Recorded Live at Analog Skunk Baxter

[@DannyDep17]

Just finished watching your interview with Rick Beato and thought I should come here to see what this is all about. All I can say is that I just wanna listen to where it's going. 😉😎 Have fun .😊 Happy journeys everyone. 🌹❤🙏😇😊😘🤗🙏

[@bobgehret2102]

I just did the same thing

[@sisyphusdw7]

Me three… Never smelled Skunk so sweet!

[@sisyphusdw7]

Mark Damian is a monster… Keith Carlock like. The stick flip at 9:07 was tasty…

[@southpaw1959channel]

Yep!

[@gmb858]

👍👍

[@janelarose9862]

Late to this game of knowing who Skunk Baxter is, but been a great fan of Steely Dan & Doobie Bros almost from day one. What a talent Baxter is and a GREAT storyteller about those amazing musicians he knew and played with.

[@wesh8870]

Dude is 76 years old and still burns! Love it.

[@jameshall8455]

I didn't know this and we go to the same doctor. I see him every once and awhile. Cool guy. very Kind. jh, US ArmyVeteran SGT NATO HQs. and Jeff works in Missile defense, The Pentagon. Top secret clearance. He is a genius! The guy does many things the public has no idea about. Merry Christmas

[@JoeJohnson-w2s]

Saw the Rick Beato interview and had to watch this! ❤

[@markhardwick5968]

Me too! Skunk nailed the solo on Rikki.

[@rick063092]

Another grateful recipient of the Beato interview algorithm..

[@twoblacklabs904]

Funny how that works, huh?

[@guitarplayingman]

Listened to Skunk Baxter all my life. Been playing myself for over 60 years, he's been an inspiration to all of us who have played the guitar and anyone who loves great music! !

[@jimharrison4526]

I've seen Doobie Bros. twice and the latest was their 50th anniversary tour and the other time was in the 70's. And I saw Steely Dan a couple of years ago. But I know you have been very influential on both bands being a success along with the other studio backup work you have done over your lifetime. But I have followed you most of my lifetime and will continue to do so. I'm 68 years young and about to turn 69 in a few months but I will continue to follow your music journey the rest of my days. Your loyal fan Jimbo. 🎸

[@azduros]

Saw Skunk when he joined Doobies late 70’s. Afterwards he walked into the back door of the bar we ended up at to see one of our favorite local bands, Big Twist and the Mellow Fellows. Jeff sat in with them the rest of the night, and only took one solo. He just wanted to keep playing music. A treasure for sure.

[@JamesSmith-mz9ec]

Fan for over 50 years, always a treat to watch him work!

[@larrywithrow7172]

O he of the best concerts I've listened to in along time.

[@lynngeiger9168]

just not long enough. could listen this for hours.

[@gaylenhalbert4391]

As the year ends this gets my vote for the best music video I have watched on YT-----------and I have watched many.

[@flyingstratosurfer6285]

So much passion. Still going strong, better than ever. Kudos to one of the greatest!

[@tonygallo1104]

Love Skunk Baxter.. this was awesome!

[@gaylenhalbert4391]

Yes, awesome.

[@dwightgann1104]

You playin’ the piss out of that gurtar! No boundaries.. I love it 🙏🏻

[@lc4Music747]

I wonder what it is like to be a bass virtuoso and be able to sing like that. Wow… The drummer is exceptional… the keyboard guy… Man oh man… Skunk sure knows how to put a band together… Thanks Mr. Skunk… Oh, you are pretty good yourself…Ha! Thank you for all the great music over the years. You have enriched all of our lives.

[@TheDigitalhank]

On behalf of the whole band, thank you for the very kind words. We're just having a blast!

[@markslaney2794]

Same here... Just watched what is now one of my favorite interviews with Rick Beato and and am now watching this concert, which is really just fucking brilliantly performed. Skunk is taking me on a trip and I like where it's going.

[@NormanPeterson]

THANK YOU FOR MIXING THE KEYBOARDS UP LOUD!! AWESOME CONCERT!!

[@AndrewDougherty-p4w]

Awesome musician. It takes me back to my summer days working at Bard College on the maintenance crew. Great memories.

[@larrywithrow7172]

What a great guitarist. Who knew. On my list of great guitarist. One of the best.

[@scotttannehill3438]

The mos baddassed thing I have ever grooved on..in...thru...over..

[@jagmasters7392]

One of the godfathers of the style of music I love and grew up on. His licks, rhythm’s and songs will ring out forever. Nice tight ensemble. Supreme vocals by Hank on bass and super slick support by Mark on drums / vocals and James on keys.The guest spots by Lauren, Gunnar, Rick, Slim Jim & Rome were nice features. China Grove done Nashville style was absolutely funtastic!!!

