I was lucky to catch a Link Wray show in Duluth, MN before he passed. His music will stand the test of time. It was/is RIGHT ON!!!

don't sweat the distortion-this is the only song that is improved by total harmonic distortion (if I could afford to poke a hole in my eardrums to make it sound even more raggedy I would)

Its all over when the fat lady plays tamborine!

Thanks for posting this. Link Wray was truly a pioneer of instrumental/surf guitar! May his music live on! RIP.

What would it be without hellacious distortion. Haven't heard many others make fuzz sound so good.



Sorry about the distortion. I shot that clip with my Kodak digital camera in movie mode. It was just overwhelmed by the sound system and there was no way for me to set the level on my camera.

Hey Jeff,
Don't worry about that, as far as I know it's the ONLY video of Link available at his LAST concert. So IMHO, distortion or not, it's historic.
Sure would like to see that tape Guitarmanix mentioned. Met a guy who went to the Jacksonville show and he was told by Link's youngest son Oliver that the tour was being documented for a DVD release. I hope Olive gets around to it someday.
