Cory Wong // "Here To Stay" (feat. Larry Carlton)

[@thejamiebodyssey9496]

I can only imagine the thrill of Cory and the band to have a giant like Larry Carlton playing with them considering the work he's done on so many classic albums. For me, his work with Joni Mitchell was a gamechanger.

[@dmljones2550]

Larry’s work with Steely Dan from 1975 to 1978 including Katy Lied, The Royal Scam, Aja especially and Gaucho was rich in diversification as was his input into Donald Fagens fabulous album The Nightfly. Whilst not mentioned in the forum with with Coryand Mark I’m sure when Larry said but my music is 45 years old and they replied they love that stuff they would have been thinking Fagen and Becker. In fact Larry’s influence on SD was huge. And don’t get me wrong I’m a Joni fan.

[@duncansmith8992]

His work with the Crusaders was groundbreaking as well. Check out Those Southern Nights of you haven’t already. Some of his best work.

[@markipelagogogo]

@@dmljones2550 Rick Beato did an awesome deconstruction of Larry's solo on Kid Charlemagne. He's a tremendous soloist.

[@thmsrttg]

With Steely Dan too

[@eleetse6701]

@@dmljones2550 His little fills and outro on “Help Me” is the most emotive and badass playing I’ve ever experienced and I’ve listened to it 10,000 times. What a genius deal to pair him with Joni Mitchell and Steely Dan, his work sort of defines those artists for me.

Something about Larry’s playing scratches the “just right” itch in your brain. It’s so fluid and smooth but also right in the pocket, and grasps the feeling of the tune perfectly. Long live Larry Carlton🙌

[@lukenath6983]

This is perfectly described. It never feels overkill.

[@garyharris3608]

It’s great to see Larry playing his signature Sire guitar on stage and not the ES335

2:34 perfection in the pocket begins 🤩 oh Larry you owned it!

[@discobacon5160]

Hats off to Mark who could solo the heck out of this progression but plays support in service of the song!

[@arnlmndza]

He's alongside Luke when playing rhythm. Unobtrusive but you just know that what they're doing supports the groove.

[@gfrozin]

Man, that look in Cory's face watching the master do his thing

[@Crema59]

Just a few notes from Larry Carlton can transport you to heaven-because it’s Larry’s signature! You guys are so fortunate to once jam with a living legend.

[@robbmcc420]

Cory Wong. Seriously becoming the king of my musical world.

[@ManHeIsAwesome]

I love the fact that Larry Carlton uses his own signature guitars.

Joyous to see the smile move from bandmember to bandmember as Larry relaxes into his groove. Joyous! Smiles all round!

[@okutsutaka2589]

Love Larry's play, always makes me feel positive about life! The whole band enjoys the moment, too, and that is the power of good music. Thank you all!

[@byleew]

Great song! Larry's minimal playing shows that you don't need a lot of notes to communicate a feeling. Such a great series you all are doing. Thanks!

[@abhinandanghosh2028]

Love the subtle way in which Mr Carlton plays the licks. Feels smooth. Cory is good as well.

Grazie.

Listening to this music it came from the bottom of my heart to make a contribution of support to these fabulous musicians ... Come on, come on, let's help beautiful and true music.

Ascoltando questa musica mi è venuto dal profondo del cuore dare un contributo di sostegno a questi favolosi musicisti... Dai, forza, aiutiamo la musica bella e vera.

[@momarbalsamo]

Not sure how or why but this song is full of HOPE. Like being assured that there is always a sunrise waiting for us, regardless of the hard life we've gone through. Kinda cheesy but that's really how this made me feel. Thank you and never stop Cory and the Wongnotes! ❤🎵

[@grammolajones2809]

The song is awesome because it makes me smile and want to dance! Yes, it’s full of HOPE!

[@DrunkieCat]

To me it brings happiness

[@jakelannetti3128]

Larry Carlton has a truly magical touch with timing and phrasing.

[@just_jarman]

This is just so lovely. So happy to have this in our generation, and still the records of legends before. Look at Cory on stage with his greatest influences! Smiling.

[@davidreid1171]

"The Great Larry Carlton". What a serious Master Guitarist.

[@studentsmusic]

Wowww...Larry is a legend and Cory and the band got that point. What fun must it be to play with your hero. The chemistry is totally perfect and for me as an old LC fan right from the beginnings so nice to see, that the flame is still burning especially here between the old and young cats. GREAT!

[@oe3phen]

this song just fires on every cylinder-- going to make this my summer vibe

[@jSonTX]

Came here for Larry and find out about Cory. Wow! Great playing all the way around!

