Eric Gales : Too Close To The Fire

[@jaydowdy27]

The conflict between the mind and releasing your soul is evident here. Eric fights it! Not intentionally, He floats in and out almost purposefully. Us humans could only dream of being in the “pocket” and letting our soul speak. I see a man traveling through space and time with such passion.. Beautiful isn’t the right word. I’m awestruck.

[@dwightpatterson9477]

hes making it up as he go, that shows he a real bluesman, that how the old timers did it, shout out to lightin hopkins

[@Nitroxdude]

How come I never heard of Eric! This guy is amazing! I enjoyed this very much, thank you 🙏

[@jazzy_rose4166]

on top of his beautiful performance, I wish I could smile at a man the way his wife ALWAYS smiles at him when he's performing. THAT is always the (or one of) the highlights of an Eric Gale performance!

[@corbyalexander6833]

They have a passion for music that they share together and are able to create with each-other… it’s a beautiful thing!

[@AnitaStewart405]

Reminds me of a cross between David Gilmour and Robin Trower. My face just melted off!

[@jjd2065]

The BEST blues guitar player on the planet!!

[@solomongrundy3314]

He is incredible yes but do you know Philip sayce?

[@johnsmitty3238]

I believe he’s arguably the best of our time.

[@williamrogers3825]

Saw him last week. This song was the emotional climax of the show. What an awesome song and killer performance

[@dmcpopo4027]

And he took them to church….E G is a musical gift from God

[@caneguy8735]

Sounds like Comfortably Numb to me. Awesome 👌

[@kellyworsleigh5774]

The only other thing to add to this performance is the guitar literally going up in smoke bc he SHREDS it!!!❤❤❤ i dont even like blues but THIS MAN's music speaks to my soul in an unspeakable language! And someone commented aboyt how he and his wife exchange smikes n glances...that's an added layer too. So much being said with no words!! ❤❤❤

[@pggrootde6726]

I like the smile on the face of that female drummer.......😊!

[@clairaudient_mica]

HE WENT GOD MODE 🐐🔥

[@bgrierofficial]

That performance, he’s just a boss on stage!

[@clivearnold3887]

Excellent video from a brilliant show

[@mikedervos5974]

This is Comfortably numb of Blues! that was unbelievable

[@igorcruz2847]

man, thank you!

[@kirkir5800]

Really, man!

[@DylanCarver]

I have never seen someone put more soul into a guitar solo than this! This is pure talent and complete dedication to the guitar. One can only dream of being so deep into music as him

[@SONGSTICKS]

How F###ing good was that then! That was a trip 😵‍💫

[@SONGSTICKS]

I've watched this several times since discovering it and I've only just noticed, he's playing a right handed guitar upside down!

[@neivaaparecidabraga9786]

Brilliant. Great guitar player. 🎸🖤🎸🖤🎸

[@mofo1739]

Blown away

[@jdm49max]

Eric is amazing. Love it. this is totally an upfront reverie of Gilmour Comfortably Numb.

[@Magnum_Opus_Music]

Plays with heart and soul! 💯🎸

[@davidhoneyman429]

Eric Gales is the best guitarist playing today. I wanna be Eric Gales

[@bryana297]

This is my favorite off the Crown album. Phenomenal music maker/guitar player

[@albdoce]

This brother is so blessed! And I love his testimony! And I agree, humbler and a really cool dude!

[@tcb5141]

We're blessed to have such a great Talent

[@dwightpatterson9477]

the guy plays with so much feeling and soul, just one or two notes he brings you in

[@indrathelonewarriors1677]

Ooh man this comfortably numb on the next level I'm diggin it

[@ehrinhester3118]

❤ You can't get that anywhere else!

[@kyleyoungmusic]

8:18 MY GOD!!! 🔥🔥👀 I would have freaking cried if I was there. Lets goooooo 🐐

[@reginaldhodges4732]

Representative of guitarist around the world 🌎...this cat rules.

[@spikejones1908]

You possess the thing. The gift only the almighty can make happen. Hope you know that Eric my brother

[@ehrinhester3118]

Man the transitions are so dope with all the different styles!

[@jhonnydrucker4519]

décidément il a tout du gaucher ☮️🙏🌠🌈

[@ГургенДжангирян]

So much natural power. Phenomenal.

[@nmitrading]

This is insane speed and melodic phrasing

[@PixelsInMotion]

Eric is a crazy good blues guitar player

[@ellebhee5045]

Wow! That was borderline out of control but the man keeps the rhythm flowing. Love it!

[@draganmladenovic4879]

Out of control??? No..this is raw control of the pure Soul.

[@wallyramirez5527]

Good Lord have mercy!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@jquinnwilson]

Literally one of the best, if not the best player on Earth. The ultimate combination of technique and pure passion.

[@porkbelly0713]

thanks Mark ............ he really is a great guy to be around and my fav guitarist on the planet. Son and I first met him in 2008 while he was still living in Memphis, son was helping him with his website and we also helped him set up for several concerts until he moved to Minnesota

[@thorstenriedel3152]

I love Eric Gales, he is such an incredible guy........

[@ManfredElsingBielefeld]

Jaj,der geile Eric...

[@samkasinja926]

The guy is great! I wish i could live forever just to listen to his music!! He is blessed and we are blessed to have him. One love to the world!!

[@pacopaco9909]

Le meilleur Éric Gales

[@502dbl]

Always deliver the goods .... pure dynamite!

[@cornbobrimlove7892]

The man is so proud of his playing that, he has to stop playing and strut around the stage about every 25 seconds or so before he can resume playing again ........cracks me up.

[@adamrafferty]

Just awesome!!!!

[@gerhardvanderbergh9292]

Only just discovered Eric and what a discovery Awsome

[@glenndavis7805]

YOU GOTTA SEE HIM LIVE BRO.WHAT A GREAT GUITARIST AND HUMAN BEING.

[@terrylharris1249]

Wow, just plain effing WOW🔥🔥🔥🎸🤟🏿

[@angrybuzzy]

I don't think Eric is capable of playing a note or phrase he isn't 100% committed to. He pours himself into his playing in a way that separates him from so many other great players.

[@kenryemarketing5949]

This is a powerful song. Your opinion really doesn’t matter. So sorry. Not really.

[@angrybuzzy]

@@kenryemarketing5949 Are you drunk, Ken? ;-)

[@terryharris2569]

Eric "outstanding" Gales is the fire!

[@cicimbello]

This cuts deep man

[@timothyvaher2421]

If I hadn't watched this myself; I'd swear he was playing a Violin 🎻! His guitar is upsidedown with Low E in the cup of his hand! Unbelievable sound!

[@rockhills]

It’s crazy his brother was left handed and that’s who he learned from so that’s why he never questioned it. Eric was not left handed.

[@Dmitry_Perelekhov]

Thank you, Friend

[@byronp24]

😮🎸👏🏿👏🏾👏🏼👏🏻😲🕊️ brother from another mother wish Ladonna Happy Mother's Day. 🙂

[@philipmcdonald5629]

Just seen Eric in Nottingham, it was frickin epic and he is a really cool dude!

[@BrianCope-ff4yq]

Yes I was there what a fabulous gig it was.I’ve been buying his cd’s since his first album back in 91 and I was so looking forward to seeing him,and boy it was worth the wait.I met him before the gig,had a chat and got him to sign my cd’s….what a great guy.🎶🎸

[@aarondurham75]
