I was there that night, simply because I saw it advertised somewhere and thought "why not?". Thank goodness I went - one of the best shows I have been lucky enough to witness. Whilst I have seen Ten Years After, Wishbone Ash and Yes many times Robbie Kreiger, Randy California and Leslie West were musicians I was not likely to see in any other context and certainly not all on one night. The unsung heroes of this show were Derek Holt - he played keyboard, bass and sang - Livingstone Brown (also on bass and keyboards) and Clive Mayuyu (drums) because they provided a really powerful rhythm section. And as for Alvin Lee that night ....sensational.
Yes I still have it on VHS. Bought the CD of the gig too. Vinyl version has more tracks as the cd version was edited down. Don't know why they didn't just make it a double CD. There was a Night of the Guitar 2 tour with a different line up. Searching for it now.

Randy California - Spirit Pete Haycock - Climax Blues Band Steve Howe - Yes/Asia Steve Hunter - Lou Reed/Alice Cooper Robby Krieger - The Doors Alvin Lee - Ten Years After Andy Powell - Wishbone Ash Ted Turner - Wishbone Ash Leslie West - Mountain (Re-ordered? , but here is the listing so you can figure out if its right) 1. Dr. Brown I Presume - Pete Haycok 2. The Idler - Steve Hunter with Pete Haycock 3. Lucienne - Pete Haycock with Steve Hunter 4. Groove Thing - Randy California with Steve Hunter 5. Hey Joe - Randy California 6. Love Me Two Times - Robby Krieger with Steve Hunter 7. The King Will Come - Ted Turner & Andy Powell 8. Theme From An Imaginary Westren - Leslie West 9.

Thanks so much for posting! haven't seen it since my teenage years! Lucienne is beautiful, Lesley West's 'Theme from an Imaginary Western' is still the best version I've ever heard. Goosebumps. Awesome.
Alvin Lee was an opposite of a shredder. He was just a lightning fast blues player that loved to Rock. He was so fast, his "critics" critics called him Captain Speedy Fingers". Alvin said "I never tried to be the fastest, I even tried to slow down. A lot of these new guys can play ridiculously fast, but there's no light and no shade, and most of them run out of licks in a few minutes anyway." I couldn't agree more, Alvin could play blues at any speed all night long and never miss a lick. One of the best of all time. May he RIP. And keep on Rockin.
Amazing guitarplaying! Steve Howe (Yes, Asia GTR.) Steve Hunter (Alice Cooper) Alvin Lee (Ten Years After) d. Mar. 6, 2013 Andy Powell (Wishbone Ash) Ted Turner (Wishbone Ash) Leslie West (Mountain) Robby Krieger (Doors) Randy California (Spirit) Peter Haycock (Climax Blues Band, ELO) d. Oct 30, 2013.
Or-Grullû, der Schöpfer No one with any decency would argue that. California (ne Wolfe) left a much bigger volume of work than most realize. Thanks to RUclips it is even bigger.
A great concert. I remember watching it on TV at the time and my favourites then were the Wishbone Ash guys playing 'In The Skin' and Pete Haycock playing 'Dr Brown I Presume' ... good memories and all of the guitarists deserve credit .
I saw Randy Califonia with Spirit back in the mid-70s. Man I was blown away . His guitar playing reminds me a bit of Frank Marino , not the same style necessarily, but both intense and fluid .
This version of All Along the Watchtower (50:30) - with Randy California on vocals, and some kick-ass solos from Howe, Krieger and Powell - is one of my favorite pieces of music of all time
That Hendrix story from Randy California blows my mind every time I hear it! How different would the Hendrix story have panned out if Randy's parents had allowed him to go to the UK with Jimmy?
I remember watching this at the time and thinking how old everyone was looking. Now they seem incredibly young to me! I guess the guys were mostly around forty then, but time sure has played some tricks...
about 40 they start hitting the peak skills + knowledge + execution and have enough blissful ignorance, piss & vinegar and pain to blister out some of the most blazing and amazing sounds.
I was 31 when i was at this concert and remember wondering how people, after a life on the road, and who were at least 10 years older than me, could look three times in better shape than me.! Now, of course, we have lost Alvin Lee, Randy California, and Pete Haycock.
