These two are communicating with each other on a whole different level, way beyond the five senses. Love watching musicians jam like this! Pure joy!!

Completely blown away by how good they both are. So much to love there.

Robert Randolph is very underrated and under appreciated.

Mercy me! This is what music is all about - real/natural. You can see on their faces when they hit their groove,

Fil, I am always grateful to Eric Clapton for the Crossroads Festivals introducing me to the like of Gary Clark, Jr. and Robert Randolph. And to you for introducing me to people like Donato and others. Thanks for the analysis into the ins and outs of the musical expression of the artists.

Thanks Fil -- as usual, your analysis was wonderfully insightful -- most especially as a musician & teacher.

As always, your clear love of music, makes your videos incredibly enjoyable -- so, thanks again, Fil my " Midnight Special" continues!... From Harlem New York -- rock! ✌🏼💖🎶🎵

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Two guys with guitars playing together. And doing great. You know the trade and give good advice, valuable. Never was a musician, but I did juggle. And learning to juggle under not optimal conditions was a big challenge. But it helped as a performer. You will be hitting 100 K soon, and I have been with you for a long time. You really do make this time together worthwile. Rock.

[@wingsofpegasus]

Maybe!

[@markbrownner6565]

when I went to my first open mic sessions in front of an audience best advice I got was..'the stage is an instrument so learn to play it'....and look like you're having fun because enthusiasm is contagious...and remember...music it too important to be left to the professionals....

[@NickRatnieks]

Talking about pedal steel and Telecaster playing- here's a guy who excels at both. Al Perkins joined the Flying Burrito Bros- he has been in Shiloh- a Texas band that had a certain Don Henley on drums and played on their swansong album- the live "Last of the Red Hot Burritos". Since then- in the early 1970s he has played with bands that include the Rolling Stones and many other headline names Manassas ( Stephen Stills & Chris Hillman) Emmylou Harris and Mike Nesmith . He is a self-effacing guy and I have seen him twice- both times with Chris Hillman on dobro and Hillman said that Al was the best player on the bandstand. He's really amazing and did those great duets- with James Burton on the Telecaster- Al Perkins on the pedal steel on the two Gram Parsons solo albums.Here he is on Telecaster kzbin.info/www/bejne/gobbgWdtrc53mpY and here on lap steel- also at NAMM: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6Cpf6lqhZhpmcU Playing dobro with Hillman and Bernie Leadon and Jerry Scheff- finishing with a Flatt & Scruggs gospel song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZenZ3dmhsuIZq8

[@annemickelson2621]

Always nice to see musicians relaxed and enjoying themselves. Rock! :-)

[@aprils6589]

Some of the yt recommendations I get have a notation that 'Wings of Pegasus viewers also watch this channel'. One was eddie money but don't remember others. Thought it was cool.

[@Pb-ij4ip]

I love Blues in E! It literally opens the whole neck up for use (in standard tuning, of course) and allows for generous use of open chords! And seeing that security guard reminds of playing open mics! Man, those were the days!

[@willhouse]

When I read 'Daniel Donato' in the title and then saw a guy at a pedal steel in the preview pic lookin' a lot like Robert Randolph, my inner dialogue suddenly turned into one loud chorus of "OH HELLLLLS YES..."

[@darlatidwell9995]

Sounds like Chet Atkins at the Grand Ole Opry meets modern country blues. It's good.

[@mbsnyderc]

Daniel Donato was up for Americana instrumentalist of the year in 2018,he lost out to Molly Tuttle.Robert Randolph is the Jimi Hendrix of Sacred Steel Guitar.awesome stuff

[@LisaRichards_123]

I usually go to Namm is winter. It’s like going to your high school reunion, because you run into all these musicians you’ve known, some that you haven’t seem in years.

Fantastic!

[@jazzcat8786]

☝🏻

[@loripond1839]

Thanks Fil! A completely new artist I had never heard of! I will check out Daniels EP! So true what you said about current country music! My First Love for country music is the very decades you mentioned. There's a new brilliant country music documentary by Ken Burns that is now playing on PBS here in the states! You would love it, Fil!....✌❤🤘

[@RMGCBG]

Great call Fil

[@cindypowers4993]

I can understand why Daniel would want to do In At The Deep End because he and Robert are playing sort of an off the cuff jam. I like this very much. As a side note, back around 2005 or so Robert opened up for Eric Clapton when Eric was touring the US. Robert was fantastic.

[@MelindadelosSantos]

Four hours? He must’ve been in ... the zone!

[@stephens9462]

I discovered Daniel maybe 1.5 years ago when he was playing for a famous house band in Nashville (Don Kelly Band) which several great guitarists have played in. Very talented kid. Self taught. He actually sings as well and is trying to make it as a solo artist now. I see you acknowledged JD Simo. He’s another guy you should analyze. I think a lot of your followers would dig him.

