Killer Tunes: Post A Song About Murder

[NNadir]

69. I must have seen him play live 25 or 30 times, maybe more, the first time...

...before he was really famous in a small university auditorium. He did Mr. Bojangles, solo. I was hooked.

He used to play with his electric band quite a bit at "My Father's Place" out on Long Island in his big electric band phase. I always used to show up as early as possible, because you seating at the tables was first come, first served. I remember one night there when he did "Sharon," where he quite literally made his guitar talk, during the dance portion of the song, "Then she looked right at me..."

He made his guitar, some kind of slide/electronic effect say, "Daaaaaaaavid, Daaaavid."

Acoustic or electric, solo or with a big band, he was always fabulous.

He always used to bring the house down.

He was great live, absolutely great.
