Wow, HUGE props to anyone who even attempts this song much less pulls it off. Awesome!
LLB nover shys away from a song for difficulty. These guys are amazing..😊
I was literally going to respond with the EXACT SAME comment. This is not a song for the timid. Hearing it on a Tele just adds to the suprise. (EDIT: Wait a minute! Did you actually have Tommy Taylor -- THE Tommy Taylor -- sit in for that performance on drums? If so, hats off again...)
@@stratfanstl Yep, that is the Tommy Taylor. He is listed in the credits in the video description.
@@stratfanstl It was definitely me! Thanks for noticing! Loved it. We did Ride Like the Wind too!
I just revisited this for the first time since September. I read ALL the comments. Thanks to every one who gave it a listen. Thanks to everyone who "got it" and loved it. There are a couple of critics in every woodpile. I've been associated with this song for nearly 40 years. I tracked the original album version and the Austin City Limits 1988 version. I've played this 1000s of times. No person or group who plays a cover of ANY song is going to BE the artist who originally tracked it. LLB are amazing artists at getting the nuances of a tune right. This a bit of a departure from what they would normally do. Roger and Vandee worked very, very hard on this. I came to play the part I have always played. I know every nuance of this piece inside and out. Roger pretty much knocked that out of the park. Eric was duly impressed. I know how this is supposed to feel. If it's not really well done it wouldn't be easy for me to play along with. It was like playing with Ej and any of the bass players who we've worked with. There are no flies on this performance. It's never the same way twice when Eric plays it live. In true LLB form, this is actually closer to what is on the record than most of the times I've played it live in concert. TT
Really great to hear that EJ has seen this! I've seen you play it live with him several times, and he always changes it up a little. Roger did a good job playing a very difficult song!
You played superbly well, Tommy. I enjoyed the entire performance. It was evidence of pure God-given talent combined with years of practice and passion to achieve such a level so close to Eric Johnson's playing. Kudos to you, Roger and Vandee!
You tracked what?!! That is divine work, man. What a staggeringly incredible resume and this performance is quite impressive. He is one of the more elusively difficult guitarists to cover. His note choices, tone, technique, swag, it is nearly impossible for mortal men to do it. You got it down.
Tommy. Thank you for being a part of this event. Such incredible emotions came out of this for me! Not a fly on the wall!
Wow!!! THE original EJ drummer, the amazing Tommy Taylor, whom I've admired for decades, has his say. This is simply one of the best songs of all-time hands down. You're an extraordinary drummer. I taught myself to play drums straight from vinyl back in the day to greats like yourself, Peart, Bonham, Smith, and so on. Thank you for all you've done in the business over the years. You rock.
Love Eric Johnson! Spot on the Money. This guitar work is incredible!
I don’t think these guys should ever be buying themselves a drink again. That is phenomenal
THAT IS TOMMY TAYLOR PLAYING THE DRUMS! He played with Eric Johnson for years and played on this album among others. Legend! Played with Christopher Cross and many others. How did you all manage to land him for this gig! Amazing!
He saw our CC cover and insisted on joining us!
@@LexingtonLabBand Well that is a triumph in and of itself. I met Tommy and Eric back in the early nineties when they played at Tulane where I was ging to school. After they sound checked and ate, they just hung out with the students working the show. We talked, Eric noodled and it was amazing. Tommy is the man.
@@LexingtonLabBandWow! To me is the outmost gesture of respect for your musicianship. Congratulations!
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
@@LexingtonLabBand Absolutely! We'll do it again!
@@chapulineroenohio5406 LLB is top of the top. I told them when I was there than any one of them could be on any tour in the country! Total stars!
He's one HELL of a guitar player. Was so amazing that Tommy Taylor came to play! We loved every single minute of the show and can't wait for next year
HOLY Crap, you just rocked the hell out of that, That was inspiring for damn sure, well done man, well done!🤠
Lovin it from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
Powerful, beautiful and exciting all at once. Great. Beyond great.
