anyone know what type of guitar he's playing? looks like an 80"s washburn with EMG pickups-but i don't know. its weird seeing a tele with a hockey stick head. Roy gets the best tone out of anything...
@naguiat1 - to my knowledge it is a 1953 Fender Telecaster (that was his most played guitar). roy buchanan's harmonics were often referred to as "sonic fuzz". you all know he played with tone, techniques and effects way before all the special effects pedals you see so much onstage, nowdays. I think roy got the best of almost everything he could ie: the comment "i know why i am here". they say he challenged jimi hendrix to a "pick off". jimi hendrix declined to accept.
Nice Post! Saw Roy many times with the Snake Stretchers. Worked the same club with him back in the day. When he played "everyone" stopped and listened.
The extra loud bunch in the audience at the beginning almost had me crazy but then Roy got to his lengendary masterpiece and masterful control of electric sound.Man the dude could play.The swails..etc...and you got guys like Beck giving a bow to Roy...awesome vid.
@SnakeSSSStretcher Thank you so much for uploading this incredible performance by Roy. The tape ran out but what followed must have been breathtaking...Roy was on fire here. The bad crowd seemed to inspire him. They were silenced when he went into overdrive.
This is in my top 5 all time great performances. Thank you again for this iconic recording. Peace.
I wish he was still alive... would have loved to see him playing

Fingers and frets on FIRE.
Never heard anthing to touch this. Would sell half my soul to hear the "finale."
It's a tragedy this genius performance has so few views.

Roy got high playing his music. We get a contact high by listening to it.
