Saw Danny many times. He was a great guy.  Truly one of the most amazing guitar players ever.  He could literally play any style with ease.  He had very eclectic taste in music.  He incorporated it all in his music.  Really miss him.  One of the saddest days ever was when he left us. RIP Danny.

Never heard this before. I could have sworn it was Brian Setzer until I looked.
Quite excellent!

Wow, man, wow!!! {#Notworthy} So amazed to hear something played so well "live" without any recording trickery of any kind way back when. Danny Gatton is one of the unsung guitar heroes who pushed the bar way beyond the limits of his time.

Danny provided me with some of the best musical experiences of my life. Very fortunate to live in the D.C. area at a time when seeing live music was the most important thing in my life and Danny seemed to be playing in a club every weekend. To see someone that gifted so close up and often was truly a priveledge. I miss him and those times dearly.

That's the point of the digital delay below. What Paul did with multitracking—not to mention playing flawless, blazing fast passages—Gatton could do live with a digital delay. Very cool. We love technology. We loved Danny Gatton even more. Shameful loss.

I knew he died; I wasn't aware that it was suicide; very sad indeed.
I had the privilege of seeing him live in a tiny club here in Vancouver. He was the opening act for Joe Walsh, of all people. Gatton was incredible. Amazing guitarist and an equally good showman. To say he blew Joe Walsh off the stage is an understatement. Walsh was so drunk he could barely stand, much less play, but everyone in attendance felt they got their money's worth from Danny Gatton's performance. R.I.P. DG.

Holy Cow, never expected to hear this one anywhere. This guy was know in the DC area as 'the greatest guitar player no one has ever heard of'.
 
I think the "greatest guitar player no one ever heard of" tag was after a PBS program about Roy Buchanan.  They were both busy in the bars of DC.  That was how many years ago now?  Nevermind.

Excellent! I've got a feeling that Brian Setzer must have a lot of his records! Beautiful picking.
