at .04 dk say something to jd and the look on jds face say "what the frig" as he looks to the drummer...then dk says "play it"..yeah def something going on there.
I've seen a number of great guitarists play that song with Don Kelley, but nobody, and I mean nobody, owns it like JD Simo. He goes to places very few are willing or are able to go.
J.D. IS SOME KIND OF AWESOME! BEST VERSION OF GHOST RIDERS I EVER HEARD! 'I'VE SEEN HIM PERFORM THIS MANY TIMES IN NASHVILLE. HEY GO IT WORTH THE TRIP!
After watching about a half-dozen Don Kelly vids of this song, my hat is off to JD..!! EDIT: After watching this yet again...a few more times...all I can say is...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I Absolutely cannot get enough of J.D. Simo and The Don Kelley Band. They are and INCREDIBLE band. If you're ever at Robert's Western World, you MUST check them out.
I was there in August and when they broke out into this???? THE ENTIRE STREET RAN IN,,,,the whole place got off their chairs and I swear Robert's came off it's foundation!!!! Never mind the rest of the bars....we spent each night perched here!!! THE BEST!!!!
Holy smokes! I've seen JD twice in the last couple of years doing his own stuff - very cool in its own way. But I didn't know about this version of him!
The Don Kelley Band is AWESOME. There are no words to describe just how Incredible JD Simo is. I just wish that dopey guy in the white shirt (in front) would have sat down).
I recommended Roberts and Don Kelley to someone. Someone overheard me and said "that's a tourist trap". So? He always had the best players and it was great entertainment. What's better than a good seat at the bar, a fried bologna sandwich and a yuengling and great tele?
A reporter once asked Jimi Hendrix, "how does it feel to be the best guitarist in the world" to which Hendrix replied, "I dont know, you'll have to ask JD Simo".....😊
@Floridays1 TOTALLY agree....I have to come back to this video, (by the way, unbelievable quality) The place could not have held another person when JD started...I have no idea why he isn't recording and on the charts. Here is a most unbelievable guitaist...if you've never been to Roberts in Nashville, make it a point to get there...you will be surprised beyond belief!!!! Thanks to my best buddies for taking me on a WONDERFUL trip to Nashville!!!!!!!
more vids i watch more i love this guy. you should hear his knowledge on vintage instruments. a damn good career in front of him.. stay away from the drugs tho.
Watching this makes me think of Marty McFly and his rendition of Johnny B. Goode for his dads high school class, and Marty loses control and goes of the deep end. Yeah That part. ha ha ah
I enjoyed the skill and performance of the guy on the left. The other guy I just wanted to punch him because of his whistling. That really hurts my ears and slightly diminishes the talented guy.
Perhaps the greatest guitar solo ever played... bravo JD Simo!!
Perhaps one the most accurate comments on the tube
Miss you JD! You’re awesome!!!
Seen him open up for the Allman Betts Band last week in Detroit
Really one of the best videos on TH-cam
"Guess You Guys Aren't Ready For That Yet, But Your Kids Are Gonna Love It"
imagine walking in the door to the start of this amazing solo!!
How this doesn't have millions of views is beyond me....incredible playing
HE GOT YELLED AT IN THE BEGINNING FOR DRINKING I THINK, AND IT REVVED HIM UP, WOWWWWWWWWWW KILLED IT, SCARY GOOD!
at .04 dk say something to jd and the look on jds face say "what the frig" as he looks to the drummer...then dk says "play it"..yeah def something going on there.
So good. JD Simo....the king
This is the greatest guitar solo/performance I’ve ever seen!
Man, I miss watching JD at Robert's. Fricking insane.
JD Should have a million views!
4:45 ... His high E strings flies out of the nut, and he reaches up and puts it back in place, and Don and the drummer crack up!

Typing with my jaw dropped on the floor...best 7 minutes 34 seconds I have spent in I don't know how long.
JD Simo is a MONSTER....

