From the July 1986 at the Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts in Vienna, Virginia. Haven't been able to find this still available for purchase, so decided to post these finally.

Tuning: Harp Strings G1Bb1C2A1D2, Guitar E2A2D3E3A3D4.

See http://www.nomadland.com/ for information on Hedges and a fund for his children.

  • The whole audience is high.

  • @darkeyeballs *facepalm*

  • They killed him with cancer because he refused to play their evil game

  • wish i could have seen this man play live. it looks like an incredible experience

  • I saw him live, twice, at the Palmyra Arts Festival in Pennsylvania. He played at the high school two years running - we figured he made a mistake the first time around, so we were really surprised he came back the following year and wowed us again. Dude was totally about sharing the music, and played every bit as intensely for us as for a crowd of thousands. I guess that tells us why the music was so good - the musician was a rare character indeed :)

  • I went to sleep listening this, and had a dream that i was god creating the universe out of light, to this song.

  • 5 texans disliked this video.

  • I was lucky enough to get introduced to him (via a Steve Vai interview, believe it or not) when I was 14 (1992) so I had a few years to enjoy him before he died. Do yourself a favor and buy the Taproot album. Astonishing stuff.

  • He died way too soon...

  • What an incredable journey he takes you on in this song.You can feel the energy of motion throughout the entire piece.
