[@dm919]

@3:05 when Joe looks at Eric and says 'That's bad-ass!' ... As a musician, it's hard to fathom that someone like Joe can be influenced/impressed by ANYONE, yet here we are.

[@boyermatthews2177]

@7:48 for me, this is one of the best blues-rock shred phrases I've ever heard and the squeal to end was PERFECT. Eric always seems like he's wrestling with the guitar, trying to push himself each time. Sometimes it works to perfection, sometimes not, but when it does it's something to behold. He's always raising the bar.

[@thequixoticangler3364]

4:47-5:14 is insane.

5:45 transition to harmonic minor from blues was absolutely stunning.

[@TheoSalvatore]

It's Phrygian, sounds very similar to harmonic minor though.

[@yockinnottou]

@@TheoSalvatore it’s Phrygian dominant. So it’s a mode of harmonic minor.

[@batmandeltaforce]

The raised third is a natural in the Phrygian Mode... nothing different about it. Don't make it unnecessarily complicated:) Joe is sticking with more with the minor pentatonic... but that is what makes it so universal:)

The whole world is in love with this! Thank you, Joe and Eric !!!!!

[@porkbelly0713]

I told Eric about Joe in 2008 in Memphis when son and I were helping him with his early website, he had never heard of Joe. So I had a vision that one day they would get together on the same stage and maybe also in the studio, 13 years later it has come to pass. Eric's new release will be out later this year, probably last quarter. It is produced by Joe and he guests on some of the songs. I can't wait for it but I will wait for it, should be epic

[@Achromania]

The world needs more of this.

[@kexmanable]

Joe is such an extraordinary genius. Listen to how he adapted his playing to Eric's. Every show he does this. Such a master of styles and technique.

[@matthewhorizon6050]

Yeah, Joe was playing to the style of Eric, for the most part. Its nuts, because I've heard Gales do the same shit to other top of the heap players (Josh Smith, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, etc but never saw someone do it to him. Kudos to Joe! But @7:47, Gales strings together one of the nastiest 15secs licks I've ever heard. Either way we view this, its a full blown masterpiece of the highest level. Joe really brought his A-game here and so did Gales. Were all so lucky to have seen this. Edit: plus, hes playing in a phrygian mode, so as long as Joe's somewhat dialed in on the position it makes it much easier than many think. So a top tier pro can pull off shit like that. Joe is a hell of a musician, either way.

[@scottjames1401]

Heads got cut. Ours.

[@screamindeacon]

​@@garrettnorthrup the true mark of genuis or virtuoso, the mind disengaged, and the body takes over. He just *knows* what to do. The ultimate "feel it, not.think it."

[@williamrobison340]

As great as the performance is (and it is stunningly good), what makes this so much fun to watch is how much Eric and Joe enjoy each other's playing.

[@andymccallum8090]

Like my dad says when he hears fast guitar playing." Hes doing a malmsteen" hahah

[@matthewhorizon6050]

Theres phrasing though here.

[@andymccallum8090]

@@matthewhorizon6050 I'm a blues man but I hate when people have to put down virtuoso players like him. Nowadays I would agree with you but his early stuff was brilliant and had amazing phrasing.

[@matthewhorizon6050]

@@andymccallum8090 I wasnt sure what the tone of your was, it seemed to exude negative connotations. I guess that's conjecture and my interpretation. Personally, i always found Yngwie's playing boring as hell. He developed a technique that is impressive in some sense, but hes the ultimate dichotomy, because it's an unappealing sound. I'm familier w his early work but found it generic, w the typical Malmsteen-shit. Guys like Goven or Gilbert are far more impressive. I too, am a blues guy, at least that's the origin of my playing. Been playing over 30 yrs and a fan for longer. To each their own.

[@BUNKERJR53]

Malmsteen can't hold a candle to these two. All he plays is the same shit. Fast for the sake of being fast with no feeling. No heart!!!!

[@andymccallum8090]

@@BUNKERJR53 there is some truth to that. But hes a legend nonetheless and his influence is undeniable. I enjoy only this very early work.

[@thetruth6872]

I’ve never heard joe go full out like this. I guess it took him finally coming up against someone at his skill level. It’s nice to see what he’s really capable of every once in a while.

[@79thstreetsoundstage]

I've been fortunate to see Joe cut heads with many players over the years. He always has another gear if needed. Eric is one of the few that can truly hang with him. I saw him trade licks on acoustic with Monty Montgomery who believe it or not can shred blues if necessary. He not only surprised me but Joe had a wow moment.

[@adam-yk6yd]

Eric’a lick at 7:57 is everything I am this whole “guitar” thing for

[@peterphilbrick]

Joe at the end, "it doesn't get any better than that"... Very true, it does NOT get any better than that. Amazing performance and shredding!

[@LyonByTheSea]

There aren't enough thumbs up to give this performance what it deserves! There are my guys! Frampton is the cause of my music taste plug in play loud! I found Joe a few years ago and my soul jumped! There is actually music from my childhood being made TODAY!!!! WISH I'd found Joe so many many years ago! I felt like i was in desert for many years music wise!

[@pelledr3824]

[@thefriendlyranger5718]

Eric in this performance makes me think of what might have been if Hendrix had gone on to play with the Mahavishnu Orchestra. His lick at 7:13 was so musical and yet so absolutely ripping at the same time. Of course, Joe smoked as well. My favorite Joe moments are 5:45 - 5:55 and 6:24 - 6:51. It's fun to watch people play fast but it's really special to watch them let go and let the music take them to different places.

[@M._Lou]

Joe, please bring Eric with you for your concert in Detroit this fall. You are BOTH totally phenomenal! Signed, Can’t Wait !!!!!

[@Kenji.1ChessPiece]

My sweet lord Jesus Christ! INFREAKINSANE guitar solo “duel”/jam! This will go down as one of the best! Joe is my all-time fave Blues-Rock guitarist, and Eric Gales is up there too on my top heroes, and this performance is my fave from them by far. I had a chance to watch Joe live in Manila in 2012, and it’s my fave concert so far. When Joe was about to leave the venue, I jumped the fence (with the other fans) to have a photo with him taken by the official event photographer who promised he would send us a copy of the pics but he never did! (I hope he sees this and sends us a copy) I was wearing a Dream Theater t-shirt and Joe noticed and said, “Cool shirt, great taste in music.” I flashed a big smile and we shook hands! Definitely my fave moment! Much love and respect to Joe, Eric, and all the Blues greats and players! 💯🔥🎸❤️
