Recovery Road - Robben Ford, Will Lee & Friends

[@LateShowBottomEnd]

That's Mr Bob Malach on tenor!

[@Thiagoferte]

That’s the great Mr Lee on bass!!

[@johnbuffaloe9160]

How much fun must it be to play at this level.

[@RonWinter335]

So many great musicians ripping here!

[@gbastow]

the drummer's a friggin' animal!

[@jonsmtrs]

Mister Lee; amongst the most underrated vocalists!

[@davetube2ful]

i didn't even know he sang, tell last week i watch , MacArthur Park on Letterman HD feat. Will Lee.

[@rifftipton7709]

Great to see & hear how the big boys do it.

[@brecker999]

Bob Malach.....WOW :)

[@pretorious700]

Alex Acuna of Weather Report is FABULOUS!!

[@bennettbernerproject3289]

What a band!!!

[@aramb10]

Alex Acuna is simply fabulous on drum as Mr. Lee on voice. Will i think you' re been the best bass for SRV. You're great.

[@eltonej]

Met Will early 80's NYC Eric's 88th & 2nd Ave George Young and US'N Friday and Saturday nights. Great jazz, smoked a joint with Will and his father in basement at Eric's one weekend. Great man. Thanks Will.

[@marcpost4034]

Awesome!!

[@cuball2459]

This song's arrangement is great; the upbeat chord progression, the transposition to the subdominant for the solos, pedal tones (Will and Robben), the full sounding instrumentation, the surprising fill between the vocals 1:00 and the perfect placement of the drum solo over an ostinato 5:38. Killer song!

[@LateShowBottomEnd]

Thank you- this band was so badass, I wrote this song the day before & the cats OWNED IT!!

[@cuball2459]

@@LateShowBottomEnd Oh wow! Hello. The song is great and distinctive on its own but one day of preparation is impressive!

[@imthezongz]

Alex Acuna! Three drummers have the "pocket" snare no matter how busy the song or the band sounds: Jeff Porcaro, Carlos Vega, and Alex. Pure music. Always amazing.

[@Kuno2012]

Hey old buddy! How are you? Great to hear from you! - Best - Kuno -

[@tonyrichards9727]

All Killer players - Will & Alex rock on the Rhythm section..

[@rainbowillow80]

4.55 ..... how they get back to the theme ... waow ... pinacle of musicianship .. killer player

[@GregF71]

World class band :) a fu@%ing dream team 8P you guys are so classy Thanks a lot for posting this kick ass vid Peace out.

[@fredfisher5896]

Very peppy, Will. And no pep pills involved as Dave might say...Great tune!

[@mudylafeet]

Really Amazing, greetings from Brazil :)

[@miles-178]

Bob Malach, yeah

[@FightTheElite]

Very nice indeed.

[@LoungeOfSound]

That intro is Alex at his best, while 3:37-4:16 is a masterclass in succinct phrasing by Robben Ford

[@reggieboyd5444]

I love Robben Fords playing, master class indeed! Too bad the camera angles sucked and we didn't get to watch him play.

[@axsys212]

@crazybasskw Yeah, he definitely is. I first heard him on the Steve Kahn electric fusion albums from the late 70's. What a great band: Lee, Gadd, Grolnick, Brecker, Bob James produced the first album and played keys on it.

[@Blueslounge]

Oh yeah, this is a great gig. Have it, but the interviews are cut away.

[@pretorious700]

Damn that rocks like nobody's business

[@kabustard]

Well said.

[@mcmillansabq]

If you only knew how many national TV commercials Will Lee has sung on... That doesn't make him a "great" vocalist, per se, but it's nothing to sneeze at. You've heard him before, whether you know it or not.

[@randyandos4344]

Yeah Will!

[@futsal1958]

Good stuff.

[@PhatJohn53]

that is fun, phatte funne!

[@beamerstrumpet]

Will has been playing with Paul Shaffer and "The worlds most dagerous band/ NBC Orchestra since 1982 and is the longest running member next to Paul. - (WIKI)- Letterman Drummer Anton Figg along with Will are two of the hadest working session guys in NY. (Both even helped ACE with his solo stuff)

[@stevenvonlinne]

Robben looks like he's 15, he is pushing 60! Amazing Band....

[@beamerstrumpet]

You can see Will on David Letterman, at least for 5 seasons,, not sure who is playing now, but Will and the drummer from Lettermans band (Anton Fig) are 2 of the hardest working session guys in NY.

[@Wesbound1]

Will, Super....

[@AnthonySgHC]

Nine people dislike this.... I only need to listen the drums intro to press like...

[@crazybasskw]

@axsys212 Should check his website and see all the commercials he sang, like in the 80's and 90's. classic stuff! Will's the MAN!

[@bibizonka]

@Billchazand You can get the DVD in stores.

[@axsys212]

Had no idea Will Lee could sing!

[@dougpeters1625]

well I know will is a world-class bass player but I had no idea he had those pipes!

[@Billchazand]

Anyone know what happened to all those great postings of Robben's gig at Ohne Filter? I loved those clips especially "The Champ" Copyright issues I guess? Real shame!

[@86rix]

Hot short guitar solo robben

[@carlosernestoprincipefuent8269]

Excelente todos y con el Peruano Alex Acuña mas.....

[@jsilence418]

Excellent. any video evidence of the old " Dreams" band kicking around ?

[@LateShowBottomEnd]

I wish!!

[@conradopaulinoguitar]

shorter impro is the best...Robben Ford, of course!!

[@6bass41r]

when was this?

[@6bass41r]

ITS FUNKY!DON'T MATTER WHAT HE DOES.

[@davidperezgonzalez1839]

Is Malach on sax or John Carmack?

[@attommas]

I keep telling people that the boy isn't just a good bass player, he can sing his @$$ off too.Also,if you've ever met Will,he's a very nice guy in which to talk music.

[@johnnylance]

Looks like a Sears Silvertone amp behind Will...

[@farawayleaf9748]

Man, I loved Robben Ford's first album. Drifted away from the blues after that. Cool stuff here.

[@Hs3u39]

That one and Larry Carlton’s were my rice and beans in high school.

[@bobbysbackingtracks]

Jack Nicholson on keys?

[@6bass41r]

IM JUST SAYING!

[@pretorious700]

That's actually what i said

[@pretorious700]

Well actually straight eighth notes and walking fours are not really "funky", but I feel you...Will makes it all breathe like funk.

[@apverhoeven2637]

U

[@cnkbassfull]

jaco pastorius guitar? jajaja

[@Pug40]

I bet the one thumbs down was done on accident :D
