5.0 out of 5 stars I know there's at least 1 more video performance out there, April 15, 2008

By	D. K Newman (Coronado, CA, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've been waiting for some video of Roy for a long time. The video and audio are pretty good. Roy does some pretty damn good playing.
My only complaints are 1) Too short and 2) I wish cameramen would quit taking shots of the audience while he's pulling off many of his signature licks. However...luckily, this happens only a couple of times. All in all, I think this is a pretty good representation of Roy live as we might get, although I've seen several pieces of footage on YOUTUBE that leads me to believe there might be more out there. Anyhow I really enjoyed this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buchanan in his prime, pro-shot, short but sweet!, April 16, 2008

By	herb "nice name huh?" (somewhere hopefully) - See all my reviews

When the Eric Johnson Austin City Limits appearance became available I immediately wrote to the New West organization asking to make this available. I'm sure many others must have as well because they have made it happen, and it is one of the oldest shows they have put out. This is a real gem to have been released! Great quality, great close ups, great sound! Great song selection considering how short it is too. His playing is just incredible. It's too bad they didn't have more footage but it's great to have what is here. (32 minutes)If you are a Buchanan fan I'm sure you have seen this footage in bootleg form but this is great quality!. If you want top notch sound and image buy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique One Of A Kind Virtuoso Blues Guitarist, August 14, 2008

By	Luis Castro Jr. (Miami, Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This DVD is a great gift to those who appreciate superb blues guitar music. Until now the only official video recording available of Roy Buchanan is in VHS form FURTHER ON DOWN THE ROAD-ROY BUCHANAN, ALBERT COLLINS, LONNIE MACK. There are other unofficial recordings of Roy Buchanan performing if you are fortunate to acquire them.

I have never seen an artist like Roy Buchanan play blues guitar like him. Original and plays with such emotion that it can be felt by the listener. I can only compare Mr. Buchanan's uniqueness to Edward Van-Halen' s unique way of playing rock guitar.

Roy Buchanan plays a combination of harmonic pinches, volume control, country pickin and flamenco combinations in his blues playing in an orchestrated talented way. You will have to see at least one performance to understand what I' am talking about. Just watch the first song. An amazing guitar player who put everything in his playing including the kitchen sink.

I would like to see more official remastered performances of Roy Buchanan. I would gladly purchase these official releases as soon as they become available. I' am sure others who enjoy the work of Roy Buchanan feel the same way.

Mr. Roy Buchanan is no longer with us but he has left a treasure of his art behind for us who still are to enjoy. Mr. Buchanan has given us a great gift of himself. His music. For those who would like to know more about Roy Buchanan I recommend the book written of his life. Roy Buchanan: American Axe
