Lee Ritenour & Friendship Live at the Roxy on the Sunset Strip, December 11 1978
When I started high school in 1977 I met another drumer in marching band named Chris whose father was a studio musician. Until this time I just listened to the radio and never gave a thought as to who played on the albums. Chris took me to a drum symposium during the first week of school and the drummers playing were Louis Bellson, John Guerin, and Jeff Porcaro...and their bands which included Larry Carlton and Robben Ford. I was changed musically from that moment. Next, Chris took me to the brand Library in Glendale CA which had a great jazz record collection. That's where I first heard Lee Ritenour. Lee had a regular Tuesday evening gig at the Baked Potato jazz club, and after a couple of months I was finally going to go. Unfortunately the week before I went was his last ever Baked Potato gig and it wasn't for another year that I would see him at this performance at the Roxy.
I went with Chris and we sat in this little balcony that isn't there anymore, but you were right on top of the band and could see them perfectly. Technicaly this isn't MY bootleg because Chris brought his big cassette recorder with an external microphone that had an on/off switch and he controlled that switch to turn off the chatter between the songs so he could save as much tape as possible. NOTE: The tape ran out right near the end of Captains Journey and he had to turn the tape over really fast.
The show was billed as Lee Ritenour and Friendship. This is not to be confused with the members of a direct-to-disc recording Lee made a short time earlier under that name, or the band Friendship he would form with these players a year later. This was an all Lee solo music concert. This band was formed to go out on the road, and this was the last night of a tour. The band consisted of Lee on guitar, Ernie Watts on sax, Don Grusin on keyboards, Abe Laboriel on Bass, Alex Acuna on drums, And Steve Foreman on percussion.
The band entered through the audience playing hand percussion instruments and made their way to the stage where Lee came out to join them. This is 46 years ago and I can stil remember how wild the crowd was. Lee was a studio guitar legend and now was their opportunity to see him live. The excitement generated as the announcer said LEE RITENOUR AND FRIENDSHIP was crowned by Lee scratching out the rhythmic chords of Valdez In The Country, and only topped by the howling harmonics he played on the second time thru the verse.
The tape is 46 years old and was recorded in mono with a crappy microphone so it gets a little mushy as the show goes on, but its a record of the evening's performance.
The songs are:
0:00 Valdez In The Country (from a Guitar Player magazine record)
11:30 Margarita (from Captain Fingers)
24:00 Morning Glory (from Captain's Journey)
38:00 What Do You Want (from Captain's Journey)
47:30 Fly By Night (from Captain Fingers)
51:40 Captain's Journey (from said album)
1:05:00 Matchmakers (from Captains Journey

Singer-songwriter Bobby Caldwell passed away a few days ago (3-14-23) and I wanted to post a little something to honor his memory. In the early to mid 1980s singer Marilyn Scott would play at the Santa Monica club "At My Place" every 3 to 4 months. Her band was always the best musicians in town which generally included her writing partners and founders of the Yellowjackets, Russell Ferrante on ...

In October 1981 Burt Bacharach and his then wife, lyricist, Carol Bayer Sager played a couple nights at the Roxy Theater on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood.

It makes me sad that these instruments, as well as the people who know how to play them, are disappearing. Time is cruel and all-consuming.
HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS YET
this is so joyous
This is so so so so good! Thank you. And thanks to the youtube magic that led me here. Man. Roscoe Beck and Vinnie on a shuffle. Life doesn't get much better. Robben Ford just makes me happy.
Corona virus quarentine.???
I wish we could get a _Pee-Wee's Big Adventure_ score roll on this thing. Can you imagine "The Breakfast Machine" on this thing?
Oh my god that made me do happy!!!!!!
Joe is a living legend!
I find this instrument fascinating because it's so different from an ordinary instrument. I mean, it seems the piano mostly plays itself and the performer mostly controls percussion and other "sound fx" type sounds. It's basically an acoustic/analogue version of people playing live with loop pedals, drum machines, and sequencers.
Could u build one from scratch
Hit it Joe
Joe is the reincarnation of god I’m my opinion
This one is for my mean girls
this is the hit it joe guy
It’s 4 in the morning and I don’t know how I got here but this is amazing. Fucking AMAZING.
Hiya i have another question will there be another concert
@@ThomasBell-c9h at some point, yes. Right now he is doing a bunch of work on his house and hasn't got the time. We are also super busy at work and haven't had a slow point in over a year.
@@garygibson5983 ok wish him look
God bless Joe, man
@gary are you apart of joes family or were you a guest
@@ThomasBell-c9h I work for Joe at his business.
@garygibson5983 tell him he's a good player I like history and he makes my day
I’m pretty sure I was at one of these shows. I lived right near the BP at the time and went with my roommate. Heard some great music there. Guitarist Mike Miller played with a trumpet player Al Vizzutti. That was an awesome show
Mike and Walt still play there from time to time
@@garygibson5983 It was actually Mike and Allen Vizzutti. Love Mike’s playing
I love it
Thanks so much for this.
Damn.. Luke was like 24 here.. And mindblowin awesome.. One in a billion.. A treasure on guitar.
Saw many great show's at Hop Singh's. Probably at this show, saw Robben (always with Vinnie!) many times there along with Eric Johnson, The Fents, Players w/Scott Henderson, Jeff Berlin, T Lavitz, Steve Smith who recorded a live album there.
Do you think Joe could do another concert every once in a while in these trying times? I bet if you livestream on Twitch or TH-cam, you'll get a lot of people! He has a talent!
1:13
Just too cool!
Fascinating watch
I'm convinced Willy Wonka created this for the chocolate factory 😂
Honestly, if I was his neighbor I don’t think I would be able to have a good day without hearing this after a long day of work. 😔
Shit is chicken soup for my autistic soul
Thank you so much for posting it! 🔥🔥🔥 It was also Jeff Porcaro's birthday!
@@gealg5752 no...it wasn't his birthday. I edited out a lot of the chatter from the show and before each song they announced it was a different band member's birthday.
@@garygibson5983 Ah... ok. Thank you for explaining.
My condolences
@@abates7984 for what?
Please look up a clip from the show "I Think You Should Leave" the title is "He Layeth Up High".
Imagine being Joes neighbor!
The sound of the whistle and the way he aggressively yanks that cord SENDS me every time!! Lol I love this!! So fun!
That's really neat did that thing connect to electricity or is this all done by air? Amazing. This is the computer for 1920's. Great video. I am getting entertainment and education.
Electricity runs the blower that produces the air that makes the machine work. It's a big giant motor in the basement.
For the longest time, the CD of this gig was only available in Japan. Too bad nobody went one step further and made a video of it also.
around 4:00 very familiar tune from cartoon
This makes me rabbit hole into the photo-player. Because this is clearly in a beautiful moment after film yet before talkies. I have to wonder if our gracious host is also a musical historian with specializations in Hollywood and:or American film history. And also whether there was a “same way every time” vs an “open to current events via small musical expression” beef.
this is such a trippy instrument, mind boggling how it works
this is a certified hood classic
Nice so clear voice ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Reminds me of the old age of cartoons 🙂 Gary if you can see me or this comment i loved you’re concert
Like a DJ.
Woild it be possible to electrify it and have it connected to midi
Já se usavam "samplers"!!!
Might as well get the whole orchestra in 😂😂😂
another banger from lil joe
Nice to know the Doohickey-Thingamabob-Whatchamacallit-Inator 5000 is still going strong during these times.
Joe ❤🎹🎶
Djs used to have a lot more brass things to grab on to huh?
You should see if Joe would like to do something like this again because you could probably put it on TH-cam now and preserve some of the music he plays.
