Feeling a bit under the weather today, so I decided to post a video tribute to some of our favorite slide players tonight - hope you all enjoy this lovely little trip down memory lane!
First up the legendary and absolutely brilliant Ry Cooder, performing "Vigilante Man" live on the BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test in 1973 ...
Second on our bill, the ethereal, but oh so solid Bonnie Raitt, performing "Sugar Mama" live on Burt Sugarman's The Midnight Special in 1977 - she's scary good in this ...
And last up, but far from least - those absolutely lovable English boys, The Faces, performing "Richmond" live on the BBC's Top of the Pops in 1971 (featuring both Ron Wood and the late Ronnie Lane on slide) ...
Also, a bonus track I chose for tonight - which has nothing to do with slide guitar - but man, Ron Wood kills on the guitar solo in this live performance by The Faces of "Maybe I'm Amazed" for the BBC's Sounds for Saturdays in 1971 - and the rest of the boys in the band are crazy good!! They were all so young here, and so happy - watching this put a smile on my face, and made my day just a little brighter ...
Like I said, crazy good! ... thanks boys!!
