[@mantra3000]

Eternal respect for a guy that breaks a string on the first fucking song. Absolutely zero bullshit in the whole set. It's incredibly invigorating.

He came to my town in a small theater that there's a movie history class held in. It was $12 to see him play along improv'd to a silent film. He was the score for the night. Insane.

[@ecetheplatypus]

that sounds awesome!

[@jimmycommitte3046]

He still does this for anyone interested. it's an experience, to be sure and still has the tiny price tag.

[@doctorauxiliary]

was it a buster keaton/fatty arbuckle movie? if so, I saw the same thing, here in LA, outdoors, in beanbag chairs, FOR FREE!! all things marc ribot are ever stellar!! (free or not.)

[@halaman9500]

Nice

[@hondjehier4429]

Marc is 100% dedicated to his art.

One of the most underrated guitar players of all time. Def in my top 5.

[@alansmith8264]

MOST DEFINATELY. SO MUCH GREAT STUFF. YOU KNOW WHY ? HE DOES NOT GIVE A FUCK . IT 'S ALL ABOUT THE SONIC AND MUSIC. PERIOD

[@theredbearcat393]

sort of

[@letmegoletmego]

Not underated in this tree! Derek Bailey.

[@jeffriley2218]

José Sarmiento Hinojosa He is a monster for sure, i have seen him about 15 times in various ensembles... always pushing things further. Try to see him when he does a residency stint as a Performer. The Zorn residences are always crazy and impressive.

[@christianbarthold853]

not underrated, no. Marc is maybe my biggest influence when it's about playing "percussive" guitar.

[@KarklinPumpkin]

Marc Ribot is quickly becoming my favorite guitar player. After years of listening to everything guitar, then slipping into a tom waits wormhole, it has narrowed things down to most creative and I'm thinking this takes the cake for me

[@madsbrandt598]

Welcome!

[@pena.3302]

Someone left a 🍰 outintherain go hungry ketosis 😮.slim.

[@Jimmy1982Playlists]

Marc should've been recognized among the great guitarists of all time long ago.

[@glueball9511]

Never seen a person that looks like their instrument. Guy with the longhorn is killing it

[@franciscomendez8863]

0:55 Red Bully 7:10 Lies My Body Told Me 13:30 Your Turn (" we couldn't explain it to ourselves") 21:08 You are my personal Nancy Spungen

[@wemustbecomemachines2012]

one of my fave guitarists since I first heard him with Tom Waits

[@zaneridings3789]

That was my intro to him. Amazing guitartist and awesome musical projects. A true musician.

[@samner9215]

Same

[@jcolorful9815]

Pure fire gold genius . Marc shreds space metal jazz from the beyond future and channels it thru his mind into his fingers onto that ragged ancient spaceship guitar.. holy moly, my music brain is blown away !!!

[@nojuanatall3281]

Mark gives guitarist like myself hope. I love to play weird out side of the box riffs. Thank you guys.

[@PelleKuipers]

I want that drummer in my life! Jesus his sound is so nice and his patterns are really cool.

[@faunoram]

from the first note Marc blasts out of his guitar you cant stop watching !! avant garde can rock too !! only on KEXP !!

[@jeffriley2218]

ramiro martinez... incredible shit... !

[@FossilFishy]

Damn. I love how it's zero to "there goes Pluto in the rearview" from the first note. Skill and passion and experience gets you there with no windup. Great stuff.

[@jeffriley2218]

Fossil Fishy... brilliant, you are a wordsmith

[@hondjehier4429]

Warp speed, Mr Sulu!

[@stevenmarcato]

Marc Ribot is one of the most talented musicians around.

[@MarcGanancias]

Breaking all the rules in the most fantastically brilliant way imaginable.

[@TheCcmarine]

Amazing to see musicians playing with so much passion and love for the music

[@RyanSmith-pf7ci]

I just listened to this 5 times in a row. Crazy good!

[@owlsonik37]

His guitar tone is hypnotic! 🔥❤️

[@mariusgoddert2502]

The drummer is killing it soooo bad

[@trklsswndr]

Wow Wow Wow!!! Always loved Ribot's playing but - Dang, this really captures his pure unadulterated expressiveness + genius: the Hendrix of avant-skronk! Brilliant!

[@jeffriley2218]

trklsswndr ...totally monster chops...true master of creative madness..!

[@Meth0rst1]

Gonna get me a piece of toast because this is my fucking jam

[@trevscribbles]

Delightful comment.

[@guitashamilele]

That comment goes great with your George profile pic

[@paulbates4100]

Thank existence for a channel like KEXP and musicians like Ceramic Dog. Much love to you both x

[@sevennationarmy.rockband]

Marc Ribot is the best guitarist ever !!!

[@serhuey]

Wow. I've seen this video more than 10 times. Each time I had a fantastic experience, tap my legs and shake my head. Love these guys from the first demo record. I think, the most important band in the 21st century for me. Thank you!

[@4131-y8z]

this is every genius concept ever to have been improvised in a garage mixed into 25 minutes. Raw, excellent , passionate , can't think of a word to descibe this magnum opus of a performance.

[@thedoobiesistersandsackbla5718]

this is the first ive heard or seen these cats. annie clark recommended him HIGHLY. geeeeez......thanks Annie. holy shitoli..................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is great.

