Today’s announcement of Link Wray’s induction nomination into the 2014 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame seems like a good time to share this terrific live performance by Wray shot at Winterland in 1974. With a guest appearance by John Cippolina of Quicksilver Messenger Service.

It’s a shame Link Wray isn’t alive to enjoy the recognition he so justly deserves. Wray gave birth to a style and sound—ominous riffs played through an overdriven amp with holes punched into the speakers—that influenced everything from Keith Richard’s “Satisfaction” riff to The Ramones, The Cramps, Jimmy Page and beyond.
