[@fiddlefolk]

Just pure bad asses!!! Need an album from these guys!

[@overdriveguitarchannel3403]

That Bassist is a giant!!

[@vhollund]

The jazz elements EJ have added to his playing are refreshing

[@guyh.4121]

It’s taken long enough😉

[@stratsouldier]

What?? Maybe you oughta go listen to his playing from the 70’s with The Electro Magnets

[@melmel075]

he was all over jazz elements in the mid 1970s when he was the guitarist for the Electromagnets kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWnGe4Nqer1-iKc

[@montysloungetv]

He was playing jazzy in the late seventies early eighties with carole king

[@ATAK335]

Eric should make a duo album with Mike Landau, as he did with Mike Stern.

[@alexguitarfan6447]

that would be wonderful

[@ATAK335]

Alex Guitarfan, and this time, with twin vocal, hopefully, because Mike and Eric are nice singers both. That would be nice as Renegade Creation...

[@alexguitarfan6447]

@@ATAK335 Yeps nice vocals and would be cool to hear those both in the same setting.... would love if both Mike and Eric really took some time and developed some jams and compositions together and captured it on a cool studio album and a live concert :-)

[@fernandes5986]

Yeah but a Jazzy ambient album, with clean sound. Landau with his Dytronics tri chorus and Eric with the TC SCF.

[@porkbelly0713]

I just love me some Mike Stern and have almost every CD he has ever released. I saw him at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta many years ago

[@alanpenner3328]

Bass guitar is the ruler on this one. Nice.

[@mozartsp]

Andy Hess is a beast!

[@alanpenner3328]

@@mozartsp he kills it everytime i see. amazing bandleader. bass players get there due 100%

[@lazloleif7739]

Never heard Eric play like that!

[@JohnW335andTele]

lazloleif reminds me of Allan Holdsworth

[@GuitarJawn]

Different gear makes you play different, he should do this more often.

[@porkbelly0713]

Oh he can play that shit, check him out playing with Mike Stern live

[@StayHomeEatGreat]

Thank you for this. Of all ofthe guitarist pairings I've seen over the years, THIS is the one I've been waiting for! Love these guys!

[@frank-ski]

Wow! Thanks for sharing! Two giants playing with, fire, soul, passion and chops! The band is amazing and right there all along!

[@BrianDupoux]

Andy Hess in the Bass Guitar! 🔥👏👏👏👏

[@jupitermoongauge4055]

Eric playing other people's music almost highlights even more how incredible he is

[@PIPA1302]

landau is THE MAN

[@gsmeeuwsen]

This is one of the coolest meetings of two monster guitarists who play different styles (although not as different as one might think...listen to EJ playing in the Electromagnets...) with a killer rhythm section. Would have loved to have been there!

[@pinkmoon4211]

This is brilliant 4 musicians jamming dosent get much better than this TIGHT

[@ireneruthfox]

Great Jam.....Andy Hess just took me to school. Respect.

[@john-zw9rw]

Landau...... This Cat...brings out the best with who-ever he plays with....

[@johnmcevoy3598]

Saw the Renegade Creation tour in its infancy. Hearing Robben freak out with him was zen. I saw the Carlton/Lukather show in 2001 - same deal. I always thought of Larry as a highly refined player, but pairing up with Luke brought out the flame-throwing monster in him. A rare treat.

[@joeystratman]

Great tune, the key changes in the guitar is actually brilliant, each player not stepping on each other’s solo. Great stuff!

[@rafusion]

Thanks for the video Sir.

[@physiciansassist1]

[@stevenlopez7135]

The drum and bass --just dare you --set a nice canvas to play on!

[@guydebord5722]

Andy Hess great, as usual; I saw him playin with Robben Ford

[@S_Heavens]

This is epic. Different style of EJ

Reminds me of Mark Knopfler vocally!

Rushing like crazy

[@ecarteringram]

@@lorenzmuller3542 Really?, how can Landau accept such shit? Alan plays with a lot of talented people, and produces.

[@lorenzmuller3542]

@@ecarteringram I don't know. It's certainly rushing. It's not like for instance Stewart Copeland or sometimes Colaiuta pushing and driving, it really is genuine rushing.

[@ecarteringram]

@@lorenzmuller3542 I'll let him know lol. Vinnie and Stewart are the creme de la creme. Thats a bar thats pretty tough to clear. BTW, i've seen Jeff Beck Slow Vinnie down on a number of occasions. But your points are well taken. Ain't music grand?

[@stratsouldier]

So many people on here acting like EJ can’t hang or that this is him branching out of his comfort zone. What?!?!? Educate yourselves. Check out 70’s Electromagnets etc If you listen to EJ and don’t hear Jazz or John McLaughlin do yourself a favor and listen 👂.

[@k2eng]

Il est où le son?

[@sonicsaviouryouwillnotgetm6678]

[@SuperHotrod4]

Well this song went know where

[@BenFletcherGuitar]

This performance seems to be quite polarizing judging by the comments section. Landau's tone is great, Landau's tone is bad. EJ is amazing and playing jazz runs, no wait, he's cramming ideas! Landau is the master, Landau is simple. The drummer is rushing and playing too much, no wait he's flat and boring! Seems like every opinion directly contradicts the next. Odd that a guitarist sitting in with a friends band for a random performance, could be so divisive and that people could hear the same thing so differently.

[@pneumatic00]

Well, it's gonna sound like I'm being uber critical, but I for one found the drumming not that steady, and I'm surprised to have that impression bec Alan Hertz played w/Scott Henderson for years. And I thot the bass overplayed under the solos. Oh yeah, the mix sucked and maybe it's not the best tune for a sit-in jam. Otherwise..

[@lorenzmuller3542]

@@pneumatic00 I agree, the guy is rushing it like crazy. Always.

I thought Eric was taller than Michael Landau, turns out the opposite.

Michael's guitarist is pretty good. He should start a band.

[@joeystratman]

xsited1 yeah, Eric Johnson should 😁

[@strings2wood]

Love the playing but I agree all you can hear is drums and little finesse there.

[@hexo-mobius]

All I heard was drums and bass... I wish I could hear more guitar... And more cowbell, definitely more cowbell!
