Acoustic Hot Tuna - Good Shepherd - Live at Fur Peace Ranch

[@RichardCook-on3gf]

Listening to Hot Tuna makes me feel like I am with friends.

[@JonathanDaddy]

It does my heart so, so good to see these guys -- idols of my youth -- still making great music, still looking well, still sounding great. Keep on, keepin' on you guys....

[@lloydclaussen3925]

Idols of my now

[@larryleitch3803]

Jorma and John Cassidy played my senior year in high school at a break. Peace and love.

[@scottstreewurk_61]

Its great to see that after all these years not only is the music great, but Jack's eyebrows still play along with the band

[@polybius23]

Revisiting after a long, long time. Good for the soul in these crazy times we are living through.

[@hashburystumble8808]

& now nearly ten years later Jorma has been streaming live shows every week from the Fur Peace Ranch throughout the Covid pandemic. Still looking & sounding great.

[@samredbird4225]

He got me thru the worst of it. ❤️❤️❤️

[@pumazpawz]

The addition of Barry Mitterhoff on mandolin is really the cherry on top of Hot Tuna.

[@revofife]

Would have loved to hear Papa John on this too. He'd be about 102 today. Hard to believe he's been gone damn near 30 years.

[@herbythechef7624]

Agreed and jorma can even pull it all of on his own. Hot tuna was never not great. I loved their early 70s electric stuff too but my favourite hot tuna performances lie in the mid 2000s with barry

[@robertrindler2080]

Been listening to this tune since 1969

[@surfstrat59]

Artsy and unadorned.......never was that beautiful old song so well rendered. Jorma's voice is great! Thanks for sharing.

[@mrpual49]

One of my favorite of songs Jorma and Jack brought to the Aiplane, beautifully rendered here.

[@franktaylor2986]

What a gift, they are way past the point where they are doing this to pay the bills. They love us, as much as we love them. Go see them every single time you can. They never disappoint.

[@nettruck4087]

This is what legends are made of...

👏🎗💟💛💞🎀

[@jonstanton7852]

Just saw them last night (march 31 2018). Timeless. Still true to their calling. How blessed they are, how blessed we are.

[@nowiknowuryder]

Jon Stanton omg saw them on NYE - what a treat

[@richlindbloom3029]

Barry fits Hot tuna like a glove

[@taimeuppe6174]

End of Aug 2024 and Jorma and Jack are still with us.. awesome sauce

[@TheRandyDowning]

Thanks, Jorma. I'm 66 in '23. You and Jack have been.... kind of a guiding star or something since I was 15. Wish I could visit Fur Peace Ranch, but I've got these critters to feed. Glad for the internet. Peace and love, brother.

[@martyboy4386]

KZbin, the song from the advert directly after this 11 minuter jamming session, was Barry White, My everything. Instantly. I love Barry White but, you need to sort that shit out.

[@LisaDawnn]

I wish I could feel the way Jack looks when he's playin' :) Nothing tops acoustic Hot Tuna!!

[@captaineasychord1]

Those hippie geezers still got it! Great long rendition!

[@hvymettle]

In the summer of 1979, Hot Tuna was on a break and Jorma was touring solo. I caught him at JB Scotts in Albany, NY, that July. The place could hold around 300 people and there were only 50 of us there. Jorma played a 2.5-hour acoustic set. Genesis blew out my mind. Still the best night of picking I ever heard.

[@HAGMAN3926]

I love that song and the whole Volunteers record

[@asherzeiger9490]

I never get tired of listening to Tuna....

[@brd400]

Asher Zeiger I hear ya. After all these years still get off on this music

[@donaldgehre5964]

I have been lucky to have been around long enough to witness many incarnations of Hot Tuna and they just keep getting better and better-acoustic and electric. The addition of Barry over the last ten years or so adds another four dimensional window to Tuna's sound and in case one didn't notice, this rendition of Good Shepherd displays the craft of their musicianship rather well. Hot Tuna is a national treasure. Why they aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is unbelievable.

[@jordana99]

It’s practically my favorite thing in the world to watch musicians up close! This is amazingly beautiful. 💜

[@jaddison1112]

I have loved this song since it was recorded when I was a teenager. It feeds my soul.