Good Grief, Man, that was incredible!! It just doesn't get any better than that!
The one and only Tommy Taylor on drums. He has played this song a few thousand times!😅
My goodness, mind blowing. Classic.
You guys are the best 👍
WOW!
Wow oh wow ya'll smacked that song hardcore fantastic work on this. Super job be proud love it
Nailed it ....great job!
That’s my Cuz! Great job Rog!❤️
Yes, my favorite Guitar Hero song!
Wow!
This was awesome to see and hear live. I love how Tommy Taylor has been playing this song for decades and the fire is still there when he plays it!
It's all about having fun! I thought it was really cool to do the juxtaposition between Cliffs and Ride Like the Wind. For me it's always been every gig is the best gig. I'm very lucky to have been on those kinds of records and to have helped shape the way they originally sounded. What a great opportunity to share that with some really great musicians and their fans! They honored my contribution to those songs by having me play along and taking the time to work them up. I'm the lucky guy here!
Amazing talent
That was so much fun to see live. Just love Labor Day weekend in central Kentucky. One of my favorites from that night!
love it....🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
I REALLY want to see you guys in concert one day. AWESOME!!!!!!
You guys are brilliant! I've just been watching your covers of Boston, amazing!! The practice and dedication to reproducing what is a damn near perfect rendition of these songs is nothing short of, sh#t!! I've run out of superlatives! keep it up everyone! Cliffs Of Dover, it was like Eric was there!
Not an easy choice for a guitarist to play! Fantastic playing and vibe, y'all...
Fantastico
Wow!!!
Super clean! Crushed it pal!
Rippin!
What amazes me more than the LLB members' talents are their choices of great songs to play. This is one more example of their stellar musicianship.
Great Live!
Ok... For the 1st time, I was nervous when the video popped up. Eric Johnson is one of my guitar heroes. Yet, here I am again hitting "👍" for another fabulous performance! 😁🎸🥁
Tommy!!!!
I have to say that the lead guitarist is phenomenal and plays this song as well as the original artist. Our hats off to you! Keep burning those strings up!
awsome
I haven't heard this song in ages. Eric played that song on that Telecaster like he owned it. It was amazing to watch!!! Kudos to LLB for another fantastic performance!!!
Out-freakin-standing.
Wow, what can I say? Loved it again as much as I did live, maybe even more! The guitar work, drums, and the videography! You guys are awesome and I can only say Thank You ALL!
It does'nt get any better than this. At the end sends shivers!
Monster! Not much else one can say.
Misses alot in the beginning. Othwise, superb job!
Thanks for the review
Roger got it. He got the swing, the fluidity, the grove and the utter joy in the song. Kudos Mr Coleman II
Shredded it once again...... That face on the drummer. Classic
He's the drummer from the original recording in 1990.
R.Coleman: °1!!
How great to showcase the talent of LLB. (Saw Eric Johnson open for Rush back in the day, and this is bringing back great memories.)
WOW !!!! WOW !!!! WOW !!!! Perfect mixing...... Incredible players...
Sensational playing all around!! Roger's great feel to capture Eric's style and tone! The Drummer killed it. Real nice to see Tommy sit in on a song he's p[played a bunch of times with Eric.
LLB are the best! I'm so glad they let me come over and play!
...on a tele? JUST WOW! \m/
So amazing, great musicians. 👏
Amazing job is an UNDERSTATEMENT!! Holy cow!!!! Truly amazing
I've watched this video at least 100 times now (yes, I copied it). It sounds best when I 'play it for the neighbors' so you get full separation of the drummers cymbals, etc. It was just this morning, however, when I noticed something about this... IT'S RECORDED LIVE, in front of an audience. (I thought it was shot inside a warehouse or something). It's one thing to get studio quality in the studio, but to get this kind of sound reproduction in an auditorium... YOU GUYS ARE INCREDIBLE!!! Rest assured, on my next trip to Arkansas, I'll find a way to get over to Kentucky and watch y'all play.... Thanks for all the memories you've brought back to these 75 year old ears!!
