*please look at my note below*

John Fahey (look here). His name and picture should be in the dictionary as the definition for the words: Guitar God. Even seven years after his passing, there’s no one out there who can even approach his level and style of playing. It’s not that he was only an amazing technical player, it was the way he played. John Fahey had an incredible sense of timing, just listen to the way he slips and slides all over the place, as well as a great sense of humor about his music.

This concert, from UC Riverside, is an incredible example of his playing. Keep in mind that this was recorded a long while ago, so the sound quality isn’t the best. But man, oh man, does he play the bejeezus out of these songs.

I’m trying out a slightly new way of doing things. I’ve amassed a pretty large collection of concert recordings in my time. So, every once in a while, I’ll be posting one in its entirety. I’ll post an mp3 sample so you can see if you like it. And, I’ll post the rest using the RAR archive format.

I’ll also be posting the song in lossless FLAC format. If you don’t know about lossless, you should embrace it. Look here for more info on an easy to use frontend for FLAC. I would encourage everyone to take advantage of the lossless format, as it’s much better (in my opinion) than the mp3.

Depending on how long the concert is, I’ll post it over one or two days.
