Thanks for this share! I'm almost positive that one of the guitars is James "Blood" Ulmer. The video on youtube filmed in Germany (1978) also lists Charles Ellerbee as the 2nd guitarist (in addition to Bern Nix), but guitar #2 (closer to Denardo) looks much more like Ulmer than he does Ellerbee. Also, there's some tell-tale technical stuff going on that would indicate Ulmer's presence (it's all in the articulation--extremely staccato--and in the phrasing--inclined toward dissonant sequences and unidirectional line construction. Also, that chording is unmistakeable).
