And the group was ?

[@deja75m]

Ya be retard...Oregon ya dunce...grow a beard ya stoopid idiot.

[@michaelvaladez6570]

Excellent improvisational playing after the intro.!!!maestro Ralph Towner.

[@Frederer59]

So wonderful. A perfect image of some one so excited on the verge of an adventure wondering if they have thought of everything they need and suddenly remembering they forgot something. Ralph is so amazing!!!

[@parkmontsouris4381]

An original way to express it.

[@fabianmartin7126]

RT never ceases to amaze me.

[@luigistudioso2368]

Fra i più grandi, la sua commistione fra classico e moderno e' fra le espressioni più eminenti, la sua statura compositiva e il suo grado stilistico esemplari. Musicista e chitarrista si fondono per dare luogo a suggestioni fra le più elevate. Artista e professionista di grande levatura e spessore . Emozionante

[@robmounseymusic]

What a treasure Ralph is.

[@jamestucker457]

Mr. Towner is and always has been a master of the guitar. Such tone. There's both passion, and some improvisation in this piece. Such a joyful departure. Bravo!

[@enthalp]

Ralph is magical. He appears out of nowhere at 0:02

[@MethenySco]

Besides his genius for composition, Towner also has incredible groove, regardless of the complexity, and that's what gives his music so much impact.

[@Pedro83214]

What a genius!!!

[@parkmontsouris4381]

Joyful listening.

[@kenherbst9460]

So gorgeous.

[@douzilles]

@skibum1981 Ralph is a master composer-improviser, maybe his playing is a means to writing. Even with small mistakes he is the best player of his compositions. And never saw anyone improvising on his pieces like he does.

[@VanesaSoledadOvelar]

beatiful, simplemente maravilloso...

[@vifa1069MW3]

[@enthalp]

This is incredible! Really shameful that it has < 1200 views (@ the time of this post). Look at some of the stuff that has millions of views... ugh.

[@craigguitar22]

love it

[@a-olle]

Lovely)

[@mimbass1606]

Au dessus c'est le soleil...

[@AbstractMan23]

i get totally lost in his music. so much soul, character and poetry coming out of his fingers. the fact that he is not 'clean' really does not bother me (maybe because i'm not a guitar player). it's music! :-)

[@OktoberStorm]

"Clean" as in unplugged? Edit: Nvm, I think I understand.

[@BazzTriton]

You call yourself "abstract man" and yet get lost with Ralph Towner....?

[@abylemoun7597]

Si dieu existe, il écoute Towner, c'est obligé...

[@skibum1981]

abyle moun vraiment!

[@mimbass1606]

Gros Kif. Bill Connors était pas mal aussi. Chez Ralph comme chez Allan Holdsworth, rien à jeter

[@jonkooneable]

Was his spirit! He was probably still in the dressing room! Same result!

[@pierretombale3745]

The sad and merry mixed together

[@hienbossa1065]

!!!

[@skibum1981]

Lol. Yeah it didn't do that before I uploaded to youtube. Some kind of funky compression glitch...

[@Frederer59]

Ralph the juggler.

[@TheSecondNature]

I like more the ralph towner of i sing the body electric on the moors

[@skibum1981]

@uneedtherapy42 Actually Towner isn't the cleanest of classical players, but his musicality is pretty unmatched...

[@aeropilot4419]

skibum1981 the other selections from this concert are played better. He has gotten rather sloppy in the last ten years, but then I think it's just that his brain is outpacing his fingers 😉

[@gxtmfa]

aeropilot also, age wears on the nimbleness of the fingers. Either way, I always thought of him as a jazz guy, so I don’t mind if his notes bark a little.

[@marcob4630]

Il nuovo Segovia !

[@mufasamusic]

thank you for these. Very inspiring. Please take a look at some of my vids inspired by this....
