9/2023: Wonderful. Jorma is a part of living history. A great musician and an innovative far better guitar player then his is given credit for. I know that this is an Old video, but thank you for posting this concert by one of The Greats. Best Regards To All

[@jimkauchak9041]

This was originally a Hot Tuna scheduled date, however they parted ways about three weeks before this date. Jorma stepped up and played the show solo. The footage shows only two hours, but he played five hours that night. Typical Tuna show ran 3- 5 hours.

[@ronlevon5313]

+Jim Kauchak ---must have been early show---your right late shows always went four plus as everyone was tripping as was jorma and then he would announce time to drop a quaalude as the show winded down at five am--talk about hardest working men in rock and roll well these guys were musical junkies and each nite would play hours as if to fix but how would he remember what songs were played and my god those fingers picking two shows on acoustic man he was truly one of a kind we never will see again and still going amazingly at 75 thank god he got straigtht and found spirituality as i heard he actually converted to judaism although he is named jorma kaudonen jr-lol-ronny

[@mrghin22]

+ron levon Very nice comment Ron, but it's hard to read without any periods or comma's...I have never heard of Jorma until yesterday, Jan 2nd, but I can't stop listening to him...

[@karenelizabeth8404]

+Jim Kauchak - That's right. I was there. The theater staff tried to get us all out after about 4 hrs but Jorma kept on play ing and of course no one left...... :-)

[@circe801]

+ron levon o, but for the good ol' days... i remember walking into the palladium while it was still light out--for early show--and emerging after late show into the dawn--having entirely missed the moon...

[@2cozmick25]

This guy righthere could play a guitar like a ringin a bell, seriously. One of my favorite lps is hot tuna double dose for those that don't know its a double lp with one full acustic and one electric and he gives ya a full range of his ability. Yea, here sits a very underated nearly unknown. Thanks for posting

[@circe801]

man, i remember this show so well and how great that phase shifter sounds when you're tripping... :)

[@jayclancy4047]

Hilarious... I was thinking the same thing.... I remember a , pink hair show at, Belmont Race Track.... I had that thing whirrring in my head for, 2 or 3 days.....

[@gregorysullivan4554]

..I caught this amazing show at the Paradise in Boston,how refreshing Jormas playing was,and still very much is today...

[@joemilitello6642]

This is Jorma at his best..............

[@habeconlon291]

First year Jorma went solo, before White Gland come around, haha. A gem in the world of music no doubt. Thanks for keeping these old Capitol Theatre tapes alive, and putting them up so they can continue to be appreciated.

[@davidblockburger6096]

Was in the 1st row 😊 I was 19 years old ❤

[@gwebocelestron9194]

Watched Jorma play solo in some bar in Rochester NY in either '81 or '82. Mezmerizing. It was awesome.

[@anthonycongiunti4421]

Been there a few times in the 70S and yes tripping my ass off many good times never got to see Jorma Man he's so FUCKIN GREAT!!!! Happy 80th birthday bro

[@Exakta66]

Oh yeah, I believe this is the concert I saw...I know I was still in high school, but I drove there, so it had to be '78 or '79...and we had seven people in the car, that I recall...but it was my mother's 1966 Chrysler Newport, so it wasn't too bad...but yeah, he did the acoustic and then electric thing...

[@erasmusomnius]

Jorma, What a genuine gift of an artist to us all, IMHO. When you get he and Jack together, it is of course pure heaven, on another plane. Heavenly even without Jack, if that is possible, as these old videos show. I'll take acoustic Tuna anyday of the week.

[@seba3663]

This is such a jem! One of my favorite guitarist, thanks for the upload

[@garydion3488]

Can't remember if I've thanked you before, so I'll do it again - THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS CONCERT VIDEO! I've watched nearly everything there is of Jorma, HT, JA, etc. out on the internet. And been seeing him/them for most of my life. Jorma's streaming concerts including #11 last night (6/13/20) are great! But this is mesmerizing! 1979 as well. Yes, not perfect sound or video. Doesn't matter. Watching him play and sing (his whole being into it), the songs and how he made them sound. Transports me to another place/time. Just fabulous!

[@JamesFolkers]

Beautiful!! Thanks for posting this masterpiece.

[@adele7904]

Even the tuning is fantastic!

[@timtim36457]

…. saw the shows in Boston and on 14th street that week. thanks!

[@fordgt8847]

Saw Jorma at the Capitol Theater too with his Psychadelic light show March 27th, 1982. Still have ticket stub. ($9.50!). Love Jorma!! Thanks for posting this!

[@superfuzzymomma]

The Church Dam I think that was one I saw too....Did Rick Danko Open?

[@fordgt8847]

No I really don't remember...Lol!! ..just too long ago. I saw him one more time in a little bar in Bergenfield NJ back in 94. That was cool performance too!

[@Guitarista129]

+superfuzzymomma Dr John and Rick Danko. I was with the Quasar Light Show that nite!

