Man, I must've watched this version a few hundred times back in the day. I'm glad I remembered this existed, haha. Still jaw-dropping in 2022. EDIT: I made a TAB for the final solo: th-cam.com/video/iAHarYKI-Js/w-d-xo.html
We could argue all day long who is better guitar player, singer or songwriter ,but only Richie Kotzen qualifies as the ultimate best in all of the above.
This has to be the most beautiful performance by Richie I've ever seen: guitar lines, vocals, emotivity and overall musicianship... he just nailed everything SO HARD!
Ladies and gentlemen -you just witnessed a friggin' god! Richie is so beyond chops, so beyond this mortal world. He has ascended to a true singer songwriter of the highest standard. We are lucky to have him as part of our collective consciousness. God bless Richie Kotzen!
UN-FREAKIN' BELIEVABLE!!! This is one of the people that gets lost in the media-hyped crap they call music nowadays. He doesn't get near the attention he so deserves.
Great guitarist. Are any of you here familiar with his work with Mr. Big and Winery Gods? Ritchie has been around for decades. Always a treat. I'm looking above and can't believe 160 viewers gave a thumbs down. I guess this isn't for them.
This has got to be one of the most amazing performances I've ever witnessed. Guitar playing skills out of this world and that voice....emotion oozes out of everywhere. I want this played at my wedding, birthday, funeral, job interview, lunch break etc etc etc....
We should all strive to create something that evokes this kind of emotion... The subtle simplicity of the final vocals is so haunting, yet tender. Such a truly special talent.
I think this is the best representation of this song. So inspired and every time I listen to it I cant help but feel there was some real magic in the air the night of this performance.
holy mother f*cking shit! this is one of those songs u never get enough of....few artists sound way better live than in their cd's...Richie is one of them. He is just pure talent
DE OUTRO PLANETA ♫ RICHIE KOTZEN É NA GUITARRA O QUE ELE FAZ NÃO É COISA DE HUMANO MAS SIM DE GÊNIO UM DOS MELHORES GUITARRISTAS DO MUNDO PRA MIM ELE É !!! QUE A FORÇA ESTEJA COM VOCÊS ♪
Every time i watch this video which has been to many to count,it never fails to pull emotion and wonderment from me.so beautiful and a testament to how powerful music can be in the hands of a genius.The other thing that gets me is how little emotion he gets back from the crowd.Maybe they were to caught up in filming him with cell phones,to realize they just missed a guy pouring his soul all over the stage.at 4:50 Richie just leaves his body and when he returns he is completely spent, but nothing from the crowd... strange.there are thousands of great guitarists in the world but few can feel the instrument like this man can.
What a Disgrace to the Music industry and the Exec's who represent that perverted industry. There is and has not been a GREATER combination of guitar playing singing and passion that has been developed like this man since Stevie Ray Vaughn. Ritchie is Simply the Best....no one can come close to his playing acumen.
Awesome vocals, great drums, solid bass, love the guitar solo! Real music with real feeling not plastic but something that can cut through to the soul of your being and move you!!
damn, i can't even find the words to describe this performance...soulful and inspiring are all i can say...and i didn't even comment on richie's guitar playing yet..damn!
Crazy! Simplesmente apaixonante essa música! essa música é capaz de tornar nossos momentos "mágicos" ! o mundo precisa de artistas que como este que passam emoção em suas músicas! GREAT SONG!
For some reason, I am hard-pressed finding another RK video with this level of a performance for this song. Even the studio version pales in comparison.
Even Ritchie himself cannot replicate this legendary performance. That solo is just wild
this live performance cannot be replicated,, even him self...this is hes best performance..raw and dirty badass
which one?
I totally agree.
2020 and i came back to watch your mindblowing solo richie!!
Amen.
Back in his pick-wielding days! When he was at his vocal prime! Not that he's bad now--not at all!
@@lisellesloan3191 completely agree. I call this his "rock god" era. His stratocaster days can't be touched.
Still in 2021 for me! Cheers

STILL the best kept secret on the planet!!!!!!
MrSteven19671 yes
agree !
indeed
We could argue all day long who is better guitar player, singer or songwriter ,but only Richie Kotzen qualifies as the ultimate best in all of the above.
Hell, Effing Yes! Can you say "rock god"?!
This performance should be sent in space. Absolutely not repeatable from the master Richie himself. He was just on alien steroids that night
Thank God for the internet that magical performances like this are accessible to all. Awesome......
This has to be the most beautiful performance by Richie I've ever seen: guitar lines, vocals, emotivity and overall musicianship... he just nailed everything SO HARD!
2021 still here
Can never get enough of this Concert Live in Brazil. Wish Richie kept on doing concerts like this, and with this sound. Fantastic.
This is the best version!

2021 and still best video I've ever saw

Richie is a king! His voice, his techniques on the guitar are amazing! From Fred, Brazil!
this is just too good to be true, and I'm glad I'm alive to listen to it
can't believe there will be a voice so touching in this world. that's we so call genius
best live version ever for me :-) nice
I saw this show in Rio, and when he came back in 2009, this guy absolutly knows how to make music!
Best concert ever. Of all his concerts in Brazil! My land
Foi mesmo!
Outstading, the best performance of this Song in my opinion!!
Cheers from São Paulo, Brasil!!

Increíble, yo alucino con Mr. Kotzen y es que no puede salir mejor una actuación, roza la perfección , bravo.
I'm very torn on keeping him for myself or sharing him with the world. He DESERVES to be heard and appreciated.
