Man alive what a performance! Acoustic hot tuna is still touring and will be doing so in 2024. 55 years you guys you make me want to cry for the old days, Carry on you two.
Been seeing Hot Tuna since 1977 going 2 nights next month can't wait but since Phil Lesh passing.worried how many more years that jorma and jack still have playing so looking so much for dec 7th and 13th love u guys for almost seeing them for a little under 50 years
Had the privilege of attending a J & J performance last night (4/16/23) in Skokie, Illinois. Wonderful, touching and much loved. They still appear to be best buds and still going strong. Can only say it’s amazing. Thank you!

Jorma was way underrated as a Guitarist! Coming from the Psychedelic Rock Roots , which I love, he didn't get the exposure, large audiences and radio air time afforded more mainstream Rockers.He makes this look so simple😊
We almost named our firstborn Jorma. But it didn't go w our last name. Jorma Foreman lol! But that's how much we admire his talent. Embryonic Journey has got to be the most amazing piece for 1967, SO ahead of what anyone else was doing. WHY don't more ppl recognize him?
My older brother turned me on to Airplane and Jorma in the 60's and 70;s growing up on long island ....my high school friends gave me shit about it back then...Jack and Jorma are the greatest!!!! Had the pleasure of meeting them a couple of times... both in NH...very down to earth and receptive...I'm 67 and will cherish those memories forever!!!
I had the immense privilege of seeing Hot Tuna perform live in the summer of 1970 at the Shepton Mallett [uk] blues and jazz festival and which was effectively the forerunner for the famous Glastonbury Festival. They were one of the absolute standout acts, along with The Byrds who played for 3.5 hours in apparently their only all acoustic concert played over here - all their gear get wet in a rain storm earlier. Awesome memories and thank you to our host for sharing this!!!
We caught Jorma at Levon Helm Studio (aka: The Barn) last week. What a joy. And it was Jack 's birthday, so Jorma called him as he show kick off, and we all sang Happy Birthday to him. Love both these guys!❤
I screamed out a request for this at the Tampa Theater in '85 (i think), and Jorma and Jack delivered. I remember it being a hot night there, guitar tuning like crazy.
YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT. GOD BLESS THOSE CLUBS,ALL WHO MADE IT ALL POSSIBLE,ALL THOSE MUSICIANS,THOSE TIMES,THOSE DRUGS,ALL THAT MUSIC,THOSE PARKS AND THAT CITY !!! XOXO FOR ALL OF IT FOREVER !!!
Long time Jorma (and Jack) fan, since the early '70's. As a very young teenager I took folk guitar lessons from a local teacher out of her home and we used Laura Weber's guitar lesson book. I then soon became a huge Jorma fan in the following years, and then dozens of years later when I first came upon this video on YT, I was elated to find that Laura Weber connection to one of my all time guitar heroes! My folk guitar lesson book author was into Jorma and had him on her TV show almost at the same time I was studying from her book! I later met and talked to Jorma (and his wife, Vanessa) a couple times. Super nice people. I've always felt akin to Jorma, growing up with his music and going to so many Hot Tuna and Jorma solo concerts. Jorma & Jack, what a magical duo.
just watched a video of them doing the same setup....amazing way back then and amazing in the present......saw jeff plane in 1968 during my army days when they first hooked me....
Talk about a combination of the two. Just retired this past August and remember the school days listening to Airplane & Tuna. Have the LP's & CD's . Lots of great memories. 👍☀️
First introduced to Hot Tuna, the New Orleans House album, at a quiet little gathering at a beach house in St Joepsh Mi circa 1973. I went back the next afternoon to ask "what was that Bluesy Roadhouse music we were listening to last night?" (To high to remember I knew it was good and I had to hear it again though) Went straight out and picked up my first Hot Tuna album that afternoon.
finally attended My first [now only] electric HOT TUNA show 16th September 2023 - 2 sets of intuitive playing, they on another level - with longtime drummer. Living legends & Good shit indeed. Blessed.
Yorma, brilliant as always, but this one is all about Jack! Clearly (thankfully) the camera person or director understood that. And Jack playing chords behind Yorma’s solo. Great stuff.
I agree, Jacks bass made the song. To me It sounds like the bass is leading at times. It wouldn't sound right without the bass That Jack is doing so skillfully.
Simply one of the best bassists ever.. There may be some technically better, but no one ever makes a bass growl like Casady. The emotion in his playing is amazing and add so much color to whatever he plays on.
Hot tuna did certainly take psychidelic rock to the next level. Classic blues, folk, rock, psychedelia, and creativity, the spirit the mind in simply beautiful form that still sounds relevant and even more hard hitting. And they're still cool.
Jeff Beck -- who we lost just this month -- wa much like Jorma & Jack, vastly less well-known than many far lesser guitarists, and for much the same reason: he was all about the music & not concerned about fame. He was also, like Jorma, incredibly versatile, a pioneer of hard rock with The Yardbirds, jazz & fusion, rockabilly, classical & opera, & other genres. He was also humble & generous, taking young musicians under his wing & helping them spread their own wings.
