George Benson - Weekend in LA (Live Montreux 1986)

[@robertwolf3969]

Listening in 2024 and this music is as right today as it was almost 40 years ago. Timeless.

[@aureliuradu9853]

Finished my gig just now, was playing jazz , then got in my car , turned the volume up as loud as i could and put this song on repeat for 50 kilometers drive back home, ive smiled the whole time :) WHAT AN AMAZING TUNE AND BAND , JESUS !

[@imakeyoufeelthisway]

After I finish work everyday, I'm in the same boat☆

[@realpolitik2617]

This tune can never be recreated as flawless and cohesive as this rendition. I love the horn section. George Benson is the master of guitar.

[@baldy555]

This is the song I got hooked in 1979 when I got my driver's license, and played that album in the car, loud, over and over again, with the windows down. Boy, I wish those days could come back once more.

[@SolarRadioFM]

It can, only if you want it !!!

[@baldy555]

@@SolarRadioFM I do. Show me how...

[@epceddie36]

Watching George Benson smile while playing the guitar is a gift from God. What a tremendous musician. He has more talent in his little pinky than any of this year's Grammy winners. Thank you to everyone on youtube who posts great videos like this!

[@cooldork68]

As a singer he is good. As a guitar player he is one of greatest ever!!!

[@RailJoyProductions]

THE Guitar Master! Weekend In L.A. always has such a joyful tune. Reminds me of hoppin' nightlife in the city, and of the beautiful sandy beaches on the California Coast.

Bought the tape, George Benson Weekend in LA, (it was 1980) in Singapore whilst travelling with my family. My dad bought me the first Sony Walkman then and I bought this tape too at that time to listen to. Couldn't stop listening to the tape, and it has been an important part of my life. Remember listening to it on the plane on the way back to London in 1980, and then again and again, throughout my life since. Thanks for the upload, and thanks George Benson. Peace

[@sessionette]

incredible Benson !!!!!

[@mrdgrp2]

While no one can argue that George belongs among the very BEST jazz gutarist like Earl Klugh & Eric Gale , we should not fail to recognise the efforts of Harvey Manson on Drums . the way Havey is hitting those drums on this track also put him in the same class as Tony Williams , Steve Gadd & Billy Cobham
