Could just be my prejudice that tells me all white guys look the same though, as I'm not sure if he performed in his later years.

Saw him a few times during the late 70s and early 80s when he was ONFIRE. Always a small club that would be packed to the gills. At that point of his career he was blowing the minds of all of the recognized guitar heroes. EVH, Alex Lifeson, Zappa, McLaughlin, Al DiMeola, Steve Morse, all came out and basically said that Holdsworth left them stupid.
Throw away the guitar, his compositions are are breathtaking.
