The part about the crowd going crazy while he was soloing brings back a memory for me. Our band was playing at a bar and I had just finished a solo and the crowd started yelling and clapping, and I thought 'wow, I really nailed that'. A few seconds later I realized the Red Wings hockey game was on the TV and they had just scored a big goal late in the game. Brought me right back down. :)

[@spaghetti.lee-69]

I gotta say - never thought I'd ever hear the words " Hangin out with Taj Mahal & Smokin Meat"... WOW... Thanks

[@artemisXsidecross]

Thank you both for these stories, Spooner Oldham could be a subject of another story 😉

[@bglrj]

What a sweet-hearted, kind-spirited man.

[@sayeager5559]

Saw the train system, met his son Zack and saw Neil do Revolution Blues on the little stage at HORDE one year.

[@mikeweir3680]

@sayeager5559 That is stuff of dreams for me I've lived in a small town in Canada for most of my life, and basically neil taught us all how to play guitar, and we all loved every minute of it!!!

[@Lobo-tommy10]

I saw the Horde in Deer Creek! 19 years old, What a great memory...

[@hypnocracy6102]

First time I saw LOS was at Ziggy's in Winston Salem NC back in the 1990's. At the end of the show the back stage waiting area was stage right...While the audience was screaming for a encore...Vince and crew were rolling and lighting spliffs...the door opens and an fog rolls out on stage...band members follow flicking the party favors into the crowd. Good times!

[@gtr1952]

The barn thing reminded me of Levon Helm. The big trip to the hospital left him with a lot of medical bills. He cleaned out his barn, and made a semi-stage. Every weekend he had concerts, everybody he could grab. Then charged towns people to come and hear the greatest jam there ever was. Sadly I never got there, but the videos looked like it was a blast!! 8) --gary

[@stevendean465]

Great interview! I was lucky enough to catch two Horde Fests at the old Wolf Mountain in Utah. Leftover Salmon was great and Neil Young with Crazy Horse was an all time bucket list show for me!

[@evrgreen_69]

If I win the lottery I’m gonna fund the tour …💯😎✌️Thanks for another awesome interview Otis🙏💯🤙

[@melodymakermark]

If you’ve taken the Muscle Shoals deep dive, you’d know that Spooner found the organ lick that set Aretha’s career in motion. Sweetheart of a guy. So humble. A quiet musical giant.

[@ronaldcarr3481]

Yeah, I love Neil Young and his music. I Saw him at the. Fox theater in Atlanta, Georgia. The 12 midnight show 1976 I was 18. That's my most cherished concert

[@billdauphine951]

Wow...jealous

[@killalllamas]

This channel is gold. Thank you, Otis.

[@deancollins2564]

Mr. Gibbs, I'm in a small town in Canada, I love your stories, and as a guy with a blues trio, who is a hack, I like when you talk about DIY. I just play blues, I am not competent enough for bluegrass. We just play to create, I love your attitude, I love that you share these epic stories about legends. Thank you, sir.

[@99sask]

Me too , Rouleau Sask

[@robbie5984]

Thanks for another priceless story Otis!

[@nicholasmichael68]

Met Vince at their show in Fairbainks. AK. back in 99. Super nice guy...the whole band passed pipes with the fans after the show. Great guys!!!

[@ronaldcarr3481]

You do a good job, mr Gibbs, you just keep it up. We love it gotta have more.

[@keithesaurus]

Love this

[@joblo6394]

Vince Hermannnnn 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@julesotis13]

[@robertwynkoop7112]

Looking forward this summer to Vince and LS along with Del McCoury, Molly Tuttle, Sierra Farrell, Sam Bush, Them Coulee Boys, Watchouse and lot of others at Blue Ox festival here in WI. Another great musical experience! Otis, you are invited too, stop on by!

[@scottkidwell3601]

Many thanks, Otis and Vince 🙏🏻🤍 Great stories!

[@wmarkfish]

In 91 my 7 year old son and I were traveling south from Clear Lake and Harbin Springs in my VW camper van along a narrow county road half way lost when we passed a man on the side of the road standing outside his T-bird with a map laid out on its roof. We drove passed and pulled over about 100 yards on. I looked at my son and he at me and I said, “is that who I think it is” and my son, who knew every Neil Young song by heart, cried out “It’s Neil Young! Should we help him, Dad?” “Well,” I said “ we’re as lost as he is, and besides he probably is trying to get lost. I think we should leave him alone.” We pulled out and drove on. To this day I wonder, but I don’t regret giving the man a well deserved break.