[@simonagree4070]

I love these guys so much, Jack and Jorma... It just doesn't get any better. The mandolin is a sweet touch, too.

[@GenX...MCMLXV]

This shit brings tears to my eyes............ been there seen acoustic & electric many times... but this is top shelf

[@jerrysullivan113]

WOW!!!!! 3 GUYS MAKING REAL MUSIC,,,,, VERY VERY WELL.

[@FEBDEBFR]

thank you Jorma, Jack and Barry. Just amazingly beautiful, will stand the test of time always!

[@StephenHankins]

Love the way we can all stay close to god, through tuna.DC gospel blues

[@noelmiller3945]

The best of the San Francisco enlightened sound! Love this.

[@richlindbloom3029]

I can't help but feel that the Rev Gary had a very deep, personal relationship with christ

[@herbythechef7624]

Rev gary davis spread the gospel

[@cityzen2717]

Jorma and Jack. What could b better? Saw the Airplane 50 yrs ago at the Avalon in SF. A most TRANSCENDENT night. Talked 2 Grace 12 yrs ago in FLA; same irreverent iconoclast. RIP Spencer Dryden and Paul Kantner.

[@bobphillips3222]

And now, sadly, we have to add Marty Balin to the RIP list.

[@diannefraniewski9195]

RIP Marty Balin Great artist.

[@kateshiningdeer3334]

Jack's website has nice tributes to Paul and Marty - And early Airplane female singer, Signe Anderson - who died the EXACT SAME DAY as Paul (weird, right?) Signe was replaced by Grace, as I've heard it, right after a double-bill concert of Grace, then with The Great Society, and The Jefferson Airplane (with Signe at the time) somewhere in 1966 (I don't remember the exact date, sorry!) Wikipedia says that Signe's last concert with the band was in October of '66, and a quick check showed that the only Airplane album she was on is "Jefferson Airplane Takes Off" (Other than maybe some guest spots later on - I'm not sure what's out there in "unofficial" recordings!) Paul and Signe's can be found about halfway down this page: www.jackcasady.com/page/4/ and Marty's (written by Jorma) is still on the main page, a bit more than halfway down. www.jackcasady.com/ Jorma also did a nice writeup on Paul & Signe here: jormakaukonen.com/cracksinthefinish/?m=201601 And this is Marty's here, top of the page (with neat photos!): jormakaukonen.com/cracksinthefinish/?m=201809

[@daf827]

I saw Hot Tuna freshman year of college, fall 1972. Loudest concert I ever attended! It's so wonderful to see them now. Jorma and Jack have aged so gracefully. Great mando solo! Thanks for posting!

[@Maxx425FR]

Thanks to Hot Tuna for allowing me to share this tune!

[@saunadude1]

Jorma looks so pleased with himself, and rightly so! A visit to Fur Peace is at the top of my bucket list!

[@Ulmontor]

i come here everyday to listen to this piece of pure art and talent :)

[@glennroddy6409]

The boys really brought it in this gem. Many thanks!

[@PSYCHOHARLEY13]

This has ALLWAYS bee my favorite Airplane song...

[@Zanthxs]

Love that Epiphone classic bass ... what a sound. These guys were young men when I was a teen ... they had just started ... later Jefferson Airplane.

[@dianedespirlet4427]

Outstanding solo Jorma last night at Cap Theatre, Clearwater, FL. Beautiful rendition.

[@Targetteer1]

What a great performance just as tasty as can be especially with Barry's fantastic solo.Barry is one of my all time favorite mando players such great tone and note separation with perfectly fitting improv to the melody.I hope these guys stay together for a long time,it really cant get any better!

[@vickipalmer3832]

Great to still have good music

[@eddisc4205]

Great to still have GREAT music AND musicians !!

[@jkim5678]

My favorite hymn.

[@robertwright2417]

In this new era of music I find myself returning to you guys for my inspiration in playing and writing. You guys will never know what your music has meant to me...in my life!!!

[@brendagibbons671]

most explosive music ever experienced in the states. Fortunate enough to be a witness and follower of musical icons that exemplify talent on matched.. One of a kind that recent generations need to understand about building music from the past . Kingston, N.Y. 1988 Uncle Wileys, Thanks

[@DrMitchMedina]

What a range of emotional expression has been packed into this-older-than-dirt gospel song! It was my favorite track from the Volunteers album; but now age, wisdom and comfort are flowing out of the tracks. Couldn't be better!!!