This could never happen again. All those amazing players from the golden era of electric guitar all under 1 roof. I went to the town and country club concert they did a few months later. So glad I did.
Mamma mia che ricordi unici, avevo una musicassetta in quel lontano 1989, ricordo che un mio amico fraterno mi aveva fatto sentire questi artisti. Praticamente a forza di ascoltare per carpire ogni accordo, nota, assolo, praticamente l'ho consumata. Cristo adesso vederli veramente quello che facevano è un tuffo nel cuore, cazzo Leslie West quasi alla fine del video,, fantastico, Alvin Lee super. Un Grazie immenso a te per averlo postato. Adesso lo condividero' con questo mio amico, chissà se lo ricorderà ancora e spero di fargli cosa gradita.
Wow. Just wow. So happy to see it again after all these years! As a teenager I'd randomly found this on UK TV late one night and partially recorded it on Betamax. Even though I only had one tape to call my own, it eventually got overwritten by someone else in the family, and I've thought about it for decades! Being a drummer, Clive Mayuyu's fantastic, dynamic performance had a profound effect on me and the way I play to this day- I wonder what he's up to these days?!
Owned this on cassette. Lost or taken can't really remember how it went AWOL An old friend rang me and mentioned Randy California which set me searching and thank the lord I did .SO much talent under one roof .
Als ich es das erste mal hoerte, wusste ich schon, das ist eines der Besten Konzerte der Welt. Das ist nicht mit Worten zu beschreiben. Danke schoen, Gott.
This had a huge effect on me when it was on uk TV in the 80s, taped it on VHS and watched it every day for months. Leslie West, what more can you say, that tone!
Saw this Tour in Edinburgh.Fantastic memories. All the Player's were amazing. What a night! Out in the Alley after the show Randy California and Krieger asked me and my mate if there were any cool Clubs to go and hang out and party in! Unfortunately we had to split if we wanted a lift back to Glasgow. Wish we'd stayed, I so wish we'd stayed. Bless them all. 🎸🎶🖖💜
I was 13 year old when I gatechrushed to the Lochem pop festival and stood first row to see the whole concert of the Climax Blues Band! And that made me HOOKED ON OVERDRIVE GUITAR ASWELL AS RYTHM BLUES! THAT WAS FANTASTIC GIG AS SOON AS I WAS BACK IN AMSTERDAM I BOUGHT THE FM LIVE ALBUM OF THE CLIMAX BLUES BAND
All of these guys are SO Talented !...what a joy to listen to such excellence.They compliment each other so well and really enjoy playing together.Very hard to pick a favorite here but, if I had to pick one, it would be Randy Calif., perhaps because i spent so many of my younger years living in Southern Calif. and visiting Northern Calif.
No feeling sorry for Randy C. "No greater love than this- to lose your life to save another" If it had been the other way- very very bad. I hope his boy is ok- "Survivors Guilt" is ruinous no matter what the facts. My dad lost a good friend that came off the Titantic at a year of age and even then,in his forties carbon Monoxide.
2023 now but back in the early 90s my childhood memories, when I was a teen my dad showed me this, back then to me it wasn’t much……but now more than ever such a great line up of masters 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻GOD BLESS MR WEST 😍
Took me back to the night i watch it. Lesley west awesome moving love you felix. So happy it’s on you tube. I did record on vhs. Very very happy memories of watching this again ❤️
Thanks A LOT for posting this!!! I've played the grooves out of this cd and never knew there was actual video footage of this event. It is quite a treat to me to now see the tunes as they were performed. Much appreciated!!!
Thank's Harrie SukkyYakky for upload this video. Finaly I can see the show. I bought this double album Night of the guitars on vinyl in 1989. It's great to see it.
This is great! Thank you! So much talent on that stage. I saw Randy California at a free festival on Venice Beach, California (of course), early 1990's maybe. It was the annual summer Festival of the Chariots (Ratha Yatra) organized by the local Hare Krishna Temple. Randy and his band performed a stirring rendition of Hendrix's "Red House". He sang one of the lines as " ...if my Baby don't love me no more, I know darn well that Krishna will!" Ha ha, funny Randy. Afterward, he was walking through the assembled beach crowd like an average Joe, a regular everyday Harry Krishner. I was stunned when I heard the news of his drowning from Chris Douridas on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic Show several years later. Long live Spirit (and JoJo Gunne)!
