Larry Carlton - Emotions wound us so (live Last Nite album)

[@dennisjohndreher7258]

This song ranks right up there with Jeff Beck - Cause we've ended as lovers and Shawn Lanes - Epilogue for Lisa. Beautiful tone and touch.

[@rickylewis219]

This is the kind of music we need to bring the world together

[@dwebster50]

I like that comment Rick . Just think how many years this gentleman has made music for many ensembles. His creations , everyone should hear. On a other note, it’s quite a different sound Larry gets here. I noticed he plucks the guitar string on the up movement of his plectrum. So so creative beauty😍🇨🇦🇺🇸

[@stevespayde7469]

The timeless master of tone,touch,taste,and timing----and still doing it.

[@2tommyrad]

After decades of listening to Larry, this song still brings tears to my eyes. Larry is a musical treasure.

[@klaseldh]

indeed a real treasure 🤩

[@BraulioCarballo98]

You’re not alone I stumbled upon this and it brought tears to my eyes. Larry Carlton is such an inspiration! His Passion and Love for Music really shines through his playing!

[@MrSembastian]

If there could only be one guitar piece, it would be this one!

[@hoopsmccann4834]

This is an absolute masterpiece.

[@pleinclosens8304]

amazing tone control wtf!

[@vampiroangelico]

Back in 1987, when I was infatuated with speed demons like Scott Henderson, Bill Connors, Edward Van Halen, Ynwgie Malmsteen, Allan Holdsworth (but I still had David Gilmour and Steve Hackett in my heart), this song proved me, once again, that you do not have to be a shredder at all, to be able to express yourself articulately and profoundly on your instrument.

[@jadipeperzak4034]

vampiroangelico Larry carlton is quite the speed demon too.. But he chooses to slow it down instead of shredding.. Well.. Most of the time..

[@nohaste4me]

On the contrary.... speed is often related to provin yourself while real talent is about expressing yourself on your instrument...

[@vampiroangelico]

@@nohaste4me I like that, makes perfect sense!

[@nathanwalters2856]

I had this on cassette and bought it to hear the bass player Abraham Laboriel, but was blown away instead by the guitar playing of Larry Carlton ❤

[@jonpitt8504]

It's difficult to add to the comments already made, but this is just about the most heart-wrenching piece of guitar playing I've ever heard. Only two people on earth can do this ...... and that's Larry and Jeff (Beck). The two most complete masters of electric guitar there have ever been.

[@hoospie]

Just what I was thinking!

[@catboyzee]

Agreed. Total control and mastery of dynamics and feel, no easy feat.

[@rosa5404]

Stevie Ray Vaughn's Riviera paradise!!!

[@MichaelCrutcher]

@@rosa5404 not even close to Larry.

[@jeffhubbard9951]

In terms of feel, if not melodicism, Mike Landau can do that sort of buttery tone and heart stopping vibrato thing on a level easily comparable to Carlton. He can also go completely the other side of the spectrum and make the guitar sound like a feral, angry animal like almost no player I've ever heard. Regardless, there's no point debating this; I was a huge Carlton fan back in high school, and I know his playing as well as anyone's. I can still play both Kid Charlemagne solos note for note. I'm just not as into light fusion as I used to be, so his solo stuff isn't generally my thing. Except for Don't Give It Up. I'll always dig that tune!

[@jeffygmusic]

nobody but no-one's sounds ,accents like L.Carlton...!!great player!!

[@jessebaird5053]

Sometimes I listen to this performance half the night. Nothing else has quite the emotion..

[@sheercerebralpower]

This is beauty in guitar….

[@kleena88]

I think this is the most beautiful song I've ever heard in all my 45 years

[@klaseldh]

Still get my armhairs to get raised also when listen to this 😍🤩

[@catboyzee]

How LC is able to make any guitar just sing and sustain is just flat out amazing. His tone and touch has such a vocal/singer's character to it. He's one of my fave guitarists all-time...

[@mortachi8816]

I've heard him play this song a thousand times in different shows, but this is by far the best. This night was magic.

[@jamflu]

Larry has many great albums but this live album defines him. It is the most soulful guitar work I have ever heard. I toured the east coast with nothing in the CD player but this CD and was never discouraged or left wanting.

[@tselfe11]

Simply one the best tones ever. Larry s magic fingers and dumble amp are fantastic together.

[@aumkar2]

Masterpiece! As everyone has already said. Larry is one of the best to ever do it.

[@mrguitarwho7141]

this album is still one of my favorites.what a delight to see video!

[@chuchunichichi]

I personally believe that in this piece, we just saw how a true master plays the instrument: with absolute tonal command, that less can be more, that it is not the instrument but the player that counts, and that the composition is the canvass with which to paint a rich blend of texture, feel, balance and grace.

[@christopherjbutler]

2:05 in this song.. Holy shit, still kills me...