This is one of the best... and craziest ... guitar solos I have ever seen... wow...just, wow... Don Kelley is lucky he was not impaled 😁...
Grat camera clarity. One of the best existing J. D. clips yet. Can you believe he is only 26? His career is just getting started.
I was there in August and when they broke out into this???? THE ENTIRE STREET RAN IN,,,,the whole place got off their chairs and I swear Robert's came off it's foundation!!!! Never mind the rest of the bars....we spent each night perched here!!! THE BEST!!!!
Wicked fukin stuff...been a while since a guitarist got me going ...this guys the nuts
😃 JD off the leash...AMAZING!
The very best performance of all time JD....just wonderful
freakinnnnnnn AMAAAAAAZZZZZIIIIINNNGGGGGGGG!!!
That was so nice I had to watch it twice. Dayum! Simo...
Holy smokes! I've seen JD twice in the last couple of years doing his own stuff - very cool in its own way. But I didn't know about this version of him!
Absolutely off the charts... WOW!
He plays it differently every time as well.great stuff ..go on simo
Beyond the beyonder.
My Gawd,,,,That was effing great. Simo rocks...nuff said
LOVE IT! When JD goes off, it is amazing. Love how out-there he is in Don’s band. Really exciting to watch.
JD really went all out on this one.
Awesome musicianship and camaraderie!
Thanks for sharing!
The Don Kelley Band is AWESOME. There are no words to describe just how Incredible JD Simo is. I just wish that dopey guy in the white shirt (in front) would have sat down).
This guy is my hero.
This band has got it together

This is how you impress your boss !
JD Simo is a BAD ASS!

Oh shit ! JD kicks ass !
First time hearing these awesome guys, they can surely kick up some dust 💥🔥👍
That's the way to get the crowd to buy another round.
Great to see J D again. I was lucky to catch him playing in Flagstaff while he was still in high school. Hee looks great!! ...and funny too.
Crazy
Wow ..just Wow !!

Legends
Look at this muther effer go!!!! Wow!
WhooHoo J.D!
If this is the JD Simo i use to see him when he was still in high school. He was playing blues. Just a kid i use to see him at The Railhead in Vegas.
The first time I saw/heard JD was with the Lexington Lab Band on TH-cam. He tore up the Luther Perkins' parts on the Johnny Cash songs.
WOW!
Great Jam ..yep
Shit got real at 5.30
From 1:30 to around 2:00 the dude dancing in the bottom left corner cracks me up.
Beast
I hope JD at least bought that Tele dinner before he assaulted it. Just wild!
Good God !!!!!!
more vids i watch more i love this guy. you should hear his knowledge on vintage instruments. a damn good career in front of him.. stay away from the drugs tho.
Just another Monday night at Roberts
Watching this makes me think of Marty McFly and his rendition of Johnny B. Goode for his dads high school class, and Marty loses control and goes of the deep end. Yeah That part. ha ha ah
@kevland1 Thanks! Filmed on a Canon S95, if you're interested in that sort of thing...
Holy fuck
Looks like Robbens Tele
Played all the notes

🤯👍
Anybody know if he's running ANY pedals or just cranking that amp???
jd goes jo cocker spastic on his tele...hang on!!!!
Right at the end, was that the incident when he cracked the tele in half?
Ya know, if Led Zepplin had played shit-kicker music, this is exactly what it would have looked like! Love it!
King chainsaw pickin gorpy wippy wappy riffs
THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO NASVILLE...Lord have mercy
Drugs ,alcohol, teenaged missing, who knows, very good solo, excesive act
WTF??? Really?
This guy looks like a nut case but I wouldnt mind him playing a while in my band !
JD put on about 75 pounds since then…
75 lbs of tone. Chill out
I quit!
song ruined
good coke
wow - a country guitar player who doesn’t play cheezy licks - who knew?
I enjoyed the skill and performance of the guy on the left. The other guy I just wanted to punch him because of his whistling. That really hurts my ears and slightly diminishes the talented guy.
Are these guys only pretending not to be embarrassed?...or do l just not get American subtlety..
This more cornnery than corn on the cob
Wow!
WOW!
