Be Bop Deluxe Dangerous Stranger Live 1978

Yepp, its true Bills guitar is so under ratetd. FUTURAMA AND WHIMSY PUTS ALL THINGS TOGETHER.....HE RULES!!!!!!!

GREAT video !!!

Bill Nelson RULES!!

And of course people after the true facts will realise that the above should say '335' as Mudge says, not '3335'. I promise not to post ever again!

Too right - axe fans will no doubt (!) love to know this a Yamaha SG2000 - kinda souped-up SG-type affair (but with groovy split coils on the 'buckers - my old Sydney flatmate rocked one of these - man, she was great!!) Pedants (i.e. me) will also appreciate the clarification that Bill's No. 1 was actually a Gibson 345 - a 3335 but with flashy fittings and the varitone control. Lecture over. Love on all y'all.

Bill Nelson is undoubtedly one of the most under rated guitarists of all time. Saw Be-Bop Deluxe live on 3 occasions (Including the original Axe Victim line up). The music and lyrics remain ageless to me.

billy is a awsome guitar player and they all rock.

jimi hendrix,joe satriani,jimi page,eric clapton,david gilmour.These different styles of legendary guitar gods are pop folklore.Bill Nelson was as unique and great as any of these guys,only problem was that society never appreciated Nelsons genius.The GREEK!

Nelson was amazing. Thank you very much!

For those who thought Bill's soul was forged only into his Gibson 335, the Man rocks with any six-string harp at his fingertips.

I taped this concert off the radio at the time - 1978, I recall- bad reception, inferior cassette stock and some weird sort of shipping signal all over it. Still wore it out though. Some of this is included in the excellent Be Bop compilation 'Radioland-BBC Radio One Live In Concert' which was released many years later - and which I think is still available. Worth every penny. This tune is great - a total steal, of course, but who cares and anyway the solo is a cracker!

I remember this concert. The boys were supported by Jenny Darren if I recall. Fantastic Be Bop set list.
