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.

[@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.

[@polybius23]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@captaineasychord1]

Those hippie geezers still got it! Great long rendition!

[@LisaDawnn]

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

[@nettruck4087]

This is what legends are made of...

[@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.

[@jerrysullivan113]

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

[@GenX...MCMLXV]

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

[@johnkimball4778]

You know Jorma and Jack have been playing together so long that they seem to be just intermelded in their fantastic music! Whoever they play with just themselves or adding people as somebody said previously they are a national treasure. I remember the first airplane album the first dead album and of course the first country Joe and the fish album! I never looked at music the same after here in Jack Cassidy playing bass...

[@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

[@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

[@FEBDEBFR]

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

[@Ulmontor]

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

[@jkim5678]

My favorite hymn.

[@jordana99]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@noelmiller3945]

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

[@dianedespirlet4427]

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

[@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

[@jackkeane4990]

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

[@Maxx425FR]

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

[@sharonmushock7945]

You all are amazing ! Love you! You just keep getting better. Fan since the 70's Baby!!!

[@leslettresdemonmoul1]

MAGNIFIQUE TOUT SIMPLEMENT ! TROIS GRANDS MUSICIENS QUI TIENNENT UNE BONNE PLACE DANS MA CULTURE MUSICALE ! JE NE SUIS PAS MUSICIEN MAIS J'ECOUTE BEAUCOUP DE MUSIQUE et POUR MOI HOT TUNA C'EST DU GRAND ART ! RESPECT and ADMIRATION !

[@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!

[@stephenhenion8304]

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

[@lloydclaussen3925]

Truly beautiful

[@3LadyJane]

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

[@vickipalmer3832]

Great to still have good music

[@eddisc4205]

Great to still have GREAT music AND musicians !!

[@uradragon7823]

I return here again and again to find something I've been missing.

[@aurora1957A]

wow Could anything be more sublime? masterful

[@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!!!

[@glennroddy6409]

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

[@guidoderossi2873]

semplicemente immensi! I never stopped dreaming with Jorma and Jack

[@PSYCHOHARLEY13]

This has ALLWAYS bee my favorite Airplane song...

[@johninacio4180]

I’ll be going to see them November 30 at the Cabot theater in Beverly Massachusetts how could you miss that.❤

[@Zepster77]

WOW!! That mandolin player...

[@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.

[@davijoh]

Absolutely magnificent.

[@rodneybaker2643]

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

[@rainbowkeys711]

Incredible.......fine wine, indeed. :)

[@mrpual49]

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

[@robertrindler2080]

Been listening to this tune since 1969

[@waynerizzo8648]

I just love this rendition...so amazing and tender

[@mightyhector7886]

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

[@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

[@just1again]

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

[@richlindbloom3029]

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

Just Fantastic - Jack and Jorma and the boys is National Treasures! See y'all at the Beacon for Jack's 70th! BTW: "Jorma wails and Jack hacks!" Forever!!

[@dougpotosky4102]

Classic! Classic! Classic! Thank You.

[@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!!!

[@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!

[@opellouisedalsh5192]

Music to our Good Shepards ears to the soul....

[@toniaugusta]

Thanks for sharing this with us. Just beautiful.

[@robertlacy4565]

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

[@MyCleverHandle]

@@herbythechef7624 All good musical marriages go through tough times. Mick and Keef, the Gallagher brothers, Jack Bruce and everyone he ever played with,...
