Featuring the remarkable talents of guitarist Jerry Donahue, well known for his prowess at string bending and his speed of execution, and also for his ability in general to fit in as a sideman with may bands and singers. All the tracks featured Jerry on guitar apart from the Jerry Reed original version of The Claw.
I remember watching the Joan Armatrading concert back in the day, and being impressed. Rewatching it recently, I made the Jerry Donahue connection and from there the show came together.
Oh, I promised to post the link to the Jerry Donahue clip on YouTube that shows him playing The Claw with close-ups of the fretboard. It’s here
The full documentary, one of the British Channel 4 series Equinox, broadcast in 1987 and called Twang Bang Kerang,is also on YouTube right now, and can be found below.
