David Garfield & Alex Ligertwood Performs "Georgy Porgy" Live At Java Jazz Festival 2009

[@mallendo]

Alex Ligertwood is for me one of the greatest singers ever. The band is great too!

[@thomasjeffers851]

These guys are just incredible musicians & Alex Ligertwood's vocals are phenomenal! I wonder if people who have never played any kind of music can even understand or appreciate how hard it is to sound this good!

[@tammybrown4901]

I don't think they fo

[@amgemin]

I feel like if they had recorded this in a studio, with each track painstakingly edited and corrected, picking only the best takes, with effects, a producer and a studio engineer, it would still be not better than this live version. These people are so good that their average performance any given day is the same performance that ideal conditions and total forgiveness for any mistake can bring. As someone else said in the comments, I wonder how many people truly appreciate how much work one needs to sound this good.

[@VeeBee81]

Well SAID!! Phenomenal arrangement!! The SINGING! The SOLO’s!! OUT-STANDING!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@TheWhaddeva]

Recording is on a great technical level, but it is all because of the musicians. These are masters, unsung heroes....

[@arturochaparro6013]

It’s hard to believe it’s been 11 years since this recording and it’s so relevant today.There’s a reason why Alexander Sang for Santana anyone else for that matter.Makes you wanna jump on a plane away from this virus back to those times. That’s OK don’t lose hope, this too shall pass.Peace

[@RaiderLeo1]

One of Toto's BEST and great treatment by Alex...

[@bobbymiller67]

this guy Alex Ligertwood is really awesome what a voice after all these years i take my hat off to him.

[@charliem251]

One of the best ever. I wouldn't expect any less from Alex. Always was one the best Rock/Soul singers over time. Todays youth should study the greats.

[@danzbmw]

Charlie M , been following him since early Brian Augger & the Oblivion Express and Santana. 🤙

[@AnimeTenshou]

This performance felt like i was teleported to the late 70's or early 80's. Kudos to this band and especially the guitarist and vocalist.

[@SvenderSchwede64]

He is my idol since over 35 years! You are in my heart Alex!

[@ShotgunDolphin]

Damn what a kickin version.

[@dwarmboy67]

James Harrah...

[@joeystratman]

Killer band, sizzling performance! Each player plays with finesse, no excessive overplaying. Of course, there's David Garfield on keys,. Steve Ferrone on drums, John Pena on bass, Lenny Castro on percussion, Alex Ligertwood on vocals, and James Harrah on guitar. One thing though, i feel that Alex put a high note too many on some parts, which sound a bit strained. but otherwise, a great vocal showmanship. To sound good and tasteful and groovy is a skill that these guys have through experience and discipline, i can honestly say as a musician myself. Two thumbs up!

[@lpgoog]

Excellent singer! This guy was great with Santana too!

[@542bful]

lpgoog Cantou durante anos com Carlos Santana.

[@fitzml1004]

So he was with Santana? Well, that explains why he sounds so awesome.

[@FlatFeeDjs]

I always wondered who that was singing on those awesome Santana albums

[@yumikodavis886]

Santana is great with anybody.

Alexander J Ligertwood is a boss. That dude has some amazing vocal chops.

Amazing Singer. I love his personality.

[@isabellemondoloni2991]

Alex, you are something else , your heart is grand as much as your voice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@crimsonrush]

I met him over 30 years ago. Such a kind humble man.

[@HagbardCeline42]

By far the best non-Toto version I've heard.

[@danzbmw]

one of the greatest singer of all time. Alex sang for Santana and was his own

[@dariocellamaro7042]

Great groove ... unforgettable Jeff Porcaro ... lovely ...

[@KarlSharicz]

Stupendous!! Alex is a killer vocalist at his age and especially after belting those songs out for so many years.

[@giuliozambelli6521]

wow, I love this, Ferrone, what a groove Master!!!!!

[@tommo3378]

Giulio Zambelli Agreed. Why do camera men always focus on another band member when there’s a drum break?

[@HrSamstag]

tom bryson maybe it‘s because they see music more then they listen to it and get confused when a drummer is doing suddenly anything else than playing a „groove“, „beat“ a.s.o.

[@albertnemia3654]

super le groove yes !

Never heard of these guys but I'm impressed with how that singer can hit those high notes. As I've gotten older my range has diminished so my hat is definitely off to him.

Alex Ligertwood is one of my favorite singers, ever. Brilliant! I watched him live in Lisbon many years ago with Santana, maybe in the 80s or early 90s. And the rest of the band is awesome too: David Garfield (Keys), Steve Ferrone (drums), John Peña (bass), James Harrah (guitar), Lenny Castro (percussion). Greetings from Portugal.
