Frank Vignola, Julian Lage & Vinnie Raniola play "Caravan" at Woodstock Show

This was at the Woodstock Luthiers Exhibition in Woodstock, NY - October 24, 2010. One of those amazing moments! It begins from the end of "Nuages" and unfortunately ends when my camcorder battery dies... still pretty damn good.

With respect to Frank & Julian, rhythm ace VINNIE RANIOLO deserves wider recognition. A GROOVE so deep, so phat & wide provided the ideal playground for the protagonists to play in. Well done Vinnie. Well played guys. pcHux.

[@largadrive]

Julian is very unusual in his phrasing and never competes.He is way beyond that.From what I hear from him the piece he is playing or the situation he is in will cause him to play down to fit,another words he is a true artist

[@afxmnstr]

Frank is a player you never try to cut. Julian competes a lot, but he respects his elders.

[@josephtravers777]

Julian jumping in and playing those harmonizing 3rd lines is a killer!

[@bakerrorick]

Credit where credit's due: Vinny Raniolo off-camera on rhythm guitar!

[@user-zw7oe4jv3j]

Julian makes me feel excited with jazz guitar once again

[@killyourtelevision]

Agree with you completely.

[@sergiomanzano3660]

Don't worry about that. Instead of getting frustrated, just be glad you can enjoy his music.

[@jcunn1951]

Yes! Vinny is great and he and Frank have a great show together.

[@Boldstrummer]

Tear it up Frank!

[@ohillary]

most excellent post - those dudes are trippin without their luggage!

[@PeterVail]

Two truly superb musicians showing how to play together and interact . Two masters of the craft. Superb choice of lines and phrasing.

[@avatarist]

Love these two together! Damn - Julian is SO VERSATILE!

[@curtisparrymusic]

This is awesome! Thanks for posting this!

[@hearpalhere]

What a performance, perfection!

[@PesoDeus]

Two fantastic players. And my man in the back holding it down

[@hannahandrews234]

And then his friggin' battery dies! Classic. Thanks tho for getting most of it!

[@EmilErnebroGuitar]

Wow! Im so inspired! This inspired me to sell my guitars!

[@SeanAsheOfficial]

So freaking awesome

[@nacienlos70]

Ok, wait... Vignola makes a descending phrase and Julian immediately plays a second line for that without looking at the guitar... no words. Check 3:46

[@thomasboucher3087]

That is one of the most impressive thing I have ever seen

[@hendrix0is0lord]

Just pure class!! GOD DAMN IT!!

[@crieverytim]

BLUE BALLED!!!!!!

[@adrianscally]

Yeah, Julian's solo on the two minute mark is just out of this world and the interplay from 4:30 makes me want to run out into the street and hug strangers.

[@DarthClam]

What a cliffhanger!!! Thanks for posting though...

[@SuperTriniDaddy]

I'd like to see Julian and Bireli Lagrene or Jimmy Rosenberg.

[@bluntobjct]

amaaaaaaazing

[@cftdd]

very nice indeed!

[@RealDiaz]

Julian is a beast! I have probably been playing ten years longer than this kid and can't compete, shit, back to practicing 8 hours a day again for me, lol.

[@carlcurtis]

Too great! What more is there to say?

[@MrTonefingers]

Wow, Julian gets that old L5 to spank just as much as Frank's louder and brighter Parker. I think it's so skilled of Julian to stay in the "style" of the tune without going outside the fringe, Django would have dug him. Frank too 1+, great melding of consciencness.

[@jcunn1951]

I love getting these comments - it's a reminder to go watch the video again! Every time I do it gets even better.

[@leomorland]

3:10 is why i love julian lage

[@mikelunz]

That's hilarious, I was thinking the same thing along the line.... and here comes you with the actual statement.

[@afxmnstr]

Even in a young age he shows class while chopping with frank. Impressive to see. I would have over played and been destroyed in my hubris.

[@largadrive]

I guess you can tell I like him

[@MrJazzRyu]

more video!!!

[@cjgreen4331]

His camera didn't die, it was destroyed by the straight fire these two produce

[@MrQuigglyWins]

Whoa

[@ElisabethCutler]

Ken Parker Archtop there... guitarist in middle, Frank Vignola?

[@spaacesinthewind]

wheres part 2?! 😭

[@antoniogallen9799]

Ufff!!Too much

[@PhullKnameNullContent]

let's hear it for the third man, the guy who's holding down the fort while those 2 are out there - credit at least?

[@dgmando1]

Oh I get it, Julian is the sickest guitar player in the world.

[@geneleone]

gahhhhhh and then it ENDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tonycatalano3992]

I think Julian's phrasing, lines and so on show a great deal of maturity. I don't think he is ever technical for the sake of being technical. I hold this solo up as a great example of playing outside in a melodic way. I think Frank should be commended for providing a great response to Julian: a straight forward and motivic solo. Frank realized after Julian's solo it would be excessive to play lines, so he opted to be melodic.It wasn't his greater skill, it was just a good artistic choice.

[@bakerrorick]

My take on Julian is that has gone beyond technique, everything totally internalized and in service to the moment. Just revisiting this before reposting on Woodstock Invitational Luthiers Showcase page.

[@jcunn1951]

Could you provide a link to this video on your channel? I don’t monetize my videos but I think it would be nice for your subscribers.

[@tdavidson7074]

Why can't you favorite a video twice?

[@housecat9576]

1:55

[@jaydoebud]

Bow down

[@Toni.Carrillo]

PDF: kzbin.info/www/bejne/boaxdKavn7OabLM Check if you want, thanks

[@bluboiblumovilestrange1621]

did I ask you to stop ? then why did you stop playing ?

[@dgmando1]

@Jay Cunningham

[@InfoArtistJK]

I want Julian to play my G.U.T. Guitar! Inherited from original owner my G.reat U.ncle T.ony. The earliest original blonde 1938 Gibson L-5 with original white pickguard.

[@jcunn1951]

Nice! Do you have a photo?

[@InfoArtistJK]

Jay Cunningham Lots. I've had it since 2005. But how do I show u. Actually, it's on Reverb.com (though I will be taking that off soon since I am able to keep it in my family and sold it to my father). JK

[@mikelunz]

Inversions. ;D

[@ronkopald]

Vinnie Raniolo is the hero of this video. And I love all these guys, but sorry! You should kneel before Vinny.

[@SWAT1H13]

Can they play 1357?

[@FrettieFingers]

something wrong here.

[@kylelawrence8982]

You must be joking, right? Sure, Julian could learn learn some things from Frank, but you aren't implying that you think Frank is that much better than Julian, are you? I much rather listen to Julian, but that's just me. However, you can't seriously think Julian Lage is worse than Frank Vignola
