I was lucky enoough to be at this show, my first David Lindley live experience. Mind blowing. I recall David talking about them bringing string instruments from the California dryness to the humidity of New Orleans and watching them warp and become unusable. Didn't stop them from playing one helluva show in the Louisiana rain. RIP David...
@@timothylewis2450 That happened in the '90s (year?) when they played a benefit at the Arlington Theatre in Santa Barbara for a progressive candidate for the 5-member governing board overseeing that county. Kenny Loggins also played a set. It was a memorable show. And I was lucky to be in SB for a conference for work that week and got in to see it! (and ran into the Mullicans there, Ry's neighbors and old family friends)
RIP David Lindley! Remember getting told to sit down when you made us want to dance at the Golden Bear way back in the 1980's Counted 16 shows from my ticket stub jar, that I attended. Lindley is the slide guitar king; not to mention the master of an incredible collection of stringed instruments! Thanks for rocking all those years; and all those songs; and concerts!
Can't say for sure, but back-up singers are Terry Evans, Bobby King, maybe Arnold McCuller or Willie Green. They worked w/ Ry a lot over the years. Check this concert out if you haven't heard it before: th-cam.com/video/tbtoXRFOwEc/w-d-xo.html
Ry and David playing together always brings a smile to my face, and ya gotta love them gospel-inflected harmonies. Just 'cause I lean towards atheism doesn't mean I can't worship at the Church of Good Friends Making Great Music Together, right?!
Ry is one of the most unappreciated guitarists and has been for a long time. He can play any style of music at a very high level. Lindley is right up there with Ry. Linda Ronstadt called him the best guitar player she ever saw.
"Underappreciated"???? Only to out of it, unaware and way too young people. All critics, fans and fellow musicians have always "appreciated" Ry Cooder and have the highest praise of him since he first came on the scene in the 60's.
Ry is a national treasure. Too bad most won't take the time to figure that out. I'm glad that there is more to music than most of the crap on the air these days.
You ever hear a piece of music and feel it so much that you have to listen to it on repeat? I'm having that experience with this performance and my God is it glorious. This is what it's all about. It is truly a religious experience when it touches you like that. Powerful stuff, here. Wow.

David Lindley and Ry Cooder is amasing in this performance..on stage and fantastic..legends at there best..Ry Cooder is making things happen in concert in front of thousands..incredible legendary music ..Ry Cooder a grand singer..never forgotten
I hope this Covid-19 blow outs and Mollusk Surf Shop in Venice Beach (California) once again starts doing live shows. I'd love to see Ry or David there. Or at McCabe's Guitar shop in nearby Santa Monica.
Sometimes called a Mandocaster. I believe technically it’s an octave guitar. Full props to Lindley too on that bouzouki. There’s nothing with strings they can’t play.
I found a short video about this instrument. He goes into great detail about the setup and shortcomings of the instrument, but it sounds so sweet. th-cam.com/video/GM9CaT1RtiA/w-d-xo.html
Thanks to everyone here on this stage..Ry Cooder a legend and his son a great performer and David Lindley is terrific on that guitar and sings so good..great band..I enjoy all this terrific music..thank you all
Crazy about a Mercury huh..let the times roll on David Lindley and Ry Cooder..get it on boys..never forgotten..on stage and music flowing out ,how grandly..
I’m guessing that’s an electric mandolin that Ry’s playing (anybody know?). That can’t be an easy instrument to play (unless you’re Ry Cooder, I guess). Love me some Ry. Love his breadth. And props to Mr Lindley. Saw him live once opening for and then backing up Bonnie and Bruce (and Jackson Brown and Shawn Colvin). Outdoors and kissed by awful weather from an inland hurricane. Didn’t slow down anyone, not even a little. Pretty fantastic show
I saw Ry and Dave at the Newport FF in ‘90. What an absolute thrill to see these two slide masters play together. Ry and Dave - both national treasures. RIP Mr Dave 😢
Legends playing on stage and the drummer is keeping every beat..Ry Cooder And David Lindley are musicians that spread the word everywhere they are..rhythm is great
Seriously, NOLA Jazz Fest has had more legendary performances than dang near any festival. It’s just absolutely amazing who might show up on stage to play with some other legendary artist. All the love!
They must have closed what was then the Ray Ban Stage that day. Great crowd. Love the close up of Lindley's solo in Mercury Blues. Anyone have the whole set?
Got two legends on this stage..David Lindley and Ry Cooder..best entertainment and guitar players in performance..rhythem and melody is fantastic with backup singers at there best..

