Kaukonen and Casady - Good Shepherd

Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady perform Good Shepherd at LA's Grammy Museum on April 24, 2016

[@theolamp5312]

No matter how old he gets, it seems like Jack will always be the coolest guy on stage.

[@user-eq5fz1iv8d]

Coin toss, come ON

[@ceebee18]

He is so happy to just be present and make and be the music. No ego. A match made in or close to heaven. Like this song.

[@jamesbrent1809]

"If you don't know Jorma, you don't know Jack." Truest saying ever.

[@eileenedwards1086]

Jack has always been the epitome of cool

[@cameronmccreary4758]

Classic early Airplane!!! Two of the best musicians from all generations.

[@budizen3104]

I was lucky enough to be born in and grow up in San Francisco in the late 40s, which made me old enough to participate in and appreciate the music scene of the 60s. I have been playing bass consistently since the late 60s and site Jack Casady as my first influence. I lost count of how many times I have seen him play with the Airplane and its many derivatives. Totally coincidentally, I now play in a guitar and bass duo. Since both of us have back issues, we call ourselves the Broken Back Blues Band, but perhaps a better name might be Cold Lox, as we are both Jewish. Great music from two unbelievable musicians. Inspiring for those of us who are in our 70s and still playing live (I'm 74).

[@andrewgoldbergs4474]

Two music legends doing their finest work together. Duos never grow old..just get better.

[@yvesmenard3383]

Some 3-4 years ago, my son and I drove 400km from Montréal to Waterville, Me, just to hear Jack and Jorma. Didn't regret a single km!

[@thekingofbohemia1]

Jack Casady's eyebrows should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And the Smithsonian.....

[@TheBoxfitter]

The thing that truly makes life worth living, is music.

[@daisywrabbit]

I love you, Jorma, but I can’t keep my eyes off of Jack. 😊♥️

[@cosmicd6337]

These guys will never get old. Just beautiful.

[@brianfergus839]

Nahh… they’re old. Still beautiful though : )

[@maupinmaupin1472]

It is beautiful to still hear these two play after a lifetime of their lovely music.

No better song on a Sunday morning and no better artists to render it.❤

It alway's amazes me HOW MUCH MUSIC THESE GUY'S PRODUCE, with just two instrument's !

[@mikesheridan4071]

Jimi Hendrix wanted Jack to be the bassist in the experience..nuff said!!!

[@johnmiller9521]

Glad to see Jack still enjoys "high brow" music.

[@briankelly7632]

So many years enjoying the music of Jorma and Jack. First saw Hot Tuna in the early 80s. Those were special days. Still see them when I can. Thanks for the music, gentleman.

[@davidhealy7743]

What a treat, love these guys. I wonder if Jorma is still speed skating ?

[@sarasunland775]

@@davidhealy7743 Really? Does Stevie still dance around on stage like she used too? I can say this because I'm 5 weeks older than Stevie! And this is all my generation and youth too!@

[@DanielHeikalo]

Bought the first Hot Tuna record around the same time as my first guitar, 1970. That was a smart move!

[@matthewdagnan3396]

Thanks for the music and memories gents!! Jamming together forever!!

[@petergambaccini7396]

Saw them recently at Carnegie Hall. Still peerless.

[@geo3573]

May a younger generation discover this.

[@KenNorian]

So, so cool.. Love to watch folks who have been playing together for half a century. Amazing.

[@robertbrams2129]

Brovo, our country was upside then Kantner and Grace et. al. were the glue.

[@lisica8458]

60+ years . . . they began playing together in DC in a band called The Triumphs in the late 1950s. www.washingtonpost.com/goingoutguide/music/jorma-kaukonen-is-still-keeping-things-interesting/2015/08/13/861c27be-3c45-11e5-b3ac-8a79bc44e5e2_story.html

[@robertrindler2080]

Saw them many times back in the day, 1969-1972 when I was at university in San Francisco. Happy they are with us still!

[@donaldgehre5964]

I've enjoyed these characters since around '66 and they have always thrilled me. Consummate musicians and people. Amazing, just amazing.

