I got this video from youtube a few years ago and now I can't find it here anymore, so I'm uploading it. Does anyone know what's the first song he plays. It's such a beautiful sound!!!
some of the most beautiful music ever written, from a soul not of this earth, had the privalige to meet Vinni, and in real life, his soul shines in every way as much as his guitar
Vini Reilly's one of those musicians where you can hear about three bars and know instantly that it's him. A truly unique genius in my view and hearing this takes me back to my teen years in Manchester in the 80's. Brilliant stuff - cheers for uploading.
Whenever I hear Vini playing the guitar, I automatically think it would make a great soundtrack to a film. It would be a very sad or melancholic film involving a lost or unrequited love and probably be in black and white and involve long, sweeping shots of someone walking over the moors or on a beach looking all forlorn. Vini supposedly used to get lots of female fan mail when the Durutti Column were semi famous and I can see why as I've always thought his music sounded massively romantic in a non standard way. I know he hasn't been at all well over recent years and I hope as we reach the end of the year his health has improved and he's enjoying life. His music has never garnered as much attention or critical acclaim as it deserved in my opinion. He should be far wider known as a world class guitarist and composer of tunes.
Maybe not exactly the genre you had in mind but he contributed to Jerry Maguire. I know first hand Vini used have lots of female admirers and had affairs with some very attractive women - Vanessa Paradis for example.
This sounds like an early version of 4 Sohpia. Rebellion came out in 2001, so my guess is that this was recorded in 2000. Anyhow, this is bloody marvelous..... weak at the knees.
I’ve loved Durutti Column Since the 80’s but I’ve never seen/heard this. I’ve always loved Albatross. Hearing Reilly playing it has blown my tiny mind. Thanks for posting it.
He's not an exclusive Strat man: I saw him live a long long time ago, and he was playing a black Les Paul. In the Domo Arigato's video he appears also playing a (sunburst) LP. I think he had moved from Strat to LP and back several times.
It must have been a hiding-to-nowhere generating interest in instrumental guitar music in the early 80's and so soon after the punk explosion. Still, you eventually learn to like what ya like regardless of what's fashionable.
A little late to the party but if you still haven't figured it out it's Albatross by Fleetwood Mac. Pre-Stevie Nicks era is very underrated part of their discography.

You met the the best! No one creates a more euphoric sound than Vini.

Exactly!!!
15 seconds in and you already know it's him
amazing musician
Oh yes absolutely! Melancholy and euphoric at the same time
@@wilkoten7829 Spot on description.
4 Sophia from the Rebellion album 2001.
No other guitarist could lace Vini’s boots.
Thank you so much for the posting of this great man x
Among the best and most creative guitar players of the 20th century. ❤️
In the world of all-the- same-guitar-rock,with so many "idiots bending the strings" like Zappa said,this is fresh air
floating away with Vini always

@@hudsonquay Didn't know about Jerry Maguire or Vanessa Paradis. Will have to get the JM film and see if I can hear any Vini on it now. Thanks.
@@hudsonquay Sure you're not thinking of Prince!! I know he has some big fans but something tells me Venessa Paradis wasn't one of them!
Beautiful, moving...he truly makes the world a better place. Thanks for sharing.
Give anything to be there watching this live.
How could anyone thumbs down this. A truly unique musician who I adore
The greatest guitar player to ever walk the earth in my opinion.
Yes and John Martyn.
Also a kraftwerk fan, unusual combination of tastes!
Don't forget Bakfark just yet, tho. Even if he was, at his best, just being a Josquin '
'cover band'. :)
no
pure. real....
Absolutely glorious playing, Vini. ❤️
01. 4 Sophia 0:02
02. Albatross (Fleetwood Mac Cover) 3:40
I think 3:40 is a variation of his song Storm For Steve. Albatross starts around 6:07
You are correct!
1.56 - Vino Della Casa (Obey the Time)
Ejale chileno jaajjaa
Come back to this often. Thank you.
Really into the frequency of these tunes!
Mental illness has made him disappear from the world.A true genius.Peace to you Vin.
Don't think that's quite right - a couple of strokes haven't helped. Search for the article in The Guardian (UK) a month or so back (June 2023?)
What? Did he die? When? How?
@gsikora31 He's still with us - just can't play like the fretboard God he was and so doesn't play anymore.
He's not mentally ill. Just sick. Had a few strokes that's affected his hand movement. Also he's skint...

Pretty sure it’s this gig:

2005 in Oklahoma Cafe, Manchester
@@davidroberts7413 yes you're right. I was there doing the sound for Vini that night. I never knew about this video though.

Thank you so much for saving and sharing this...he’s such a brilliant musician!
J'aime beaucoup le travail musical de durutti et ce depuis longtemps merci thanks for posting
god that 4 sophia at the start hits way harder than the recorded. The king
i"ve been a fan for many years- it just sends me to a place that is not in this world- thank you Vini and thanks for sharing this Bruno
Beautiful
Many, many thanks for sharing this with the world. Great!
Anyone ever done a rig rundown with Vini?!!!!
Great player.
It is Sophia from the album "Rebellion"
Tony Wilson's favourite musician
Oh wow, I didn't figure out of hearing the album's that the vibrato was coming from his bar, but now it makes 100% complete sense
... and some Peter Green at the end. wow
Thanks . Now I know
Great player
So glad he didn't get crushed by The Star Machine. Now if someone would just help him get a steady income from his work. David Gilmour? Hello???!!
There's just something about Strat people. They express a completely different part of themselves. They are almost different animals.
He's not an exclusive Strat man: I saw him live a long long time ago, and he was playing a black Les Paul. In the Domo Arigato's video he appears also playing a (sunburst) LP. I think he had moved from Strat to LP and back several times.

It's amazing. Thanks a lot for share!
that DEFINITELY NEEDS A COAT OF MAGNOLIA!
I love Vini's music
beautiful

John Martyn.
Anyone else reckon the last tune sounds a lot like a 'Sun King' by the Beatles, and '3 A.M. Somewhere Out of Beaumont' by the KLF? Sounds good anyway.
A little late to the party but if you still haven't figured it out it's Albatross by Fleetwood Mac. Pre-Stevie Nicks era is very underrated part of their discography.
Heartfelt and just beautiful melody! He deserves all the credit for the work he did with morrissey!!!! I think it’s horrible he didn’t receive it 👎
its def. 4 sophia, but he uses some of those phrases in a few other songs.
Thanks, Bruno.
Wow-where was this filmed? Looks like a private gig
Thank you!
great video thanks!
Fab
vinny reilly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
master
@zatapathiq Thanks-you so much.
Last tune sounds like Fleetwood Mac Albatross
+Rayza1983 I think is a cover of that song.
Yer was thinking myself, sounds awesome
He actually says at the end 'That was Peter Green'
It is Mello.
Vinni Reilly is the best
anyone know when this was done? Looks around 2006 when those XFM sessions were filmed but could be wrong
❤🩹oh!
4AD COCTEAU TWINS
i LOVE cocteau twins and 4AD records but why are you saying that?? Durutti Column was with Factory Records
