[MegaYoshitsune]

I'm pretty sure this is the show where Buckethead played the same day, just imagine seeing them both on the same day! Holy Shit!

[encguitarist]

tooo.. much... awesomeness!!!



[kylekodyrules]

What the fuck!!

[PhatLarkin]

Why does this look so weird? Like the fame rates too fast or something?

[algriff23]

I moved to Memphis about a year ago having known of Shawn through different folks including my old guitar teacher who knew him personally. It is unbelievable that a lot of people here don't even know who he was or that he was from here. Keep spreading the word about this legend.

@algriff23

It's because he lived under the radar, unknown to popular culture. I lived in Memphis in the 80's and 90's and saw Shawn about 15 times with the Willy's - a great bar band, but nothing that would catch national attention.

I view Shawn as the shy kid in class who doesn't say much, but actually knows more than the teacher, but doesn't reveal it out of respect for the teacher. He was a very special Memphian.

U can see as Shawn is playing that his hands are merely a conduit for what is occurring in that enormous musical brain of his, hi visualizes the notes and rips em. Uncanny, what a genius

[bigtimmy1100]

I watch this every day and every day from that point on my day is better, try it my friends. Love u Shawn

[MyShawnLaneVideos]

@bigtimmy1100 You're right, everything feels better now! ;)

[Kingding6]

This is so good on so many different levals, I cant even understand how good this is.

[XxXxLosLobotomyxXxX]

I don't know how many times I have watched this now but every time it almost brings tears to my eyes - it's beyond words! I'm pretty sure that they love Shawn's music at the other end of the universe...

[tonyross1977]

The ultimate in the universe

[ApostolGai]

One of the first Shawn Lane videos I ever saw, and still one of my favorites!

R.I.P.

[barbeq67]

when he starts playing real slow... you can feel something's about to happen, and then it just blows in your face

[asdjfasdfasdf]

holy fuck dude! i first read this but was ready to call it when all of a sudden the solo goes to psychocrazy fast forward

[SEMICHUCK]

best guitar player on the planet

[stonepolismusic]

On the "to do" list...get cybernetic implants to be able to play Shawn Lane solos!?!? Jesus Fuc**n Christ why do I even attempt to play anymore?!?!?

[sixtring73]

Shawn is a double edged sword, the greatest reason to want to play guitar and the greatest reason not to!!

[lovekurt]

Aha! Oh yeah!!!

Great gig!!!!
