Finding the Roy Buchanan PBS video

bradpdx · January 22nd, 2008, 05:14 PM

Geez - with all the Google on the Interwebs, you'd think the e-tubes would be full of this kind of information, but they ain't!

I am trying to find a copy (DVD if possible) of the infamous 1971 PBS special about Roy Buchanan, "The World's Greatest Unknown Guitarist". I've seen clips but never the whole film.

I see several TDPRI posts that mention it, but none provide a clue for obtaining it. Searching the rest of the web leads to all sorts of stuff but not that.

Does anyone here know how to get a copy? Muchos!

Go to ebay and type in Roy Buchanan, there's always someone there selling a copy of that DVD.

I have this album. I think it's amazing. 'A street called straight'.

Actually, someone has it up on Youtube. It's chopped up into ten or so parts.
