Some musicians get better & better over time, hit a peak, coast along and either die way too early, or slide into mediocrity.Bill however, hasn't peaked yet.... he's still in that first phase. Fantastic!

A crazy idea might be that Bill made a deal with an incomprehensible source to know his art so intimately, and the price of that agreement was fame.A true original. No-one writes music like Bill Nelson.

Bill has captured the essence of Stuart in this fine tribute, wonderful but sad at the same time.

Ah, Bill. You're one of a kind. Thank you for a beautiful tribute to the late Stuart Adamson. When you nail it, it's beyond words.

Well over 100 cd's by this man . So little recognition because he opted out of the industry game and blazed his own trail through many musical wonderlands .

if Bill thinks it he can play it, he has no technical limitations. I think jimmie page and jimi Hendrix fall into that category as well. tommy Emanuel on acoustic has that TOTAL mastery too....love ya Bill

What a class act Bill is, this man, the main man of BBDL was a help to me with his music in the '70's, if you have not heard of Be Bop Deluxe i advise you listen to their music,it is an education.even after alcohol,in fact on some occasions back then it possibly seemed better,but actualy come to think of it can Bill's music improved?

Many thanks to Smokehogg for posting this video! Just so you blokes no that I didn't nick it! As for the title it just seems to be appropriate, as it is Bill alone with his guitar, amp, backing track and effects. Live In The Air Age...

Great solo song from Bill Nelson. The actual correct name of his past stellar timeless rock band is "Be Bop Deluxe." Saw them back in '76 at Winterland, in S.F. Cool gig and memories. ;-)