Well, it's not a question of better or worse. Derek Trucks e.g. is one of a kind, too, and maybe his slide technique is unique, but both's slide playing is not comparable. But it's goddam enjoyable! What everybody can say: This is the slide guitar player I like most! Might be Duane Allman or Sonny Landreth or Derek Trucks or Ry Cooder or ...
@@RogerSteinbrinkh2oBrother True, I miss that dude, he would've come up with a hoodoo tune. I could see Bobby Lounge writing a funny piece about it. Allen Toussaint would have a brilliant song about it. Spencer Bohren could've written a "Long Black Line" equivalent of the pandemic. The deceased Nevilles and their living brothers could really funkify the virus. Dr. John would come up with something that would desitively knock me out. And Paul Barrierre, Lowell George, Ritchie Hayward, and the rest of Little Feat woulld slay all of us coming up with the "Wuhan Boogie."
Man oh man. What a treat! I love these guys. Thank you so much for posting. This needs to go mainstream. Our current generation, so called music producers have a thing or two to learn.
It is msgic watching these older clips of what were the days when music came from their soul..historicaly Ry has done so much for music revival to the rest of the planet from Cuba...before so many of them died well into their eighties...bless him I say..what a beautiful human..♥
I can easily play better than either one of these HACKS !! For some strange reason , I just choose not to ! ...... and then I woke up ..... and wept ..... AGAIN !!!
At this moment Ry Cooder is my favorite singer of all time. Other times might be David Bowie, Annie Lennox, Johnny Cash. But right now it's Ry. _all day_
2 of the GREATEST guitarists to ever live.....and 3 of the BEST background singers!!!
I was lucky enoough to be at this show, my first David Lindley live experience. Mind blowing. I recall David talking about them bringing string instruments from the California dryness to the humidity of New Orleans and watching them warp and become unusable. Didn't stop them from playing one helluva show in the Louisiana rain. RIP David...
Me too.
Life changing stuff😊
Gotta be thankful to have been alive to hear Ry Cooder and David Lindley play together. An honor!
Lindley is a brilliant musician. My Dream show or album would be him, Cooder and Jackson Browne. Why hasn’t this happened?
That’s great
I’ve been thankful twice both times in Glasgow and both great shows 👍 Also seen Ry every tour in GB since ‘88
Amen brother.

Amen, Brother!
Hate organized religion... and, love Jesus. You'll do alright that way.
RIP David Lindley, so sorry you have left this world, it was so awesome to listen to & see your playing!! Jackson will miss you, I know I do.❤
Ry Cooder is a GIANT in our music today....brings us the old stuff and his own unique sound. No charge! What a guy!!!
the dates were April 30, and May 1 '94 - i was there - they later backed malian guitarist ali farka toure!
God Bless Ry, Cooder for what he has contributed to contemporary music. And Thanks for bringing your son into this blessed mix.
Amen to that, Jeanne Callahan. This is such a beautiful version of this song. Ry’s got Jesus on the Mainline for sure!
Amen
Jeanne Callahan, Bill Callahan wrote a song titled "Ry Cooder" : th-cam.com/video/gmAkcSagkzI/w-d-xo.html
I love the Staples too. Pops Staples was amazing. God bless Ry Cooder! Best guitar player of all time! x
Ry is one of the most unappreciated guitarists and has been for a long time. He can play any style of music at a very high level. Lindley is right up there with Ry. Linda Ronstadt called him the best guitar player she ever saw.
Linda's praise of Ry is exactly why I am here! He, David and Leland Skylar all amazing musicians!
"Underappreciated"???? Only to out of it, unaware and way too young people. All critics, fans and fellow musicians have always "appreciated" Ry Cooder and have the highest praise of him since he first came on the scene in the 60's.
Exactly! Totaly NOT unapppreciated!, most of the people just never heard of him or David, or Leland, or James, or Jackson, or Waddy or........
I was at this show. Ry also played a set with Ali Farka Toure. One of the greatest musical weekends ever. EVER.
me too both of those sets-aft n ry was ar congo if memory serves-old congo
Brian Smith I was there too, one of my favorite Jazzfests. Hiatt and The Goners on RayBan that day as well.
Brian Smith I don't doubt that!
Brian Smith You were one lucky SOB! This is priceless - to see these two on the same stage!
Brian Smith, do you happen to remember the exact year?
Thank you David Lindley for sharing your enormous gifts with us. Rest well. 😔
Must be great for Ry to be playing with his son. Great music
Ryland Cooder.. one of the best guitar players of this galaxy.. Perhaps he is an alien...
Ry is a national treasure. Too bad most won't take the time to figure that out. I'm glad that there is more to music than most of the crap on the air these days.
I lived right across the street from the fairgrounds NOLA from 1968-1972 .... RIP David one of a kind....
Regardles of posting before, this is musical mastery by two greatest exponents of this genere. So good.
RIP Mr. Dave...what a treasure.
This one really got me 😢
Hallelujah! Joachim on the drum, behind his Dad. Love you guys. God Bless the Cooders!
Magnificent, Cooder & Lindley together. Is there anything more from this set, can't believe there were only 2 songs
Ry is a trip altogether man. Just watching him make music is a joyful experience.
I’ve been a Ry Cooder fan for decades. On that first song, is that a mandolin?
I love this music, All these musicians are pure class
Yep...that's Ry Cooder and David Lindley... Two of a Kind...or to say a perfect pair...nice vocals...good band...best musical spirit 😇😁🎸🎼
You ever hear a piece of music and feel it so much that you have to listen to it on repeat? I'm having that experience with this performance and my God is it glorious. This is what it's all about. It is truly a religious experience when it touches you like that. Powerful stuff, here. Wow.
America needs more joyful Spirituals like this one. Fantastic! Thanks be to our God. 🙏✝️
The healing power of music. The Staples singers, Ry Cooder, and David Lindley.

