Josh Smith, Kirk Fletcher, Matt Schofield, Eric Gales & JD Simo (Full Show)- 2/14/16 Fishtails

(Filmed by Natasha in 1080 HD)
Josh Smith and Kirk Fletcher performed a free show and invited their friends Matt Schofield, Eric Gales and JD Simo to play on various songs. The lighting was less than ideal and the vocals were very low in the mix, but to hear 5 of the best blues guitarists in the world playing together was an incredible experience. This free show occurred at a small bar called Fishtails in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida and took place the night before the Keeping The Blues Alive Cruise.

Eric Gales never fails to amaze me...sliding classic music into little wing in a so smooth and smart way. Only this guy can do that.

[@tombodfish3045]

Wow! The otherworldly genius of Eric Gales, the technical mastery of Josh Smith and the beautiful subtlety and taste of Matt and Kirk. All on one stage. The perfect Blues jam.

[@chriscastellari2071]

Can almost not compute that Josh Smith swings into a Monk tune with Fletcher and Simo! Blew me away.

[@carlosportillo8790]

[@Esbenmad]

With 10 songs in one and a half hour, you know you are at a blues or jazz concert :-)

[@Seggy75]

Lucky young drummer!!!

[@jhue73]

eric johnson was such a big influence on alot of guitarist with his unique playing and you can hear it in eric gales playing.

[@AriFrello]

Great sound and image quality!!!

[@adrianleiva5884]

Matt - GREAT SOUND.-

[@PBNG70]

That lil wing solo by eric gales is one of the best solos ever, wonder why he wasnt standing up

[@1AnitrasDance]

He was using Matt Schofield's guitar and the strap was in the wrong place since he's a left handed player and Matt's is a right handed guiatr so he wasn't using the strap and just sat and played.

[@PBNG70]

oh ok, thanks

[@chromedealer]

Kirks first solo was 🔥🔥🔥

[@bobbygoodtar]

THE BEST!!!! U R ridiculous!!!!

[@musicalmae]

When I’m sad she comes to me and says take anything you want from it’s alright with a thousands smiles she gets to be free

[@gematria125]

Ooo very nice , I am against three guitars always, but whole group knows their places .

[@joaopauloaboim8320]

Josh Smith is the guy that would have been playing with Miles Davis.

[@WickBeavers]

GIVE THAT RHYTHM SECTION A SHOT!😅😅🎉

[@TheMrFunktastic2]

37:00 ooooh sweet baby james, hold on now!

[@AdamHumburg]

It was amazing to watch the bass player's face as he's moving along on the fly!

[@ronhollander5827]

A dime a dozen

[@musicalmae]

Riding with the wind

[@stephandumont]

That is some tasty stuff!!!

[@jamesamore1433]

Scohfield does it again.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Blissful! 4:17

[@dalezjc]

Awesome video!! The only one missing is Greg Koch.

[@physiciansassist1]

Would be nice to see Philip Sayce up there too

[@alisterjunior1652]

pretty much only one to give E.G a go for his money

[@junkaccount3544]

think sayce would embarrass these guys haha

[@physiciansassist1]

@@alisterjunior1652 true but gales is another animal in terms of style

[@lesselp]

Nick Campbell on bass slays all before him.

[@maddhatter3062]

Anyone know if Matt is related to John Schofiield?

[@francescopuc1985]

Josh and Kirk have very fine style... JD so-so

[@AshRavens]

Great video but how I wish Matt was turned up more during his solos! :(

[@lroyako]

Eric Gales just made Matt"s 60's strat what ever year it is worth like another 10,000$$$$$.... Kirk still my fave but...

[@johnpeterson5354]

What is Josh's guitar effect at 22:28?

[@melkkoe]

Octavia / octaver

[@AriFrello]

You have Instagram Account?

[@1AnitrasDance]

yes

[@ChrisArlesMusic]

please give me the bass player's name !!!

[@1AnitrasDance]

Nick Campbell

[@ChrisArlesMusic]

thank you ! but any details pls ... facebook link or ... ? cheers and thanks for your great works for the musicians ! much appreciated. blessings.

[@ChrisArlesMusic]

just found him ;) sorry and thanks again !

[@abzoluut4084]

@31:50 he works up to an E-minor variant. Does anyone know which chords he plays? He slides up, so I assume it's the same chord before he hits that E-minor.

[@benmtz]

Great gig! Would have deserved a better sound quality maybe tho

[@semilivesixstringstrumist5595]

When did blues become boogie woogie?

[@olivierjung913]

Little Wing is boogie woogie ? OK???

[@asdfghjkldfghjhgcgyuigfyui9792]

boogie woogie is a type of blues

[@BillyGates1721]

it did start when atists feelt free to EVOLVE music. Imagine a lot of people whould have commented in a even worse way just right before your favorite style of bluesmusic was created for the first time. Your favorite stile of blues simply wouldn't EXIST. So my point of view is: you are always free to PERSONAL comment on anything. But NEVER judge in a general way like you did in your above comment. Enjoy your favorite blues maybe it makes you more satisfied to let co-exist other musicstyles.

[@jonnybeck6723]

All those great licks but the equally great vocals seem to disappear... In my book, and I may be alone here, the vocals should be number 1 Thanx Natasha and cheers

[@1AnitrasDance]

It was an impromptu gig at a tiny bar that didn't have a proper sound system so unfortunately the mix is not good.

[@albundy643]

I am sure these are all GREAT guitar players, but I don't enjoy it when all these flashy jazz runs are put in the solo's. I enjoy simple blues in the vain of the late great Mr B.B King.

[@supmet2]

Why do so many blues players have trouble trading 4 bar phrases? I don't get it as talented as all of these guys are...

[@davidMsargeant]

One guitar too many for me.

[@londonuk70]

Sorry Josh and Kirk, but in my humble opinion, Eric is WAY BETTER player -with all my respect for you- and I'm not saying that you´re not good, it´s just that you can see and feel the passion that Eric has. Just saying. Peace and good work Eric, Keep on playing man, and may God be with you.

[@JohnDoe-sz3lz]

FUUUUUUCK THE LICKS ARE TOO TASTY

[@cidertom5140]

The bass player should concentrate on playing instead of being weird as.

[@ronnyrono782]

Too many guitars. Their all great but there's just too many.

[@tonilehmann3381]

Boring

[@BillyGates1721]

so you simply have chosen the wrong video to watch. What's you musicstile you find holy-shit-freakin-exciting?