[@davidbelmont9784]

Love Marc's feel, texture and intelligence. One of my favorite guitar players...

[@vrensen1]

I am gonna watch this another zillion times

[@-Pol-]

It took a little while after the initial WTF!? to bed in but I persisted and by the end I'm a fan. I'm not sure I could sit through an album but I'd be there for any live performance or quality video like this one. These guys are mesmerising to witness in person. This looks like such an engaging way to make music together... wish I had the chops to join in.

[@MrDaigoRiki]

I don't know why I love his music. He's so grumpy and punk. He's got this enormous energy that other dudes like Nels Cline or Bill Friesell don't have.

[@nikolademitri731]

Eh, I’m not so sure I agree with you on Nels Cline, though there’s no doubt that Marc has more of that punky energy. That said, the single time I saw Nels play live, I was mesmerized. He was an absolute savage, in ways that I was absolutely not expecting: contorting about with his guitar, in the smallish space he had, gear/pedals/amps/etc to one side, the other members of Wilco on the other, but still swinging about, playing behind his head, playing with his teeth, and so on.. He was the wildest person on stage, at a concert that spanned almost three hours, where nearly 30 songs were played. Only during the more acoustic hour or so, in the middle of the show (when I was essentially forced to sit, much to my chagrin, as everyone else was), was he more reserved. At the visceral peaks of that night, he was an absolute demon, and it made my brain/soul get off hard. That’s my experience, but sure, he’s not gonna be like that all the time. Maybe in jazz settings he’s much more reserved, or maybe that night was very atypical. All I know is he was definitely expelling a punk energy, but again, I generally agree with your overall statement regarding Marc. (And unfortunately I’ve not been fortunate enough to see Bill live, but certainly hope to eventually.) ✌️

[@biganttony6786]

man I just stumbled onto something special and different. This is fresh.

[@jeffriley2218]

Superior stuff for sure. All three of these guys are superb musicians

[@georgemanka]

The lead break in “Lies My Body Told Me” is magnificent!

[@euchre90]

Breaking a string right on your first song is no mean feat! Ches is splendid too, as always!

[@LighterEast]

- you will explain it later...to the lawyers. - We cannot even explain it... to ourselves GOD

[@daimajinmiracleband6546]

I regard him as greatest punk guitar master and this is how to play guitar loudly.

[@johnstahl3256]

Robert Quine would like a word

[@davydelafuente]

Damn!!! That was the best thing I’ve heard in a long time

[@markusmueller7010]

Marc Ribot rocks!

[@danielemantovani5208]

what a great performance. Thank You, KEXP and Ceramic Dog.

[@liamguitars]

Sweet guitar gods the energy is contagious .I need a lot more of this in my life!!!

[@olafbelitz9361]

This is great Woman and Guys from KEXP. love this Station.Greatings from EUROPE.

[@ThinkTherapy]

Just saw/heard Marc at a Como Lake Park Pavilion and it was an experience shared with nature. Conversation musically that caressed then tickled the senses. Soul filling vibes that are simply moving air. Music!!! Thank you for sharing this completely different arrangement.

[@mimoincc]

I´ve been listening Marc Ribot´s music and Ceramic Dog it´s my favorite Ribot´s project. Party Intellectual it´s a BIG BIG album. Thanks for this.

[@Clownsec]

Freaking great! Seeing him with Mary Halvorson in a few days. No idea what to expect!

[@anthonystretch4250]

[@nmp290765]

i wasn't expecting such punky aggression. great stuff

[@joan2cat]

I saw them some weeks ago and they are pure dynamite. Marc Ribot one of the best guitars

[@ЕвгенийБармин-ф4щ]

Божественно. Благодарю.

[@mikegreen5619]

WHOA! Blew my mind. Deviates from jazz in that they don't run up and down the scales between ideas.

[@MrGrunge88]

Absolutely, yes indeed.

[@claireblue9009]

Total pleasure always, never fails to amaze me.

[@williamaltizer5637]

I saw him play at yoshi's oakland, probably ten yrs ago. It was a great show and i guess i was drunk because i needed to shake his hand. Somehow i dodged securityand got right to him. He was already sitting at a small table eating sushi. He looked up and said " i guess you suspect i have cocaine!.

[@ComedicAlchemy]

Hahaha

[@donsal.t.1765]

[@wonbadood8243]

Lovvely to see this sort of thing :)

[@alombo67]

That's what great musicians are for! Yeahhh!!!

[@christophernoia5197]

This dude is playing that crazy on a jaguar with a vintage style bridge and making it work... this is the only time I’ve ever second guessed having bought 2 master bridges for my jazzmasters.

[@frankiejoey107]

Best three slightly off musicians ever! Every one of them creating absolutely brilliant music. You cannot under estimate these artists. They push the boundaries more than a lot of people. Oh yes, then there is Mary Halvorson - who if you don't know is the absolute genius of guitar.. Take the simple heart beat and put it into a blender with a whole bunch of soul and you get this. Haiti, Cuba, Jazz, Punk, Anger, NY, drugs and I am thinking a whole lot of memories and love. BOOM! Ceramic Dog. 2020!

[@Toxeensynth]

rock futuristic , absolutely amazing, ribot is THE goat
