R.I.P. Barry Bailey

Another guitarist I didn't appreciate until much later on. Highly underrated/overlooked. R.I.P.

This link was sent to me by a veteran guitarist who was influenced a lot by Bailey. It's from May 1992; homemade but sonically decent.  The outro solo is to die for in terms of exactly-what's-needed phrasing, and I done a double take at the quick pinch harmonics at around the 5:10 mark.

Willie, you started me off on a string of youtube videos and looking up ARS dates. 

What really sucks it that the current band is booked as the opener for an Eagles tribute act, complete with overpriced tickets.

...and the current band ain't bad at all . Justo is the only original member but Stone's been onboard for 36 years. When I heard 'em a few years ago, I was particularly impressed with "Conversation", which they stretched out into a chugging jam that reminded me somewhat of some early Grateful Dead stuff, like maybe "China Cat Sunflower" on Europe '72 which worked its way into "Know You Rider"

I like watching Steve Stone and David Anderson playing all the guitar parts.  There seems to be some freedom for them in the solos. 

Willie, do you know which amps Barry Bailey was playing through in that video?  There are Peavey and Marshall amps behind him.

I'm 99% sure it was his 50-watt Marshall, which was as much of a regular item for him for decades, as was his Les Paul Deluxe

The man had good taste in tools.
