Roy's voice on this is so right for the words - that tone of disinterest from a bystander to something truly hideous. So much dramatic power in Mr Buchanan's delivery, words and music. My guiding light.

Played on early R&R records and worked with Dale Hawkins (Suzie-Q). Told a story of how they used razor blades on the speakers to get early distortion - in the 50's, about a decade before Dave Davies (Kinks) who many think was the first to do so.

The first time I listened to this song was something of an other-worldly experience. I was sat at a beach by myself. Had packed up my camping gear for the day ready to move on. But I paused on my way. Sat down in the sand, looking out in the horizon this song came on. And for sure I was in a special mood already; when the track started I felt like I was there, in the room with the people on the recording. I heard people clapping and whispering beside me, the collective excitement being expressed and still building as Roy took the first tones. I felt tears rolling down my chins and I melted together with existence. I felt myself fully. All was possible but nothing I could do could add to the experience I was already having, it was utterly abundant. As he continued to play I felt like ocean waves of rainbows washed through my body. Showing me the beauty of the marriage of myself and the music as we danced. I bowed to the universe and felt my whole body starting to pulse with love from the deep. It was all ok. All ok. Symbols started to appear in front of my eyes, a triangle with the number 17 stuck out as the most important one. I didn’t know just what was happening but I tell you it felt good. Thank you Roy. Reading what I wrote I realise it’s not that far fetched to think I was on drugs, but I was completely sober amazingly enough.

Roy Buchanan could really captivate his audience ... 2:36 is proof of that. When I was a young lad, I bought a few Roy Buchanan albums, and when my mother saw his face, she said what a nice looking man he was. My mother's name was the name that was given to Roy's Telecaster. An eerie feeling now that I think about it.

Roy was really rooted to the blues in both the traditional and otherwise sense. People who know his music always understand the innovation behind his style. I cant even put in words how gifted he was. He lives on through his music. Long live rock and roll. He really 😅 was one mean ass man

I had to pause the video 22 times just to look at his facial expression which never change. He has to be a robot. There's no one in the world that can express themselves or an expression. Without any facial expression, this song is about expression. Enroy gave us none but he made sure we feel and felt it😊

The look of shock in the crowd at 2:40 is awesome. It's like they have been hypnotized by Roy.

I'm totally blown away! I've never heard of him until recently and I'm 57 y.o.. So, I'd REALLY like to know just how in the hell did the world of blues and rock manage to hide such an excellent guitarist !? This man is right up there with Clapton, Page, Gillmore, obviously Hendrix and several others and yet he's pretty much unknown. He must've used custom made titanium guitar strings and truss rod because I've never seen strings bent beyond the moon like that and the neck didn't break either!

He’s most likely my favorite guitarist. Sure there are more technical guys, but Roy was channeling something from the depths. Just something so emotionally precise about his playing

have blasted this roy song so many times in my 100 year old shack in northern ontario canada the deers love it .

47 years ago, I was 8, years old, loved this song, loved my mum n Dad, and the Allblacks, soon after, the South Africa tour, too young too know what the protesters where on about, I know know now, but still think , it made a deference in, a strange way, made NZ kind of wake up, so too all those protesters, at the time I thought were just dicks, I know now, thank you., You helped to make that change small in New Zealand, but huge in South Africa,,

Best version ever !!!

Roy was one of my favorite musicians. I saw him about 15 times. Even have him sign a Mets schedule from 1979. Still love Roys Bluz from Livestock more than any song.

Found Roy in 74 . At a hole in the wall record store. Spotted the “ Live” album, a picture of a butcher shop somewhere “ Buchanons meats” or something similar. Down by the river , Hey Joe , and Roy’s blues. I never looked back. Jeff Beck was a disciple of Roy.

There was a PBS special on him in 71 or so where he was introduced by Jerry Garcia

He has to be the chillest guitar master of all time, if you're going to play the guitar like that you have to be the guitar. Ive been listening to him for many years and he never fails to leave me in awe.

If you are a master of the telecaster, you are a master

I bought one of his albums and it occurred to me this guy is up there with THE best. You can't play better than that. Geez....

Or the rest is up there with Roy!

Brought a tear to my eye. God he was just fantastic .

Sickest Hey Joe cover ever done. Period.

I heard his tones, and I suddenly had to lie down. Lie down to just enjoy his gorgeous guitar speak!

Easily one of the greatest guitarists who all most no one knows about

My man appears as if he’s in deep reflection while literally just wailing on the tele! Absolute fire! 🔥

I’m 55 and never heard of this guy till last week and I don’t know how that’s possible. It’s like just learning that there used to be black and white movies or something just as obvious.

I was living in Austin when this concert was mabe. Can you image seeing Roy alive ? I am 74 Years old now, this stuff id GODmade.

Amazing player. Lucky to see him on several occasions in San Francisco. Winterland Arena. Always different in his emotional state. But at times during his set. You would be dazed . Mesmerized. Stunned. It seemed hard for him at times to stay focused. Yet, truly one of the greatest players. Bill Graham loved this guy. Went out of his way to keep him working but his mental state was difficult to depend on. God Bless him and May he RIP.

I was both born too late and perfectly timed. Too late to enjoy experiencing the music I love in it's own time. However I was lucky enough to be an adult in the 21st and have access to all the music I could ever want.

Love the way he just finished kickin the shit out of that Tele and takes a drink......all in a day's work.....legend
