Richie Sambora, Joe Bonamassa, Orianthi ~The Entire Gig at Maui Sugar Mill For Midnight Mission

Filmed by Linda Moke in 1080 HD~Impromptu gig for Charity. Proceeds going to the Midnight Mission~

[@mmiller867]

They play guitar; Joe plays music.

[@MarkGuitar]

I saw exactly the same comment on a Derek Trucks/Joe Bona jam vid...except It was Derek that plays music and Joe Plays the guitar :D

[@unkymark]

So. Which one would you kick outta bed, Mr Guitar?

[@davidthomason6963]

Miller

[@elenaskrypnikova3472]

I think , it's right statement . In my opinion , Joe plays music whith all heart and soul ! He is amasing !

[@llaneromemoscll]

Well they're playing his gig, look the other way, might be different

[@gj5250]

Sambora is flying out of his mind. He thinks he's running the show but actually Joe is the leader of this band

[@Cmiller85]

I went to this gig on my own on my honeymoon from the UK and to see Joe play, that close up, is something that I will never forget.

[@rockerdog65]

Bet your wife won't forget it either! ;o)

[@kappagame8449]

I'd love this to be my honeymoon!!

[@ericsleith3635]

Orianthi is so damn beautiful........ and if you just listen to her speak.......her voice will melt your heart. And she is massively talented even though she is relegated to 3rd spot. She deserves MORE recognition!

[@izaklitwar1509]

She plays so effortlesly! Never had JB as my favourite guitarist and Richie tries toohard to play blues. Jb's style of playing is slick and polished but Orianthi is different. She's incredibly talented and plays blues like an old black blues player.

[@DaveDexterMusic]

I mean, she's... fine, but given you rated her looks and voice over her playing, I suspect that's what you're really into.

[@carlwilliams6977]

She can really sing as well! I'm surprised she hasn't been more successful then she's has.. She's a triple threat if there ever was one!

Orianthi is AWESOME . Can't say the same for R Sambora, he seems lost.

[@PortoAntico]

Orianthi she is lovely and humble , she puts some new dialogue and grace in the jam thanks god . i see the other guys appreciating her guitaring and personality.

[@jobo-and-mo]

I love Joe’s playing. I’ve admired how well he plays with others. I appreciate that even more now. Kudos to bass player and drummer as well.

[@HarrySlaterHarrySlaterMusic]

This is a great video. It shows the difference between being a musician and being a guitar player. Joe leads a good example on how to be a great musician, not just guitar player...

[@ourempire1]

whats sad is that is what sambora was always known for. If he could get on stage without a beer and without orianthi he might be ok. when i think of sambora i dont think of these turdy jams i think of lovely bits of guitar playing on these days album. joe is class. sambora and ori arent a good mix. she is never subtle with her playing and doesnt change her tone. her voice is equally samey. richie still has a bit of soul left in his however.

[@ourempire1]

+Stephen Kennedy joes tone is lovely rounded and creamy.hes class

[@HarrySlaterHarrySlaterMusic]

I grew up listening to the old Bon Jovi records. Sambora was just great. I think he was okay in this.. playing was a little off at points but it was acceptable for a jam. Bonamassa always seems to be on form no matter where he stands.

[@TheDeadman419]

maybe I'm wrong but I think Richie might be a tad out of touch with the whole blues-jamming-in-a-bar scene. He's probably so used to only playing these big shows as the star or as the main guitarist of Bon Jovi over the decades, that he's just always in that mindset. Orianthi too but she usually plays a different genre than blues so I don't blame her for being a bit out of her element. Joe on the other hand knows how to take it easy and just groove with the music, and he waits his turn to solo or trade a lick. When he's not playing lead, he's being real subtle so as not to overshadow the others. Richie, on the other hand, acts like he's playing lead even when someone else is soloing.

[@bp820]

FYI... Richie was so drunk he couldn't tune or play his guitar....

[@simmonsallisongroup6295]

OMG!! WALKING ALL OVER JOES SOLOS!!!! GIVE THE CAT SOME SPACE TO STRETCH OUT!!! Every time he got going to some low cool parts RS walked all over his Solos.

[@aleforce1409]

Joe Bonamassa does a great job allowing each guitar player (2 additional guitarists in this video) some room to express themselves. Amazing musicians!

[@anthonycrystal33]

LOL!

[@thabilsterone]

This is great! Thanks very much for posting it!

