I SAW ROY IN DAYTON OHIO.........I BELIEVE THE LAST PERFORMANCE BEFORE HIS DEATH...........I HAVE BEEN PLAYING GUITAR FOR 40 YEARS...
SO I CAN APPRECIATE A GREAT GUITAR PLAYER........WHAT I HEARD BLEW ME AWAY...SO PURE YET RAW AND JUST INCREDIBLE......I WISH HE COULD HAVE BEEN AT PEACE WITH HIMSELF AND STAYE A WHILE LONGER WITH US....I HAVE TRIED TO ACCUMULATE EVERY RECORD OR TAPE HE MADE....
HE WAS THE BEST, THE VERY BEST.....................DON LOUDERBACK

I just saw a video of Roy at Austin city Limits in 1976. Absolutely blew me away. The only 2 others in the same league are Jimi Hendrix and Stevie ray Vaughn. But his uniqueness and range of vocabulary on the guitar seem unprecedented. Amazing.

I never got to see him but I've listened to him a bunch. I recently got hold of a recording from 1988-08-07 Roy Buchanan (labeled the very last Roy concert).
It's great!

Living here in Wash D.C. I was fortunate to have seen 2 masters of the telecaster, Danny Gatton & Roy play several times in the 70s and 80s.Still see them playing their ass off! R.I.P Roy & Danny
