Shawn Lane - Once upon a Time in the West (Paris - 24th Sept 1994)

[bigblockelectra]

with today's technology a good engineer could remove lots of the noise and most of the piano, isolating the guitar, then lay it over a new piano/synth backing track

[jazzey69]

Steve from England..

[TheHornet79]

The solo towards the end made me cry. No other guitar player has ever did that to me....

What kind of guitar is that btw?

[melodic218]

What a beautiful and inspiring human being.

[1959child]

I waited for Shawn Lanes' 1st album Powers of Ten after reading about him in Mike Varneys guitarist profile years ago in Guitar Player magazine. I am so glad that there are a lot of performances from fans on here. A great inspiration to me musically. This piece is beautifully expressive and i am going to introduce his music today to a few more guitarists who 'need to know'. Thanks for the post.

[croinkies]

[ScottEmmonsMusic]

The influence of Jeff Beck upon a great musician.

[DiabloIIx]

[jacksonk12]

[MyShawnLaneVideos]

Sadly there is no official recording of this Shawn performance.

[fireflyfingers]

So much feeling, like he was trying to tell the world something. A true musician.

[kalapoka666]

Every time i see a shawn lane vdo i cry...tears just automatically fill my eyes...how is this possible...i feel like he was my own friend even though he was thousands of miles away...the hurt of losing a loved one...how can he not be amongst us??....i cry...

[novembre1987]

the true meaning of music. Shawn Lane and Ennio Morricone *__*

[baneluke]

simply more soul than this....!!!! no comment...PERFECT!!!! :)

[lauriemonk]

Is that the one where he says oops.. as the tape starts too soon..

[MyShawnLaneVideos]

Yeah, that's the gig,.... and Shawn runs back to change it. :-D

[lauriemonk]

Yes, I love that one... it shows a real human quality... thanks Willjay

[nenad1974]

I was at that show - I even have a signed poster from that day. Me and a friend of mine, we spoke to Shawn for about half an hour. He even sat behind a piano to show us how he composed and how he played some tricky licks despite him having relatively small hands. I also remember him telling us how nervous he was when Paul Gilbert asked him to play the piano for his wedding. Great memories. Unfortunately, the show ended prematurely because of his guitar - bridge problems, I think.

[lauriemonk]

wow man thanks so much for sharing

[trevskiw2008]

incredible story, i wish i was as fortunate as you were to meet him.

Thankyou so much for sharing.

I really enjoy hearing people's stories about Lane it makes me feel better since i never met him.

[sexandgromit]

@MyShawnLaneVideos Do you have video of that? That would be fun to see. I love Shawn Lane. Gone way to soon.

[MyShawnLaneVideos]

@sexandgromit  A videos of what? I can't see which post you're refering to.

[sexandgromit]

@MyShawnLaneVideos Shawn running back to start the tape after it starts to soon.

[walshy0001]

@MyShawnLaneVideos

he was referring to the video where shawn says ooops as the tape starts too soon

[DevilDave59]

Amazing

[xTiLkx]

Dude :o

1st song I hear of this guy.

[lizzert0]

he had more passion in his little finger than some people have in ther whole bodies........thats why i loved him so

[slimfinger]

i hear some roy buchanan in there too

[burnedoutgolfer]

Best video ever!

[benspears88]

That was among the best solos I have heard in my entire life. An easy 5/5.

[Shreddah]

So beautiful.

[janderson2000]

Best thing I've ever seen him do. Sounds like he was influenced by Uli Roth here.

[YngtchieMusic]

I love how the mention of guitar genius Uli Roth makes people give your comment a negative rating. People, being compared to Uli Roth is an HONOR.

[rzr77]

Words cannot describe how beautiful this is. This makes me happy to be alive.

[gunfart]

what is that exact model of sabre someone???

[MyShawnLaneVideos]

All i know (off the top of my head) is that it was custom built for Shawn. It has 24 frets (rather than the usual 22 for a Sabre).

[gunfart]

interesting. oh yeah they're 22. I got a charvel 750xl soloist a couple of years ago.

[MyShawnLaneVideos]

Lucky you....... That's probably the guitar i want more than any (750XL).

[gunfart]

Yeah I got it in a bad condition and had is nearly fully restored. Due to longevity I don't use it for work now. I now use vigier original which I got from a shop in Oxford. I got the limited edition black with pinky red sparkle only two made.

[augfive]

his awesome feel and tone is more impressive then the speed he was k own for

[LilyAnneSquirtle]

Shawn will always be my heart and soul and this song was something when he was alive that made me want to spend my life with him. and now that he is only here in spirit this song brings me closer to him everytime I watch him play it. I'm positive one day when I finally do marry I will project him playing it as I walk down the aisle. I cry because I miss him, I cry because I love him, and I cry because of the intense beauty. He is not lost to us but we are all changed because of him.

[Nilli4rock]

PERFECT tone! can't stop watching

actually I've seen this about 164 times.

[Trotz8bit]

Thanks for this.

In my opinion Enio Morricone's theme for Once Upon a Time in the West is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed, and seeing it performed like this is nothing short of incredible.

thanks man!

[kermheat]

Thank you so much !!

I was there !! Awesome week in Paris !!

[ConsrvativRevolution]

Shawn Lane & Paris all in one weekend......

That's a memory will be ALIVE FOREVER.

[crazyhuyman]

If I were to choose one musician to come back for just one day to see how much more that could've been, I wouldn't hesitate to answer "Shawn Lane".

[rzr77]

One of the most beautiful performances ever recorded. God bless you, Shawn.

[ExtremeBogom]

This actually makes me cry.

[bakinek]

he was great, cry

[sadmachine]

i can't stop watching this. so beautiful.
