Eric Johnson w/Greg Koch-Freeway Jam 10/6/23

Live at Turner Hall Milwaukee, WI 10/6/23

[@neastguy]

GK is a giant on guitar and in person

[@Caturday123]

I read that he’s 6’7”. I believe Eric is 6’2” so that would make sense.

[@fernandes5986]

He sounds like Jeff Beck.

[@user-qn1lt8ql2x]

He is super tall his son is too. Never walked thru a crowd faster but damn to the rip instruments

[@mrtruefifth]

I'm so happy to see Greg on a stage with EJ - Greg should have been equally as known as EJ by now - and I really love EJ too - but Greg is such a great player that he should have been known by the public years ago. So thanks to EJ for this tip of the hat to Greg!

[@timknobloch3866]

He needs to write something like Cliffs of Dover. Maybe he has, idk. Incredible player. Satriani helped Eric to become more known in my view.

[@Jedizen07]

It is GRISTLETLY clear that these two should work together on an album/tour. Full stop.

[@maxbialystock254]

I saw Eric Johnson in 86 or 87 in Houston with Pat Travers. Eric was amazing even then. Has not lost a trick. Greg is a recent find in the last few years, and never disappoints. The two together is fantastic. LIVE ALBUM FELLAS

[@michaelclare9326]

Greg is a monster of the guitar. Techinque + Humour. Rare these days. They're both nodding to Jeff Beck, and thats ok, in my book. Ive been playing for 45 years, and these players are at the top of their tree.

[@jeffreyhebda6709]

Greg Koch Trio caught our attention. Got tickets for New Hampshire show. Hope he rocks that joint !

[@chrislestermusic]

Where…Tupelo?

[@jeffreyradick6486]

Two of the greats playing a tune by another late great one.

[@LetzBeaFranque]

The legendary bassist Roscoe Beck holding down the bottom line.

[@ultrakool]

GK's son is rock steady, too

[@mickmullins1352]

Wot a Yeti...awesome...bloody wonderful.

[@HighlandViking]

You two should do a collaboration together! Great stuff, keep up the greatness young man 😎👍

[@gregmock6808]

Gentle Giant Greg Koch is such a beast ..underrated string strangler if there ever was one. He plays with humor in a way other guitarists just can't touch! Great combo with Eric and Greg together!

[@Sammywhat]

Two of my favorite guitarists on the stage at the same time?!? WOWWIE WOWWIE!!! Thanks for the share, Drade!! Wooooooooooo!!

[@RickGraham]

Two legends

[@Vern859]

Eric was incredible, and Greg was also. Really cool

[@josephqua]

Was at that show, incredible

[@scottshand8559]

Eric Johnson is still growing! His playing is stellar here! I saw him in a small (very small) venue a few years back, he is amazing.

[@Ray-xx5np]

I dunno... there's something about EJ that just doesnt "work" for me. He's undoubtedly a great player, but he's too emotionless (clinical?) in his playing... almost like Robert Fripp. I saw him a few years ago with the "Experience Hendrix" tour. He spent more time screwing with his amp & effects pedals than playing anything of significance. He must have been doing all that for his own ear, because there was no difference in his tone after the endless number of times he'd stop playing (mid song) and adjust something. Just IMO.

[@philf4086]

Amazing! They both copped the different Beck era's on their respective guitars. Super!!

[@RoyalBlue43]

The mansquatch and the prince of pentatonics battling on a single stage

[@user-qn1lt8ql2x]

Makes the guitar cry and whine without a whammy bar. Just saw him with my dad and bro a couple weeks ago he and Dylan Koch ended the showing playing together it was insane to say the least. Blown away! Toby played some mean keys too. The coolest part aside from Greg signing my album Dylan was disassembling his drums when I thanked him for an awesome show and asked to sign my cd. He stopped taking apart the kit and said yea man thank you let’s go to the mercy table to grab a marker. You guys are so humble and great at what you do. Thank you for a night with my dad and bro I won’t ever forget. Thank you KMT!

[@rylieriley]

This is totally insane in the best possible way! 🥰

[@malcomsue]

Don't trade licks with Greg he has a million of them.

[@lloydgriffiths1847]

hahahah

[@zatoichi1973]

Love your work big man, you are one of my favourite guitarists. Peace and love from the UK 🙂

[@georgedickson1410]

Saw Eric in Wyandotte Michigan on October 3rd 😎

[@ericjohnsonsdover]

I was here it was fantastic

[@stepitupandgo67]

Love it

[@rickbaker4571]

Two of me very very favs... great stuff.

[@downbytheriffer291]

I can dig it!

[@denmar355]

Drade and EJ! My guitar life is complete.