[@twoblacklabs904]

Skunk’s legendary Steely Dan guitar solos are firmly etched in my mind. His musical overhaul of the Doobies was historic. And now the future’s a great wide expanse for Mr. Baxter & Company…🎸🎹🥁

[@peacefulwanderer2050]

Insecurity is one driving tune- killer snare sound mix. Skunk's playing is epic with one burnin' ass solo on Black Friday. Dig that reinterpretation on China Grove. Brings a whole new meaning to Country Rock.

[@timothyproksch2915]

Words can’t explain the guitar playing you just have to see it. Great work.

[@sharongrenier1667]

Skunk doing what ever the hell he wants- on or off the reservation- Divine!💫❤🔥

[@scottgutteridge1819]

"just wanted to see where it's going" -- it's still going -- fabulous music !

[@80thtasties85]

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow !!! cheers from germany!

[@scotttannehill3438]

The most incredible set I have ever heard.....way F'in over the top!!!!

[@brimasterfilms3396]

Jeff, great show... Fantastic renditions of the Steely tunes. You guys rock! Been a huge Skunk / Steely / Doobie fan for years... And that has to be THE snare drum sound from HELL! Love it!

[@vidmachine]

I've been waitiing for this. I was THERE!

[@bobrennegarbe5547]

National treasure. Thanks Skunk

[@missyounorm33]

That guitar has such a GROWL. Drums sound incredible. What a Skunk works this is!

[@peteraddison4371]

... SkinkWorks, is really Gr8 name for future projects going forward. So good in fact it's probably already taken ...

[@ChrisFoster-m8t]

Jeff, you are blowing my mind. You have the fingering and dexterity of a 25 year old. All I can say is absolutely amazing. Keep on keeping on!!

[@garygilbert2168]

Thats a kickass live performance Skunk and band!

[@kevinwilson1124]

Jeff, you are playing top level and as amazing as ever! You have inspired me this morning. Thank you Skunk 🦨!!

[@NZbluesky]

Great stuff guys! Thank you for keeping on keeping on!. Live is the best! And being able to record live was always my moto! Cheers

[@fordsrestorations970]

This is luxury music ! Pure Entertainment . Baxter has every influence contained in one. Nice choice of musicians to support !!

[@ashberrychapman7117]

Beyond Magical. Thank you for your energies - entanglement theory, quantum, etc - as you alluded at the start of the Rick Beato interview. I bought all those SD and DB albums on vinyl as they were released. My daughter and her husband have them now. They are musicians too, as I've been since the 70s, inspired by you and your circles of infinite musical energy. Love and gratitude, Alan Chapman

[@brettreeves2025]

top shelf---the Nashville Grove made me hear that song again

[@Gylfi465]

Love this. Jeff is an icon make no mistake. Great attitude.

[@MichaelHulsey-d3h]

Wow, loved it.

[@moderndiscourse]

Rome casually walking out at the end was the chef’s kiss. What an amazing show

[@richardroskell3452]

Fantastic! Thanks to the artists.

[@pangoroo]

OMG! Jeff! You are Legend!

[@johnvastola7748]

Keyboardists James Raymond , David Crosby’s Son, played and produced David’s album containing a song with lyrics by Donald Fagen, music by James Raymond, vocal by Crosby. The track is “ Rodriguez For A Night”. Nice work.

[@adenihil]

This dude… This dude man! Genuine.

[@philbarrile7997]

Fabulous band. Super creative performance!

[@andymarsal]

really like the sound of the drums

[@dthebassman7999]

Amazing fingers and his talent and speed have only gotten a boat-load better over the past 54 years.

[@andrescanepa418]

Guauuu!!! Espectacular amigo Bexter! I love your playing. Always did, always will. Big hugh from Uruguay/Canada.

[@tbluesboye]

Ho Lee Fook! That was wicked awesome! Thanks for posting!

[@lisaniermann4103]

I want to see “where it’s going” with Skunk, but no doubt: it’s going to be GOOD!

[@rorydalton8412]

Amazing performance!

[@stephendawg1]

This is such a pleasure to watch and listen to. So much talent in this band. However, does anyone else have a hard time not thinking of Mike Ehrmantraut in “Breaking Bad “ when they look at this phenomenal bass player and singer? 😂

[@spookyroofus]

Actually I think he looks like a cross between Mike and ... wait for it ... Hank!!!!

[@Spike-w5o]

Yes,,😊😊 ,,the Rick Beato was awesome Skunk

[@scotttannehill3438]

Great Googlelamooglee!!!!

[@josuemoreno7479]

that version of China Grove !!! 😍

[@henryb160]

Great to see Skunk actually using on stage the Roland Blues Cube amps he spent years promoting.

