Probably a few blues lovers aren't aquainted with Roy Buchanan. Hung himself in a jail when he was 49 years old or therabouts.

Hi guys, love the blues,,, was wondering if anyone was into Roy Buchanan, lucky enough to have seen him twice,

Guitar players would come through town….hear about this incredible guitar player, and show up at the Crossroads (Tavern). Eric Clapton came and left with Roy’s arrangement of “Further On Up The Road”. Jerry Garcia came too, and was so enthusiastic about Roy, a PBS documentary ended up being made by Eliot Tozer and Joshua White…..the title was obvious….”Greatest Unknown Guitarist In The World”.

Not sure how many here know how to post the youtube videos without using a link. I made this post for another thread, but I will repost in case anybody can use the info.

Here's how to do it:

Firstly, this only works with youtube vids.

Go to the youtube video ya want to post. Look at the address bar at the top, lets use the link for the ABB, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CrBIK_E7kk. Notice the very last part, the part that follows the = sign (0CrBIK_E7kk). You want to highlight that part and copy it. Don't include the = sign.

Then, come back to the thread where you want to post it. You have to click on "Go Advanced" to make it work. Once you are in the posting part of Go Advanced, you'll notice a bunch of icons up top. Find the youtube icon, and click on it. When you do that a thing will appear in your window. It should have the cursor blinking right in the middle, but sometimes it will be blinking at the very end...I don't know why. If it is blinking at the end, reposition it in the very middle. Then paste that part of the link you copied right into the middle of that thing.

I always preview before posting to make sure it is working, sometimes shit gets funny...as in sometimes there are two = signs in the address. When that happens make sure to only copy what comes after the last = sign.

They just played "Mercy, Mercy", by Don Covay, with Mick Jagger on vocals, and Jimi Hendrix on guitar.......wow.....I never heard of that before. They must have been 19-20 years old.....
Just ran the PC through my big stereo, and am surprised @ the quality form a stream on a shitty connection. Even had real sounding bass.....Technology obviously improved since last time I listened to internet radio.....

Thanks Dan, went back, re-edited, too easy!

Personally I think that PBS doco is not too flash.

Oh Fuck Yeah! No doubt those are better vids, Smurf. Was that second video from Austin City Limits?

Here's a goody from back in 1970, The Allman Brothers Band (original lineup), live at the Filmore East, tune is Whipping Post. Incredible how young the boys look. For all the youngsters here who might not know of these guys...here is the wiki link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Allman_Brothers_Band

About one year later after this concert was filmed, both Duane Allman (blonde guitar player in the vid) and Berry Oakley (bass player) will die in separate motorcycle accidents, only a couple of weeks apart.

As far as I know it was ,,,

Dave Hole is in town tonight,, you don't have to guess where I'll be. Apparently he's playing an acoustic set,, should be different.

 

[Wiggs Dannyboy]

Never heard of Dave Hole, does he get out of Australia at all for tours? I checked him out on youtube, and I really dig his stuff. Such a weird upside down way of playing slide, he makes it fucking scrrream.

Do you know of any particular vids on youtube that are the best of the bunch? The few that I watched were OK for production values, but not fantastic...sound quality etc. If you could post a couple (you probably know which of his songs are the better ones..) for our perusal that would be great!

Oh yeah....have a great time at the show!

 

[RetroGrow]

Dave Hole is one of my favorites. He is kick ass. He's Australian, but tours constantly. I have seen him live in a small club. Was right in front of me. I have all his music on my MP3 player. If you know anything about newsgroups, there is a news group called alt.binaries.blues, where you will find every blues artist, free to download. You need a news reader to see them. Newsbin Pro is the best news reader, although Windows Outlook express or Windows mail also have a way to download newsgroups, but I never used it. "Easynews" is a good news server. It costs $10 a month, but in one month, you can download more music than you could listen to in a lifetime. Tons of blues on there, Dave Hole included. Been listening to him for 20 years already, after I saw him play live where I was living at the time.

"Down & Dirty Acoustic Tour"...Wow what an adrenalin rush, what a night!!!.. he's such a quietly spoken & humble man off stage,
but what a fck maniac with a guitar in hand!

Nice one Retro!.. yes he tours for 6 mths of the year then resides in the same suburb he grew up in in the hills near Perth.
I've attempted to scrape together some sort of bio...

Throughout the 1970's and 80's Hole was gigging non-stop around Perth and the country towns of Western Australia, winning fans wherever he went.

