LELAND SKLAR on BASS. "The VERY Best Beard In The Biz"

[@nightflight1454]

I never realized how tall he is

[@ronaldgarcia9601]

The talent on the stage is incredible.

[@MGort-bb8op]

Legend Leland Sklar

[@FMHammyJ]

The man looks the same as he did in 1975....

[@philcaron]

Yes! Lee on bass!

[@bassman5046]

Check out lee’s channel he posts everyday, talks about his career and usually plays bass to a song he’s recorded in the past....the man is a legend

[@Alanoffer]

I’ve been watching leyland sklars you tube channel , it’s really interesting his tales of all those years as a top session player

[@williamshutts4867]

Tour.....Tour..... Then tour more. America needs you right now!

[@KellySharkey66]

Warren Zevon would be proud and happy of your cover of Lawyers, guns and money.. You guys rock..👍🏻

[@kendebeer9269]

Waddy was co writer of the song He and Danny "Kootch" Kortchmar played guitar on the original song/album....

[@sbrenner2561]

Waddy is one of the greatest players around.

[@lathamarea1437]

I was lucky enough to have front row seats at a small indoor venue to a Warren Zevon, Eddie Money show, Warren was delighted when i yelled, we came to see you not Eddie, damned if he didn't walk over and shake my hand and say thank you..

[@Baci302]

Waddy, Sklar, Danny Kooch ... I grew up listening to all of them on my favorite albums.

[@McAmeron089III]

Love Kootch's Innuendo album!

[@dmlevitt]

you won't find better musicians with more stellar credentials and unbelievably talented. wonderful to hear and see. thank you.

[@coffeegirl6854]

Absolutely.

[@marygiuranna6817]

Agreed!

[@sammyvh11]

Lee is the hardest working man in the music business. He also loves his fans!!!!!

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

What a legendary lineup and they sound (not surprisingly) incredible!

[@nightsketcher]

Waddy Wachtel did for Zevon what Mick Ronson did for Bowie: played an essential role in creating and defining the sound we love....

[@mediahound]

Waddy was a presence all weekend. Terrific energy ❤️

[@tonymarinelli7304]

Absolutely and always stellar tone!

[@Snakefinger1000]

@@tonymarinelli7304 And,...he doesn't use a bank of pedal boards, he plays straight into the amp. Possibly a Tube Screamer but that's all.

[@tonymarinelli7304]

Snakefinger1000 Exactly, like The Edge who can’t play the guitar unless he’s got 1000 petals to make him sound halfway decent. I have a wah, compressor and overdrive pedal that’s it.

[@rogerray5210]

Agree 💯😊

[@StephenS-2024]

Legends! Holy geez, man. Wow.

[@JohannesLabusch]

It's kind of amazing how much Waddy's voice sounds like Warren's here.

[@JohnBillington]

100%

[@Schmitty71]

Sounds amazing! This kid's got potential, lol. Yeah, I know he's a legend!

[@wynnssecret8584]

@@Schmitty71 ......My only criticism ( and it's not much), I would have liked Waddy to switch out "dad" to "Warren, get me out of this"🤔😉🤔.

[@smokefire_southern_eats]

Agreed!

[@eliotoole]

What a band..Legends Kick-Ass vocal waddy

[@tps1020]

I love Waddy's dirty tone so much

[@Snakefinger1000]

I've seen Wachtel and Sklar on stage together a couple of times, a great team.

[@JohmathanBSwift]

Hopefully they tour around Ohio. BTW, Leland Sklar has his own You Tube channel. Very active. Just in case you didn't know.

[@FYMM69]

Always loved that tune. RIP Warren Zevon

[@sporque]

Some of my favourite performers here, and I'm happy to say I was at this show.

[@masterofthetelecast]

One of Waddy`s favourites - what can I say! Always a new experience how he plays all the solos and fill-ins in this killer song. And the audience knows that they hear a piece of musical history of one of the most brilliant songwriters of the last fifty years, don`t they? Thanks a lot for posting.