[@stephenadkins9883]

Frickin Awesome ❤

[@SebWilliams-ql9sd]

Great concert Diggin Do it Again and Apache

[@lionheartmerrill1069]

PHENOMENAL

[@davidvandermolen1687]

fantastic!

[@cjnav7832]

Hard to believe that he is an advisor to the members of Congress on missile defense What an incredible individual

[@K5HJ]

Like many others, I saw the Beato interview and had to see what Skunk was doing currently. This band is killer.

[@markv.5962]

i love how skunk worked in the riff from bowies fame in the middle of insecurity

[@fordsrestorations970]

Miss Lauren Oh I thought you were going to steal the show , thank you dear lady .

[@MecPex]

Wow wow wow 🎉🎉🎉

[@bluesrockline7964]

HLW 😂 Hear Rick's interview, Listen the show and wanna listen wanna llsten to where it goes 😊

[@russbuford8392]

Had to come over and see where things are going

[@Larrymh07]

This is the first I've heard him sing.

[@daverobinson5431]

Wow.....

[@TheOhioConnection]

I didn't know Mike Ehrmantraut plays bass! Better Call Skunk!!!

[@americanhorseman]

Loose and Excellent!

[@larryjohnson6385]

I’m 75 and I never heard of him! Where was I??

[@scotttannehill3438]

OMG

[@dalestephens1588]

I would think that your version of Do It Again would be Donald Fagan’s new favorite version of it! I found it WAY more interesting than the original.

[@TRICK-OR-TREAT236]

THEY'LL NEVER BE ANOTHER SKUNK LIKE JERRY BAXLER .

[@larryevola2631]

Do it Again

[@richardschley4110]

👍✌❤😎

[@scotttannehill3438]

Im only half way through set

[@ricklyons6197]

saw Beato and down the rabbit hole

[@davedillon1372]

What happened to C J Vanston? He must be back in LA doing Commercial music - 'Checks In The Mail Money'. But, it could be a vocals beefing up thing. This is a better Set. He got bored &/or a worn out larynx to some degree. The Bassist is the only one from the first Date of the Speed of Heat Tour. I'm glad he's mixing it up some.

[@simonsbuddy1806]

What is James Raymond using to get such an accurate Hammond B3/Leslie tone?

[@martysender5539]

Nice! Marty Sender You Tube

[@Mariners11]

I wanna see where this is goin...

[@rickbaker4571]

Such a tight show... Steamer Lane Grove doesn't do it for me, but as he says... let's see where this goes.

[@simonsbuddy1806]

Are those Ricky Nelson's boys singing harmony?

[@cliffworks748]

Ricky Nelso'n's sons!

[@JayVoorhees]

Slash?

[@robgeenumberone]

As much as I admire Skunk Baxter I am underwhelmed by this performance. I'm not questioning the insane talent on that stage but something is missing.

[@charlesallison6932]

What is the name of the Rikki singer? I can't catch it. Sounds like "lauren laurel"

[@crankfar]

Way too much autotune on the vocal.

[@oldtimerf7602]

Skunk isn't playing record perfect here, but the man isn't 25 years old either.❤❤

[@sharongrenier1667]

He can easly outplay any 25 year old

[@felbertmindfoto9090]

Surely you don't assume he wants to play 'record perfect'

[@UncleAshGuitarZone-v6g]

i don't think he intends to play record perfect at this point in his lfe.... He's probably sick of it and gets way more enjoyment out of mixing it up and taking things a different direction with some improve thrown in here and there. I totally get what he his doing and have massive respect and awe for it. Love Skunk - he's the closest thing you will find to a legit American version of Jeff Beck. Like Jeff Beck but with a heavy North American influence and he's definitely in my top 10 favorites of all time. Absolutely mad respect for Skunk!!

[@cjnav7832]

"Not playing ewcord perfect" That was the goal;)

[@keithtomlinson128]

Wow!! They found another way not to pay musicians!!

[@ozzy-o8215]

too much flash on Apache, Jeff….less is more with that song

[@SkyAvila777]

The solo's are sloppy and sounds like a cat got caught in a blender. Time to retire

[@marksobolik8943]

It sounds better in the studio with a producer. Maybe that's why Donald and Walter decided to not play live. This does not sound good. The mix is not good.

[@mt9054]

You’re gonna be that guy huh?

[@Tim091]

This is what a live band sounds like, it's real, it's organic, it's human. Studio is a manufactured product, necessary but not a patch on the real thing musicians do, this.

[@Ralph1953]

Live is never perfect. It is the moment.

[@ninod1502]

Sounds better than my 70s transistor radio
