Link Wray "Record Plant" Sausalito, CA 9/25/1974

Wray did this in-studio live broadcast in an effort to remind music fans of his music and its legacy, as well as to reach out to new fans, many of whom were not even born when Link Wray cut his early sides for labels such as Swan and Cadence, in the late 1950s and early 60s......This recording from the KSAN-FM "Live At The Record Plant" series captures guitar legend Link Wray with the power trio lineup that he toured with in the mid-1970s. Best known for his three chord instrumental rockers from the 1950s such as "Rumble" and "Rawhide," Wray had been through a long and winding career that included rockabilly, country, and classic rock'n'roll. Some of the material in this show works really well. The show comes alive when Wray and the band launch into a version of Ray Charles' "Unchain My Heat," and the raunch of "Rumble" sounds as good today as it did decades ago. Other highlighs include "Backwoods Preacher Man," "It Was A Bad Scene" and "Good Time Joe." - from: http://concerts.wolfgangsvault.com/musicians:

I'm a huge Link fan with a collection that I thought was complete -inc all the singles on Swan etc - but never seen this one before. Much appreciated
