I worked in a big club in the sticks in Maryland way back in the early 70s, and Pete van Allen worked there from time to time - he played Bass with Roy on a great Snake Stretchers album. We were all just trying to make a buck and play music...nobody was talking like Roy B was a legend, yet, but his name was around. There were some real good players all over the place - I often wonder about some of them all these years later.
Reese Wynans (SRV's keyboardist ) was a regular on that circuit).
I have 2 copies of this 1 is a board mix, the other is audience. The board mix only has parts of this concert. JUST curious, who posted this? Did you play music with Roy?
This features legendary Joe Bayliss on keys/ vocals. Roy continued to play this song for many more years. This is where this particular version began; It was actually a song Bayliss had been doing and the group needed a song to feature Bayliss, thus...
Thanks so much. Always looking for more Roy. His live performances are among the most memorable ever. Does anyone know how I could locate the PBS special about Roy. It seems to have disappeared?
Saw Roy MANY times in DC. GOD he was wonderful. The town cried buckets when he passed. His tone was simply beautiful.

The PBS special was how I was introduced to Roy when I was 12 years old. I was hooked ever since and was fortunate to have seen him twice.
