Eric Johnson - Trail of Tears, Grove at Anaheim 1/25/18

Eric Johnson plays "Trail of Tears" on the Ah Via Musicom Anniversary Tour at the City National Grove at Anaheim on 1/25/18. The show was split up into two separate sets, the first being a traditional mix of tunes, many from his latest excellent album "Collage," together with great covers and some of his best tracks. The second set was his landmark "Ah Via Musicom" album in its entirety. Stellar performances by Eric, Tommy Taylor on drums and Kyle Brock on bass.

I wish he played this song more often; he really shines on it.

most underated Guitarist ever

[@maxcooper8831]

Taylor Harless He is pretty well known and respected. I can see why not many people know his stuff because it doesn't fit the mainstream genre. He never got the commercial attention he deserved, Roy Buchanan is even more underrated because almost no one knows his stuff.

[@TMWilson71]

Definitely not underrated..... people nowadays just listen to shitty music ...

[@petermitchell7534]

Fantastic! Eric is sounding better on this tour than I've heard in years!

[@SwingCritic141]

Peter Mitchell just saw him in January of ‘19 in Illinois. He played flawlessly. Played over an hour of encores, tons of Hendrix. I really do think those new Strats he and Fender produced inspired a new side of his creativity.

[@soulfulterrain3143]

One of my favorite Ej tunes of all-time. Really digging Eric's new signature thinline Strat he's playing, sounds beautiful.

[@alexvanroth175]

Fantastic footage, from Houston, cant wait to see him in Texas.

[@6stringhellion]

Same here, see you in the House of Blues then lol

[@DjentleYGO]

I love the way the song was played (everything except the talk)!

[@ronfrey6639]

Yup they are on fire again this is great to see.... whom ever filmed this THANK YOU

[@stratplayer96]

I was at the Ventura show the night before this. Tommy Taylor's backup vocals are spot on brilliant in this one. Kyle has that vibe that really compliments the music well. The magic is back. Glad EJ got the band back together. Thank you for uploading these vids Mike!

[@bobschmiedl491]

Great video. Love EJ. You guys were awesome when you talked and shared a real moment. Moving on to something cooler.

[@z_eidetically]

[@kadourmohamed9642]

Love, Eric the beauttiful acords in the fritboards and fingers love.

[@ZenDriveSeven]

Brilliant!!

[@almalexiel]

How can you talk during a performance like that. Seriously people at shows...

[@xthatghomiex2939]

The bridge is probably hard on his voice. "Oh, boy oh, dear" is very high

[@katherinerturman]

I am Chickasaw.....you play very good my, Sweet, Brother!!~

[@ssake1_IAL_Research]

I think he's Handel's reincarnation, but nobody recognizes him.

[@TMWilson71]

Go watch the austin city limits version it blows this out of the water .... eric is my favorite musician of all time , but lets be honest his “power level “ lowered a little since his prime in the early 90s

[@lifeemusicelife112]

I’d like to amend your comment by saying that the ACL version of this song will blow literally anything out of the water.

[@youhavetogoback8449]

I mean that might be one of the best performances EVER out of any instrument so its just a little bit difficult to top, just a little.

[@miguelayala428]

thank you, heading there now

[@mitchie2267]

Dude is nearly 70 ffs, shut up.
