"Candyman" performed by Hot Tuna

[@ThomasRogan-gc5pi]

Jorma and Jack are in their 80's still playing insanely GREAT music 🎵🎶 Unfortunately NO more electric tours! Fortunately I have MANY Memories 😂

[@b100ka]

just went to a show last week!

[@michaeldooley4090]

Of ALL the hippies back in the day, None looked or were cooler than Jack!

[@TheHermit72]

Jack's right hand technique is legendary, what a tone!

[@sophiastein3150]

Amazing!!

[@mackdrakfop]

I was still in the tadpole phase for this one. Thanks for inviting me, Ting sisters. Sat up in the rafters, which felt like they were swaying, people were moving and grooving in the aisles. Joints were being passed. Carnegie was invaded by happy stoned dancing people. We lived on the upper west, but after the show we walked the wrong way and ended up on Third Ave 😊. An epic evening that remains firmly enshrined in my geriatric brain. Thanks for putting this up.

Call this "Tuna melt" because my stressful day just melted away. Just sitting here smiling now.

So glad i found this today...i miss hearing Tuna on a regular basis. they were the house band in the bar i went to every week with my hippie friends from Santa Cruz!! i'll never stop missing those days and the superior music we had all the time!

[@daskitten1]

We were in the right place & time in universe to experience something special which will never be repeated. I was seeing them whenever they hit the NYC Go Jack!

[@bucksterbob55]

the best. 1970 the first album. What a gift since then. Jorma and JAck 40 years together. perfect feel. a gift!

[@colinbruce8800]

Why does this music make me so happy to hear it! I hear many songs on the radio and what ever,.... but hearing this Makes me feel really good!!

[@vancepomerening4794]

Sure wish Jorma still had this lineup together. Was very fortunate to see this incarnation about 5 times.

[@coyote721]

Some of the best music you never heard.

[@rjl032653]

Good thing, cuz this is about the last thing I'd label as 'country music'. Not sure where you're coming from. but I'd describe this as the best jazz/rock/americana music this country has to offer. These days Jorma is playing a lot more bluesy/traditional folksy music that makes me appreciate his roots even more...

[@1-shotslinger108]

I listened to my new Hot Tuna album six times in a row it was so good. HOT TUNA !

[@Epste1n5693]

Jack is such a badass :)

[@SeekerGoOn2013]

I’ve seen these guys several times over the years. Sometimes Jack just takes over.

[@bobgreen623]

Made me smile a lot. I've heard bassists who are technically way better than Jack but he has such a great feel for the music, and his sound is wonderful.

[@carlnoe2]

It’s called Style!

[@hanscyrus]

New Paltz, New Yawk, mid- to late seventies (I furgetz :) …, totally enjoyed a great evening concert with Hot Tuna with friends Mary Ann Dietrich and her two younger brothers who turned me on to Hot Tuna for the first time. People two, three, four years older than I at the time often turned me on to these excellent but obscure, non-Top-Ten-On-The-Radio bands.

[@petebrownson7125]

tuna are the best band ever---better than the dead!!

[@joealexandra7185]

That's not saying much. The Dead were the most boring band ever -- they weren't called the Dead for nothing.

NOT even CLOSE! Tuna Rules! 😂

one of the coolest things, yer say a drinking establishment and are fortunate enough to hear your selections on the juke-box is u get your $ worth songs not over in 3 mins and its real music

Love this song with an accordion, live in Japan is pry my fav version

I LOVE (and MISS) when Jack steps out and assumes the lead role as was so often the case with the Airplane aka Ballad of Me and Pooneil and 3/5th of a Mile in 10 Seconds, Its No Secret and Other Side of this Life on Bless Its Pointed Little Head...

Great version...............

[@duffcosmos6458]

saw this line up at the Alladin Theatre Portland OR.......over sold, on a hot and sweaty summer night.....everyone on their feet.

Jack is great and very lucky to be friends with Jorma when they were teenagers. Jorma is my favorite. I'm a big fan since I saw his concert in 1974!

The Owsley Stanley Foundation presents its third chapter: Bear’s Sonic Journals: Before We Were Them, Jorma Kaukonen & Jack Casady, Veterans Memorial Building, June 28, 1969, available now on CD. This live concert recording features recently discovered and previously unreleased music from Jefferson Airplane’s fabled guitar and bass players before they became known as Hot Tuna. This live concert recording features recently discovered and previously unreleased music from Jefferson Airplane s fabled guitar and bass players before they became known as Hot Tuna. Jorma and Jack are joined by Joey Covington on drums, and this intense, hard-driving muscle trio creates a sonic landscape to rival Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience.

Rev Davis didn't write it...but he did teach it to quite a few 60s students in NYC....including Jorma, Taj and Stephen Grossman. Davis was from the Piedmont school...he was the link between Willie Walker and Blind Boy Fuller.

[@mbjsrl]

Do not know who wrote it (and do not care too much) but I remember a wonderful and delicate version of the late Mississipi John Hurt...

[@pelumaad331]

@@mbjsrl ...Hurt did a totally different song...with the same title....LOL...Now that I think about it, this version is about cocaine....Hurt's was about sex....

[@pooldude317]

hey you gotta be good to sit in with accordian with Tuna

Yeah, you know, I really kinda like the accordion. It's not as "big and full" as John's violin, both for good and for bad, I guess. Others have said, and I agree, I miss Papa John.

[@lumeuriancities]

barry mitterhoff and papa john two great musicians but different. damn good violin mandolinists btw was therimin or just papa johns viola used on 30 secs. has a viola sound but a 59 marshal kind of amp overtone. like an twin reverb with an all gritty tone.

[@scalemiester]

Its not really country. They have a huge appreciation for the mutations of old country, blues & folk. When they blend it together with the mutation of rock, funk & psychedelia, they wind up with a groovy end product that makes ya wanna smoke a doobie in the back of some old pick-up truck as ya romp over the craters of the moon...
