As a long time drug addict clean and sober for several years this really hits home. Ive played guitar since I was 12 and Im 51 now and this is so inspiring makes me want to pick up my guitar and play. Amazing feel and ability.

[@glennkemp6565]

God bless you, Eric. You are so gifted.

[@ManewBlewww]

Huge Eric again!!! What a man and geniusand gtr player sure! Older he gets, better he goes...

[@beachcomber4141]

Man, that guy is the real deal. So inspiring to watch him play. AND he has that positive message. Bravo!!

[@SteveKaynan]

Absolutely! I remember him when I was a kid in the 90s, so happy for his new life and career! With the current status of music, Eric Gales is much needed!

[@Bando_6.0]

Bass player killed it on the instrumental part🔥

[@jquinnwilson]

Absolute virtuoso. Great band behind him too.

[@jobo-and-mo]

We’ve lost a lot of great talented people for reasons that didn’t have to happen. Thankfully, we still have Eric and I hope to hear him for a very long time!

[@SteveKaynan]

What an amazing comeback Eric has had the last 5 years etc.!!

[@dshrute6622]

This performance is incredible. Didn't expect to listen to the whole show, but I couldn't put it down. Thank you Eric and your amazing band.

[@Bando_6.0]

LaDonna killed that!!! They all killed it! Not surprised!!🔥

[@zakvoodoo]

The riff he plays while he goes into the audience is savage! Bravo

[@pearupindre4740]

that new bass player!!! jeah!

[@ernestlmorellsr]

Thanks someone finally turned up the volume!!

[@kristenhancuch5827]

This man is a true inspiration!! Rock ON Eric Gales!!

[@12lfme12]

Damn! Eric lives on a different plane from other musicians. His talent is other-wordly.

[@kyleyoungmusic]

GOAT!!!!! 🐐 🎸🙏🏼🙏🏼🔥

[@PuthutKriswanto]

AMAZING SHOW by Eric Gales

[@rainerhof3977]

Fantastic! Thank you very much for your work

[@harrymitchell5402]

Eric is a total beast on the guitar .unreal. Truely the best of our time. Bonamasa don't have the skill that Eric does period. Ya know Jimi had his own niche and for me he is the greatest guitar player ever. But Eric is a whole new thing in soul and spirit.And I respect that.

[@eric_in_florida]

No need to rag on Joe, he's awesome too.

[@DigitalLoom]

@@eric_in_florida joe is fucking a monster aswell

[@SteveKaynan]

Both are good players for sure!

[@SteveKaynan]

🎸🎵🎶🥁👍

[@SModex777]

Bonamasa is definitely on that level with Eric G. They are both awesome

[@jimlassiter749]

Such beautiful note choices, the Storm was exceptional.... Kudos to the great band!

[@scotpetri7630]

I guess I know the blues... I checked all the boxes 😆 Eric is the man!!

Absolute Gales.

[@machorandingo164]

Pulling for you, Eric! Love your music and your heart!

[@Nghilifa]

Thank you! Eric is great!

[@everardoromero4121]

I loved this, just excellent musicians. What talent and a great show!!

[@mannyfragoza9652]

Every time i see Eric play i like his playing more and more .Hes right up there with the best of them

[@gregedenfield1080]

[@Mr2011BOSS]

You the truth Eric💪💪💯

[@bryangideon5822]

What a great set thanks Eric and the band fantastic

[@dmcpopo4027]

Saw Eric Gales live at Harpo"s in Detroit bout 20yrs ago. Humble kindhearted cat. Blew the place away. Meet him after the set and took some photos. He's the real deal. Catch him live and you won't be disappointed. Stay Groovy

[@jstmyers]

Very Good Guitar Player Im Impressed 💯

[@122Music1]

I'm a nobody, but Eric is woven with his Two Rock Amp. I've never heard him sound better at any time, but with the Two Rock Amps. Perfect performance all around though! Sorry. Two Rock buddy! They compliment his style like no other... I've followed him for 10 years... I'm a has been guitar player, but I can say. With 40 years of researching guitar sound excellence, the Two Rock is his Electrified Soul mate.IMHOP...

[@MrWilson-WithaPbass]

Such a great set . Crazy amount of Talent on that stage (whole band ) .

[@sgtmac62]

The drummer has basic rock spanking! THAT is Jimi style. Simple, solid percussion. Great job lady.

[@reemclaughlin4260]

LaDonna rocks!

[@Mrhootie333]

That's his lovely wife, that stood by him during the drug years

[@SteveKaynan]

Absolutely! You can feel that swing or that "groove train!"

