This song saved my life when I was a teenager. Truth. Gave me something to live for. Thank you Jorma and Jack. D

[@rae8432]

I can relate with that my friend

[@skynrdpikr]

They can do that can't they? Good for you brother! 💞✌🏼😎

[@ThomasRogan-gc5pi]

Went to my first Tuna show in 1975 yes I'm getting old! Probably have seen Tuna or Jorma 100 times and one thing you can count on there will be some different element to any song every time you see them! Both are in their 80's hopefully they'll play for ever but I know they've given me endless listening pleasure

[@johnnaylor1706]

Hot Tuna / Leon Russell (summer of 70) Dead /Riders/Tuna (Fall 70) Tuna ... CW Post 1973 (Fall73) ... the never ending show... only show I ever attended where the band didn't take a break, but at a certain point the audience did ...show went on well over 4 hours... and streams of people went outside for a break Again in 75 at Stonybrook .... After that life got in the way ...remember Albany with Roy Buchanan and The Band .. that was the last one

[@ThomasRogan-gc5pi]

​@@johnnaylor1706Most of my Tuna shows were just 4-5 hour Tuna shows although at 80 they usually come in a little short of 3 hours 😂

[@diannegrach6376]

Greatest thrill of my life was seeing Hot Tuna acoustic. Now I need to see an electric show. If you don't know Jorma, you don't know Jack.

[@anthonymaccherone]

They sold T shirts with that slogan on them at one of the shows I saw they at.

[@tomn7287]

From all these years that I've listened to this, it has always been Jack's Bass that gave this tune the power it needed to put it on another level. One of the best rock instrumentals of all time.

[@joshuabyron4893]

+Tom N Indeed!

[@danedelinski9085]

Papa John Creech gave it an added mystic.too but that bass was the anchor no doubt

[@edbankston5593]

@@danedelinski9085 Played the he'll out of Burgers album I thought it was the sound that embodied the feeling of the times, makes me feel good

[@michaelwesterland1853]

It'd've been nice if they'd plugged in his amp for this one, of course.

[@keithcunningham2254]

As timeless as music, itself.

[@HopHeadSeattle]

Two of the world's greatest, what an amazing career they've had ...and still going strong as friends & bandmates after all these glorious years...

[@TheJunehog]

At his technical height in the late 1980s, Jorma was one of the best Piedmont-style guitarists in American history. Always on my Mr Rushmore of acoustic guitarists.

[@edbankston5593]

No doubt, never boring, especially if you are a guitar player yourself

[@JfK--OBJECTivE]

Jorma, one of Rock's great guitarists.

[@biffjohnson7891]

Always want more Jack 🎼🎼💕🎼🎼

[@SwampDog1957]

Also one of the most underrated.

[@thegreatchain7112]

idiots labeled Jorma 54th greatest rock guitarist ! Cippolina & Jorma and Jerry 1-2-3 in my opinion for psychedelic guitarist

[@noneofyourbusiness5986]

👍 use to listen to this song every Sunday morning on Cornell's WVBR early morning program in the 70'S made my whole week GREAT song

[@pdxrailtransit]

Louder Jack, LOUDER!

[@francinegallo4815]

watched these two grow from JA days like fine wine better with age

[@disco0752]

Played this song for baby girl on guitar and she still wont leave me alone

[@donbuck8110]

Good to see these 2 old hippies playing so well after all these years. Some young people could learn a thing or to watching these guys, real musicians

[@justgivemethetruth]

Yeah, like how NOT to stay in time to the music and confuse the hell out of your fellow players.

[@donbuck8110]

It's live that's what happens when you play live for better of for worse.

[@justgivemethetruth]

@@donbuck8110 Funny I was watching some of these videos because I have always like Jorma Kaukonen's guitar electric guitar style ... but it seemed like these two really hated each other not too long ago.

