A lot was made of Bob Dylan when he "plugged in'' at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, but has anybody been paying attention to Jose Feliciano?Apparently he has been appearing on stage for years with an electric guitar, which is quite a departure from his early classical days covering the likes of "Light My Fire'', which won him a Grammy in 1969.
I hadn't seen el tremendo guitarrista with a solid body in his hands until stumbling across a clip from a 2007 concert in Belgium. He plays a blazing electrified version of Dylan's "Knockin' on Heaven's Door'', power tuning as he digs into the song.
Enjoy this today on Feliciano's 64th birthday.