[@user-vx9fh9kt3o]

Привет St.Peterburg из Санкт-Петербурга! Блюз везде!

[@LloydMajor]

Awesome!

[@NoWayOut55]

Damn! I've heard short snippets of Eric's playing, but this is the first song I've hear from beginning to end! BrotherMan you flat out Walk the Dog on this shit!! And I'm thinking you remember a player /producer down that way named David Shelly, (RIP) who passed probably 8 years back. He had a pretty decent write up in our local SF newspapers. Sounds great. And I'll be hearing more.👍👍🤜🤛🍻🍻

[@reemclaughlin4260]

And he’s playing that backwards…..

[@scottmagri6306]

wow

[@purplevienna]

[@jasonmare33]

dudes vapin wit the mask on!

[@totorvaumourin3215]

Kiss the French tank you man

[@wallacesanders265]

Does Cody Wright wear a mask now? I love the vid of Wright & Gales at Dallas Guitar Show several years back….

[@stanleyhall6801]

I don't know this guy's real name I do know that it's not Cody Wright but his stage name is smoke face

[@marcf2895]

Cody isn’t touring with him any more.

[@14AspenDrive]

@@marcf2895 you know why?

[@GhanaianBluesman]

No that's not Cody, that dude goes by "Smoke Face", killer player as well.

[@Ghosttothepost]

Sounded Great. Just wondering about the bass players outfit. Definatley not bluesy.

[@garyssimo]

Bass player must be hiding from the law😉thought he was on fire early on. great playn! Theres somethin about playn upside down!

[@py_a_thon]

Maybe he is Banksy

[@timklecha1401]

What's with the bass player and the mask?

[@Mrhootie333]

Not sure how many are aware or will even recognize the significance of what I'm saying, but Eric plays a "right" handed guitar upside down. While most lefties restring the guitar, meaning they still play with the Big 'E' string on top and little 'E' on the bottom, Eric just flipped it over and has learned to play it upside down!!???!!!

[@user-rs1qc1ve9u]

Слава Великому чудотворцу Виктору Цою!

[@sharkair2839]

that drummer sounds like she's been to chicago....

[@MAGAMAN]

I didn't know you can sound like you've been shot.

[@geoffreykennard5829]

why does Corey have a hockey mask on?

[@FoleysWorld]

The bass player was at the wrong gig. (optically)

[@srv165]

Bucket head’s brother?

[@peterburi2727]

Yeah...what's up with that?

[@karlburmeister1552]

With a full push button vape system in the mask if ya caught that.

[@brotherdave8691]

That's just his shtick. His stage name in SmokeFace and he's never performed with some kind of face covering. See Red Rose Panic.

[@guitarclasss]

37:26 black Jesus...

[@donniejamesrio7719]

bass guitar. bmf.

[@blackberryjamchicago]

Hey I play bass with the greatest guitar player in the world, Eric Gales! Yea BS! Sure you do! Show me video proof? ;)

[@srv165]

Turn down the keys in the mix

[@juanpabloberger5552]

Te¹ comistes el¹ escenario. Y el bajista ni bola marílisimo teportaste y los bateristas no son el mejor.😊

[@py_a_thon]

I am so glad this dude could kick the heron. This game is different now...powdered drugs are so sus now(way more than they used to be). And they kill users quite often, cannot be easily tested and often are resistant to narcan (because of the additives of sedatives or amphetamine typed compounds). I love drugs tbh, even though I shouldnt. I think I love people more tho. I don't want to advocate for drug use, yet if you must...maybe just stick to weed and shrooms? Idk... I think they call that california sober lol.

[@melbledsoe7947]

Ya'll got a great band, just need a guitar player

[@walterhagstrom9456]

A fucking mask...

[@adassociates8235]

What the heck wrong with bass player? Weirdo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@maliwilliams7262]

Not My Favorite style as a Bassist, playing endless riffs, Same Progresions, A Showcase for Guitarists, and Not what I prefer, having listened to Mingus, Paul Chambers, M. Miller, Clarke, Jackson, etc, That being Said, I Much prefer those who Descended from the Originals, and Not Watered down Culture vultures who Won't even Hire those of the Bloodline! Something NOT Spoken of, But Should be!!

[@karlburmeister1552]

It's music, enough with the racism.

[@pjunior06]

@@karlburmeister1552 thank you! What matters is it sounds good! Music is the only thing we have left that brings us unity yet some people still trying to make it divided and political!

[@ladonnagales8890]

🤣..

[@smokefacebass]

@@ladonnagales8890 like bruh what?! lol

[@FunkadelicPancho]

Nobody's asking you to listen to it. Dude can clearly play better than you or you would be doing something more productive with your time
