I´m pretty sure this clip is taken from the famous "Rockpalast nights" that was being broadcast throughtout Europe sometime in the mid -70´s

I think the huge neon 'Rockpalast' sign in the background gives it away ;)

Thing is, Roy Buchanan is one of the gods of the guitar. This may not be the best example of his playing, but he is one of the truly gifted, and truly tragic, figures in rock blues history.

Roy seemed to enjoy playing that one!

@MELLSBAD If the local authorities had allowed an autopsy these questions wouldn't exist. As it was the judge ruled that the family would have to pay for digging Roy up, the autopsy and reburial of the body. There was a very limited time to do this in and the widow Buchanan was unable to come up with the cash in time. So now things stand as they are. Conspiracy theories and unanswered questions

[MELLSBAD]

@MrSmiley1964 would look different during an autopsey

[MrSmiley1964]

Genius and depression maybe. That would explain why a man would hang himself over some bullshit midemeaner charges. Of course hanging has the advantage of covering up some heavy handed jail house abuse. Cough"crushed windpipe"cough. They say Roy could be hard to get along with when he was drinking. Bad enough for a guard to punch him in the throat? Stranger things have happened

@Finnvikarocks this gig was on 2.24.1985

[RushmoreGerleve]

Too bad he didn't get his guitar in tune.