[@donbuck8110]

I don't think so, they were boah from in the JA but left to start Hot Tuna so they must of have somthing going

[@justgivemethetruth]

@@donbuck8110 Oh yeah, there is a video of JK saying he had nothing to do with JC anymore and did not think they would ever get back together. Financial considerations keep these guys together, because that is what they are known for and they cannot make a living apart. That is tough to do if really dodo not like someone.

[@debrabock6475]

Simply the best acoustics

[@pirpirpir-os7ms]

Hard to believe it's the same guys but it is. Love and light. Heartbeat. Yes, Jefferson Airplane. All time favorite.

[@rae8432]

One of the greatest songs ever played. Great job guys, y'all nailed it.

[@kmng3207]

The best, new music out does not compare to the great talent of this era...

[@mymymymickey]

2 GOAT's together!

[@joshuabyron4893]

I saw them play this in 1987 and it was wonderful.

[@michaelsteding7720]

Saw Jorma acoustic in 86. Was insane. I worked at Skippers Smokehouse in Tampa and they booked him. Met him before the show backstage and he was the most humble and kind person you would ever want to meet. Will never forget that experience.

[@larrystoltenberg8361]

Love this song!

[@MrPoodleguy]

Watersong - my all time favorite by Hot Tuna❤️❤️

[@MrPoodleguy]

Mine too!! ❤️❤️

[@biffjohnson7891]

Our musical angels still among us So humble kind and masterful These two are warriors that destroy darkness And Reveal light. With their weapons Axes is hand. They show the light ahead that we forget In the midst of such heartbroken darkness Thank you so so very much Jack and Jorma You two created a miraculous symphony that will grow in our hearts forever beyond this life reminding us. Basic human needs and basic human deeds Reveals our common ground And musical masterpieces reveal that I dream I see Hot Tuna again. As they come soon their 57th anniversary Still flowing and nurturing. like water {🔥}:=}

[@rodheywood9430]

A great song. I can't imagine these guys would ever tire of playing this song.

[@BrunoG03-Vichy]

Love this beautiful old song!

[@jimandsuepfeiff]

Love this tune--but turn up the bass! Casady makes all Jorma's goodness even better!

[@jebziffel2929]

Jim and Susan Pfeiffenberger .... a d Jack has all of his dynamic velocity and phrasing.

[@ssnobrakesable]

Was in high school when this came out. I loved it so much, but never knew the band. I had heard of Hot Tuna, but on the East coast they weren't that big. Fast forward 50 years and this beautiful instrumental somehow pops up on my playlist. I am in heaven. I cant describe how good this tune makes me feel . I was never a big JA fan, but I am certainly now a fan of Jorma and Jack.........Keep on truckin'.

[@soulhealer20]

I can never get enough of this. I learned to play this song after seeing Jorma teach it in a video. I already loved the song 30 years earlier and now it has opened a world of fingerstyle playing for me. I call it West Coast Effervescent Steel String Guitar.

[@blucat4]

So Watersong is water soluble? 🙂

[@markjackson-z2j]

I just heard this in Applebee's and had to look it up. Amazing

[@lorettacaputo6997]

Another one of those guitar pieces that never gets old. From the first time I heard that acoustic guitar, I loved floating down that river of flowing sounds. This is the sound of water that bathes my body and being in pure pleasure.

[@janiceerickson2804]

Love this. And love seeing them play all these years! Came on my car radio yesterday (WXRT-Chicago) and I had to pull over I was so taken.

[@donbuck8110]

I didn't know XRT was still playing this old stuff. I like new music but this old stuff is great too.

[@Wolfwolveswolf]

Definitely-

[@randyallen4959]

I love Jorma's and Jack's music and have listened to them since they were in Jefferson Airplane and have listened to Hot Tuna continually since. I would really like to go to Fur Peace, but live across the river at the opposite side of Ohio. Health and finances keep me planted in northern Kentucky. Wishing them both peace, prosperity, and happiness. 😊

[@natsthename]

This song always blows me away.

[@MrBlaser51]

It will always be magic to me every time !!!!!