Yeah Randy was a total Hero of mine, seeing the Spirit Man play was just the ultimate Trip. God bless you wherever You are,somwhere along the Timecoast.🎸🎶💜🖖
What a great recap off the tour 1989. Legendary guitar players and better than the tour of 1991. And what a tight rhythm section with Clive Mayuyu and Livingston Brown to back them up 👏🏻
I was lucky enough to be at this show! They almost blew the roof off the Hammersmith Odeon! I saw them again the next year at the Town and Country. They were joined by Jan Akkerman from Focus and Phil Manzanera from Rozy Music. Also saw Wishbone Ash, Spirit and Ten Years After not long afterwards. These are all top class musicians.
Great version of Hey Joe by Randy California, one of my favorite guitarists! Great concert with so many great musicians, check it out. I have the CD of this.
I saw this tour in 88'/89' in Liverpool and me and my younger brother (rip my bro) we're blown away esp Robbie Krieger and Randy C told the Hendrix story live on stage then blew us away with Hey Joe and i must admit i was under the influence of Purple Haze ha ha memories baby and I'm sure Jeff Healey played too or maybe i saw him earlier and gettin muxed up ha ha also i cud swear it was late 88' and not 89' as 'advertised'

Wow...I seen this tour at the royal court Liverpool £6 ..price of a pint now ...still have the ticket ..unreal night Steve Howe was brilliant randy .doing hey joe forgot how good ..this night was ..thank for putting up
Robbie krieger Amazing solo guitar playing, i watched this on tv at the time, those were the days tv companies televised concerts like this, not like some of the shite they put on tv now, these guys were musicians, unlike some of the old wank turned out now so called music
the guy I like best now after almost 30 years of listening to this (I have the vynil too) is, without any doubt, Steve Hunter. He choses to back other guitarists most of the times but if you pay attention, what he does is always excelllent.
1989-Ero Giovane per capire che mi avevano portato al único concerto in Itália dei 9 chitarristi + famosi dela storia del rock.Dopo anni a sentirli i ricordi tornano....erro li e non me ne sono reso conto, ora il mondo dela musica e cambiato..... 1989-I was young to understand what had brought me to the only concert in Italy of 9 + famous guitarists in rock history. After years to hear the memories come back .... I was there and I did not understand, now the world of music and changed ......
Since I bought the vinyls with the concerts when they came out back then I have loved the Pete Haycock tune "Lucienne" (5;25). I had not heard that before. And of course the Wishbone Ash tune "The King Will Come" (25:10) is one of my favorites too. Andy Powell is still touring as Wishbone Ash with a finnish guitarplayer named Muddy Manninen and they do a great show in small clubs as Ducsaal in Freudenburg in Germany where I saw them 14.2.2014. Martin Turner will play Wishbone Ash tunes there as well 21.11.2014 and I hope he will do that one as well.
I remember having a ticket to see one of these shows at the Paladium in NYC in 89 and when I went to the place to see it, I found out it had been cancelled. I was so disappointed. That was the first time I was gonna see Robby Krieger. Watching this video now, it's amazing to see how young he was. Only in his early 40's. At the time, I was 17 and these guys seemed so old. Now I'm older than they were there. Lol It's crazy...
Leslie West .. the King of Tone. That is all.
I was there that night, simply because I saw it advertised somewhere and thought "why not?". Thank goodness I went - one of the best shows I have been lucky enough to witness. Whilst I have seen Ten Years After, Wishbone Ash and Yes many times Robbie Kreiger, Randy California and Leslie West were musicians I was not likely to see in any other context and certainly not all on one night. The unsung heroes of this show were Derek Holt - he played keyboard, bass and sang - Livingstone Brown (also on bass and keyboards) and Clive Mayuyu (drums) because they provided a really powerful rhythm section. And as for Alvin Lee that night ....sensational.