[@jonathonmcmillan9410]

Mark Littieri is the unsung genius in this track for so masterfully blending his baritone lines in between the guitars and bass. Cory and Larry are absolutely fantastic, but Mark is really enhancing the atmosphere without stepping on anyone.

[@stereoroid]

It’s also nice to see both Larry and Cory playing their signature guitars (Sire & Fender respectively).

[@scottrowe533]

It's not often, these days, that you see 13 really talented musicians grooving effortlessly on the same stage, which is why I love this video. It's far more rare that one of those 13 is Larry Carlton and another is Cory Wong! I've been a devoted fan of Larry's playing since the early '80s, when he was putting out albums like "Sleepwalk" and "Strikes Twice." He is a consummate professional who always delivers the goods, and has been a 'hired gun' on hundreds of sessions, ranging from several Steely Dan albums to the theme song for the television show "Hill Street Blues." I am also very fortunate to have seen him on his 1986 tour, which produced the Grammy Award-winning live album, "Last Nite." Jazz-rock guitarists don't come any cooler or more talented than Larry Carlton. Thank you.

[@markipelagogogo]

I grew up a kid loving Smiles and Smiles to Go. Saw Carlton with Fourplay. Fast forward to now, I'm a huge Vulfpeck and Snarky fan, to see THIS HAPPEN my heart is so incredibly full. Mr. 335 himself with the same crew that collaborated with Dirty Loops as well. There is so much frickin amazing music being made. What a gift.

[@Carrylikemariah]

Each time Larry plays that first licc in the chorus, he looks up, nods and smiles at the end of the phrase.. like; "yeah these are the notes and they really do sound this good".

[@clarkgregb]

Cory! Continuing to to push a genre to a new audience. In a world of guitar solos going by the wayside as electronic pop takes its place, what Cory is doing is so fresh, needed, and important. This duo is a fever dream come true

[@jeremythornton433]

Awesome! Love the fact that nobody stepped on Larry's solos. Kudos to the pros!

[@codystarcowski5279]

Man Mr. Carlton sound is forever golden one of my favorite guitarist indeed!

[@webevent]

[@oniatariio]

I love how Cory's and Larry's guitar solos meld a fresh sound with the band's awesome laid-back 70s(?) vibe.

[@Joel_Powell]

The run at 3:20 tells you....yeah this is the same guy that played the Kid Charlemagne solo. Perfect rhythm and harmony melded. And love just how much Cory loves it!

[@hepphepps8356]

The best about this is the camera angels and video-editing. Imagine live music with something other than facial close-ups of people singing and audience wide shots with the accompanying frantic screaming and judges saying «wow!». Theres even shots of sections of the band following other musical cues than «vocals» and «short guitar solo internezzo». I am in shock.

[@jwaj]

nice to see someone talk about this lol i agree

[@ItzTheFury]

I've listened to this so many times... and Larry's solo is just genius every time. Amazing.

[@iGuitarX]

This did not disappoint, what a killer vibe on stage. The smiles all around were contagious and I loved seeing Larry playing his Sire guitar. killer!

[@JAYDUBYAH29]

Marry the person who looks at you like Corey does at Larry while soloing. It’s beautiful. He hangs on every phrase and is just openly along for the ride in a state of wonder and appreciation. Find a band leader and collaborator like Corey. Ego-less professionalism makes space for so much love and magic.

[@FirstLast-cd6vv]

[@edfournier7936]

Larry, How fun! What joy it must be to play with such a great band. It's a little sad, but my hands gave out this year. I worked as a massage therapist for 8 years and unfortunately I overworked them and I now have "trigger fingers" on both hands and they cramp up. I can't make a fist with my left. A tip for other "old guys": Those "copper fit" gloves work miracles. I wear them every day and my hands are so much better than what they could be. They'd be crippled without them. I accept it as my fate, but thank God for You Tube. I've got all my songs I wrote for THE HARDY BOYS, THE GROOVIE GOOLIES, FAT ALBERT, and a bunch of singles I wrote for people like Glen Campbell, Helen Reddy, The Ashes, The Outsiders, The Knickerbockers, The Challengers and others. It's been a fun ride. I still remember THE SANDBAGGERS bowling team we had some 60 years ago. Such great times!

I dont know why, but every time I watch this video I can't help but think of Silvers Rayleigh from One Piece stepping out of retirement to protect the new generation of pirates. I also love how right from the start you can clearly hear why Larry Carlton spent over a decade as THE GUY in the world of session guitar playing. Fills that weave into the tapestry of the music In such a way that you can't imagine the song with out them. And lastly I love the band, the vibe is mega!
