I saw him on the Diary of a Madman tour when they played at the Richfield Coliseum. A lot of great guitarists have come since his passing, but none that I can think of with his kind of phrasing.

What a shame ....

^^^^Hence the good taste

Allow me the liberty of posting the best Randy footage there is (in case any younger fans weren't aware). Recorded April 28, 1981 Rochester, New York.."After Hours Live" 25min, picture very dark here, there are separate clips posted with a better image and lighting..

I had to look him up and dang, he was one year younger than me. He was born in 56 and 55 for me. He might of led a rowdier life?

Awesome link, not sure why they change his cloths to black??

Perhaps? Randy actually led a "clean" life, considering his surroundings. That's what makes it so tragic. He hated the lifestyle. He was always meant to be a teacher, always clean and sober when performing. The plane pilot had coke in his system, not Randy ( Randy only came back positive for nicotine). This is confirmed in autopsy records and from those present.

I believe the family keeps that, and most all others in an undisclosed vault somewhere. They still own all of it. Thinking it was on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for a time. The Musonia School of Music in North Hollywood, which was ran by Randy's mom, (where Randy learned to play) is still a functioning school and museum. The place is often broken into and robbed. As recent as 2019 thieves stole a bunch of gear and personal items. They dumped all the small stuff in a nearby dumpster, but his first electric, and two horns owned by his mom are still missing.
The YT clip here (30 minutes with Randy's older brother Kelle) is a tour of the school with vlogger "Daze with Jordan the Lion" from six years ago. The guitar presented at the end of the clip is the one now missing from the robbery three years ago. Thankfully all others were being stored in the vault at the time of the robbery.
The vlogger "Jordan the Lion" is actually a Troy, Ohio native that relocated out west. I never met Jordan, but there's another fella often in his clips from Troy who taught guitar for years in Troy that I used to party with ✌