[@MrStevehunter33]

watching these two makes you realize how good Jeff Beck was

[@rider132]

What a treat. Last collaboration of such greatness I seen at RPI Field house Troy NY with Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray Vaughan doing this tune. In a couple months SRV would be gone.

[@rider132]

Also looking forward to seeing the Trio in Troy NY in a couple weeks at the Hangar.

[@iansnyder274]

I was at that show RPI yes?

[@knightfall9394]

srv did freeway jam with jeff? i thought all they did on that tour was goin down

[@snartzzb983]

Greg is amazing,

[@cornellbobby]

I can dig it.

[@isaiahmarquez9717]

Hope to see you in Austin or San Antonio in November! 🤙🏼

[@RyanMcQuen]

Greg is the guitar hero we need!

[@bluesdriver6354]

GK - Guitar Masterclass!!!

[@MikeMara]

Hell friggen yeah

[@Kevin.odonnell]

It's fun to watch you push eric outside his usual stuff! Definitely could see his ear pick up some of your stuff and take aim at some similar sounds and modes.

[@toddgreen8492]

It would have been wonderful to have had Eric & Greg perform @ Jeffs tribute concert.

[@anthonyrichard461]

Greg Koch is friggin hilarious and a beast on the git at the same time. This guy is the king of improve.

[@cmpoole]

That looked like it was fun.

[@matthewschreiber2421]

GD I was debating going. Now I wish I'd gone for sure.

[@jonathananderson3897]

Ha, it's the 1st time I've ever seen eric johnson look short 😂 anyone who can hold their own with EJ is legendary 👆

[@youropionmattersnot]

Actually he is. Met him back stage on the Ah Via Musicom tour at an record company meet and greet in Atlanta. Guessing he was 5 foot 2 at best.

[@kitano0]

EJ throwing a little Gershwin in there...great jam.

[@horsecockexpress7612]

here's a quarter kid....go play in the freeway. God and Eric Johnson playing guitar together on stage, amazing!

[@markv.5962]

Clapton s not there

[@MTocci1965]

That was epic. Greg looks like a man among muppets. I knew he was tall, but that perspective really shows what a giant he is. A melodious giant of guitar groove, but still a giant.

[@mikedr1549]

Well now - just when you think the Internet can't get any better - THIS HAPPENS!

[@loulagro2315]

What amp is greg playing here? I don't see his "Greg" amp ......

[@michaelsicowitz362]

So that's what Eric's been doing lately. That was "Rocky 3", Eric is more Tone Master than Fender could ever dream to be

[@smtxtv]

Electromagnets !

[@Nozmo_King_NJ]

Watch EJ around 4:50 trying to figure out what the heck the big guy is playing!

[@GrischaGuitar]

They go into some John McLaughlin type of vibe

[@dasczwo]

Ej struggling a bit. Foh wtf turn him up!. Nice one gk.

[@jimc6687]

So, who out shown whom???

[@hjs5686]

that´s not at all what music is about....

[@elbib2446]

jeez,how tall is greg koch,looks about 8 foot,either that or other guys are small

[@malcomsue]

6'7" on a good day

[@travelbydragonfly]

In case anyone was wondering if Greg is a giant among guitar players, here's your proof...😊

[@MattyK-USA]

If you don't love that performance, that's fine. There's plenty of therapy available to get you worked out 🔥😛👍

[@hendrixpd1]

Wow!

[@MrDevins]

Greg is a big guy. That usually means he has big… Hands.

[@jamesjordan4586]

Greg when playing with other human beings you should thank about pulling up a chair.

[@brownriceprod]

guitar player challenge: no blues riff for a year.

[@dressedtosmellgood]

hilarious how these guitar gods get so used to having their asses kissed.... then get on stage with greg and he shows them how lazy and weak they are on fundamentals.

[@elrafa782]

What’s the point of uploading such bad filming for such great musicians ?

[@kitano0]

Well, you have ears don't you?

[@elrafa782]

@@kitano0 haha, well deserved 🙌

[@valdia1248]

Virtuosity both and yet uninspired by this JB spoke all that needed to be said in this jam. With all that talent on stage they cannot collaborate to create something new, something refreshing and giving something that’s makes you say wow how did they do that. Nothing like safe freeway jam yawn. Sorry for offending anyone

[@mrsith1402]

Greg talks with his guitar. Eric just does licks.

[@leechild4655]

Greg is a kind of wrecking ball if he has his way. He`s friendly enough but he`s pretty big so no one wants to tell him no. lol

[@tymanngruter1808]

Greg is always so.... poser!

[@wesworach7441]

Greg Koch - Giant of a Man ! ... EJ needs no introduction ! ...
