lang runs wide ovals around both of the others...Great Video & certainly it is under rated
A powerhouse finger-picker. I was fortunate to see Peter perform when he came through my neighborhood during this era and I was blown away by his power and speed which he so clearly demonstrates in this clip.
What ever floats your boat Hon. Obviously you do not have a sophisticated palate (and, how would you play this on the harp). Here, let me explain it: It's called "Bottle Neck"guitar. Lots of people like it.. . . and I guess some don't. If you equate it with disco, then I can guess you have never heard the Country Blues or Blue Grass, both which use the slide. Have a nice day, and thanks for the lovely comment!
Man, what an incredible musician. Thank you Mr. Lang for capturing the spirit of the North and transforming it into such tasteful food for the soul.
Peace and love from Canada.

Here's a guy pouring heart and soul into his playing. None of Tom Emmanuel's fannying around and stupid facial contortions. Magical Mr Lang.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
a ripoff to be sure - junky, noisy, ner3ve-racking; but, whatever turns you on
(i equate this style as pollution along with
disco) could be better played harp-style