Jorma is why I picked up an acoustic all those years ago. I have seen them for decades, even through the punk years. Saw them last year and they were masterful. Jack’s playing is something to behold. When a band reinvents itself for each and every album you know they are true artists. Compare Burgers and America’s Choice and you’ll know what I mean. I love all music but Hot Tuna holds a special place in my heart.
Jack Casady is my biggest influence in bass, hands down. his style and approach are incredible. seeing him and Jorma at a folk festivial last year blew my socks off man
What helped make Hot Tuna great was that they remained underground instead selling out for commercialism. They played what they wanted instead of being told what to play.
Incredible video & nice camera work…this guy must be player, mostly focused upon the fretboards. Both of em sure had it together from the beginning of their careers. Love how Jack goes from fingers to strumming chords & back. His old Hagstrom loaded Guild is mighty cool. Got some great photos of this duo playing at a folk festival, about 15 years ago. Love Hot Tuna‼️ 🇨🇦
luckily I had saved it when I favorited Manns Fate, so when the fellow who originally posted it has his channel disappear I could put it back up for all to see. :)
I remember seeing this and Hesitation Blues on public TV (ch 13 in NY). Mesmerizing! Still is. Always gives me chills. Looking forward to seeing them again in Westbury in a couple weeks.
excellent rendition of one of HT's most excellent hits. I fondly remember having a pair of knee high moccasins like that, they went great with beads....unfortunately, with a thin leather sole, they wore out.
These guys have been together for years. Jack Cassidy and Jorma are both underrated especially Jorma. Almost 60 years later and there both still playing together as Hot Tuna. Love me some Jelly Roll Blues.
@BiPopular I called out for "Manns Fate" as an encore at an acoustic show Dec 09 in ME, and when Jorma did that little riff three times at the end of the tune; first time was really sloppy, and I thought "aw he's lost it", second time was better but still a poor imitation and I thought "well, nice try anyway", then the third time he nailed it absolutely perfectly note for note and my jaw dropped. Of course he was able to play it. He was just screwin ' with our heads the first two times! lol :)
Jorma called that "the unplayable riff'. He wasn't messing with you. He just had to wake up his muscle memory. Be thankful he was willing to perform a request. that needed a bit of rust kicked off of it. I'm gonna guess afterward he said, "Yikes!."
@@jhandle4196 Yeah I heard that too tonight lol. 11 years ago I knew that was gonna be the encore from the setlists on tunabase tho. They'd done it several times already.
For a minute or two there, they seemed to forget they were in a television studio. Two highly skilled and experienced musicians, just jamming on an awesome tune. Just like I used to see back in the early 70's at the Academy of Music in NYC.
Why I was a sexy hippie in 1972, as an oboist, not to start guitar until '75... SF Bay Area musicians inspired musicians around the world. Sucking In The Seventies was simply a tongue in cheek play on words by the Stones. '60's and '70's ... we're lucky for all the recordings like this!
Met Jorma backstage after a show at a very small venue in Trenton NJ in 1987... very accommodating and willing to chat...was a great night! He's got underrated acoustic skills...
The tension and dynamics is bananas. I never tire of it. Jack's tone and the way he moves in and around this tune is spectacular. Seeing him do it as a young man and how fucking cool he looks I get emotional.When he left the gig icicles were in his chair.
A long time ago in what seems another life I was lucky to see them. Comments about Jorma...underrated spot on. I was with a friend great guitar player who said to me when Jorma broke out lap slide, you have no idea how hard that this instrument is too play
Always absolutely fabulous to see/hear this! And I was so excited when it was first on. (I remember the original airing of the show to be called “Guitar Guitar” but a lot of years have gone by - memory could be faulty.)
I saw this show when it aired (or shortly after) and Jorma's fingerpicking blew me away. I think they did Water Song and Third Morning in Chelsea on that show, as well. He's using that same J-50 on his Saturday night quarantine shows from Fur Peace Ranch.
@WNTW13 Me too!! I'd choose Hot Tuna over any other show any day of the week. The maturity and mastery of their playing and instruments has only grown over the years :)
Some of the Alembic founders modified a Guild Starfire bass with onboard electronics. The Guild Starfire bass at that time had single coil pickups made for them by Hagstrom which produced a highly sought after sound and helped produce the growl that part of Casady's sound. Alembic did make a custom bass for Jack Casady in 1972 that was their first complete production effort.
@@caesarsmith4711 Entwhistle is good but I wouldn't put him in Casady's league. Casady has a nuance and restraint that Enwistle lacks. But, if you disagree with that, another big thing is that Casady's fellow musicians like Kuakonen who can meet his level of playing. I think Entwistle stands alone in The Who. Except for the drummer, no one is as good at their instrument as Entwistle is on his bass and so he doesn't shine like he really could
and his incredible eyebrow action, lordy lordy but I do love these guys. Got to see them in 72, up close and Jack was working that bass and his eyebrows kind of had a language all their own...! 8D~