In 1991, after playing the Australian circuit for over twenty years, he self-produced SHORT FUSE BLUES, an album intended purely for direct sale to his fans. On a whim he mailed a copy to Jas Obrecht, then editor of the influential American “Guitar Player” magazine. "Magnificent, staggering, almost beyond belief. Utterly Blues approved. ... ferocious, fire-breathing slide ... What more could you ask?" raved Obrecht, who then tipped off Alligator Records president Bruce Iglauer. Iglauer, encouraged by his staff's excitement on hearing the album, released it to a world-wide audience. Almost overnight, Dave Hole became an international phenomenon. The album review in "Guitar Player" was followed by a July 1991 feature story which launched Hole to stardom.

When Alligator Records president Bruce Iglauer signed him, Hole became the only non-U.S. based artist in the label's 40-year history.

American critics praised Hole all over the country, and new fans were exposed to him through radio play on more than 1000 stations. Rave reviews appeared in Guitar World, Billboard, Audio, Spin, New York Magazine, The Chicago Tribune, The Denver Post and many other major publications, as well as on The Associated Press newswire.

And it's not just the critics who were paying attention. Metallica's Kirk Hammett has named Dave Hole as one of his all-time favourite guitarists, saying "His slide playing kills me”. People everywhere have taken notice.

When veteran rock and blues guitarist Gary Moore first heard "SHORT FUSE BLUES", he was so impressed that he invited Dave to join him on two European tours, playing large stadiums and arenas and concluding with two memorable nights at London's Royal Albert Hall.

Subsequent albums and tours of the U.S. and Europe have solidified his stature as one of the very best guitarists playing today, taking him from virtual obscurity all the way to international recognition and admiration. His explosive live show has won him critical acclaim wherever he has gone and invariably leaves audiences spellbound in his wake. He constantly fills venues to overflowing and then proceeds to lift the rafters off with blistering performances.

He has performed at countless blues festivals around the world and show after show have ended with rapturous applause. Blues Revue noted, "If this guy played with any more feeling, he'd have to go on Prozac.

Dave Hole is not only a superb guitarist with a distinctive sound, he performs heart-felt vocals with the depth and credibility of any blues headliner touring today ... hard driving rocking blues ... he is electricity incarnate!"

DAVE HOLE: "Normally you put the slide on the little finger of the left hand and play up and down like this. And I happened to break that finger playing football. I had to have a cast on it. So I came up with this idea, just while I was recuperating, of jamming the slide on my index finger and hanging it over the top of the guitar - quite an awkward sort of style, really. It took me about three months before this cast came off. And over that time it started to feel good."

Sorry for such a long post... I'll go thru a bunch of Dave's vids and post up a cpl of the best quality ones when time permits.
ciao guys

"Short Fuse Blues" is on my MP3 player....
I saw him in the early nineties in a small club, not knowing who he was beforehand. He blew everyone away and have been a fan since.....

Nice write up Smurf.

He looks like some ordinary guy that you'd meet sitting at a bar having a brewsky. Never would guess he's a guitar god. Fuckin A.

I'm droolin at the mouth for some youtube videos.....

If possible, would be interested if you can find any good ones where he's playing acoustic blues.

Just been listening to an 8 year old play with Buddy Guy. You have to listen to this. Blew my mind.......:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ix4TNJvVk8M

Fast forward a few years, and he's opening for Buddy Guy, and matching him note for note.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iuey8VfRF_Q

Listen to Guddy Guy talk about the kid who he discovered @7 years old.
Some incredible licks in here. This kid may have the fastest hands on the planet:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0arQCGUubA

And some more Voodoo Child.....he does some things on here that I never saw anyone do. He set's the guitar down on the stage vertically and kind of tingles the strings from behind, and it's an incredible effect.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVX1UR95bPA

Just saw this one when he was on the Tonight Show. Sound quality is really excellent here on some original material.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEsSU7I0Zps

Anyway, there's tons of videos on You tube about him. Once you see one you have the links for the others. Buddy Guy says he is the greatest talent to come in over 30 years.

Great thread and thanks for some of those youtube links.

My introduction to blues was Johnny Winter and some of the Rolling Stones more bluesy songs. Some of the best blues guitar I've ever heard on Johnny Winter and Live. This is a long track but well worth listening to.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTWPijy9DcU
I went back in time from there. So many great artists. Muddy Waters, Son House, Howling Wolf, Robert Johnson, Sony Terry. Hendrix does some great blues too.

Recently been listening to Skip James: Hard Time Killing Floor Blues, in particular. Quite unique sounding acoustic blues.Also Fred McDowell.
