RF is such an amazing, amazing player with the _ne plus ultra_ of taste. But I can't say he touches many emotions and that's sorta his big Achilles heel. A far lesser player like Eric Clapton is much more memorable because he does exactly that. Never understood that about RF. Almost every single Robben Ford song goes: [intro] [mildly interesting verse 1] [mildly interesting verse 2] [chorus] [killer insane amazing intergalactically tasty guitar solo] [mildly interesting verse 3] [chorus] [chorus]
When visit guitar center there's usually a younger ( than me..like everybody is younger than me 😀) person playing some heavy metal power chords and distorting everything. Death metal licks and power chords. I always think about what they hear in their heads..what they're tuned into. I always wonder what would happen if they listened TO THIS! Robbens level of playing and masterful use of chords is inspiring . I would wish this experience on young players to inspire. He makes it look and sound so natural and easy. It's not easy. Really just amazing.
Wonderful, really appreciate that you gave the spotlight to the members of the big band that's so cool ! Can only imagine how thrilled those guys were to play with you ! It's super groovy ! Not to mention that you sounds absolutely fabulous with a gritty sound but so much clarity !
I love a big band sound in "standard" blues......opens it up so much more.....Luther Allison throws keyboards in......also Papa Bear Greg Allman...great music
I'm unsure why nobody's commenting on the es335 player in the back. Getting that good of blues tones out of an es335 without resorting to screaming distortion like Clapton used in his Cream era is a monumental challenge. Is there a chance he was playing thru one of Ford's Dumble amps? We'll never know because camera men and video producers are just going thru the motions operating very expensive high-end equipment, possibly with college degrees in communication, but don't have a clue about their audiences want to see. Things like pedalboards, amp faceplates, volume and tone knob settings, guitar chord connections, guitar headstocks..
I’ve tried to talk and take a picture with the huge Robben , but not happen . Sounds like Robben Ford , independent of the guitar! The ‘new effect’ thing sounds strange to me , mainly in a gig with an organist , but I understand that an artist need to change sometimes ; I really miss an great bassist in this gig … even with a great organist , I do like much more an ‘blue line trio like‘ performance than that …
@williamgadol350 And all without taking a single breath!!! 🤣 Hopefully Junior will LISTEN to the solo following his and learn/listen to how solo’s can peak a listener’s interest. 🤷♂️
He should be, though. That Was a brillant solo in it's own right. No need to compare to robbens' solo. Two different styles of playing, simple as. Plus, it would have been rather boring for the listener to have to sit through 2 identically structured Solos. No harm done here, just two great guitarist doing their own Individual thing.
@@CarstenNeugebauer I was pointing out that the other guy played 12 bars 3 times (which is fine) but then played one more bar, which is not OK. You can play 12, 24 or 36 bars but not 13, 25, 37... It makes it awkward for the next guy.
Freaking outstanding! Both Robben and the other guy just killed it. Oh!!!
Aah a big band playing with a man who is a genius when it comes to finding the right spaces to play in. Bliss 🎉
❤❤

I knew Robben back in the 70's in Boulder Colorado. He was studying at Naropa. He was a happy peaceful, Zen kind of guy.
Robben always finds a good balance between harmonic exploration and direct emotional impact when he plays the blues.

What a great performance Robben! Brilliant Big Band! Thank you!
Awesome Robben Ford and all the band ❤❤❤ 🔥 🔥 🔥
oh man.. dude on the double-cut sounding great
Robin + Tele = Guaranteed Smile
Robben + Tele + Dumble Super OD = Guaranteed Bliss 🙂
I’ve never heard Robben sing before. Pretty good voice.
Check out "North Carolina" from 1979.
Show us how it is done Master, thanks for the joy in this😊
Holy cow, world class players, all... what great juke-joint swingtime these guys lay down 😯
The master of Altered substitutions! Let’s go Robben!
Robben is the GOAT
Beautiful man! ❤
This is a feast with plenty! Thank you! :)
Wonderful live, great Robben Ford & Orchestra
One of my favorite performances of Robben.

I have them give an ear to JING CHI too...
Thank you, Robben! It is great to hear these shuffles and love your recent work with Scary Pockets.

Song title is "Roberta"
I love his ol yellow Tele...

At 0:53 interesting signaling to the stage sound engineer while singing. Great artist!!
Yup. Points to voice mike, points up: "I want more monitor on my vocals" ... Waves quickly: "Thats enough".
@@davebowman6497 Or is it: "more vocals on my monitor"?......🙂
A million dollor tone.
I'd like to find the lyrics to this song.
song title?
I'm sure that Robben was thrilled when Dude soloed for 37 bars... Lol

Lol
He should only play the guitar and his great but leave singing to other people
Am I the only one who thinks he looks like Johnny Depp ?
Ted Nugent
Yes. LoL! ❤
😂 I've noticed cute aperted front theef. ❤❤ Just as me when i was a teenager. 😊
Too badd.
Yuk
A real blues guitarist. Not a phony like Clapton or Bonnamassa.