[@Utschick1]

I miss Richie Sambora he's what kept bonjovi on the map. Go for it Richie keep reaching for your dreams!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@texastull]

Joe is just on a completely other level here. The other two are frankly outclassed, but it was for charity and they look like they are having fun.

[@federicocittadini1969]

Great video! Thank you ...

This was excruciating!

[@MrAlfam]

Bonamassa's speed,fluency and specially accuracy is uncanny

[@cw6371]

He's kind of like Paul Gilbert in the aspect of staying melodic no matter how fast he gets.

[@williamglass7806]

i hadn't picked up a guitar in 30 years, but playin with these guys is really helpin me to get back in the groove. you couldn't do that 30 years ago.

[@Cyman666]

Not surprised Jon got rid of Richie....thank God Joe is a gracious talent! Saves every song!

[@aaronkahn5555]

Richie left Bon Jovi in the middle of the tour without telling anyone at the time. him and Jon have since made up but Jon DID NOT get rid of Richie nor did he want him to go.

[@josephdunne2446]

Quit talking out your ass Simon Lickcock . Richie's the man

[@freepressright]

Jon never got rid of Richie. Richie is a great player, but I understand he became quite the drunkard. I hope he is doing better.

[@anthonydecesare1086]

This Joe can really play well and effortlessly and people are knocking Richie but Richie is just letting loose and having fun.. trying to stir some creative juices.. looking worn out but he's 57.. nice to see the enthusiasm and genuine joy for music in him

[@guidohatzis.8201]

Whilst I have only seen Joe live, 3 times ( every time he's come to Perth, Australia) I have to say he smoked Ori and Ritchie. Chalk and cheese. I'm guessing Joe is a lot more hands on, where as Ritchie has spent his whole career with minions doing his stage work. I've been to many pubs and listened to blues, so for what it is, it would've been a dream gig. Tight drummer and bass player might I add. In 2 weeks I'm coming to America on a family holiday and I'll be ticking off a bucket list item of visiting Norm's store. Hopefully get to meet the Italian stallion in Mark Agnesi. I keep having dreams of Joe just happening to be there. I doubt it, but that's what dreams are all about. Love to meet Norm and Nick as well.

looked like Richie was having all kinds of tech problems to me that took ages to sort out.

This is amazing to watch and to see how Orianthi doesn't slack, she plays as hard as all the others and she's just always ready. Love seeing these different styles on the same stage.

Joe is killer as always! His talent really shines and he is one of the most soulful players in the business! However, I'm not into Ritchie or Orianthi's style of playing. Thank you for sharing!

[@robertbutterworth3714]

Thanks Miss Moke, this is so cool of you to share these amazing, UN-televised events with us. I'm sorry there are so many music "Experts" that make negative comments about Icons that they couldn't even look in the eye and speak to without wetting themselves but that seems to be normal in any comment section doesn't it? All I know is They Rock and You Rock for bringing them to us so Thanks again!

[@haroldbagley6679]

Sambora isn't an icon he was a player in a relatively average band and fact is I'm a better guitarist than Richie but the point so many were trying to make is he added nothing to the foundation he just swung around on the rafters

[@bluesbum2004]

Has to be one of the most jammin versions of Walk in my shadow ever!!!

[@Mummy1310]

This is really good, Joe really cooks with his singing makes the band. Richie is grrreat no old repeats, bass is funny solid. Orianthi is just greater than everyone makes the band when she wants to. Everybody thinks they are one too but no. To coina fraze everybody is a student. I thank you all for this video. Comments are nice too. Great music I'm sad.

Don't know how you find and get front row to all these amazing gigs but holy CRAP!. Orinthi lookin her usual Michael Jackson's LAST guitarist and Carlos' torch bearer self (!). Richie's been slippery when wet since the day he was born and, well, there's Joe

[@jakobdamien6544]

Joe is the Master!!!

[@tdrewke]

I have to agree that Mr. Sambora was not having a great improv day, although I do think his first solo on Pride and Joy was brief and tasty. You have to understand a classic hard rocker in a blues environment; they fall back on heavier riffs than are called for. Mr. Bonamassa is just plain excellent as he has been for some time now; a few years ago I (wrongly) dismissed him as a technician with no soul, but I have to admit he's proved me to be totally wrong, and kudos to him. Finally, I've got to disagree with the naysayers about Orianthi, who I think is both very good and underrated, and I suspect too many of you want to dismiss her because she isn't a man. Really listen to what she's playing on "Going Down" and tell me she's not both rockin' and bluesy. Thanks to Linda for bringing this to us.