[@got2bharmony]

In my eyes Larry is a God, and IMHO he has never been better than at this time. There are and have been many gifted wonderful musicians and Larry is right up there with the best. His timing, feel, creativity and technical ability are exquisite. I don't cry easily, but this piece brings tears to my eyes every time, pure genius. Young guitarists with talent should study this man carefully, this is what they should aspire to. Those of us less gifted can only admire.

[@fingerstylefan]

I bought this video about 10 years ago watched numerous times and alot of it is still over my head. His control of feedback is impeccable.

[@1ShelbyLover1]

I was in attendance at The Baked Potato on the night this was recorded. The song gives me goosebumps every time I hear it...especially the sustained note around 2:14 and the notes that follow. But the entire song is priceless. I believe on the CD version you can hear the friend I went with yell "Yeah!" at the end of the song. I remember that the cover charge was a little higher than usual (I believe it was $20 instead of the usual $10-$15). Someone a the front door questioned the higher than usual cover charge. The guy collecting the money simply smiled, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's Larry Carlton." A cleaner, longer, audio-only version is also posted on YT

[@tunicana]

no doubt larry carlton is one of the best guitarist in the world

[@mikelight2008]

What an artist! He truly has made his instrument a portal, a window, to his soul and his feelings. Wow. He expresses how he feels and what he wants us to know so well, so articulately, so clearly.

[@carltosten7875]

After hearing the album, Last Nite, I was an instant fan. My guitar playing took a quantum leap forward.

[@sambochen2010]

I've been listening to Last Nite for over 30 yrs... and finally stumbled on this video here on YT to see how his fingers are creating these otherworldly sustains, harmonics, and controlled feedback. All played with eyes closed. I've seen LC over 10x in concert and this song is always the highlight for me, usually reserved for the encore or last part of set list. This is one of the most emotional and gut-wrenching songs and performances by LC in my book. Timeless and always heartbreaking!

[@1ShelbyLover1]

Your description is perfect.

[@Arsene1]

"This is one of the most emotional and gut-wrenching songs and performances by LC in my book" Yes with this one also kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4bRkJtmfN2kq7M Spring by Michel Colombier, Larry Carlton, Jaco Pastorius

[@Odexsblues]

Mzz u Larry...

[@danielbenoit9736]

Best of Larry

[@humbleoverdrive]

This makes me almost cry. Beautiful song and killer tone and playing. Simply the best!

[@petergedd9330]

What a gift

[@davidliu8088]

Amazing!Those harmonics,feedbacks......kill me!

[@ssvr]

Hard to understand how someone can dislike this.... this is pure gold... like someone said, he lives every note!

[@supercooled]

Such a quintessential 80's song. You don't need to see the haircut, the clothing or the muted colours of this video, you just know it's 80's from the sound and it's fabulous. Imagine if Bon Jovi actually made an instrumental record or 10.

[@happyguitar1]

I could listen to this piece a thousand times and never get tired of it. Played with such passion! Long Live Larry Carlton!!!

[@rpavich]

Absolutely the best rock/jazz guitar piece ever performed. Period.

[@jormayorccis1028]

LC at his best.

[@jfree336]

No one uses their amp as an instrument like Larry. Listen to how he controls the amps feed back. Pure brilliance.

[@danboyguitar94]

2 dislikes!!! :( how can you dislike something that has so much soul and warmth put into it?

[@pascaljeanne6520]

oh man ...what can we play after ...

[@thisaudientlife5425]

Magnificent playing!

[@juliusdunn3794]

Adorable

[@BobandBear1]

Superlative guitar. Man and guitar as one entity.Beautiful !

[@manguera9]

the interpretation of this song is outstanding ,Larry is the only guitar player that play ballads with a lot of heart..

[@tsimakis100]

This song takes me back to a girl I knew. Tracy Streblo in ohio. We hit it off on day 1. Took as many classes together as we could just to be with each other. All of our professors knew we were a thing. We spoke words without a sound. This song is what I felt with her. Often wonder where she is, how's she doing. Tracy, if your out there, this is Tom from Jeff Tech, remember?😅❤❤

[@michaelguernsey9494]

Go online and look for her. She might be wondering the same thing!

[@damainmang6362]

Larry Carlton, master of the guitar and 80s Century 21 Jackets

[@carlosadail]

Larry é sensacional. Um solo épico, um show de harmônicos, feedbacks e pedal de volume. Uma verdadeira aula. Prova que nem sempre velocidade é sinônimo de virtuosismo.

[@CL6120]

I bought a cass. tape of this in 1990, always loved this song. WHAT A TREAT it is to see the video of this beautiful song. THANKS SO MUCH.

[@GuiitarBilly]

Agree about the lyricism and beauty in this performance. Larry becomes one with his instrument and uses it's nuances to create a beautiful, emotional 'voice' for a this ballad. Jeff Beck comes from a very different musical place, but does similar wonderful things with ballads. They're about the only two guys who can rouch this type of stuff, this way. All melody, magic and nuance- no flash. Jeff still records melodic ballads. .Wish Larry would. again. This song is decades old- and wonderful.