[@rjwh67220]

If you don't know Jorma, you don't know Jack!

[@rodneybaker2643]

I,m listening/watching Hot Tuna ,filmed 2011 ! Thankyou for still playing together ,and giving this gift ,,loved you through 70,s still do ,,,way down Tasmania !!!

Jorma and jack had a falling out before but they are literally best friends for life

[@herbythechef7624]

@@MyCleverHandle very true. everyone goes through good and bad times. but im glad these 2 consider each other best friends to this day :)

[@clemsplace]

No offering has given me more over the last year than what Jorma and the folks at Fur Peace have. Thank you!

[@3LadyJane]

i could not love this band any more. Saw them in tucson a couple months ago. Best show ever!

[@mightyhector7886]

absolutely amazing, saw Jorma and Jack up in Stowe a few weeks back and it was unreal, great show!

[@jackkeane4990]

Beautiful rendition......I remember Airplane doing this YEARS ago!

[@michaelmaraschky996]

I had the joy of seeing Hot Tuna years ago in Cleveland Hts. I creep up close to the stage to see better. What an amazing concert. One of the best I have ever been to. Thanks for all of your music. Still hitting it!

I played in Washington Square with Barry . Once.... the Renuion....about 10 years ago!!

This was always one of my favorite Airplane songs, a real departure from the usual rock n roll fare.

[@toniaugusta]

Thanks for sharing this with us. Just beautiful.

[@stefankwiatkowski5241]

simply excellent

[@richlindbloom3029]

all three's eyes are closed - just flat out jammin

[@herbythechef7624]

Music is meant to be not only heard but also felt. And they are FEELIN IT

[@timoflea8417]

Very nice performance of one of my favorite Jefferson Airplane songs; one which I might have thought an acoustic version would fall short of the mark for lack of that signature electric riff. Yet, you guys pulled it off, and with a cool jam - quite a flourish!

[@just1again]

Hope they play this tonight. Its one of my favorites!

[@mikewilkinson4588]

Jorma and Jack are awesome....thank you for Hot Tuna ....

[@diannefraniewski9195]

Great music from two of the best...no matter what they do..its all good baby!!

OMG! So good!

[@brianjeffery2294]

I'd like to share this on my sister Kathy Miller's fb page as she is about to embark on some serious heart operations. She sleeps and eats all Jefferson Airplane and all the journeys you have all traveled. She's on a journey I fear her heart may not survive. She turned 61 on March 17th and I want to make sure she makes 72.

[@HarryAreola0]

I hope it's not too late. I'm atheist and have my fingers crossed wishing her good luck.

[@jerrysullivan113]

HOPE SIS IS DOING WELL. ONE THING FOR SURE FROGMAN, ALL THINGS PASS! AT TIMES THE OLD ADAGE "FIDO" SEEMS SHALLOW, BUT IS THE LOT OF A WARRIOR TO DO SO. I WISH YOU WELL, AND SIS. :-) OL' JER THE 60s GRUNT.

I enjoyed this,,

[@zenwolfpup106]

Jorma! I was born 15 years after you - 12/23/55, and I grew up down the street from the Goodman brothers, Frank, Billy & Jon.... I left for school in D.C. about the same time Billy found Kimock. I use to hit the dive bars in Levittown every chance I got to hear those guys.... they played covers mostly back then, but they had a good sound. I would always chew on Frank’s ear between sets about you and Jack and a new sound - the Rev. Gary Davis... but Frank wasn’t really interested. Oh well. I bought a classical guitar for $25 and taught myself a lot of your acoustic songs from "The Orleans House" (sp?), and then life happened and I stopped playing. I met your cook @ The Himalayan Institute some years back and played some of your/The Rev’s stuff for him. He sent me one of your CD’s after he went back to your place in Ohio. His name escapes me now... He was a nice kid. Anywho, I see Billy and Steve finally found you. You had a big influence on my life. Thanks for bringing a whole generation your sound. Maybe we’ll meet some day. Best regards, Jonathan