Interesting to hear the song played with a Telecaster and not the Stratocaster and Gibson ES 335. The tele gives it some country sauce
This took me back to early 90's, cruising in my old car, windows down, blasting this song and just loving life. Awesome cover, once again.
Over the top….what skills! Thanks LLB!!!!
❤❤❤ upeeta kiitos
✅ Nice job…love the tele choice‼️
Wow, nailed one of my favorite guitar pieces!! Nailed it! Thanks LLB..
Thank you guys!!
Thank you for this great video. Simply amazing
Wow, wow, wow!
Mind blown again! Thank you LLB for all the wonderful music!
A great song! Well done!!!!
Listened to this for the umpteenth time, and I get chills every time! (this particular time thru I listened while I was sick, and the chills I got actually made me sneeze! No joke!)
Outstanding cover! Another hit out of the park.
GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow props to anyone that can come close to pulling this off. Let alone nail it. Respect
Great! 👏👏👏👏👏
It's hard to believe one person can play that now there's two ..unbelievable!! Great job as usual
THANK YOU. nuts!
Outstanding!!
I saw EJ two weeks ago. You are brave. Eric has colors and harmonics that you don’t get here.
So clear! Really hear every notes! You and jack thamarat have best cover of this masterpiece
This guitar player is unbelieable this dude can play anything
Exceptional talent and a song that I had never heard before! Great to see LLB posting again!
Just brilliant!
Outstanding…
Brilliant!
On a tele?! Nice work!!!!!
WOW!!! OUTstanding guitar solo!! Reminds me of the first time I heard Technical Difficulties (Paul Gilbert). I've said it many times, but the truth is... you guys blow me away!!
I saw this live!! It was fantastic!! Already looking forward to next year.
Fabulous job on guitar. And they had more videographers than musicians!
Awesome!!
IMPRESSIVE!
Fantastic ,as usual!
It was great all around, but I instantly noticed the drummer was KILLING it, and then read that it actually was Tommy Taylor.... Nice job!!!!!
Would like to hear the studio recording of this!
I remember when this tune hit the airwaves. All of us guitar geeks shreaked in approval...
An no one dared attempt to try playing it. The song became one of those mysteries we could only gawk at.
Well done. The tone was spot on. The woodshed was smooth as glass. I am greatly impressed....not in the "wow, you nailed it."
I am impressed as if it were Peter Frampton, or Mark Knopfler, or David Gilmour who had managed this. T9 be clear, naming them is the type of musicianship esteem I hold the LLB in.
Awesome!
I wonder if you all would follow this up with a studio version?
Always a fun song to toe tap too.
Ah Via Musicom got me through rough stretches at work in the 90's. That was simply fabulous. Eric Johnson is a guitar God and that was as close as I've heard to the record.
Exquisite!
Dudes: That was epic !! Great pickin and I love it when a drummer is having so much fun he can't stop making faces. 🙂
Can't recall ever hearing that one before but very impressive. Would have loved to have seen it live.
Money on the table. I think this is as good as Eric and I saw Eric in San Diego last year at the House Of Blues.This is absolutely stellar.The sound in the video is much better as opposed to the sound at the concert. Well done LLB.
WOW!! An epic performance! Absolutely loved the drummer! Is that an ebony fingerboard on that Tele??
Shazam! Oops there it is. Outstanding playing!
This definitely took me back to the 90's. Played this song a lot then, and still have the EJ album. In fact, was recently watching a Wildwood NJ video from the 90's and EJ's "Trademark" from the same album was playing in the background from a pizza shop on the boardwalk :)
Awesome, awesome job.
Absolutely fantastic cover of a really great song. Well done!
Eric Johnson is one of my favorite guitarists. He has a unique style that few can replicate. All around excellent job on this one! Very enjoyable...
Excellent work, fellas!
