Monte Montgomery live | Rockpalast | 2008

[@iand6078]

Im so glad to see the comments here, saying what i have said for years, why isnt Monte world famous? Hes gotta be top 10 in the world at making guitars do incredible things. Theres more old stuff creeping onto YT as well as some of his recent live stuff which is great to see.

[@billcarlson1935]

Not only a stellar guitarist, but quite an amazing vocal range, and he writes songs and creates awesome arrangements of the songs he covers. Total package.

[@PeterJVogel]

So sad that this guy is not a household name and his music isn't known across the world. Incredible talent.

[@kfsowner1]

If I can get my jaw off of the floor, I am feeling light headed, and am completely "Shocked", and feel like I'm drooling all over myself, as I attempt to take off my shoes, because I MUST be standing on Holy Ground... No One...short of a Guitar God...Can Play A Guitar, like what we just witnessed... Ohhh Myyy Jeeeze Louizze!!!...The "Force is Strong!!" with this "Bender of Strings" and I Am 87yrs old...I HAVE NEVER WITNESSED ANYTHING LIKE HIM The Sounds that he Harvests Out of His "wife" are easily, NOT of THIS WORLD! Can ANYONE Name another Guitarist, that can even compare , with this guy?!? I'm STILL Babbling INCOHERENT... Gibberish, Worst than Joe Biden... Completely Stunned Out of My Head!

[@bjs1130]

Stevie Ray Vaughn is the only name I can think of......and I still do NOT think its close.....God Bless Ken

[@THADTHACKER]

This guy reminds me of Yngwie Malmsteen a lot, and Eric Johnson on some parts. Sings like Pat Travers. I'd rather listen to them.

[@darthragnareinarsonn3181]

Quite possibly one of the most under rated guitarists of all time!. HE'S DOING ALL OF THAT ON AN ACOUSTIC!!,........AN ACOUSTIC!!!!!!!!!!

[@darthragnareinarsonn3181]

@@rockapartie That's your opinion. I love his sound.

[@vibefrequencyable]

Agreed. The only current acoustic guitarist on a steel string that comes close is tommy.

[@dlambethful]

He has to be the best guitar player in the world at this point. Damn,

[@WmRob]

One of the nicest “stars” I have ever met.

[@MrEddiethedog]

One of the Best!!!

[@minminzemi7606]

The guitar play of Monte Montgomery is amazing ! 　I want you to go live in Japan !

[@jimd9360]

i read a great anecdote about two guys leaving a Monte concert. One said "I gotta practice!" The other guy said "I gotta open a bait shop."

[@ReckonRight]

That's exactly what I dig about Monte.

[@MichaelInsinger]

Der alte Monte. Damals hat er mir gefallen. Wär schon schön mal wieder etwas neues wirklich gutes von ihm zu hören. Sehr unterschätzter Gitarrist und Musiker.

[@MississippiDave]

Sweet Moses in the morning! Nobody can do what Monte can do on that guitar. Nobody!

[@kashkingston7296]

[@MississippiDave]

What’s that? A guitar pedal?

[@chadgrabner4136]

Outstanding stuff, and to think I only discovered Monte in 2022! I was under a rock for long time I guess.

[@nestoralvarez8035]

EXTRAORDINARIO, UN VIRTUOSO!

[@alainlacharite6555]

Great Concert - Thanks for sharing on my 10 and more listened

[@davidblythe4760]

First time ,bad ass, dig that.

[@jasonjones1003]

I've been a musician since I was 7. I'm 51 now and over the course of that time played 7 instruments, some of them well, some professionally. I can explain many things. I can't explain monte. He's otherworldly. I can't find a better word.

[@gui-texzan7477]

💯

[@RFWMusic]

I really like the *When Will I* song ! It was funny when him and the bassist were hitting each others guitars haha! *Saved video to my Guitar ("Gita" in Swahili) KZbin playlist*

[@kfsowner1]

Yeah... Chris Maresh... Played Some Bass gigs with the likes of John Mayer, as well as Eric Johnson... Good Vibes, with all!!

[@victorjohnston1529]

@@kfsowner1 David Piggott is the bass player here.

[@lalamusicgirl1]

You can totally hear the Eric Johnson influence. Excellent player. Bravo. The thing that really sucks is when the Fucked up NFL puts no talented rappers like Snoop Dog on a halftime show instead of real talent like Monte Montgomery!!! That sucks when brilliant players can't get well-deserved exposure to a young audience.

[@mikelowrie8957]

I saw him about this time very good

[@alanwatson3367]

Besides being a BMF on the guitar what a live music experience

[@bcrich07]

Acoustic Steve vai !

[@davsea123]

after 3 1/2 years, no dislikes. Nice!!

[@joynthis]

My acoustic guitar doesn't sound like this. I'm returning it.

[@vibefrequencyable]

Has to be a top 3 steel string player ive ever heard. Doesn't include the writing and singing either.

[@slocaster]

I wonder if that's Maggie's Guitar.

[@juergenfischle]

Schade schade Marmelade: MM ist großartig aber ich habe diese schnellen und sinnlosen Kameraschnitte gerade 2 Minuten ausgehalten. Da hat der GEZ-Abzocksender WDR aber ein ganz ein jugendliches Programm machen wollen.

[@FernandoPraise07]

Toca de mais

[@GB-lp9tm]

Sehr guter Bassist. Spielt Bass weil er es kann und nicht weil er es muss.😉😉

[@Picato75]

Der Typ is einfach nur irre!!! :)

[@Picato75]

Musikmesse?! Da war ich auch! :D

[@nomandad2000]

I’d put this guy above Stevie Ray Vaughan....and many other guitar player hotshots...

[@pick4u2]

after while, thats i=kinda boring

[@davidlatham8396]

you gt a short attention span, dude, he kills it!

[@sceiron1]

@@davidlatham8396 He's got a VERY VERY short attention span, not only does he kill it, that trio is tighter than a duck's bum.

[@MU-rx1tc]

Then let’s see if you can be up there on stage with him and do any better

[@nomandad2000]

Try video games....

[@MrPedur]

It amazes me that Monte is not super famous. He is one of the best guitarists in the world, ever. There is not much of his material on the tube and that is also surprising. If anyone is saving anything, please post it for the benefit of the rest of us.

[@luckyluck9379]

When will I.......so much Technic musicality and so much more. He is such an unbelievable human being.

[@michaelsmith285]

Amazing! I live outside of Austin and just discovered him in the last year or so. This is an amazing concert. I have a Home Theater with Surround Sound and would love to purchase a copy of this if it is available for home use.

[@rixubishi]

The reason Monte isn't a household name is likely because he refused to sell his soul.

[@rudolfx1070]

Admirable performances man

[@jmack619]

someday, I hope to find out the objectives of camera people. came here to watch the show, they tried to BE the show

[@jmack619]

@@rockapartie if it was only interns! I see all videos being clipped by editors with 3-4 second frames, nasal passage hair shots during the solos, zooming in on one hand , panning the audience, showing the drummer during a guitar solo, and vise versa, the from behind shots , panning the band like the camera guy is getting set up, and my all time favorite... a sky view of the event from 5 miles away. At least the psychedelic flower power quick frames are gon, but so is the music. There, that,s my rant, I feel better !

[@victorjohnston1529]

Nope. They are just doing what they are told to do. Put all of that on the director.

[@tiktokyt]

Yeah, the editing is terrible. Stay on one thing, preferably Monte, for more than 3.5 seconds. Also: never whip zoom.

[@andymcdonell2715]
