In 1993 I was in college and went to the Anaheim NAMM show. I had a new sony cam corder and no tripod. In one room was a huge stage with wild lighting and fog machines in front of 100 empty chairs while 2 heavy metal guitarists were playing to no one. In the next room was Brian Setzer standing next to his amp and girlfriend surrounded with a big crowd singing without a mic or lights or special effects. I just found this going thru my old video tapes.

Few guitarists can sound that good unaccompanied. Great sense of rhythm. He feels the whole band when he plays. Living legend.
amazing. such a great guy, i took lessons from him in 1990-91 at his managers home in los feliz. got to play "the stray cat" gretsch, incredible experience.. i"ll never forget and am so thankful brian took me in.
I heard that he had taught sometime between the Cats and The Orchestra but it's never been officially confirmed im sure learning from him would be amazing
Mr. Setzer is the most underrated guitarist. Top Ten easily!
Living proof that rock ‘n’ roll is just another branch of jazz… This is so damn stellar
Brian Setzer one of the greatest guitar players of the earth.
Yep. He's also a great singer. I understand he's having some playing issues now. I would pay to see him sing without the guitar (of course someone has to play the guitar!).
He is so good and makes it seem so effortless. His fretboard knowledge is unmatched.
Incredible find and quite possibly the only recording of this performance in existence. Thanks for posting!
Thank you. I totally agree. Even tho the video is bumpy the sound is pretty good. Cheers.
A little overdrive, a little slapback and one frick'n incredible guitarist is all you need in life 🙂
Seen Brian in 2003 in London and Stray Cats twice, once at the Rumble In Brixton gig and hes infectiously good every time.
It's criminal that this guy isn't included in the Rolling Stone top 250 guitarist list.
It shows yet again and in glaring fashion, how full of crap the Rolling Stone lists are.
Yea man, he’s killer. Love his playing so much. He’s so cool too 🎸😎
I've said it before: not being included in mainstream greatest lists is a badge of honor
Creativity + skill = Artist... one of the greats, not many out there.
So true
My favourite guitar player of all time! Way under rated! Thank you for sharing this! So cool!
So true.
One hell of a musician. Only got to see him one time in concert. Best ever. Hope to have a chance again. Great video of his talents
I love the sound of that 59 Gretsch Guitar through that matchless amp.
What model is?(Clubmann,HC-30 or what)
absolute and total greatness. So musical, loved his playing since Stray Cats came out in 82 or whenever on MTV when i was 13. All time great. Huge influence on me.
he is so good. man. amazing.
I saw the Stray Cats in 1982 at the Agora ballroom in Hallendale beach Florida. I was standing on the dance floor as close as I could to Brian to watch his magic. It wasn't easy because the Punks were doing a moshpit. A local band called the Kids were the opening act with Johnny Depp on guitar.
Wow. What a show. I saw them open for the pretenders in 2005. Both pretty amazing.
the real authentic cats play solo, via certain situations sans effects, lights, gear, entourage. Case in point...😻 ( See also Ms Jett playing USo full concert to USarmy overseas sans group!)
What a talent!
Great find, thanks for posting this. He is a treasure for those of us with good taste in music
OMG! the best show of the NAMM for sure!
He's such a cool guy to,after one of many times I've seen him,he was close to me and I said hey man I'm not a dumb starstruck loser looking for a autograph,I'm a woodworker and I have a appreciation for the craftsmansjip that goes into your guitars,any chance you can get security to let me over the wall?he didn't hesitate,hey let THAT guy through,pointed me out,sure enough,quick handshake a look at his guitars ,said thanks a million,he's like you really did want to just check it out huh,yup,thanks again,Brian is the coolest rockingest cat in the Galaxy
Absolutely one of best concerts you will ever hear even at this age🎉🎉🎉 ripped it solid
The only one my favorite guitar" s player as Django.

Great voice and great guitar-play !!!!!!!!
Yes! Amazing to see this surface after all these years!
Setzer is a wizard! He aslo seems like a guy you could sit down and have a beer with. Beers with a wizard? Count me in!
What a great batch of footage....To play the guitar with such ease...just amazing how he plays. Really enjoyed this share.
Thanks. Glad I kept my old tapes.
This is great, thanks so much for sharing it! Like all accomplished players, there's not a bit of tension in his entire body no matter how complex the part is he's playing. Amazing to see.
Yeah he’s just have fun looking around. Almost autopilot.
I like how he tunes to drop D for "Rock This Town" to account for not having a bassist with him.
Wow! This is a great find! Just amazing playing.
thanks for sharing this gem of a video with us. it shows clearly what a magnificent guitarist this man is. really enjoyed this recovered tresure.
Cheers
through a Matchless? awesome ! thanks for sharing
A true hardcore rock and roll
Setzer is the real deal.
Excellent. Love your accompanying notes too :)

Unbelievably this guy is not in the rock and roll hall of fame!!!! In the rock a Billy but not the rock makes you wonder!

Style !
Richie Modica #legend
Brian singe handled brought back two styles of music, Rock-a-Billy and Jump Blues!!
single handedly no. just happened to be in the right place at the right time. gets the all credit for nearly 70 years of musical history.
In the U.S. maybe. ROCKABILLY never died in Europe. Lots of 60s and 70s bands out of the U.K. kept it going
Spectacular!
Cheers!
The gretch has a great sound! Try playing a Les Paul Jr. With a double cutaway top! You will love ❤️ it guaranteed!
The best one.
He's a genius
great man rhodimar well done

Will Ferrell just sitting there un interested 😂

What song is that, he's starting to play at 5:35?
Too Hip, Gotta go!! One of the cats best tunes!

@@TheRingo001
Good stuff. The disinterested guy in the booth with him chewing gum was apparently not impressed though :)
Yes. From what I remember he was a Gretsch rep. Waiting on customers.
That’s his guitar tech
@@jimmyvegas3834 ah. I do remember the girl on the amp.
does anyone know the brand of that second guitar....it's blurry but looks like is starts with an "S".
It’s a Gretsch. He was there promoting Gretsch guitars. That’s the old school logo where the G is in script form. Cheers
@@3orangeDots thanks.
S for Synchromatic, the Gretsch Synchromatic model guitar! Sweet recording!!
@@greatlakeguitarsandgear thanks. Cheers
he's basically a jazz guitarist..
Correct
Fantastic video,Brian is playing Matchless amp? What model is?(Clubmann,HC-30 or what)
Regards,
Yeah I believe Gretsch put that there for him. I know he usually plays a fender bass man. Nice amp tho
Cool Kat
First time I saw the Cats was in SFO - Bill Graham Civic Center 1983. Rant and Rave tour. My Brother saw him in a small guitar shop in LA mid 1990s when he was starting his big band project..only about 7 guys jamming in the band at the time. Good Stuff.
LOL. Listen to the knucklehead playing in the background @ 5:11. B heard it.
Thanks. I'm going to throw up now.
Keith Richard can go to sleep 😅...
Honestly kind of disgusting because it just goes to show it really is just his hands. lol
