Summary: Unique One Of A Kind Virtuoso Blues Guitarist
Comment: This DVD is a great gift to those who appreciate superb blues guitar music. Until now the only official video recording available of Roy Buchanan is in VHS form FURTHER ON DOWN THE ROAD-ROY BUCHANAN, ALBERT COLLINS, LONNIE MACK. There are other unofficial recordings of Roy Buchanan performing if you are fortunate to acquire them.
I have never seen an artist like Roy Buchanan play blues guitar like him. Original and plays with such emotion that it can be felt by the listener. I can only compare Mr. Buchanan's uniqueness to Edward Van-Halen' s unique way of playing rock guitar.
Roy Buchanan plays a combination of harmonic pinches, volume control, country pickin and flamenco combinations in his blues playing in an orchestrated talented way. You will have to see at least one performance to understand what I' am talking about. Just watch the first song. An amazing guitar player who put everything in his playing including the kitchen sink.
I would like to see more official remastered performances of Roy Buchanan. I would gladly purchase these official releases as soon as they become available. I' am sure others who enjoy the work of Roy Buchanan feel the same way.
Mr. Roy Buchanan is no longer with us but he has left a treasure of his art behind for us who still are to enjoy. Mr. Buchanan has given us a great gift of himself. His music. For those who would like to know more about Roy Buchanan I recommend the book written of his life. Roy Buchanan: American Axe

Summary: Pretty good, but not perfect
Comment: Except for Royz Bluz, in which Roy makes a lot of nonsense (and painful) noise with his guitar, the material is strong. The sound is also very good.
Unfortunetly, the video is very short (only half an hour), and when it ends you feel like something is missing, i mean, you keep waiting for him to get back on stage and play some more...

Summary: Smokin' Guitar
Comment: If you like guitar music, you'll love this. Roy is one of the best guitar players EVER (in my opinion). The only issue I have with this DVD is that it is TOO SHORT in duration. Pick this one up...you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Telecaster Master
Comment: Although this footage was shot over 30 years ago, the quality of the video is as clear as if it were filmed last week! That, along with the "New Audio Mix" makes this a "Must Have" for any Roy Buchanan fan, or any fan of the Telecaster, for that matter.
You WILL enjoy this DVD over, and over again.
A real treat.
I envy anyone, their first time seeing, and hearing this.
It's Unforgetable.- JMc

Summary: Too Little For Too Much
Comment: It's great that a live DVD from the fine Autin City Limits people of the great Roy Buchanan has been released. But $17.00 for 32 minutes of live songs that any true Buchanan fan already has? No thanks. There are other live Buchanan things out ther that are longer and better priced. This should have been paired with another artist on one DVD to justify the price.
