Listening 2023!😘🎶🎶

[@Nirabulator]

Still listening in 2024. Still still listening? Such wonderful, amazing, strange and beautiful music from an era I sometimes think could be described in similar terms. I am seventy-five years old now, a fair bit younger than Jorma and Jack, but still old enough to ache, and this music still stirs me. I love it.

[@patlatorres7000]

Watching the eye contact between the band members, especially between Jorma and Jack, it was no wonder that they made such great music. I remember catching them at Winterland (New Riders opened the show) and I was just knocked out of my seat. As a bassist, I always saw Jack as a pure monster, but Papa John was from another planet and Sammy was constantly underrated, just because the strength of the rest of the band! That this was all created by just four people is still beyond belief.

[@ResearchReveals]

They're still performing, their friendship still foremost. As of Dec 2022. Search Hot Tuna on KZbin.

[@painterphilippe]

Agree. Four distinct instruments four very individual lines, tempos and harmonic intervals perfectly meshed. Sheerly sublime.

[@richshields6692]

Favorite bassist. Perfect contrasting sound to the music.

[@1-shotslinger108]

When you got home from seeing a band like this you knew you had just seen something special !

I was fortunate enough to be in Jorma's 1st guitar camp 20 years ago(amazingly). You couldn't find more decent guys and excellent hands-on instructors.

[@herbythechef7624]

Did you learn a lot about fingerpicking blues in that course? Im obsessed with jormas take on the old ragtime and delta blues

[@pablosabato4608]

Papa john played a mean violin, definitely the pioneer

[@marvinacklin792]

My god this is good music! Mind blowing music. Magic! This is a treasure!

[@eugenewardjr.3506]

Joni Mitchell's line "Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you have till it's gone" came to mind as l listened to this immensely enjoyable group & read many of the comments. lt's so strange to realize that I took the unparalleled music of the 60s & 70s for granted. Looking back l realize that I believed that great music and talent like this would just always continue to be created. Then it disappeared,seemingly now, almost overnight. It was SO GREAT & WIDESPREAD it never occurred to me that it was destined to fade away. If there was one thing that would continue indefinitely during those times of swift and endless changes, it was the music that we loved as much as life itself. And luckily still can bathe in it. It will live on but can never be duplicated or replaced.

[@ResearchReveals]

Jorma & Jack are still performing as of Dec 2022, electric & acoustic. Search Hot Tuna on KZbin.

[@drdrew3]

It’s not “gone” at all. They are still together and making great live music

[@caniican]

Papa John creach! Love it so much the memories are flooding back from my high school years the best time of my life. I'm 55 now and I spent pretty much every minute either awake or sleep trying to retain that adolescent vibe and never lose that guy. I didn't want to grow old to become some old cranky dude. And I never have and it's just that much more clear to me when I see this and listen to it all week as I have. Hoppkorv blue my mind all week I brought those memories flooding back. Long live Jorma Jack Cassidy Papa John Creech

[@chuckcookus]

There's been a ton of old electric blues players but John Creach might be the only geriatric member of a contemporary rock group.

[@karenmandeville7116]

i thought that was him!! Papa John was great!

[@THE-HammerMan]

"And on EYEBROWS...Jack Casady!"

[@paint1955]

John Creach’s departure left a void that was never replaced!

[@blue-fj9ky]

Jorma & Jack please keep playing and live past 100 years!

[@douglasalan5783]

Hot Tuna was my first concert freshman year of college, September 1971. Same lineup as here. Loudest concert ever! Fantastic. Unforgettable. Thanks for posting this!

[@nomorebushz]

Very cool bass tone, with the perfect amount of distortion.

Never saw them in concert, sad. But the world is a better place with them and their music in it.

from the Jefferson Airplane to now, making so many people happy

[@pooldude317]

I was at this show! it was for in concert, the line up was The New Riders,Jerry Lee Lewis, Gladi Knight & the Pips, Hot Tuna.. and The Dead closed the show, started at 6 pm, dont know what time i got out , but the sun was up.... AMAZING!!! needless to say i didnt make class the next day... ( oh by the way, the Venue was called Bananafish Gardens at the time.... Useless Trivia)

[@jackwindrom253]

I was at the Stony Brook U show, 5 days earlier. Then again, they visited campus 4 years (2 years they were acoustic) not to mention their opening up for the Airplane for a free outdoor concert.

I attended a few produced for TV concerts in the 70’s, most notably The Midnight Special that was mostly filmed in my back yard, they were so much fun, the best band I saw was The Kinks! That Psychedelic Cowboy show would have topped my list!

[@culls33]

incredible footage-Papa John Creach added so much and Jorma is just beyond belief

[@houseofcharm]

Cool that I got to hang with John at a regular gig he did in San Diego in the 80s.

Thank you for finding and sharing this treasure!

[@dougpotosky4102]

I believe that was Jerry Garcia dancing in the crowd! What a a night! And morning! The good old days. Sometimes you forget how great Hot Tuna can play! I feel lucky. I was invited by Jack to the recording studio. They where remixing the album Burgers. A night I will never forget!!! Sunrise and Joey gave me a ride home. It was the classic car on the album cover. I wish I could turn into God. And give Hot Tuna 50 more years of music! Thank You! Hot Tuna!

[@hawaiirastalady]

Just LOVE seeing Jorma close his eyes and smile in bliss while playing Water Song! One of my favorite songs ever -- I could just listen to it on repeat for hours. Very soothing, healing music!