[@dennismccunney4462]

I'm familiar with Waddy, Leland and the rest as top studio musicians who were part of the famed Wrecking Crew session folks who were all over Warner/Reprise releases in the 70's. I think this is the first time I've seen the performing live.; No surprise that they're great - these guys are as good as it gets, with more talent in their little fingers than most aspiring musicians have in their entire body. .Leland mentioned this set on his Yo0uTube channel and talked about hos nice it was to be _able_ to go out and do it live after a year of COVID-19 lock down. I am now dreaming of an Immediate Family album and tour.

[@pattimartin7250]

love Warren..floatin around the universe...and these boys. so lucky...xo

[@powerpopaholic876]

Spot on vocals. :)

[@pumpkinking5174]

How it's done, right here.

[@pasqualedevitto5569]

Love these guys- was always thrilled to see them on Linda Ronstadt's albums!

[@ronfreeman5857]

What a lot of cool old dudes...makin great music...

[@jramsey9690]

Wait, they’re OLD?!?

[@RawDaDa]

I was a teenager when I first heard you guys! Good to see you all are still playing. God bless!

[@blairhelsing630]

My cover band, Saint-Pigeon, played my 65th birthday party two years ago. I *had* to have this song in the set. This I.F. version kicks ass. GREAT!

[@bonnienichalson5151]

The wizards are playind love the west coast home to the finest Musical talent on planet !💝🇨🇦

[@woodytfc]

As super a super group as you're going to get. Would love to see these guys live.

[@johnduckworth474]

One of the great Warren/Waddy songs. Good to hear it again.

Anytime I see a video with Waddy in it, I have to watch it.

[@Chaomhainn]

Great job my mentors of good ol'rock 'n' roll !

[@ronhatcher7734]

yoou guys something else.

[@romanticandperky]

The first time I heard this song I was with Herbie Worthington and members of my immediately family. About 15 or so years later, I found myself one weekend as personal chauffeur for Professor Alan Dershowitz. I found out later that one of my immediate family spent the evening with Keith Richards' at his house, watching "Goodfellas". This family member also recorded three albums with Danny Korthchmar. Hmm.

[@mikekiss648]

This is bloody fabulous !!

[@timskiff9422]

Warren would love it!

[@dougingoldsby7029]

yeah baby!

[@sparks2749]

So effortless is the quality of musicianship it's easy to dismiss the song as just another tune thrown onto the pile of other songs these guys have made famous. Plus its fun to see Santa Clause playing bass after a successful weight loss program!

[@drlarcey]

Outstanding

[@91Kingscrib84]

Russ, that is, without doubt, the funniest wig I've ever seen! 😊 I've been following these guys since they got together. There's more musical history between them than can be fully appreciated until you read the liner notes of so much of the vinyl released from the late 60s through the 1970s! These guys were at the heart of Folk/Folk Rock/& Rock. They formed the sound behind many of 'our' favorite artists.

[@91Kingscrib84]

Courtenay is my old stomping grounds. Before the Comox Valley Music Fest, there was the Renaissance Fair across from the (now defunct) Courtenay House hotel. The old days. 😂

[@ezrabrooks12]

Excellent!!!!!

[@andersvuopiosaygon9356]

I like it so much gooooooooooooo and power. That is my style rock on 🤘 🌈🔥💥🌟

[@jorjaty9670]

I love this version…. And you should too…☮️ 💗

[@lesterross1]

I don't have clue who else played this Fest, but these guys should have been headlining, or at least later when there were enthusiastic patrons. Some of the greatest players out there, and if you don't have them on something in your record collection, we couldn't be friends.

[@mediahound]

This was 6:15 to 7:30 on Sunday night. Robben Ford was the headliner Sunday. The Hamiltones and Adonis Puentes closed out the evening on the main stage. Gotta say these guys did pleasantly surprise the few who had never heard of any of them. Because we all know their music ❤️

[@lesterross1]

@@mediahound Just my generation I guess. I am older and grew up with these musicians. It would be interesting to know how many album appearances in total from the members present. I have been watching Leland Sklars isolation at home youtube channel. his numbers and genres are unbelievable. Cheers