[@gattimyc1952]

Amazing! One of the best band sixties/seventies years

[@williamickes4648]

A couple of years ago I stopped at the Stone Pony in New Jersey and had a look at who was gonna be playing. The bill was full of tribute bands, and there in their midst was Hot Tuna, the original. I couldn't stay in the area long enough to catch them, which I dearly regret, but that memory still brings a smile to my face. You guys are legends, no doubt about it.

[@lefkytheshin]

Probably my favorite JA track.

[@ChuckD59]

Sublime. These guys really have a future in music! (j/k)

[@KevyNova]

Man I love these two guys.

[@pjteves1]

Hot Tuna acoustic at their best!!

[@PaulMcCaffreyfmac]

I could never stand Jorma Kaukonen's electric playing but that first Hot Tuna record really opened my eyes to what a wonderful acoustic player he is. Lovely stuff.

[@edpeters6290]

Changed my life in a way.

[@user-rc2vu9hj6w]

I love you guys I saw y’all live with Papa John Creach back in the day. Absolutely amazing.

[@williammeise8415]

TO EVERYONE ..peace and love

Beautiful days of ole😢 one of my favorites ✌️👌

Wow! Unbelievable. Love the Airplane's psychedelic version as much as life itself.

[@josephtravers777]

I'll never forget Jorma's screaming wah-wah pedal for the rest of my life

[@RickNielsen]

What a treat! I love the acoustic electric base!

He can move to a mariachi band later in the evening with it.

[@sunking1504]

Did you ever here of a guy Paul McCartney I heard hes a great bass player

[@houseofcharm]

Lotta great dead ones also...

[@chrislom5288]

Absolutely and wholeheartedly agree!

[@raybrettman9618]

Both of those guys would admit quite readily and gladly that they will be taking a back seat to Ron Carter. Among others.

[@WarGrrl3]

I've been saying the exact same thing for years. No one can do the things Jack n Phil do on the bass. These guys blow me away. Ive been screaming, TURN UP THE BASS! since my 1st JA album n my 1st GD one.

[@nancyhoffman4563]

I love playing that song. It’s a great harp part. Tampa, Marcus and I played it often. Thank you sirs for the keeping historical music alive 🙏💙

[@MrMarkar1959]

Heavy on my Soul🎸🙏🏼

[@maggieking6619]

Heard them play their magic at Filmore East many times, with nand without the rest of the crew. Love them still. Jack's guitar is twice as big as he is, but still a master.

[@Coastwiser]

I got to sing Happy birthday acapella to David Bromberg in front of these two characters on a night when all three of them were joyfully yeah enhanced.

[@HAL9007]

Best spinoff band EVER. May they play forever..... This song is also the highlight of 'Volunteers'

[@richardkougasian7866]

They sound great. Their voices appear not to have changed much. Still remember buying their burgers (hot tuna) album in glorious analog vinyl. Original LP still in my rack. There is way too much evil in this world. It's tough to cope. The good old days are gone forever. Hate to be such a cynic, but my eyes still see.

Just beautiful

[@plmcrzy6789]

what a great rendition of this song, I was fortunate to see jorma last year at merle fest, awspme performance

[@user-gz6gl5rp4m]

HFT ! Two American treasures !

The size of Jack's bass! Looks like a custom made. Love Jack!

It is. It's Diana 1, named after his deceased wife. There is also a Diane 2 and 3.

[@bassthunder]

@@weezerptooie926 thanks I was wondering about the maker of that bass, as a fan of the acoustic bass over typical electric bass.

The audio is the sound in the room, not from the mixing board.

Not 100% sure but I believe these two guys have been together longer than Mick and Keith. Teir association predates the Airplane.

At the end of a Jrad concert, I was saying that Jack C is THE absolute best bassist. Dave D (Jrad bassist) stopped as he heard me and we wound up talking for half an hour on our love n respect for Jack, being blown away by his unique style n agreeing that he truly is the best. Got lots of Jorma stories as well. Lol

[@lisica8458]

Looks as though Jack needs some support to hold that bass in position.

I think Jack is shrinking😎
