I just rewatched this again and still am in pure amazement. I’ve been playing guitar for 40 plus years and feel like a child when watching and listening to Eric. He really feels what he’s doing. He manages to bridge the gap of taste, feel, and technical showboating. I hope to see him live one day.

ERIC GALES ~ Incredible. • He's red-hot when he plays the Blues. • He’s super-human when he Rocks. • Eric's guitar weeps a vicious VOODOO child. • He rolls over a beautiful wave of Beethoven. • Eric wields his instrument like Thor's hammer as he calls down the thunder of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" whirls back to a scorching Hendrix so powerfully played, that, like a cosmos-striding character out of a Jack Kirby Comic-book it's sonic-lightning-licks could ignite volcanos, blast the moon out of Earth’s orbit, & battle the Four Horse-men of the rock-a-pocalypse! ERIC GALES is my favorite super-hero. The invincible Eric Gales!

[@vanshipman]

It’s truly a shame that Eric’s career didn’t blow up like his contemporaries (Vai, Gilbert, Malmsteen etc.) In my opinion he’s one of the best players I’ve ever heard in my life. I am glad that he’s out there still making music and playing better than ever, GOD bless you brother and keep blowing our minds👍🙏 🎸

[@user-ke7bf1hi9x]

As far as pure playing dynamics, I'd put EG above Prince.

[@Bluesfree]

IMHO , he is great blues rock an jazzy guitar player , but is not creative composer like Hendrix or great arranger like Jeff Beck , and so on .. it’s kind of Hendrixy , bluesy, jazzy , etc..but difficult to identify as “ This is EG” .

[@newfreenayshaun6651]

I think he has.

[@notgrekk]

This is one of the most insane guitar medleys I have ever seen/heard. They killed it.

[@JitenShende]

Awesome bass player too....young skilled n lots of feel.....superlike !!

[@anthonysavedra9390]

Damn I love how the bass and drums follew him . The eye contact and vibe is right there with him.. badass

[@glenbayhi5359]

Man he can play .clean or funky jam.hes definitely one of a kind .

[@bretfuzz925]

Eric is truly awesome! His twists and turns make his renditions a pleasure. This reminds me of the first time I heard SRV. What a pleasure to hear this guy share his passion.

[@johnnywaddles8676]

Eric just keeps getting better and better each time I hear him. His spontaneous creativity is amazing. Chops, tone, feel, melody, harmony. Eric and Guthrie, my two favorite guitarists.

[@DonnaBlackwell]

Why is this the first I have heard him? WTF! I am in love!

[@user-ke7bf1hi9x]

I first saw him on Arsenio way back in the early '90's. He was still in high school and had a band with his older brother. I don't believe in re-incarnation but Jimi Hendrix passed in 1970 and this dude shows up in 1974 - IJS. :)

[@old-manparker6153]

me too

[@michaeldawson498]

Back when Eric was around 18 years old and was touring on his second major release album he did an appearance at a believ in music (all of which have been long since shut down) in Grand rapids Michigan along with his drummer Crawford and they did a few songs from the album and I had them sign his CD which is one of the very few possessions which I have managed to hang on to for the last 30 years. He played an acoustic and of course he was great.

[@cobravinci]

Probably one of the best performances of Eric Gales!

[@iansimmons735]

Wow. I've been playing guitar for 30 years. Why have I only just heard of this guy? Amazing

[@Urbanwildlifee]

Eric is in my top 5 of all time favorite artists, as the man is that good and talented.

[@122Music1]

This is a testament to recovery, fortitude, belief, and sincerity. E.G. is the new IT guitarist as he should be. Sure his influences show through, but his style is diverse and unique enough to supersede The former. This guy is the real deal! Thanx for the music E.G.!!

[@telekev1]

This guy puts a smile on your face! What a joy!

[@micromymario23]

This is not a concert, it's a psychedelic journey on the clouds of hendrix and Zappa, all seasoned with the funk of Wonder ... you are a fantastic artist!

[@gort400]

Some of the BEST I have ever heard! Bass Player showed respect and took his hat off for the Star Spangled Banner. THAT IS AWESOME!

[@graysinclair6572]

gort400 Just as he should. Thanks for the comment! Our veterans are heroes!

[@digitalsketchguy]

As well as being one of the most bad-ass guitarists on the planet, Eric Gales is such a great entertainer. Love that crowd interaction.

[@Mark-bw1wx]

Love this guy. Not only his axe plays the notes but his whole body plays the notes. Whoa!!!!!…..

[@derekhenderson1730]

First heard Eric on his early recordings when he was a 17 year old and he was something back then and he's a real gent also.