[@dimevh84]

seriously? dude, the whole thing is beauty defined, larry's a total monster, everything I've heard him play is sublime!

[@jarmtl]

Maestro!

[@samscott54]

so wonderful

[@happyguitar1]

This piece makes me cry! I feel every note, love it! So much passion and Anointed!!!

[@funklover24]

Beautiful, just beautiful. The whole band is amazing. John Robinson is phantastic on drums.

[@LorneHemmerling]

I have taught guitar for close to 20 yrs. You can't teach soul like that to anyone, The man lives every note, same as Jeff Beck.

[@sleekgeek]

I've been searching all year for music to study to.. ive gone through classical, baroque, jazz, commercial music, dubstep.. you name it - but I think Larry is the best yet

[@Morongobill]

The definitive version, my only regret is they clipped the ending.

[@kleena88]

I've played this song over and over and over again every single day since I first heard it and I never get tired of it. It's so beautiful It's touching.

[@rwlane]

So beautiful. I got the tutorial video on vhs about 30 years age to which this plays over the end credits. I realised then that Larry is easily the best guitar player who ever lived. I was aiming to improve the technical side of my playing, but he made me see that it doesn’t matter. Never seen a guitarist with a more natural feel. Slow or fast.

[@geetarnut]

This is the actual recording that was used on the "Last nite" album, and, the instructional video! Thanks for posting this! I worked on this song, and I have a video that I did sort of bleding Larrys instructional lesson and my own solo. Larrys the greatest! Thanks again!!!

[@ChrisEkstedt]

One of the most beautiful things ever written...rocks me to sleep many nights...

[@hoospie]

It is just BEYOND BELIEF that the filmmaker rolled credits over this song. What a bozo.

[@EZblueboy]

Hey man I just cried big time.. my dad past away in 88.. The record was just released in Holland (EU), I just couldn't stop listen and cry to this song, you know what I mean.. Peace

[@humbleoverdrive]

Can the seven people who don't like this please step forward!

[@lenapaco]

What a genius this guy is. I thought that Carlos Santana and Eric Clapton were the masters of the guitar but now i know this guy, well what can i say. Thanks to you tube i found something amazing today.

[@kevinmanns7170]

Only Jeff Beck gets anywhere close to Larry. Clapton? Santana? Great players, but NOT in the same league.

[@patlesage1256]

Awsome title, his way of playing these notes so sweet with harmonics, volume pedal...This melody is so fantastic...here the guitar is the man...this version is just legendary...

[@reginaldlaville8094]

I first heard this song over twenty years ago and it still one of the most beautiful guitar song i have ever heard.

[@TheHybridSlinky]

What a beautiful touch! Stunning.....just stunning!

[@kaqs8994]

rocks me awake, too....sideways and through my heart. oh my. goodness and mercy. play it!

[@realneatguy]

This is the song that made Larry C my fav guitar player of all time.

[@darthbert]

This piece is my all time favorite. When I first heard it 18 years ago, I almost cried.

[@exmusicascientia]

You described it vividly, Dokdude! Larry Carlton winds us up to unmatched music!

[@futsal1958]

Really brings it home here.

[@juanjocuenca9315]

If you watch the video and match it to the title you can see the "feeling" pouring through this fantastic performance of Larry and the band that goes along.

[@RixGuitar]

Wonderful feeling from the heart!!

[@ccalculus]

Unbelievably gorgeous...

[@MrTonedeff]

This is one of a few songs that mean something very special! Thanks Larry and it was great to meet you, before the show, at Crook & Chase in Nashville! Hey we tried to catch you at The Baked Potato, in North Hollywood, but you weren’t there that night! Your friend, Tony Goodman

[@genefowler5799]

A true masterpiece by a true master

[@mortenmortensen4156]

This is just so beautiful

[@manguera9]

BEST PERFOMING BALLAD SONG IN GUITAR IN THE WORLD TO THIS DAY,HEART,HEART HEART, HE AND CARLOS SANTANA . lARRY CHANGED THE INTERPRETATION JAZZ POP BALLAD STYLE in the elct guitar, after he left Crusaders and all the guitarsplayers in the world followed him.

[@etunetrb]

[@MrBrushie]

[@80three57]

Please upload the whole Star Licks video!!

[@rameus779255]

..at the end of one of these sets some guy walks by and says, 'hey Larry, let me bum a cigarette'. Without blinking, Larry says sure and hands him his box of Marlboro reds. We were sitting less than 4 feet from Larry for all 4 sets of this.

[@brianmi40]

Picked this out note for note and used to get a pretty good bloom from an old Peavey amp I had, awesome piece to play. Wish I could afford a Dumble amp!