Shed no tears for time is a bitch that can’t be stopped
Are they coming to NYC ?
If you don't know Jorma ....you don't know Jack!
😅
😂✌️
GOOD ONE and HILARIOUSLY Jack'ed me normal/Dogma Jorma UP...! HeyooooooooOOOOOO
My BA when I was in the union had a bumper sticker that said "Got Jorma?"
Been seeing Hot Tuna since 1977 going 2 nights next month can't wait but since Phil Lesh passing.worried how many more years that jorma and jack still have playing so looking so much for dec 7th and 13th love u guys for almost seeing them for a little under 50 years
Wow! Nice! Yeah I catch 'em every time they play close by. None of us gettin' any younger
Had the privilege of attending a J & J performance last night (4/16/23) in Skokie, Illinois. Wonderful, touching and much loved. They still appear to be best buds and still going strong. Can only say it’s amazing. Thank you!
I live in Chicago - guess I better keep my eyes peeled for whenever they come back.
I was there too! So incredible to all be together again and still in top form.
such a perfect day ...
Jack and Jorma are both legends in every way.
These guys are the reason the Airplane was so good.
@@johnnybradin5112 yes ,In comparison to the Great Society ,the Airplane's ready for prime time rhythm section was the deciding factor for Grace joining
True American Treasures. We lost so many so young. We are blessed to have these guys going strong and getting better each year. Thanks for posting!
I saw a documentary on Jefferson Airplane. They were Jamming What a great bassist, Jorma Kaukonen Was great in the documentary, I had no Idea.
Caught Jack and Jorma a couple of nights ago. They are still amazing to watch.
Jorma was way underrated as a Guitarist! Coming from the Psychedelic Rock Roots , which I love, he didn't get the exposure, large audiences and radio air time afforded more mainstream Rockers.He makes this look so simple😊
At least i didn't know how good he is.
We almost named our firstborn Jorma. But it didn't go w our last name. Jorma Foreman lol! But that's how much we admire his talent. Embryonic Journey has got to be the most amazing piece for 1967, SO ahead of what anyone else was doing. WHY don't more ppl recognize him?
In France they are pretty well respected, with Jefferson include.
@@Methilde C'est vrai.
I was fortunate enough to be at Shepton Mallet Ln Somerset to witness the first ever performance of Hot Tuna in 1969. Awesome.
is it just me or if this honestly one of the greatest things on earth
It's not just you. This incredibly moving stuff.
My older brother turned me on to Airplane and Jorma in the 60's and 70;s growing up on long island ....my high school friends gave me shit about it back then...Jack and Jorma are the greatest!!!! Had the pleasure of meeting them a couple of times... both in NH...very down to earth and receptive...I'm 67 and will cherish those memories forever!!!
I've never seen this. This is absolutely amazing.
Just watched a video of them playing 55 years later, and sounding just as good!

Thankful for youngest~older brother for introducing Hot Tuna to my young~impressionable ears. So dang groovy.
I just love the way Jack does his thing, always have. He plays it like a lead guitar
Jack started his music career as a lead guitarist.
We caught Jorma at Levon Helm Studio (aka: The Barn) last week. What a joy. And it was Jack 's birthday, so Jorma called him as he show kick off, and we all sang Happy Birthday to him. Love both these guys!❤

Maybe 60+ years, eh?

AND THANK YOU L.A. FOR THE LOVE INS AT GRIFFITH PARK. DID ANYBODY EVER SEE "MOONFLEET" THERE AND THE DRUM SESSIONS AFTERWARDS. ..ETC.ETC.
What everyone else said. Casady's powerful, innovative bass artistry complemented by Jorma's impeccable finger picking is a delight for the ears.
They are the best....I don't know why people out there don't recognize them.
Oh, I do!
miyubail I agree!!!
I like my tuna one way and that’s hot
Who???
I do!! They're still playing, and still good to listen to🎶🌟🎶💯

This song and video which I truly appreciate makes me high as hell listening to these guys I have known amost of my music life of 60 years..Thank you

What an incredible duo these two make. We have to keep their music alive.
Pass Hot Tuna music down to your kids, grandkids, neighbors and friends.

