Eric Johnson - High Landrons

[@rfd73]

Throughout my life I have seen musicians who I believe are not from this planet, Paul McCartney, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimmy Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, and of course Mr. Eric Johnson...

[@mattevans060972]

One of the most under-rated songs in history. It’s also a bit sad that EJ isn’t more well known outside guitar circles. He’s a genius.

The one time I was able to see Eric Johnson perform live was when he opened for Steve Miller ages ago. Believe it or not, the Miller crowd was booing during Mr. Johnson's incredible set.

[@SenorPlaid]

In 1991, I had tickets to see Rush in Auburn Hills. The warmup act was a guy I had never heard of named Eric Johnson. My brother had seen the same show a week earlier in Indianapolis, so I asked him about Johnson. He said, "he's good. He comes out and jams." OK, fine, always a bonus when the warmup act is decent. Got there in time for Johnson's entire set. He started with Righteous. OK, yeah, my brother was right. He is good. Then he did this song. Wow, OK. He's REALLY good. Then he did Desert Rose and 40 mile town. OK, that's it. This guy is fucking awesome! I went out and bought Ah Via Musicom the next day, and a week later, when I saw Rush with Eric Johnson in Cleveland with my Dad, I was just as excited if not moreso to see Johnson. In four songs, I went from having barely heard of the guy to being a fan for life. Thanks for posting something from that time. Geez, we all looked so young back then!

[@jasonkeith9317]

Yeah I saw that tour Roll the Bones I thought pretty much the same thing.

[@jasonkeith9317]

Rush with Eric Johnson now that was a great show!!! Saw it in Cincinnati.

[@SenorPlaid]

@@jasonkeith9317 Right? I mean, come on! I loved Rush, and they were fantastic, and Eric Johnson was a revelation. 3-1/2 hours of unbelievable music. One of my favorite shows of all time. With that in mind ... EJ paid it back many years later. I went to see him in 2012 at House of Blues. The warmup act that night was a guy I'd never heard of named Andy McKee. Wow. Lightning strikes twice.

[@jasonkeith9317]

@@SenorPlaid Eric Johnson is about as good a guitarist u'll ever come across. I miss Rush. RIP Professor. Their music was pretty much the soundtrack to my young adult life. Guess we'll always have the music but seeing them live was surreal. Eric was great live too. I'd never seen fingers move like that. Absolute master of the instrument.

This is what happens when the stars align. Eric's playing was incredibly tight, and he was visibly channeling his inner SRV. The vocals were great, which can't be easy in a song with such demanding pieces on the guitar. Heck, Eric even had a good hair day, and was likely only 5 to 7 years away from being able to grow facial hair when this was recorded. This is what it's all about, and I simply can't stop watching this performance.

[@rodiebobwilliams1330]

Really he is on a different level than SRV.. Eric had a way more modern feel.. No disrespect to SRV..I thought a more complete player not relegated to the blues... Heavy influence by Johnson..

My wife and I saw EJ at the Birchmere Theater in Alexandria VA several years ago. Front row seats. LOUD. Great show. After his encore he started to walk off stage. I jumped up holding a black marker and plastic Stratocaster vibrato cover hoping for an autograph. He paused, looked at me, turned again to leave, paused again, then came back and signed the cover. I told him what a great show it was and he thanked me.

Way down here on the edge of these snows, I hear a strong wind whine; Goin' to where the freedom bells ring, Into the Highlands I must climb. On this journey, I have been here before, Tryin' to reach the other side; I just can't get through the top of these hills, Without a mountain guide. Took such a while to find you, Oh could you show me the way? To get to the place I once knew, You're the only one, so take me through High Landrons. Up ahead, I know the trailway stops, From there on, only eagles fly; Burning (with) visions of the way back to you, They're burnin' through the eastern sky. Now and then I see a shooting star, Lighting up the silver blue; It's shining all the way down the mountain skyway, Oh, it's shining straight from you. Took all my life to find you, Oh could you show me the way? To get to the place I once knew, You're the only one, so take me through High Landrons. Up ahead... Took all my life to find you, Oh could you show me the way? To get to the place I once knew, You're the only one, so take me through High Landrons. Up ahead...💜

[@gcolnr]

@@jimmcgivern I was at the Red Rocks concert too! I live in Denver. Aside from Eric, I was amazed at how many young people there were singing along with Steve Miller’s songs from 25 years earlier. I decided there might be hope for the younger generation. 😀

[@jimmcgivern]

@@gcolnr that's funny, because that was my first impression as well. I thought I'd see a bunch of people my age (now 60) but like you said, it was a bunch of kids, and none of them knew who EJ was. I told them to be prepared to have their faces ripped off. And they all loved him. EJ came out to do a sound check and no one knew who he was. I went up to the rail and called to him, he came over and chatted with me for 3 or 4 minutes which was so cool for me. My first EJ show was the Ah Via Musicom tour. I saw him down in the Springs at the AF academy. I'm going to the Paramount on 3/5 to see him

Same here! He had outstanding equipment, tone, a dumble, and more echo and sustain/reverb making a three-piece unit sound like so much more. Some talk negatively about his reverb and echo but that's what caught my ear initially back in '88! At his peak during this period sound-wise IMO.

We went to see a concert in August 1991 at Spartan Stadium: ZZ Top, Steve Miller, and an opening act we did not know anything about, Eric Johnson. As we got to the stadium and parked, we were puzzled by the giant gaggle of groupies surrounding the fence through which the stars' limos would enter - stunning beauties, dressed in their best, 60 or 80 of them. We were not used to seeing that quantity and quality of gorgeous women show up for ZZ Top, or Steve, who are great musicians, but we had never before seen attract quite that level of attention. Then Eric Johnson came out on stage, and we said, "Ohhhh, now we get it." What a handsome guy - and his playing is nonpareil. Been fans ever since.