[@1999zrx1100]

Great stuff as usual 👏👍

[@BaconTomatoCheese]

Man, what a great story. Sure sounds like a good time! Would love to get in on something like that sometime…

[@buck13horn]

Reliving Leftover Salmon, along with Squirrel Nut Zippers and others from early 2000s at West Palm Beach, FL, festival. Superbly unclassifiable music. Excellent stories from Vince, a typically outstanding guest.

[@BST501]

❤❤❤

[@julesotis13]

i swear ive met this cat but idk why where whut anyway neil young and lionel trains is rad i got some lionel trains...awesome

[@julesotis13]

funny I waited on Taj and his band some years back when I was still working at the African Caribbean joint I do recall a lot of eating.......I did not recognize him at first but this being Sana Fe I knew the big black fellla and kinda gruffy hairy posse were not locals or i would have known them altready so I said I gotta ask adding my guess was they were poet truck drivers....at first Taj just said they were playing tomorrow then the identiy was revealed......they were chill.......since Vince mentioned smoking meats too bad as Taj just played Sana Fe again like weeks ago or a little more that he didnt find the BBQ joint I work out now as t he slinger of the only real smoked BBQ this town has ever seen....poot tweet

[@Thurston86]

Worked with Vince in the 80s knockin' out brunch orders at Nancy's restaurant in Boulder CO. Wild guy! He kept the kitchen rocking with great cassette tapes in the boom box. Leftover Salmon played a hand full of gigs at the Pioneer Inn in Nederland CO . Great shows!

[@davidmontgomery5047]

I miss the Old Colorado ,lived there from birth til '1990 ,every Time I go Back it's a little Bit Worse ,and Now it's So overcrowded and the Traffic is horrible not to mention all the Homeless and illegals .

[@J.T.Hatchet]

Smokin' meats with Henry. Yeah - that's living. Pretty profound closing statement at the end, Otis. It's about community, and in my book there's nothing more alive than a community of artist.

[@MurrayWilliams]

“Never been good at finding money”. You and me brother.

[@kiernanthomas6006]

Holmdel NJ 1998 I saw Niel and Squirrel Nut Zippers there.

[@ThrasherWheat]

Some good memories of Horde 96. Yeah, the little side stage gigs w/ Neil were pretty cool and unprecedented. Thanks for sharing.

[@petersheely7246]

👍😎

[@KevinEllisGuitars]

Awesome!

[@ThomasVogel-w8x]

Made me hungry for bbq.

[@architypeone8646]

Sounds like a pretty good life! I was wondering if you don't know Taj Mahal personally and you want to talk to him, do you address him as "Mr. Mahal?"

[@J.T.Hatchet]

or maybe Mr. Henry St. Claire Fredericks Jr, pit-boss, sir!

[@robzagar4275]

Thank you made my day man!

[@guybratby5292]

Otis I helped put you on in Sevenoaks England a couple of times. I relate to this video because just seeing some of the bands I have seen bring that same experience of being so lucky to be there. My first gig was Black sabbath 82 with dio but after I discovered blues I was lucky to see John lee hooker, BB King, Albert Collins, Honeyboy Edwards and more recently Gregg Allman at his last ever UK gig. If you have never seen John Otway the movie then watch it as it proves you can succeed with loyal supporters even when you go to far. Funny as hell movie. 🎸

[@Royale_with_Cheeese]

Many of the greatest artists, although living in America, have come from Canada. Neil, Joni, Leonard, Robbie... the list goes on.

[@lepetitoiseau]

Hi ! Ralph!

[@Royale_with_Cheeese]

@@lepetitoiseau Poo-Ahhhhhh

[@hammill444]

Sorry, but I’m a little sick and tired of hearing about Neil. His capitulation to Spotify and the like after his righteous stand was pretty pathetic. Not to mention disappointing. He caved to cash. Lost a lot of respect for him.

[@jeanschaefer8514]

Well, you don't have to listen to or about him, if you don't want to.
