Still have my Roland synth G505 guitar. What a group

Wow the Rippingtons are awesome. I'm glad I got to see em at the Thornton Winery.

I first saw and heard this band at a public park in Tulsa, Ok, in the mid 80s, a free show when they were just starting out, and there was no stage, they just played on the same grass the public was, no chairs, and I was about 15 feet from Russ Freeman and they played a lot of tunes, now classics. Great band.

the best smmothjazz band

Oh my goodness...... I remember hearing this near the time it was released....maybe 1990 ...? I was 26 then.... a whole lot of time has come and gone since then. I was living in a Northern suburb of Chicago at the time. Their sound is so dynamic and really fit the backdrop of the city and its suburbs . My life is so very different now bur hearing this brings back a lot of memories. God's Peace to all here! 🙏✌️

The Vibe of a sane World.

This was the better band. And music of the Rippingtons I enjoyed the most.

Destiny one of their finest songs ! Tourist in Paradise Album ..1989 🏖 Rippingtons incredible 1989 - 1995 One of the Tastiest Jazz bands ever 🎷

A great band i saw them twice once at Merriweather post pavilion in Maryland , and once at va town point with Paul Taylor , both times they were just excellent just great playing live ..standing ovation from the crowd !

Son hermosos los rippingtons

ねーさんですね!

Killing tune, legend Audio too weak badly...

I love jeff kashiwa!!!!!!!

I'd like to music

Tony Morales was the BEST they ever had

Those mullets....

I love the early songs :>)

the piano sounds horrible 🤦‍♂️

Jeff Kashiwa is a legend.

I see Tony Morales on the Drums and Jeff Kashua all the Horns! Im I correct?

Rippingtons it matches roping it

The Ripps were a uniquely great band at this particular point in time. Their music was cutting edge and they played tight. Evokes great memories of the late 80s/early 90s for me.

This could the 90s described for a time capsule

up till now.. still the best!

Yes, there aren't many decent live videos of Russ / The Rippingtons...thank you for uploading

Really big fan of the Rippingtons--especially back in the 90s. Saw them multiple times but they never played this song. So glad to see it now. ONly question i have is...Steve Reid is so great at percussion...so how can he have so little rhythm? :)

Great song.

perla

Best ever line-up !!!!

love this video, I saw they live at Jakarta in 1994. they'll come again March 2016. yippe

This is one of my favorite tunes by the Rippingtons. I've been a fan for 25 years. Only managed to see them live once. Nice fusion group.

One of their best tunes!

power mullets, awesome !!! my favorite ripps music had kashiwa, but all the sax players are great.

Fusion in future(0)(0)

Please come back to New Orleans.....my children, and I are waiting. God bless you all!!! always.

I have been a fan of the Rippintons since they first started. Whenever they make it o New Orleans , which is very rare. Because I have to WORK!!!. But I 've been looking them up constantly. I will always have you guys as my favorite band. My children grew up listening to you, and know every song.

Gracias por compartir tan buen video!

The Ripps are golden! Thanks for the post.

Man..........one of the best sounding bands of all times past present and future!!!!!!!!!

Finally, I see Russ using that flute synth sound!

Really? A flat saxophone player? That shouldn't happen.

how does he get that keyboard effect on his guitar?

SO MUCH ENERGY! I CAN'T STAND IT! MY HEAD JUST EXPLODED! WOOOOOW!!!

Such talent and just dripping with all of the class in the whole world!!! Thank you so much for posting this video!! Where are all these guys now??? Would love to know!

love this Smooth Jazz group

The Rippingtons are one of my original, major inspirations for becoming a musician. This was definitely the most tightly night line-up of the Rippingtons in their 20+ year history (no disrespect to the current members). The overall sound has seemed to have lost something since "Topaz" as I'm just not impressed with anything that has come out since :(. Some songs are ok, and I listen to but no song has grabbed my ear like it used to (except "six four") since "Summer Lovers" on their Topaz CD

Thanks for your comment! This is one of my most favorite songs...and I wish they play it again.

You're welcome! Thanks for stopping by!!

Glad you too think this is a great song. Thanks for your comment!!

Russ should bring percussion back to the band. The new Rippingtons Lite just doesn't do well with us old Rippington fans. No disrespect to Dave,he does a hell of a job playing drums with latin percussion fills. Keeps a drummer busy.