I have really tough days now, this soothes me, how beautiful you play and your voice; so expressive.
Thank you, @Ry Cooder
I was at this show. A thunderstorm was threatening throughout the entire show, but it never did, thank goodness. Memorable show.
I remember walking over from an amazing Wynton Marsalis set and hearing Jesus On the Mainline louder and clearer as I approached. Magic music day!
God bless these guys - Hallelujah haven´t ever heard anything like this

Lindley is The MAN ! .. and he always dresses so well !!
Very greasy indeed
First of all I just need to take a moment to absorb the awesomeness of that little 12 string guitar/ mandolin😳
Sometimes called a Mandocaster. I believe technically it’s an octave guitar. Full props to Lindley too on that bouzouki. There’s nothing with strings they can’t play.

Ry and his band do it for the LOVE of the music ☮️
Thanks to everyone here on this stage..Ry Cooder a legend and his son a great performer and David Lindley is terrific on that guitar and sings so good..great band..I enjoy all this terrific music..thank you all
Ry’s son Joaquín on percussion and long time collaborators Terry Evans, Bobby King and Willie Green on vocals.
Crazy about a Mercury huh..let the times roll on David Lindley and Ry Cooder..get it on boys..never forgotten..on stage and music flowing out ,how grandly..
Lindley - you fashion plate you!
Saw Mr Dave in his finest polyester in Charlotte years back.
I've never seen him wear anything "normal" and that's OK. We got enough normal people.
@@bigred1222 I mean, "What has he come as?"
WOW
Totally magnificent clip of some incredible musicians.
Amazing sounds & so,so good.
Great , just great.
Please keep this up.
I enjoy it so much.
Thank you for posting .
David has this light hearted hop to his music. Great to see him live, on video, where the man shines forth. No better pair than David and Ry.
Remember he has worked with the majestic Jackson Browne what seems for ever
I’m guessing that’s an electric mandolin that Ry’s playing (anybody know?). That can’t be an easy instrument to play (unless you’re Ry Cooder, I guess). Love me some Ry. Love his breadth.
And props to Mr Lindley. Saw him live once opening for and then backing up Bonnie and Bruce (and Jackson Brown and Shawn Colvin). Outdoors and kissed by awful weather from an inland hurricane. Didn’t slow down anyone, not even a little. Pretty fantastic show
Octave 12-string guitar (half standard length, one octave higher). Don't see too many of them!
Absolutely bloody brilliant
I saw Ry and Dave at the Newport FF in ‘90. What an absolute thrill to see these two slide masters play together. Ry and Dave - both national treasures. RIP Mr Dave 😢
How about a nod to Bobby, Terry and Willie
Lindley & Cooder are both people !
Goosebumps for decades ........ wonderful
Grateful to have these clips here. If you feel it, you know it.
Legends playing on stage and the drummer is keeping every beat..Ry Cooder And David Lindley are musicians that spread the word everywhere they are..rhythm is great
Drummer is Ry's son..he's also featured in Buena Vista Social Club vid
Seriously, NOLA Jazz Fest has had more legendary performances than dang near any festival. It’s just absolutely amazing who might show up on stage to play with some other legendary artist. All the love!
Beautiful! Looks like Terry Evans & Bobby King on backing vocals as well
And Willie Green, the bass singer
I already miss Dave Lindley. What a great performance with Ry Cooder and his son Joachim on drum.
These are not the Staple Singers. These guys were in Cooder's band
Vocals by longtime collaborators Terry Evans, Bobby King and Willie Green.
Gets no better!
Crazy 'bout a Mercury a Lindley classic. The guys is just a genius! Blessings to you...Ed
The best kinda Magic caught like lightning in a jug
I was there. ❤️
They must have closed what was then the Ray Ban Stage that day. Great crowd. Love the close up of Lindley's solo in Mercury Blues. Anyone have the whole set?
Wow. Slide mandolin. Ry's so great!
Ry Cooder and the Prince of Polyester, no better.
SWEET...SWEET....SWEET!! PLAYING THIS OVER AND OVER. HONEY TO MY EARS!!!!
And best of all, they play in their pijamas! Long live Ry & Dave L.
Seen Lindley in Vancouver, Burnaby Blues Festival WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RY is my number 1 SLIDE player ..
Perfect Sound 😍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Got two legends on this stage..David Lindley and Ry Cooder..best entertainment and guitar players in performance..rhythem and melody is fantastic with backup singers at there best..
Is there a decent biography out there about Ry Cooder? Just wondering. If not, there should be.
" The Unbroken Circle", Tradition and Innovation in the Music of Ry Cooder and Taj Mahal, written by Fred Metting. It's not a biography, but it's really interesting. There also are two books about Ry Cooder : "Ry Cooder, Meester in de Schaduw", written in Dutch by Wouter Bulckaert, and a biography written in Italian.