+1 to you mentioning the rhythm section. Been to these videos before and did only recognize the obvious. The others maybe should be the ones to star?
Great write up. So amazing that we'll have this little piece of history forever!
Remember watching this and being blown away as a 9 year old kid when my Dad recorded it off the tv, onto VHS! Awesome!!!
me too
Yes I still have it on VHS. Bought the CD of the gig too. Vinyl version has more tracks as the cd version was edited down. Don't know why they didn't just make it a double CD. There was a Night of the Guitar 2 tour with a different line up. Searching for it now.

Steve Howe makes your Heart Shine . Music is good for the Heart
I saw this show in may 1989 in milan....what an emotion to see robby krieger and steve hunter sharing the stage in front of me!
Pete Haycock...criminally-underrated! 🎸
R.I.P Peter Haycock ❤
Excellent stuff.RIP Randy.
Thanks so much for posting! haven't seen it since my teenage years! Lucienne is beautiful, Lesley West's 'Theme from an Imaginary Western' is still the best version I've ever heard. Goosebumps. Awesome.
Jack Bruce's brilliant tune, and Soundtrack for A Western film that did not exist
Pete Haycock R.I.P. he was one of the best !!!!
The live version of Steve Howe's "The Clap", from the first Yes album, is really amazing... twenty years after! The rest is unbelievable too.
Actually that wasn't the first Yes elpee. It was the first that Howe played on however.
Because this concert was unique the fact that you had the greatest 9 guitar players of all time altogether in 1 place at 1 show. It speaks for itself
RIP Peter Banks.@@SFCBenny57
Ah. The rendition of 'Lucienne' will remain one of my all time favourite things to listen to :)
Alvin Lee, what a shredder. Oh, how he can make those strings talk.
A "shredder!?" WTF?!
RIP Alvin Lee
Alvin Lee was an opposite of a shredder. He was just a lightning fast blues player that loved to Rock. He was so fast, his "critics" critics called him Captain Speedy Fingers". Alvin said "I never tried to be the fastest, I even tried to slow down.

it is well known . they get to high number and start over
@@Thadmotor1044 If I don't know it - it's not well known.
So it's stay special
@@SelectCircle It is very ,very well known. By those who know about these things. If you haven't heard about it, you don't. It is the stuff of legend.
@@catabaticanabatic3800 Woodstock is "very very." This concert veers more toward "hardly whatsoever."
This version of All Along the Watchtower (50:30) - with Randy California on vocals, and some kick-ass solos from Howe, Krieger and Powell - is one of my favorite pieces of music of all time
Un concerto da brividi!,veri miti della musica ,oggi scomparsa!Grazie jimi Hendrix per quello che hai lasciato!
I never knew this concert existed. Incredible! Thank you!
That Hendrix story from Randy California blows my mind every time I hear it! How different would the Hendrix story have panned out if Randy's parents had allowed him to go to the UK with Jimmy?
I remember watching this at the time and thinking how old everyone was looking. Now they seem incredibly young to me! I guess the guys were mostly around forty then, but time sure has played some tricks...
Exactly ! I also hoped that I would turn out to be as good on the guitar as they were when I had reached their ages. (LOL)
And yet they already were that good at half the age. Amazing how all those guys got to be so proficient so fast. Natural talent I guess.
True.
about 40 they start hitting the peak skills + knowledge + execution and have enough blissful ignorance, piss & vinegar and pain to blister out some of the most blazing and amazing sounds.
I was 31 when i was at this concert and remember wondering how people, after a life on the road, and who were at least 10 years older than me, could look three times in better shape than me.! Now, of course, we have lost Alvin Lee, Randy California, and Pete Haycock.

Bruce, Papp and West RIP
Wow Alvin Lee was amazing in my opinion the best on here.
I agree. Keep on rocking.
Randy California! R.I.P.
He died on my birthday. :-(
Yeah Randy was a total Hero of mine, seeing the Spirit Man play was just the ultimate Trip. God bless you wherever You are,somwhere along the Timecoast.🎸🎶💜🖖
What a great recap off the tour 1989. Legendary guitar players and better than the tour of 1991. And what a tight rhythm section with Clive Mayuyu and Livingston Brown to back them up 👏🏻
magnifico!

