Eric Gales and the Family Band "Voodoo Child / Kashmir" Live at The Iridium

[@scottmontreal8365]

Saw Eric Gales last night at a small blues festival in Florida and he just blew everyone's socks off. Amazing talent, entertainer and confident guitarist with a crack 3 piece band and set of family vocalists!

[@BaRNioNLaiN]

Wow... AMAZING sound and superb mix, even with youtube's shitty audio compression@360p!!! If only all the live videos sounded half as good as this one... Congrats @IridiumLIVE !!, you made Eric's performance shine!!

[@MacSoundSolutions]

Thanks man! He really blew me away last night, he hit some peaks in the show that were just other worldly.

[@nmuzicman]

Dude the run was ridiculous!!! OMG!!!!

[@deaniemberry]

Love Eric Gales, and what a GREAT bass player!!!!

[@Ol_Ben]

Great video man and really nice wah effects at this show. I saw him perform this at Memphis in 2014 myself plus met Eric. Really nice man.

[@L0nn13_c0]

I've never heard chords played like that before. Incredible.

[@Blabarspaj]

This is amazing! Totally stunned here.

[@fender1325]

Thats my good friend Orlando Thompson on bass. Trust me when I say this video doesnt even show who Orlando is when it comes to playing bass. One of Raleigh/greensboro's finest.

[@johnedwards3651]

Holy fucking shit thats great! Very special talent that is incredibly unique.

[@IridiumLIVE]

I mixed it live through our 32 input pro tools rig to stereo. Then added a little eq compression and peak limiting before I uploaded the video to youtube.

[@topa1798]

[@nippegmt]

Happy Birthday Eric !! Holy Shit!! this kills!!

[@paulcox9728]

man I like this band, raw talent

[@MacSoundSolutions]

Eric is an original, all heart and soul and reaches where most don't dare and can't go, We recorded and filmed Eric last night 09-07-14 at the Iridium, and will be releasing Eric Gales Live at the Iridium CD/DVD early next year on Iridium Live records.

[@noleadmons]

Ha ha, the bassist's smile just shine's on through!!!

[@RokugenMusashi]

Awesome Groove!!!

[@MrCoolhandLucas]

Holy shit - YEA ERIC !

[@IridiumLIVE]

Will be uploading some of Eric's original songs tomorrow from the same night so check those out.

[@schotanusser]

Awesome!!

[@jazzymatt77]

7:44 Thats where the Magic starts!

[@TheBhannah]

supper talented

[@00govan00]

F-in amazing the ideas he comes up with to linger on during the intro prior to the lyrics. Guitarists know what I'm talkin' about, Gales does not lack for original ideas in his adaptation of this Hendrix classic.

[@Ol_Ben]

They really put the funk in it too

[@ihussain1]

Heaven cried and the devil soiled his pants during this performance

[@MegaAnthonys]

despuess de tanto, es muy chistoso y agradable este señor que tocar la guitarra, muy fuerte, suerte amigo

[@PeterAnnello]

My dad was having a conversation with this guy in Albany during intermission of the hendrix experience

[@carlolf]

what a great performer! (and not just a copiest)

[@MattRing]

What is that riff he starts at 4 mins 20 seconds, I know I know it and it’s killing me !

[@zenith2070]

Aaaaaah yeah it takes a brotha to take it in that direction lol beastin just cause they can

[@YaoEspirito]

Yeah; phat band. I feel this is what Band of Gypsies would have sounded like with a little more focus. Too bad Eric didn't feel like singing here.

[@zenith2070]

yeah but you know he aint the best singer lol so he gets away with not doing it

[@robertmoore1440]

Second left hand master!!

[@Yann003007]

Hey te riff about 5.00/5.15 seems like "pacific rim" theme and goes so well on voodoo child !!

[@BLUESGUITAROCKER]

Soundboard ?

[@Clark1284]

that bass is fucking KILLIN.

[@epajir1300]

SWEET

[@kangnamoo]

Bassist's name is Orlando

[@natzu_x17]

Waooooooooooo !!!

[@ibemanny99]

thats a shiny wah pedal he has.... Is it a ZW-85?

[@pierce_allen]

Anyone know the name of the bassist? He's dirt nasty.

[@theASTRADELIC]

4:39 SHIT!!!

[@jazzymatt77]

and 7:45----cant get any better!

[@VinceHalvorson]

Killer.

[@QuilonB]

0:51

[@andrewguitar67]

DAT bass @1:35

[@RSCL_BEATZ]

I think it's a disgrace having people compare this man to Hendrix.

[@janemillerick9614]

he is simply not the same. he's playing the same material is all.. and he does this well. but no; one cannot ever do that with any performer. to say 'reminds me of' is one thing. "the same" .. is just thick.

[@neo4reals]

This man shits on your existence, shut the fuck up. No he's not Hendrix, he took what Hendrix was doing and ran in another direction, I think he's dope as fuck. What do you have? A bunch of shitty covers? Hahaha

[@RSCL_BEATZ]

Thanks for listening.

[@RSCL_BEATZ]

Hey Kevin Webb, how come you haven't come out of the closet yet?

[@pillionaire07]

Yea Delta I agree. I mean this guy is good but he can never play things a sloppily and over-tempoed as Hendrix. I love Hendrix but he was one of the sloppiest guitar players. He just did something different is the only reason he is as big as he is.

[@RedRose4711]

What a player!! Sadly the audience lacked enthusiasm during the performance.