[@vincegotera]

Around 10:25, Donato goes into some crescendoing triplets that were reminiscent of Jerry Garcia ... might have been modal too. Brilliant improvising by both of them. Randolph's timing is so solid throughout! Excellent choice for a video, and great analysis, Fil!

[@readtheinstructions1407]

Great analysis Fil, the blues is always a fun progression to play.

[@JeffinLowerAlabama]

Great tasty JAM with Professor Fil's tips and insight, Jeff in LA USA

[@bobbynoe1]

Went to a Gregg Allman concert in Munich at the Tollwood festival a few years ago. Unfortunately Gregg’s gig was last minute cancelled due to his heavy health problems. Most of the people went home deeply disappointed, but I decided to enter the festival tent to have a look at Gregg’s support band, which was Robert Randolph and the Family Band. Never heard about this guy, but from the first tone he blew the audience away (at that time not more than 100 persons). He and his mates played full sped ahead, changend instruments, made the aucience dance to “The March” and most of the other tunes, and when it ended after a full two and a half hour nonstop set a big crowd filled the hall, cheering for more - and they got ist! Fantastic performance, and more than a comfort for the cancellation of Gregg’s concert! Sadly enough Gregg never came back to Europe…

[@goodun2974]

By the way, for anyone interested in the history of where country music came from, or just interested in American history period, the Ken Burns documentary currently running on PBS is very good. Even my wife has found it fascinating, despite not really being a country music fan.

[@jamesgordonakacrazylegs8222]

Nice one professor I really enjoyed that. Those cats can jam. Thanks again peace Boogie Woogie. PS Carolyn Wonderland

[@TheKyPerson]

I love a good pedal steel player and Robert Randolph is one of the best. Daniel Donanto is new to me and I'm going to follow him. They play so in sync - makes most of the commercial country sound like the pablum it is.

[@jdwond3673]

RR always outstanding!

[@mariorabottini5687]

Quite new to me Fil! But gotta say they are both sensational! One great thing about jamming is that you tend to relax and allow your freedom of expression take over! Really great Fil! Cheers Mario! 😀👌🤘

[@sueschultz8329]

AWESOME!!! Young to be so good?! Really like the sound of steel guitar!

[@Neal_Schier]

Now that was cool. Really good commentary on this one Fil. Glad to see serious competence on the petal steel guitar. For some reason this made me think of another young Nashville musician who made good use of the steel. Caitlin Rose visited the UK a few years back and offered this up: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipyQaKJ5rrWKrdk

[@AkX1353]

Great Jam - Great analysis, as usual. A suggestion, a bit out of your zone . Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra. From your side of the pond, Norway. They just re releases a live "All My Tears" today. Listen to the 2015 live version, they had been playing one year at this point. Listen to the same song in 2017 - Live at Redbox. Then listen to 2019 just release today. I would love to hear your analysis of this young, up and coming band.

[@basketofdependables4244]

Wings of Pegasus have you heard a band called The HU? heavy metal mongolian throat singers. would love to watch your analysis of _that_ !

[@basketofdependables4244]

how rude of me, forgot to say i love your channel and the work that you do. thank you!

[@MelindadelosSantos]

I see NAMM was founded 1901, and since this was held in Anaheim you flew here? A Mecca of musicians. ‘Glad you had a great time! 😊

[@rcheath4258]

Robert Randolph and the Family Band, that’s one worth taking a look at Fil. To be honest, I don’t know the guy on the Tele but he is laying it down and entirely un offensive. Go get en Fil

[@winterlane2247]

The music of today for the most part has lost its connection to actual instruments. You said it best when you said that the music industry and musicians are separate. My hope is that one day the trend will reverse and real music will return. Until then at least, we the fans can take comfort from you in not allowing great music and musicians to be forgotten.

[@sue08401]

Having worked and lived in Nashville - the shocker is that even the jam bands are better than 99% of any group you will ever see. Country music has evolved and just organically evolves

[@karendahlquist2629]

also, as an aside, or question really, I guess....Do you remember Kenny Loggens and Jim Messina, album 'Full Sail'. 'The Pathway to Glory'. My favorate on that album. I just love it. I love the transions in that piece.

[@dougrobinson9236]

Robert Randolph has been one of my favorites for awhile. He is like Stevie Ray Vaughan on a pedal steel. Can you image what Stevie Ray would have done with a 13 string guitar?

[@williamsizemore98]

Every once in a while I get together with my guitar buddies and jam out some blues riffs n leads. It's fun just trading off solos. I love my Heavy Metal and Hard Rock but sometimes ya gotta pick up an old Fender Telecaster and hook up to an old Fender Reverb Amp and just Rock out clean without all the distortion and other Sound FX.