I got to see these treasures live last night. They have been friends for 60 years. What a treat!
Nearly 45 yrs ago. How cool is that ? They are my fav. Jorma is my fav Finnish dude. Jack Casady is so cool. I'm 57 and I love their gig.
Were we really that young once? Oh, man all those years ago--still very cool today.
Yorma, brilliant as always, but this one is all about Jack! Clearly (thankfully) the camera person or director understood that. And Jack playing chords behind Yorma’s solo. Great stuff.
I agree, Jacks bass made the song. To me It sounds like the bass is leading at times. It wouldn't sound right without the bass That Jack is doing so skillfully.
My very first (useful) guitar lessons were from the late great Laura Weber. She was the one who got me started in 1965 - Thank You, Ms Weber!
Beautiful! I'm glad to have heard the music of Jack & Jorma, and am all the better for it!
It's 2020 and this sounds FANTASTIC!
Just saw them... at 77yo and 83yo, they've still got it.
Me too! They do!
Jack Casady, along with Phil Lesh and Jack Bruce, showed me what the electric bass guitar could achieve.
Didn't they ,though ?The instrument , and music would be forever reset
Check out Allen Woody from Govt Mule and Jaco Pastorius. Jaco is a Jazz bassist but pretty much reinvented bass playing :-) Peace
Those are wonderful influences.
Don’t forget John Entwistle.
Pail McCartney is underrated as he is a fine bassist alongside Entwistle and my favorite Jack Bruce.
Simply one of the best bassists ever.. There may be some technically better, but no one ever makes a bass growl like Casady. The emotion in his playing is amazing and add so much color to whatever he plays on.
hottuna.com/hot-tuna-tour
And don't forget his unmatched sense of syncopation.
He seems pretty mediocre to my ears. Jack Bruce put him to shame.
@@edlawrence5059 But Jack Bruce is no longer a working musician. pity!
Bless it's pointed head
Hot Tuna isn't exactly new to me, but I GET IT NOW! 😮
Thanks for turning me on to this!!!

Pure merveille de contempler ces deux virtuoses en parfaite symbiose 😊
So great. When I was young(18), 1970, I heard them in a German radio show. Recorded-and loved them since then. Thanks for uploading this masterpiece!🤗

They Were Both at the Peek of there Virtuosity!
Thank You for Sharing This!
These guys truly been there ,for real! Spirts of the age men of renound talent. Rock on!
Those guys really know each other. Very tight and Jack's bass keeps driving. Good music that hat carries you along!
No hippie crap here just 2 of The Best Musicians living! Was an Airplane fan till these guys beat feet..got to see them with Papa John Creech!
Two blokes perfectly in tune with each other, great!

Thank you!! Classic Hot Tuna...
Classic Tuna,I always loved this tune! BTW - 1957 my year too.
@@brianht1434 Mine, too. I think I wore this album out by the end of 1974.
That was out of the era I loved so much, it captured the vibe PERFECT!
I can listen to these guys all day..they have that magic touch..Hot tuna is what I play to death when I was in college
I remember seeing this and Hesitation Blues on public TV (ch 13 in NY). Mesmerizing!
Still is. Always gives me chills. Looking forward to seeing them again in Westbury in a couple weeks.
WLIW
Ch 13 !
Used to get it as a kid, way upstate.. crucial
Three concerts later over 50 yrs, still love ‘em.
excellent rendition of one of HT's most excellent hits.
I fondly remember having a pair of knee high moccasins like that, they went great with beads....unfortunately, with a thin leather sole, they wore out.
These guys have been together for years. Jack Cassidy and Jorma are both underrated especially Jorma. Almost 60 years later and there both still playing together as Hot Tuna. Love me some Jelly Roll Blues.
Jack Casady.
Love this rendition... love these guys. Two of my favorite musicians of all time.
DUDE!! the bass player is strumming the guitar!! sweet...
Jack's right hand technique is a little different which gives him a unique tone. One of my favorite Rock bassists.
Yes !
Oh fer shure !!!
Definetly one of, if not, the best bassists
Yes, so unique-one of my favorites too!

this give me chills everytime i listen to,goosebumps,frozen my spine
Yep I was 13 in ‘67-8, and my mother would take us to see the airplane, and Tuna, later. Their records played in her house , for 25-30!yrs.🙏🏾

Jack is the best bassist ever. So glad to hear soulful heart attack sound. Great time together back in time
I hear tons of Bert Jansch in Jorma's playing here. He really played in between the lines of folk, comtemporary rock and blues. What a wonderful clip!
Love Jack's hippie style - and his kick-ass bass playing.
and his incredible eyebrow action, lordy lordy but I do love these guys. Got to see them in 72, up close and Jack was working that bass and his eyebrows kind of had a language all their own...! 8D~
Did he rival the great eyebrows of Tom Synder from the Tomorrow tv show.
i love what jack casady's wearing...he's got such a cool look!
