Kaukonen and Casady - Good Shepherd

[@theolamp5312]

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

[@casey451-y1i]

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.

[@stevespringer122]

I was just thinking that these were guys who defined cool 50 years ago.

[@jamesbrent1809]

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

[@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).

[@francoisebrown5766]

Lucky You !! I'm nearly 10 years Younger... We used to Dream about the Music scene of the SF hayDays... I've yet to GO & Visit LA & SF but it shouldn't be long now until I make my way to the West Coast and see all these places I've been meaning to visit !! Santa Fe... and maybe carry on to Mexico

Jack has always been the epitome of cool

[@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!

[@maupinmaupin1472]

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

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.

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

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

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

[@DanielHeikalo]

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

[@gattimyc1952]

Amazing! One of the best band sixties/seventies years

[@donaldgehre5964]

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

[@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.

[@RickNielsen]

What a treat! I love the acoustic electric base!

[@caroleknoles3205]

I remember Jack having a room in his parent’s basement with a fabulous record collection and owning a matching Fiat to his brother’s. He actually had a talent then that was meant to be acknowledged by the music world. Happy for him!

[@daverenick5830]

These guys are true magicians. This is beautiful stuff. Brings back the best acid memories from the 60's.

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 🙏💙

[@PattyAnderson-v8l]

I will never forget you Jorma my 1st live band when I was 14 Hot Tuna!

[@daisywrabbit]

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

[@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.

[@johnmullen6429]

Saw them in in 71 at cowtowon in kc MO. A 19 old kid sitting on the floor. Papa John was with them. It took me decades to realize how lucky I was,

[@StephenDaigle-p4i]

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

[@francoisebrown5766]

I used to listen to the Jefferson Airplane a lot and They were my absolute Favourite Band of the early 70s !! Beautiful Melodies and PowerFull at the same time... their Lyrics combined with their Music were a Good mix for me !! My first LP was Long John Silver... foolishly I gave away all my best albums of the Time

[@francoisebrown5766]

Not to mention the album Sleeve which could be assembled into a Cuban style Cigar box... but it wasn't Tobacco inside... Post the answer here if you happen to know what was inside 😊