Such a wonderful artist Rye and David and the gospel brothers just perfect
Two of the guitar greats. BTW that's Ry's son Joachim on dunbek etc. Ry taught guitar lessons at the Ash Grove in the mid 60s when I began learning. Unfortunately I never got any lessons from him.

What a cool surprise to find this.

There’s No one I love more than Ry Cooder and David Lindley together 👏👏👏👏👏👏. They Always Lift Me Up 🤣
What a treat. Slide heaven and Jesus too.
Seem Ry and David Lindley so many times in San Francisco Bay Area! Loved seeing them at Great American Music Hall!
Inspiring performance. Ry and David great of course, but awesome F-ing drumming
Joachim is a terrific musician for sure.
Believe this song was written by an aboriginal/ first nation person here in Australia, called Jimmie Little and song was "Jesus on the Telephone." circa 1954.or maybe a cover? Any clues ?
It's listed as "traditional" & not much else in Google ....
@@stevenattanasso2003 Thanks for the reply, gonna chase this down.
NO ONE can do a slide better than Ry..been a fan and listening to him since the '60's
Well, it's not a question of better or worse. Derek Trucks e.g. is one of a kind, too, and maybe his slide technique is unique, but both's slide playing is not comparable. But it's goddam enjoyable! What everybody can say: This is the slide guitar player I like most! Might be Duane Allman or Sonny Landreth or Derek Trucks or Ry Cooder or ...
Those were the days. Jazz Fest , good artists, pre-storm. Superb.....
reasonably priced too.
Yeah and pre-pandemic. These guys need to come up with the "Wuhan Blues".

I've not seen this before. Gospel's generally not my bag but this is actually quite good.
btw Ry Cooder recorded the first digitally album in rock history with his 1979 album Bop Till You Drop.
I love it that Im one of the few - or maybe the only - people around these parts who has a copy of El Rayo-X
I got one and cherish it

Only a 1/4 of a man would make that statement!
One who’s had their romeos taken off.....

And u know why!

Two of the very best. Thank you David.
Can you Imagine having Ry for your dad?
Great, great music; and epically bad camerawork and direction. Sheesh.
0:06 Jesus on the Mainline
6:03 Mercury Blues
Love this festival...it's been 18 years. Gotta get back down there! I caught Ry, Mr. Dave & Joaquin In '90, Vancouver.
that's some powerful shit right there.
Man oh man. What a treat! I love these guys. Thank you so much for posting. This needs to go mainstream.
Our current generation, so called music producers have a thing or two to learn.
One of the poorer video's made. Love the music though. and the subtitles in what, Chinese? Priceless.
Right? 😊
Japanese,giving info about our beloved musicians,it seems I missed everything he did in Japan,but not in
Amsterdam in the seventies!
All I want to know is. Did Ry Crooder ever sing at Gord Downie's eulogy?
OMG what a treasure to find! love these guys
It is msgic watching these older clips of what were the days when music came from their soul..historicaly Ry has done so much for music revival to the rest of the planet from Cuba...before so many of them died well into their eighties...bless him I say..what a beautiful human..♥
at first I read the song title at 0:30 as "Jesus on the Mandolin", and I just thought "yeah, that's about right".
Great performance and terrible camerawork. (laughter)
I can easily play better than either one of these HACKS !!
For some strange reason , I just choose not to !
...... and then I woke up .....
and wept ..... AGAIN !!!
Ry is the master of ANY Number of strings!
At this moment Ry Cooder is my favorite singer of all time.
Other times might be David Bowie, Annie Lennox, Johnny Cash. But right now it's Ry. _all day_
Thanks Mr. Cooder for your music and life vision. From Italy 🍇❤️
Legends..Ry Cooder and David Lindlwy
I was there! Phew! Ry is my hero!