[@fordgt8847]

Actually Yes ... it was Dr. John that opened for Jorma in 82'

[@circe801]

+The “Sunrise” Church that used to be the electric circus!!!

[@vitocutrone9201]

[@miorodriguez787]

[@ricksager6935]

thanks for posting this

[@Leisnash]

Thank you!

[@bighupp3081]

thank you

[@dreamwell2020]

No - that phase-shifted Ovation guitar sound had nothing whatsoever to do, I'm sure, with how absolutely fantastic it sounds when you're tripping your brains out.

[@danosullivan7239]

Right on!!😜

[@hottuna12341]

dam we had #1 row to the right, was going to be a hot tuna show they were done for a few years, still a sell out show.didnt thing i every see this, utube the best,!! thanks for posting this,,,

[@1dawnf]

david i want to understand and im the typo queen so im not being mean one sentence makes no sense from still a sell out show.........then youtube the best. so the in between not that much.. but its important ,did you go? or not go? was it good? could you not see anything?? not sure its a month since you were here so i may never know i suspect..

[@hottuna12341]

we had 1st row very right side . i was 18 years old.jorma solo that whole tour,

[@1dawnf]

very cool!!! that was totally worth it!!

[@vasilioskosman2789]

3 ovations, 2 Guitars, 1 standing!

[@brianht1434]

His MartinJ59 definitely the best!

[@lizstruzik2354]

Oh. My. God.

[@petehouskeeper4196]

Jorma did the electric show at the palladium i think the same week. It was jorma, bob steeler and nick buck. No bass. It was the hot tuna electric band without jack. It was loud and rampage. Prob the last real rampage show

[@hvymettle]

If you don't know Jorma then you don't know Jack.

[@Evan-hs4vd]

Great show but the song times listed are not accurate unfortunately, I think they are all one song behind.

[@william7836]

Nice of them to float the dead, tuning up! or is that on my end?

[@Stonerchix33.]

What a cool cat Jorma is

[@chuckcookus]

Love Bark on Grunt

[@chevalasco]

Excelent tape (sounds very good, after all... Pity for the synch: a light delay beetwen audio and video). Jorma immense musician. Magic atmosphere.

[@lesizmor9079]

Massimo--- As far as the recording goes, only the guitar sounds good here; the voice is almost lost completely. How is it you think this is an excellent tape?

[@scottballin3798]

my old cassette tape finally died__ could you maybe please source / post Jorma _ Irvine, Calif __ 1978 ? it is the best psychedelic Jorma.

[@painterphilippe]

Irvine Auditorium, maybe? Univ of Penn -- date was 11-11-78, great great show?? Just a possibility if it's a mislabel?

[@phonepole1104]

​@painterphilippe I was at that U Penn show in '78, I'll never forget Jorma shout out to the crowd, "What's that I hear, whippets?" Yes, it was! Great show, it would mean the world to me to hear a recording of it,

[@lodewijkkaanders9963]

I real like to know what song he starts off with its awesome!

[@carolynnangle4492]

keep your lamps trimmed and burning

[@lodewijkkaanders9963]

+Carolynn Angle thanks but haha already got it haha. But still thank you Haha!

[@carolynnangle4492]

+loek Kaanders glad you found it, I didn't want to watch you hanging without an answer.

[@davecacela7473]

Jorma enters at 2:55

[@publicdomain1103]

Bruce Cockburn like with out the depth and breadth. Cant be all on all the time.

[@tommyoneill2958]

Mqq

[@gregpope8373]

Walked out on this in Columbus, OH expecting the rockin' Tuna

[@jamesmalave5085]

What a dick walked out of 1 of Jormas best

[@tedrosner5849]

His loss, 😉

[@lastnamefirst4035]

I wish jack and jorma would play more rockn and electric these days but all I can find is laid back acoustic. We may be old but some of us still like electricity

[@lesizmor9079]

This video is very weak: voice is nearly imperceptible in the mix, and the visual is grainy, blurry, and washed out. 3 1/2 minutes of nothing but stage crew at the start-- easily edited out if Jam&Psych cared to take 1 more minute of their time. And Jorma? This concert does NOT show his good talent. The exact same basic playing style for 2 hours; songs are boring; he is NOT a good singer and that is on display here, if you can make it out in this poor mix. I was a big JeffAir fan back then, and Jorma had moments of brilliance then. This however is Thumbs Down.

[@HyperSonic707]

You're thumbs down

[@tedrosner5849]

Just another Keyboard Warrior!

[@johnmcgowan770]

Russel Green Poor mix.Try pulling your head out of your ass.It sounds much better than you think.As for JA,they had already become dated by 1972 and Jorma knew it,that's why he and Jack left

[@rayfrazier8657]

Jorma was the music of the Airplane. the video isn't weak the person who wrote that comment is weak & knows very little about music.

[@johnmcgowan770]

ray frazier Amen to that
