This live television performance from 1993 at the "HR-Hessische Rundfunk" in Germany features an 8-song performance by Johnny "Guitar" Watson, the innovative and trend-setting guitarist who experimented with feedback and other techniques long before the guitar heroes of progressive rock did. In this performance, we are treated to Watson in his pimp-styled funkster era, which features his down-and-dirty smash hits "Real Mother for Ya" and "Superman Lover". He had a profound influence on many avant-garde guitarists, among them the "Freak Daddy" Frank Zappa, who later invited Watson to work on his brilliant hit album "One Size Fits All" in 1975.
