He played with us almost every night in Chicago in the 90's,.a few years after this and he was fabulous !! He played with us for free,..just to play music...we were so fortunate to have the chance to jam with him WHENEVER he wanted to play..haha...Rest in Soul Music, Buddy ..I'll never forget those days !!!

cant stop listening to this, introduced to Buddy Miles in 69, never knew he shredded guitar like that until i found this a few years ago.

Big Buddy never got his due. He was dripping with soul and sang from a heart big enough to hold a dance on. One of God's messengers. Let's live together people!!!

Saw the Buddy Miles Express at the Fillmore in 1969 do Them Changes. First he sang, then he got on the drums while he had another drummer starting the song. When Buddy got on the drums for the bands solos, the chandelier began shaking, I never saw that before. After almost 50n years. it still is embedded in my mind. Awesome.

My word! I was completely blown away by this because I had no idea that Buddy Miles could play guitar because all along I thought he was a drummer so this took me by surprise and what really tool me by surprise was how well he played the guitar,I was in shock and awe at the same time when he unleashed those incendiary solos. He had soul in every kind of way.

left handed like the old time master JH

Force of nature singing and playing LH guitar, great funk rock song!

Buddy was talented beyond compare, but I didn’t know he played guitar, and left-handed? His tone and style remind me of Eddie Hazel. This jam does have a Funkadelic feel about it.

However, He was very well respected among his fellow musicians . A great Talent , Hendrix disciple for Sure ! Hell'va' Drummer ; but most folk did not know Buddy was a helluva Guitar Player ; as evidence in the video . Unbelievable . Buddy and Carlos were very Close also ! Thanks for sharing this Classic video . Bro. Ed

I had a deep one-on-on conversation with Buddy Miles after I filmed his performance at NAMM. He revealed that he actually vowed to learn left hand Guitar once his friend & gypsy bandmate Jimi Hendrix died

Having played with Jimi AND Carlos it's funny how many people freak out on this. Carlos plays as good percussion as Buddy plays guitar. Buddy has a really great voice too. 'Freedom' is actually his best work.

Damn. Buddy Miles Get'n down. I thought he might bust a stitch!

First of all I'm shocked seeing him play the guitar like a rock star and voice , forget about it ... he was an under appreciated musician , bcs of evil doers who control music , bottom line and its a shame , when you have idiots with half the talent promoted like something special when they're really garbage and Buddy Miles had talent on so many levels , such a great musician , great singer , great guitarist and drummer ...

Yeah,I for sure agree except I would not go nearly so far as to say "half the talent"!Our world is drowning now musically in soul-less techno/rap garbage.He was the full package. I was so happy when he joined Carlos for "Freedom" and by the time the tour came my way Alex was back and he's my least favorite.I saw Carlos 20 times and never got to see Buddy.There is an unrecorded tune in this concert called "One" that they played in Moscow-fabulous jamming and scatting-even by Alex who has good moments at least.

I can never understand people. They say such crazy stuff about Carlos they have to be Possessed and their demons infuriated that he brings up God so much. Carlos has jammed with thousands of musicians of every Genre and has how many 100's of Recordings? How many hours of instrumental guitar pieces 300? 400? Buddy Miles has ONE song that's any good on his own.
