Link Wray I saw in 1979. There is a live album from that evening: Link Wray live at the Paradiso. He did two concerts in one evening to have the best recording result !times when he

Didn't realised Keith Ferguson passed away!What a character that guy was! Their first two albums are my faves.

@DjElSemtex ;

I was at that gig as well. Great T Bird show. Link Wray howover had his amp cranked up to 111..... had to leave after a while.

Have seen LW quite a few times since. Always a blast. Last show was Green Bay, WI. A few months later he passed away.

@LEEFORDJAGG - of Keith? I think the 'Rockpalast' DVD this is from, and a couple of Austin City Limits appearances that may not be available on DVD may be all there is.

Ok, then I was right with assuming the gig I saw was in either 1981 or even 1982... :-)

T-Birds were great that evening, all the old stuff played at maximum drive and volume in the best lin-up imho.. :-)
