peace on my mind

[@ElijahKai]

Robben Ford is truly a master. 100% pure musicality, no showing off at all. Yet his technique and rhythm are immaculate. He developed blues into an artform that no one can replicate. Genius!

[@virgyltracey8454]

A nice point of view. I believe he is the most important blues representative of our time...

[@sclutovic]

Very well said. In my opinion, he is (arguably), the finest jazz/blues player in history.

[@ericsmadis]

@@sclutovic Yes, he is the move innovative modern blues guitarist of a generation. Very few guitarists have added to the language of the blues.

[@jeffs7482]

@@ericsmadis I've heard about him for years, but as I'm just now getting back into playing electric guitar after decades I'm just now getting into him. This tune was a fabulous introduction and I agree with you completely. Playing only pentatonics, no matter how masterfully, is not going to cut it for me.

[@aahmed8239]

Genius !!!

[@airtonsalles]

This guy deserves a statue. His sound is between the mystical and impossible.

[@Marcus_C51]

Well said! He is otherworldly sublime. I would love to see that statue somewhere in the Bay Area!

[@davebowman6497]

Talented from birth, did the hard work to get guitar playing really under his skin, never been afraid to cross into new territory, and has worked with a diversity of artists. Enjoys playing in actual "conversation" with other players. Got this three-piece together, and I'm crossing my fingers he'll do that again. Music lovers are extremely lucky to have him and his likes.

[@tylerdodmusic423]

My favourite guitar solo ever. The way he plays with the feedback to add to the melody of the solo is sublime. The tone and note choice are impeccable.

[@ArtLogins]

bridge pickup, feedback, reverb... perfection

[@JW-nr3ob]

that 335 sounds amazing ...well played

[@andrewhardardt9851]

Saw Robben in Oakland, CA years ago. Still one of the best shows I've ever seen. The joy that he exudes from the stage is a physical force. I've never left a show feeling so good before or since. That show turned me into a devotee, and I already liked his work.

[@xldsyt]

I keep coming back to this one. All these guys are stars, what a performance!

[@mrnulliustestikleezeeastee7365]

Panos and Carlton. I agree. What a triumvirate.

[@armandopace8559]

That guitar amazes me. That feedback drives me crazy , and of course Robben's actually one of the greatest!

[@stratcat7162]

Agreed

[@sclutovic]

He is THE greatest.

[@gregmullins6927]

No backup rhythm guitarist and his chord playing is precise and toneful and singing with such feeling,Robben you're just fabulous mate!!

[@fernandovincenzini1664]

Every time I watch this video I am left speechless. Roben is so gifted and in turn, he gives his art entirely to us. Magical stuff indeed.

The great master Robben in action....and he's such a kind good person...God bless him!!!!!! Thankyou for this seb!!!!!

[@YaoEspirito]

What's to dislike? Everything is perfect; song, performance, sound, filming.

[@shaney8275]

I've been a Robben Ford fan since the 80's - he's amazing. "Soul on Ten" has been on rotation in my cd player since it came out. The rhythm section is equally amazing - watching Pano's head flip back and forth between Travis and Robben at the end, totally committed to the art - mind-blowing how good these artists actually are...

[@mrnulliustestikleezeeastee7365]

Same. Concord label, yes?

[@shaney8275]

@@mrnulliustestikleezeeastee7365 I think it is the Concord label, but I would have to dig the cd out. Seems we're lucky to have a bunch of live material on KZbin from a lot of periods. Mr. Ford is one of the best.

[@mrnulliustestikleezeeastee7365]

@@shaney8275 right on. Regardless of the hateful stuff that can be found on KZbin/comments sections, I'm overwhelmingly grateful for the platform.

@@mrnulliustestikleezeeastee7365 it is surprising in both directions - I read comments that are both thoughtful and thought provoking, and then there's the opposite, the trolls, nutjobs and haters.

[@thebalance6869]

This is the most profound, complete, live performance songs in the past 20 years that we have recorded for us. You can hear Robben's voice break up from the emotion at certain points. I watch this very regularly and always want to drop tears and believe the soul of the song deeply.

[@sclutovic]

Very well said

[@rbagel55]

I feel the same, this song is. just damn good !

[@jeffs7482]

I just heard it for the first time and it gripped me immediately. I never knew how wonderful a singer he is.

[@gvg3841]

once more Robben .. absolutely wonderful (and so much one with those guys on drums and bass)

[@josephdillehay3130]

I can listen to this Guy on an loop! "Pure" is Golden!

[@koho]

The sound/tone in that first solo, with the delicate feedback, is my favorite from any guitar I've ever heard. ES 335 + Dumble ....

[@mojotronix3994]

The drummer is working his ass off! Reminds me of Mr. Moon. Great tones from Robben, as usual. Bass player killin' it. Woo hoo!

[@TheBluesman511]

Keith Moon?? Not at all. Very different style. Moon was destroyer constantly doing drumming barages that was for my taste much - too much and irritating. This drummer is jazz drummer, very precise and tasty .

[@mojotronix3994]

Haki, I was referring to his mannerisms. I am aware of the not so subtle differences between Keith Moon and this drummer. I'm guessing there is not a drummer on this planet, Rock, jazz, or whatever, that hasn't been influenced in some way by Keith Moon, and his approach to drumming. If they haven't, then they aren't studying enough. Peace

[@jerrymcgeorge4117]

Bass player is Larry Carlton’s son, Travis

[@sotiristsamandanis6424]

This is a great DVD. This song is sublime. The solo on this is magic and the control of the feedback from the 335!

[@fuzzyjax]

Back again. Seems to feel more relevant today more than ever.

[@brianbrown0806]

Great when he released it and even more important today in light of the lack of peace in way, way too many places.

believe it or not... that might not be a 335... he's been known to use a different Gibson that looks like a 335 ... but isn't. 1966 Epiphone Riviera with the Bigsby removed and a hardtail installed.

He's one of the most famous users of Dumble amplifiers. Unaffordable, even if you get the chance to buy one. The Ceriatone Overtone Special is the best and most affordable alternative for that Dumblesound, if you're looking for an amp like that. You can also buy the Hermida Audio Zendrive, that's an stombox known as 'Dumble in a box'. That pedal in combination with an Fender-ish amp shall do the trick too! I'm using a great Zendrive Clone and it's really amazing. Very rich and dynamic tone!

[@TheDosai]

good stuff, woof!

[@kerranz]

@hjerthinfarkht He seems to instigate the howl (at least the first few times) by brushing the strings with his fingerprint, creating a harmonic that develops into the amp's pushed air. Of course position in front of the amp is critical. He does play a lot louder than I imagined, I saw this tour live and was a little shocked to hear it. But then Toss Panos is a monster on the drums, you'd better bring the heat if you're gonna play over him!

@MrVader4000 Dumble OD Special, and that 335 is probably a '64/'65.

[@KirbyGC00]

Anyone know how Robben is approaching these chords during his solo? I'm really interested in how hes getting that unique sound over this progression.

[@BesoPalma]

how does he get that tone?

[@beyondthis7]

Dumble Amplifier/ Overdrive Special... obscenely expensive amplification (a few pedals) and the old "it's all in the hands" cliche... the right amount of vibrato on the right note with the right volume setting and the especially right setting on the preamp... poof.. harmonic overdrive. It's taken me years to get this even close to that tone... using a Peavey Transtube amp (see introduction of "Trans Tube Technology" taking NAMM by storm several years ago).... It helps to use a vintage semi hollow body guitar ... but it can be done with a hard body fender product as well...

[@taifun73]

@jmanalastas Es 335 is a `68 :)
