Cortez The Killer



Rock and roll just doesn't get better than this:


The Dave Matthews Band, featuring the great Warren Haynes, on Neil Young's classic Cortez The Killer.

Wow. Damn. Wow. I heard this recording some months ago and I'm glad to find that a YouTube video exists. Listen to Warren's soloing and you'll see why I call him my favorite rock guitarist. Listen especially to the solo that begins around the 6:10 mark. Warren wordlessly conveys more about pain, rage, regret and hope with that solo than all the poetry in the world.

Wow.

I have the CD that includes that performance. :P
 
Definitely worthy of a WOW! Reminds me a lot of Pink Floyd/David Gilmour.