Great version of Hey Joe by Randy California, one of my favorite guitarists! Great concert with so many great musicians, check it out. I have the CD of this.
The finale brought the house down Rock & Roll at it's best live
Gig just blew my mind.
I saw this tour in 88'/89' in Liverpool and me and my younger brother (rip my bro) we're blown away esp Robbie Krieger and Randy C told the Hendrix story live on stage then blew us away with Hey Joe and i must admit i was under the influence of Purple Haze ha ha memories baby and I'm sure Jeff Healey played too or maybe i saw him earlier and gettin muxed up ha ha also i cud swear it was late 88' and not 89' as 'advertised'
AWESOME, that duet @ 25 min mark was UNREAL!
+James Price Andy Powell and Ted Turner from Wishbone Ash. Ted left the band in 1974 and was replaced by Laurie Wisefield. They got even better
THANK YOU SO MUCH., just blown AWAY! :)
+James Price You're quite welcome. Check out /watch?v=fJZOiIpccjE
James Price superb band
I was at the Manchester Apollo Gig on this tour. Such a blast from the past!! 👍
I saw them in Verona, Italy on the 12-04-1989, the best concert ever!
So sad to know that too many of these guitarists are now no longer alive!

Uno dei concerti piu belli inassoluto.
Robbie krieger Amazing solo guitar playing, i watched this on tv at the time, those were the days tv companies televised concerts like this, not like some of the shite they put on tv now, these guys were musicians, unlike some of the old wank turned out now so called music
Guitar players (actual and air) especially, there's a lot to enjoy here, check it out.
the guy I like best now after almost 30 years of listening to this (I have the vynil too) is, without any doubt, Steve Hunter. He choses to back other guitarists most of the times but if you pay attention, what he does is always excelllent.
yeah man, his intro-solo with dick wagner on sweet-jane (lou reed) is legendary
Vinyl not vynil.
+stoofbuis And Hunter's work with Peter Gabriel Solsbury Hill (Car Album #1 Solo) is legendary, plus his solo output is phenomenal.
terrypussypower Mmmkay,now the world is a better place I suppose...
ghostdog7575 It's a step in the right direction, and that is a good thing.
Orginal twin guitar team of Wishbone Ted and Andy always my favorite.
So Fine
Krieger was awesome on this.. in both songs. He's great doing Love Me Two times on the CD too. I wish there was video of that available.
1989-Ero Giovane per capire che mi avevano portato al único concerto in Itália dei 9 chitarristi + famosi dela storia del rock.Dopo anni a sentirli i ricordi tornano....erro li e non me ne sono reso conto, ora il mondo dela musica e cambiato.....
1989-I was young to understand what had brought me to the only concert in Italy of 9 + famous guitarists in rock history. After years to hear the memories come back .... I was there and I did not understand, now the world of music and changed ......
you are very lucky...it was fantastic. great post.
io non c'ero ma a 9 anni impazzivo gia per alvin lee.
Wow, Leslie West nails Theme From an Imaginary Western!
Leslie West was awesome! Alvin Lee was the best that ever was. All great.
Legendary show.
WOW STEVE HUNTER!!! AWESOME
Since I bought the vinyls with the concerts when they came out back then I have loved the Pete Haycock tune "Lucienne" (5;25). I had not heard that before.
And of course the Wishbone Ash tune "The King Will Come" (25:10) is one of my favorites too. Andy Powell is still touring as Wishbone Ash with a finnish guitarplayer named Muddy Manninen and they do a great show in small clubs as Ducsaal in Freudenburg in Germany where I saw them 14.2.2014. Martin Turner will play Wishbone Ash tunes there as well 21.11.2014 and I hope he will do that one as well.
I remember having a ticket to see one of these shows at the Paladium in NYC in 89 and when I went to the place to see it, I found out it had been cancelled. I was so disappointed. That was the first time I was gonna see Robby Krieger. Watching this video now, it's amazing to see how young he was. Only in his early 40's. At the time, I was 17 and these guys seemed so old. Now I'm older than they were there. Lol It's crazy...