[@brianlehrer6700]

Wow.

[@-randygray-]

Robert Randolph is a young, and visible extension of a tradition called Sacred Steel made up of pedal steel players who mainly play in southern churches. I left a link on a different subject on my other channel (R.Gray) last night, but it went to spam again. It was a video of Rachel Flowers, a blind musician, who was trading solos with Dweezil Zappa.

[@jordanthecat]

Hey Fil, I really enjoy your analysis videos. Have a look at one of the greatest singer songwriters most people have never heard of: John Prine. While self-admittedly being a "simple guitar player" his songs have been making us laugh and cry since his 1971 debut album, and his current "Tree Of Forgiveness" tour dates are quickly sold out. For anyone who doesn't know of him, "Hello In There" would be a good place to start.

Hi Fil. That's cookin'! *:-)*

[@sandybulla5623]

Yes Professor Fil, your opinion on this video is spot on. These folks were definitely speaking the same language as the tune was being created. I call it getting "in the zone." Looks like the audience liked it as well.(What I could see of it.) It reminds me of Eric Clapton's Crossroads festival(s). It is so cool at those shows when at least 7 or more musicians "jam" together on one tune. All ages, legends & those who aspire to be called one as well some day. Most important, they have mutual respect for each other. Plus, they look like they are having a whole lotta fun. It makes me wish I was musically inclined. (Oh Well!) This is getting entirely too HEAVY. Bet I surprised you. Oh heck, I surprised myself! (That IS a wonder!) Hope all is well with you. This is Sandy, THE SOUTHERN LADY FROM THE USA. YES WINGMASTER FIL YOU MADE ME SERIOUS FOR A RED HOT MINUTE.... IT IS A DAY TO REMEMBER.... HEE- HEE !!! 😀🙃🔊🎶👏🤸‍♀️💙💚🧡

[@goodun2974]

Sandy Bulla, since you're down South somewhere, you really should get over to Houma Louisiana in October for the free, 3-day Voice of the Wetlands Festival hosted by blues-rock guitarist Tab Benoit. Two stages, a mix of national and regional bands, and daily admission is FREE (the Wetlands foundation gets funded from sales of food and drink). You can even camp there with tents, RVs or whatever ( I think they charge a modest fee for that). The jam sessions are wild and might run until two a.m.....and if you've never seen Tab Benoit play, you really really should! Look online for details.

[@sandybulla5623]

@@goodun2974 Bless your heart. Thank you so much for the info. I'm in North Carolina, 20 miles South of Greensboro. Randleman is where I hang my hat. That Louisiana "Blow Out" sounds like it could be a "LARGE" time. Don't know if I could make it since it's a bit of a distance. Best way for me to get there would be to fly. I'm not high maintenance but I DO NOT like to camp. The closest thing to "camping" for me would be in a RV. Not necessarily a HUGE one, but not tiny either. You had no idea you would be texting a relative of Goldilocks did you? Any motels fairly close? Bad idea they're probably all booked or the rooms that are still open probably cost out the wa-hoo. So I guess I'm OUT OF LUCK this time. When you, your best pals, & that special someone go to this shindig have an awesome time. I'll be there in spirit. Thanks Again, Sandy THE SOUTHERN LADY FROM NORTH (BY GOD) CAROLINA. 😀🙃🔊🎶👏 !!!!!!!!!! ******(((

[@goodun2974]

@@sandybulla5623 , My wife and I live in Southern New England and so we flew to Louisiana. We stayed in the French Quarter of New Orleans For several days, Then rented a car and drove to Houma which is only about an hour's drive from New Orleans. There are plenty of hotels in motels within 10 or 15 minutes of the campgrounds where they hold the festival common and many of the people in town didn't even seem to know that there was a festival taking place, so it shouldn't be any problem getting a Room if you do decide to go. They had a bit of everything, there was rock, blues, jazz, Cajun and Creole and zydeco, some country fiddlin', and the local School of Rock band played as well. Nearly everybody who played at the festival seems to play 3 instruments. Must be something in the water! Tab Benoit also plays drums, in addition to guitar, and he has a recording studio where some of the other musicians who typically play at the festival have recorded, so there's all kinds of jamming going on well into the wee hours of the night and morning . The Friday Night Guitar Fight jam had a half dozen different guitarists on stage all taking turns! We particularly enjoyed bassist-to-stars Doug Wimbish playing with guitarist Eric McFarland; Jumpin' Johnny Sansone and his band were also excellent, as was the Chubby Carrier Zydeco Swamp Band. I just hope the weather is good for them; when we were there it was unusually cool and dry, like early fall in New England, and we thought it was absolutely perfect weather but the folks who live there were all pulling out their jackets that they hardly ever have to wear!
