Only 20k views?? Sad!! Arlen is one of the sickest guitarist out there (.43 of the video made me pee my pants) I would love to see him do a set in a little place like 3rd and Lindsley. ;-)
I was at this perfornace that evening. My wife and I were at the table right next to "stage left", or on the right side of this video. Needless to say we had an up-close and personal view of all his and his band's gear...The evening performance was awesome!
As I have always said, Arlen is the MAN when it comes to just wonderful, soulful, guitar. I know, there are many greats out there, but for decades I have seen many, and still put him up there with the very, very best.
My friend Dick Middleton does this with his band- vocals + his Roy Buchanan style guitar. Dick had a guitar shop (Guildford, England) and one day Arlen Roth called in- Dick was out! He was so annoyed- Arlen said he had been told that if he was ever near he should call in- and he did!
Arlen Roth is a creative son of a gun and a true gentelman.

I go periods of time and forget about Arlen. But, MAN can he play. This was GREAT. He's among the greats for sure.

@Richeray Coooool! Looks like Arlen Roth, the rocker, morphed into a tele-master ala Danny Gatton!
