Andy Timmons - Official Bootleg - Cry For You *Best Quality Version*

[@tanerkr8713]

He was the best guitarist in the universe on that day

[@makozikmarko3733]

101% agree

[@giobu75]

I agree with you. I'm tremendously jealous of whoever was there that day :-).

[@abelzeliang7877]

Agreed 1000000 percent. How he just gets lost into a state of trance is almost unbelievable.

[@Pal-nl7he]

@@abelzeliang7877 Yes, and it seems it sometimes happens with international artist during live concerts in Japan. Search your favourite artist and see. The atmosphere maybe.

[@gavinsnyder5627]

Both Paul Gilbert and Steve Vai were also playing at this concert. Steve played some very tasty tunes too. But this song was probably my favorite from this concert. This is the best version of this song I've come across. Andy was in the zone. Lol.

[@SpecialEd44]

If you're a guitar player, this is hands down the best 8 minutes on KZbin.

[@paulcurie1235]

This and Gary Moore’s performance at fender 50th concert.

[@monabale8263]

probably something like Psalms 23 'cause he wrote it for the victims of 911.

[@sike2805]

for me, this is one of the most emotional instrumental song of all time!!

[@TinusTegenlicht]

It is indeed, it feels if Andy's guitar is not plugged into an amp, but straight into his heart. I got tears in my eyes so many times listening to this gem.

[@paullevine1813]

Andy's On Your Way Sweet Soul is right up there with this. The man has got the gift.

[@TinusTegenlicht]

@@paullevine1813 Have you heard Jubilant also? A gem also, but most are great. I hope he puts that one on a future record and I hope he makes it twice as long.

check out 'Gone' If you haven't already by andy

[@deanwitt7903]

Every guitarist knows there are just some days when you can’t put a foot wrong . Something is being channeled through you . Your tone , your choice of notes ,your feel and musical influences all come together at once . It’s rear and it’s magic . Andy Timmons most certainly found his inner guitar god in this performance . Insane .

[@dannyhood4007]

Those days are so rare. Adapting to snail house songs, is like trying to play polyphia. Elite guitarist struggle tryin to learn polyphia. Younger players with less experience seem to learn faster, they practice but not like 8 hours daily. Young guitarist learn rhythm blues chops originally Hendrix (muddy waters) adding flamenco, thump technique that creates totallynew style. Eighties shredders Paul Gilbert Marty Friedman are terrified. Steve vai is only one, I seen admit he cant do what polyphia does. Polyphia can play anything Paul Gilbert, or yngyang, on spot. They don’t play acoustic like polyphia. Lmao!!

[@alexanderdavis9636]

​@@dannyhood4007I don't like polyphia music, this is my taste.

[@anistissaoui]

@@dannyhood4007I appreciate polyphia, but they can’t make the guitar cry like Andy and others. They don’t ring much bell into my ears. I appreciate the technical evolution and the melodic layering. I personally learned bits of playing god and it is so fun to play. Yet it is just fun, not much soul in it.

[@anistissaoui]

@@dannyhood4007 PS: their music is so caged and quantized that it doesn’t allow the freedom of playing outside in terms of tempo and tone.

[@JamieAllison-wv1kp]

Weird take. Andy Timmons is a god. He wasn't just magically good "on this day." He's always like this.

[@AhmadSleeq]

Am not exaggerating when I say this version of cry for you changed my life. Still gives me goosebumps 15 years later.

[@charliedoyle8464]

this one of the most stunning performances ever. so much emotion

[@spyrosstathis1250]

This guitar performance should be taught not only in every music school but also in regular schools just to show to the students what music can offer and what a human being, like Andy, can have in his pure soul

[@stewartxp2400]

I'm pretty much speechless here. I used to be obsessed with this song and never saw this, not only is this song an absolute masterpiece, but this performance right here is a masterpiece in itself. A timeless moment right here, with so many powerful moments in it. Just legendary.

Still love this song after almost 20 years, especially love watching this live performance, how he always playing with so much emotion, and you can tell he's really feeling those notes he played, and it makes you feeling it too.. he only care about music he plays and not acting like a cool guitar god on stage. such pure expression from a musician is not something you can easily find in other guitarists

20 years? I must be living under a rock. I just came across this two days ago? And..........WOW!!!!

My guitar teacher showed me this video when I was starting some advanced lessons with him. After this video, I learned three things: 1.- It's possible to become one with your guitar and go into full beast mode when you love what you're doing and you play for passion, not for a living. 2.- Andy Timmons became to me, in that very moment, one of my absolute references to rock instrumental guitar. 3.- When you learn how to tell a story with your guitar, lyrics are not needed. This is the BEST instrumental ballad I've heard in my whole life. Thank you Andy!!!!

[@rickyhunter5182]

From all the performance videos amoung decades, I think this tone is the most suitable for this song. It sounds wild and raw, not a perfect solo tone for most ones. But with Andy it has amazing dynamics, and the aggressive high frequencies in the distortion, combined with amazing high pitch harmonic , really sounds like crying. You can hear the guitar talking to you, from a true performer.
