I loved it all the way - playing was great, as was Lonnie's voice. Too bad that Roy's sound was so thin and weak compared with the others with big sounds...
I'd love to have been there!

I have to say, Albert Collins ruled this clip.

I agree!!! Alberts tone was killer on that clip. When asked about vintage tele tones that is the one that comes to mind for me.

What is the swirley effect that Lonnie Mack is using?

Tom S · June 28th, 2006, 03:30 PM

Agreed on Collins!

Gives me a great idea for a new Collins Signature tele!

Oops, don't need two of these posts!

+1 on Albert. I will always regret that I never got around to seeing him live. What was I thinking?

Saw a Lonnie Mack / Albert Collins show at Toad's Place about 15 or so years ago. Both sets were killer. Lonnie played thru a Roland JC amp, I think. AC had his Quad Reverb set to "stun".

One of my fave tunes to start off with is "Backstroke". It ain't easy to sound like Albert, especially if you don't play like he does (weird tunings and all), but I try...

Albert was THE man, I got to see him shortly before he passed, it was a tremendous show.

Yeah, you know... the first place I ever heard that song was on a Roy Buchanan Lp. And that was kind of disapointing, because it was like he wasn't even plugged into an amp. To bad.

It's sounded like Albert Collins and Lonnie Mack were stronger players that day anyhow, but I would have loved to hear what Roy was playing.

Jim Sams · June 28th, 2006, 10:04 PM

To me, it looks like Lonnie was playing one of the Gibson Signature models instead of his old V.
Lonnie has always been under appreciated IMHO

Thats back when Roiy was using the Lawrence pickups and a SS roland amp.

To my ears that wasnt the real Roy.

Roy using nancy and a Fender tube amp on 10 is Roys tone anything else never sounds the same to me.

There's my bud, Tim Dummond on bass too!

Albert was the man, he played it clean and it cut to the bone.