[@arnieworkoholik6883]

The next Generation of Super Guitarplayer 👍👍👍

[@Jeff4014]

Man this video should have millions and millions of viewss

[@floydland3509]

He's playing the hell out of that bass! Whew!

[@andydavid9]

WOW! I am constantly blown away by those Eric Johnson style runs... to the point where they sound cleaner than Eric's! This guy is absolutely phenomenal!

[@RyMuEntertainment]

took me to church with that Star Spangled Banner! I almost shed a tear. So dope!

[@indinadarajah7302]

Praise the Lord

[@gutebrandao4369]

[@Bluezhealer]

[@withcranes]

[@RadityoPramAdi]

[@jamescarter4175]

Eric Gales is amazing.

[@hilariolopez3214]

Magnífico bajista. Junto con Eric forman casi la perfección

[@rzambory2938]

Great Job guys !!! thank you!!

[@lynnbain3543]

Just Seen Them At Two Shows They Blew Me Away Thank You For Upload

[@logothescanandeffectmaker2122]

Amazing as always!

[@markwallacemaguire1598]

Goodness. Seen him twice. Hardest working man in show business.

[@sweeabn6736]

this heals my soul so much

[@larrybradley6914]

He’s better than the most skilled player. He plays in colors and feelings and is able to make others feel his music on the deepest of levels. This man has SOUL!

[@Free2shred00]

Just discovered this guy. Goddamn, I've been missing out. Eric Gales is every bit of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Johnson, Guthrie Govan, Steve Vai, Frank Zappa and Paul Gilbert all rolled up into one!

[@noisyneil]

i can only hear hendrix and johnson, but yeah the guy is a beast and makes me excited about guitar!

[@ericjohnson6933]

the beethoven kinda shows off the govan/gilbert, but youre right hendrix and johnson are the main ones for sure

[@LUckybones25]

He's a monster of monsters LOL

[@george00719]

guitar god

[@sailing8130]

I see only Eric Gales and he is a unique talent all his own. Just add him to your list and give him credit where it is due.

[@crux123451]

That was Awesome!!!!!!

[@syfman6]

As a guitarist, I can attest to the extreme difficulty of those fast runs. To play them so fast and clean is quite a feet.

[@gav25x]

Feat 😶

[@syfman6]

@@gav25x no, I meant feet....lol

[@Jeff4014]

Speacially upsidedown and backwards...believe me i tried, and if it's not upsidedown and backwards the bends wont sound that deep and good

[@deanallen927]

YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! Go Eric!!!

[@balkanboy1203]

I see a lot of Hendrix in every musician after 1970.

[@robotgoose225]

5.36 on.. you can hear him searching for the notes.. beautiful. I think he even made himself jump

[@leviathancain]

this is amazing

[@etburkentine455]

my brain hurts from doing the stank face soo much. SICK! I started listening to this guy on cassette when I was a young guitar playing teen in the late 80's early 90's. Dude is legendary and getting better every day.

[@graysinclair6572]

ET Burkentine Yessir!

[@christopherrenzulli1418]

damn...this is great! all hail!

[@shawnawoody2290]

eric gales is the best

[@freefromit2]

I hope he keeps that bass player. that youngster is having the time of his life, and damn good. warms my heart.

[@Coppertunes]

He's actually playing the guitar upside down, strings and all !! They have not been changed round like the vast majority of left handed players do when playing a right handed guitar. Well played.

[@mikeriesco6174]

Bass player taking off hat...class.

[@carguy3460]

Seems like the perfect bass player..."Here, just follow whatever I do and make it sound good". He totally pulls it off.

[@christianhenry4173]

Car Guy I wonder also what that bass Player would do on a Star Spangled Banner solo?

[@mikelindqvist8015]

Guys check this one then with both of them. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6CZnKewab-tbLc

[@vn00530]

eric rocks big fan

[@richardhanly4446]

I think Eric must be from another worldly dimension, that would explain why his guitar is backwards AND upside down! 👍🎸

[@NotMarkKnopfler]

TheRADMAN2009 Word bro! Peace!

[@JendrixHimi]

You need to listen closer sir, good at what he does though, one of many including me, it is not just playing , it is all of it, it has to be your life you have to give everything , the only one that almost did is Rory Gallagher

[@graysinclair6572]

JendrixHimi Rory was a beast! Eric Gales is as well.

[@Kaysersoza]

A jimi hendrix EVOLVED, 'till jazz with a lot of GOOD FUNKY

[@kosar1957]

Awesome, although it would be fairly challenging to learn a guitar tutorial from him!

[@mrmichael20]

There are rumors that this guy's already been on Mars

[@gwhpnut1]

Is this the man who was doing the heavy lifting for Buddy Guy a few years ago on tour? was he his guitarman?