[@staggerproof5589]

One of the finest and most unique rock instrumentals ever. Jack Cassidy's distorted bass was a powerful palpable part of this song and sadly it is almost missing on this version. Still, a great somewhat underrated piece of music.

[@cravinbob]

"Underrated" is most over-used word on music videos. Underrated by who may I ask? You do not know do you...

[@pirpirpir-os7ms]

it's only distorted by playback equipment. One might possibly benefit by better playback equipment. just sayin', don't shoot the messenger. Very cleanly engineered recording. Try someone else's system just for ho hos is what I'm sayin'. Love your comment, keep on, pray on, press on.🤗❤

[@dutchflats]

Miraculously great piece of music, loved it then and I love it now! Thanks Jorma and Jack...

[@bernieritters7206]

The first time I heard this...❤

[@danedelinski9085]

The musical marker of the 60 ' s spirit of sympathetic peace love and music. I still listen to this and Genesis almost every single day *

[@beyondthenorm1257]

only band i would see live and pay good money for! i took my cousin to see them at the space' in westbury, he was very reluctant nows he's calling me to ask me when are we gonna see them again. love you jorma & jack, thank you for sharing your gift with us, one of the greatest acoustic pieces ever written

[@mattwitkowski6329]

Beautiful

[@RichardCook-on3gf]

Great song. Very unusual chord changes and rhythm. These guys play with feeling in a way that transfers to the listener, and they have fun while playing.

[@perryjensen5585]

Thank you so much for your contribution to wonderful music!

[@richardknowles9212]

wow..these two

[@afterthefox]

a masterpiece...

[@mblom819]

We saw them at People's Temple on Geary in 70s, they played for hours. And they said, "Come back tomorrow we're playing more." Didn't charge a thing. We hitched a ride with some businessman from the midwest amd after that nite, well I think he had some pretty good memories.

[@donbuck8110]

You can't hear the bass because it's on u-tube not the original record. Hook your laptop to your amp or reciever and run it through a graphic eq. You will get more volume and gerat sound, otherwise buy the record and play it on a turntable, I have boath options and I like the vinyl sound. Music quality sucks on line but if you tweek it it can sound really goog. BTW I haven't seen a copy or Burgers by Hot Tuna in 40yrs

[@andrewsilverstein6186]

Better than ever..thank you..beautiful

[@albertfernandez9934]

6 years and still no bass, ?Time for take 2 Guys !!!1 of my top 5 Hot Tuna jams...

[@andrewwinters8467]

It's lacking treble....not mixed well.

[@rudymaynard69]

I love how this song has evolved, paralleling Jorma and Jack's musical, and personal, relationship. They're indisputably the premier instrumental artists of their generation.

[@barrygaynor1025]

Well done.

Beautiful! Wish Jack turned it up a bit though.

[@Beemerboy324]

Jack looks like he did back then but just with a haircut.

[@ggrape0]

Beautiful as always. Guitar tuning is alternative or it is impossible to play. Brilliant!

Most excellent ♥

[@avatar6100]

awesome ness !

[@craighill388]

I think that if you put Jorma in a room with Lindsay Buckingham, with their complimentary styles, there would be some great music that would make millions for them and joy for us since there hasn't been any good NEW music the likes of what these guys pulled off awhile ago...needs a revival with new material.

[@marylong7823]

[@drrjim]

can't watch it without bass :-(

[@derekhoward9201]

Would be nice if posting allowed us to here the bass!!!

[@logansportmyers]

Fun to watch Jack's left eyebrow through the decades. A unique anatomical metronome.

[@doctorspanky]

I'm listening with $350 Bose noise cancelling headphones and I can hear the base nicely.

[@WolfDaddy420]

I'm listening to this with a pair of $6.99 purple JVC earbuds and I can hear the bass loud and clear as well...✌🏻

[@2468hap]

Amen

[@TheBorjamz]

If this isn't amazing what is soooo fine