[@deborahbrown6408]

I agree!! Love the Water Song, love watching this, happy day's back then😘🎉🎶💗🎶

[@patrickhenrypdx5355]

Oh man, to be there in person and FEEL the bass notes that Jack plays at the beginning of Been So Long ... I wish I could time travel!

Sammy Piazza was my favorite drummer for HT!

[@rhmayer1]

Yeah, this is the Hot Tuna I remember. In fact - I just realized, looking at my old concert poster, that I saw them 12 days earlier at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds - my 2nd concert after seeing the Dead at Maples Pavilion, Stanford, a month earlier. Good times... Thanks, Jam and Psych, for this most excellent vid!

[@RoyalJelly]

Santa Clara County Fairgrounds...that was my first concert ever. Unforgettable. So that was March 10? I've never found evidence of that show, do you know of any?I think it was with Commander Cody.

[@rhmayer1]

@@RoyalJelly Yep, Saturday, 3/10/73. Search Google Images for "hot tuna concert poster santa clara county fairgrounds" and you'll see my silver poster with the turquoise ring that I still have somewhere in the garage. Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen opened for the Elvin Bishop Band and then Hot Tuna. 'Twas a fantabulous concert and what a great one for your 1st and my 2nd!

[@rogerdudra178]

I'm sure that your perception of everything was quite clear after that exposure.

[@rhmayer1]

@@rogerdudra178 Hah! I don't remember much from that show, except a clear memory of it being fantastic - all 3 bands. It was an outdoors day concert in early Spring. You couldn't ask for better times. And I recall smoking some particularly tasty and strong hash as we sat on an open cotton sleeping bag, spread on the asphalt ground - temple ball or elephant ear or Nepalese finger or some other above average variety. Awesome times!

[@ground752]

Thanks whoever recorded this and whoever posted this.

[@jupiterlegrand4817]

Saw this when it was broadcast on ABC's "In Concert". Likely the only footage of Jack playing Alembic #1.

[@BOPCHIRICO]

Saw them 71 &72 at Capitol Th, Passaic. The Creach Yrs. The best.

[@ronsansone6032]

Me too brother those were the days weren't they! Saw him in New York City they did two shows a lot! From 8 I believe till 12 or so and then it went all night long till Dawn I remember getting out of the show and it was light out. And I think a few times I left and they were still playing. They must have been speeding or tripping or something along with everyone else in there LOL

[@tonis500]

this is , and was perfection. maybe the best rock band ever.

[@mudatthewall]

My favorite Hot Tuna album is Burgers, and I'm a big fan of Long John Silver and Thirty Seconds over Winterland. And I love this. Papa John Creach added so much to the Airplane's sound and Hot Tuna's when he was with them. His eerie tone made their acid rock sound that much edgy and psychedelic, plus he got an A+ when it came to playing the blues.

[@danielosullivan3110]

Trial by fire🔥🚬😎

[@teawithsu]

Real musical high! Nothing like it these days.

[@videomaniac108]

That's some killer tone that Jack's getting from that bass.

It's all in the eyebrow-movement...

[@reginaldfitzpatrick8681]

Yeah, i cant believe he let that bass go. The first Alembic ever! Some lucky person has it in their collection. I cant imagine It was only supposed to be a prototype with a few hunks of wood and became a piece of art

[@jackbailey5304]

@@reginaldfitzpatrick8681 It seems like that bass was, unfortunately stollen. It fortunately has been recovered as of a couple of years ago and I believe it is back in Jack's possession.

The show was recorded for a tv , In concert series on Friday nights.Just as tuna came on stage a small fire started in balcony. It was put out quickly. The fire department showed up and tuna started playing. The firefighters stood in the back and watched first couple songs.

[@timothylee6859]

This sounds so great, wish i was there, saw them in New Paltz the same tour. This just sounds so great. The show at N.P. went on for 4 hours and Journey OPEN FOR HOT TUNA. Jorma started playing a lot more with a pick after this tour (not that that's a bad thing)but this stuff just kicked ass. The tone of electric finger picking (I LOVE THAT SOUND&nobody else does it, maybe Chris Smither), jazz violin with a monster rhythm section was too much fun for words. We left the building after the second encore (a 20 minute encore)came back and they were still playing playing THE SAME SONG.holy sht, what a party.

So good and in NY.

[@nickstavriotis4671]

I was at this show. They played 2 shows that night. I was at the late show, probably started around midnight. When we walked out of the theatre dawn was breaking and we went for breakfast. Papa John had a jug of wine on stage and you could see the sunshine tabs floating around in it (there were a lot) and his eyes rolling around in his head. Jorma finished a bottle of Jack Daniels (probably needed it to take the edge off all the acid). I was sitting right up front, knew the promoter. Best of many HT shows I saw.

[@sammyscotch9945]

Finally...the real deal. My first concert was Tuna in '73, at Stony Brook Gymnasium. It was exactly like this, and I have been a huge fan, ever since. That show was incredible. The only bummer was, that Cat Stevens opened for them, and the LI crowd was so rowdy for Tuna, that CS played two songs and left. We had to just sit there for an hour or two, lights up, waiting for HT to show. Loved those shows!!!

I saw this tour at the Academy Of Music in NYC, with the Climax Blues Band as the openers. Back then, the Academy (later The Palladium) had 8pm & 11:30pm shows. The 8pm show was killer, but we heard rumors of special guests for the late show, so we stayed on. By the time we left that 11:30 show, it was 6am. I only hope that today's kids can have that kind of happy happenstance, because is was so spontaneous that even thinking about it today blows my mind.
