"Hot Rod Lincoln" (the fun way!)

Bill Kirchen was the guitarist for Commander Cody and Hid Lost Planet Airmen. He still performs all over the place and is still a wild man. Nobody has more fun playing guitar than Bill. This version of the song had several riffs from other well-known songs thrown in. It's always a crow pleaser.

Tommy Emmanuel — Live at the Sheldon Concert Hall (2001)

This is the entire 2-hour concert. I was really surprised to find it at YT. The first couple of minutes are in mono for some reason, but then the stereo kicks for the rest of the show. Tommy's a terible hotdog and general ham, but he sure can play. So hook your laptop up to your living room TV for a couple of hours and enjoy some great old tunes played by one of the best.

Jerry Douglas (dobro)

Mark Schatz (Contrabass)

The Dixie Dregs Perform "The Bash" Live

I was shocked to find out a couple of years ago that this concert at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1978 was filmed. Like a lot of people, I had owned the live album that came from this show since it first came out but didn't realize that the audio was taken from a video feed. It sounded very good for a live concert, let alone an audio feed from video. Anyway, here is a country-ish tune they did back then called "The Bash" (although Andy introduces it as "The Wabash" for some reason). Boy these guys were good. The ultimate jazz-rock fusion band.

Hugh Laurie Live

St. James Infirmary (you might want to fast forward to 3:20 for the song to really get going)



Hallelujah I love Her So

Robin Trower - A different Kind of Blues

Nobody ever did as much with sustained notes as Robin Trower. I must have seem him five or six times back in the 80s to early 90s when concert tickets were still only 10 or 12 bucks. I can’t afford to go anymore. But Robin Trower just reeks of soul. Nobody plays like him. You know it’s Trower as soon as he plays his first note.
