I love Robben Ford, but have to admit, I like his playing better in this era, up through the mid-90s'ish where he would play with a lot of fire and passion. His playing lately is still tasty but kinda "sleepy" sounding.
@@fourthofseven Umm, no it isn't. He has ALWAYS been sophisticated in his playing. His playing now lacks fire and inspiration. That's not the same thing as being more mature or more sophisticated. You're white-washing this topic out of your love for Robben.
@iansnyder274 I get that to a point, but there are plenty of musicians who play with fire and passion at that age and don't make excuses due to their age. Like Peter Frampton, David Gilmour, Bob Weir, Neal Schon, Robert Plant, etc....
Robben had the best put together look. He and the band just nailed the song. Mucsicality, confidence and style, a perfect trifecta.
I love robben ford i seen him live last year in a small venue it was brilliant a guitar hero of mine for sure would love to meet him one day.
Came here for Robben (who is brilliant as always), but check out that bass player!!!
the infallible and grooving Roscoe Beck
Roscoe is one of my favorite bass players... keeps it interesting. And w Brechtlein, Robben"s best rhythm section IMHO.
My no 1 RFord song and solo
Brilliant!
Best version ive seen yet! on FIRE!
Thanks
Robben's a class act.
Insane
What I don't understand is he says he doesn't practice.
I guarantee he practiced hundreds of hours to get to this point.
@@wmdoux2108 He claims he doesn't practice, I don't believe it.
I think Robben Ford and Natalie Merchant should do a mash-up...

His playing is more sophisticated, melodic & mature now.

@@1970borntorun It’s the fire of youth! As we age, it gets harder to keep it burning with the same intensity, just seems to be the way things go.
It's called age! Smh...
He is 70 years old!

the drummer are the same one of Stevie Ray Vaughan, or I'am wrong?
No that is not Chris Layton.