[@rogerdale1994]

Thom Drewke Agreed...she, like many classically trained guitarist have no shortage of trick licks transitioning from scale to scale and in between. If anything, she seems slightly bored.. but there is no denying, Joe is the fuckin man.

[@bluespig1]

You know nothing about blues & guitar if you believe your first & second sentence.

[@rogerdale1994]

camo 69 I know nothing about guitar.... I guess the last 35 years of playing are of no utility whatsoever. Thanks for clearing it all up for me in such an authoritative, all knowing omnipotent manner. Douche bag.

[@tialynn7830]

She has got to get away from Sambora. He was walking all over both of them. She is underrated.

[@tdrewke]

I just now read your comment from several months ago. Thanks for covering the "douche bag" aspect of things. 8^) And at least in this video clip, Joe is def the man. Re Orianthi, whether RS is good for her, or not, is a personal issue for the two of them. Her skills are clearly first rate, something that Michael Jackson obviously felt was the case, since she was hired for the tour that, sadly, killed him. I don't think he hired her for any reason other than he thought she was very good at what she does. I enjoy recounting the guitar heros Michael had previously worked with: Larry Carlton, Eddie Van Halen, Steve Stevens, Slash, and Carlos Santana come to mind. Orianthi was asked to follow in their footsteps.

[@user-Natarito]

The bass and drums killed it , BTW!! Tough gig with all that guitar!

Saw her a couple of months ago. She did some covers of Hendrix and Santana. Spot on and unbelievable! She is really holding back here.

[@israelarochena]

well of course this is not in the least a guitar competition, but people can give their opinion and there's nothing wrong with it, that being said, JB is in another league. RS and Ori - big fan here - are good, but as far as guitar technique and improvisation is concerned, JB is from another planet.

[@rattlinurcage3]

Damn this is killer !!

[@kieranwalsh1560]

I was just reading some of these negative comments about Richie Sambora and Orianthi. I think that you are being hypercritical and that you are looking for fault, because you have this "agenda" in which you are compelled to rank the players. So one of them you "Lionize," that is Joe, and for the other two you are just searching for fault. Come on, this is a jam. These people are relaxed and loose and going out on a limb for the audience who love the dynamics, whether good or bad, of live music. These musicians are all playing their hearts out for a dynamite charity, and you don't have to sit in your armchair and search for fault. Just be big and recognize these people for the great players that they are, and also for their general musicianship in being able to put such a great jam together. Dynamite, I love 'em all, I was so happy to discover Richie in the first video, what a great guy and what an expressive player. I hadn't heard him as a solo artist before. And wow, he has not been idle, he is really versatile and he can really hold his own. Great-sounding singer too. How great.

[@drinkingpoolwater]

ori is so good at playing that most songs shes just coasting thru.

[@class5bodyworks]

I think so too. She is definitely holding back being humble.

[@OGStazzy]

Jesus Christ I’m a beginner and I can spot over saturation. It’s like they didn’t even pay attention to Joe clearly letting them play without interruption but as soon as he has his turn to speak it’s like they want to start playing more. If I was in that audience someone would’ve heard me say “Can Joe please Play!?” This man has become a respected individual in my eyes for being so humble

[@georgedownie5350]

Loose the drunk, loose the girl, and you have a band, and a very good one. Bonamassa’s a musician, not just a guitarist.

[@class5bodyworks]

Bonamassa is a one trick blues pony. Orianthi can mix it up. She's more diverse. Saw her live do some Hendrix and Santana that I doubt Joe could pull off. Different styles. Better voice too

[@rosbro09]

I would like to donate money for Sambora to get guitar lessons.

[@JustinGillenMusic]

The band is rad. And they all really dig Joe. I feel like the other 2 guitarists struggle to listen to the dynamics of the drummer and aren't feeding off the band. This was fun to watch regardless. I am a guitarist and have stuff posted on youtube so feel free to judge me as a guitar player as I am judging them. But Joe was really working with the band from what I hear.

[@anthonybiusodrumming]

Yeah Joe was cueing and hand signals the whole night. I’m not sure R or O could see him clearly. And none of this was talked about before hand. Not even the songs. Haha. Joe led the whole thing and was a blast.

[@danberndtson]

Well I'm a huge fan of both guitarists, my two favourite guitarists to be precise, so reading these comments I can see who are fans of each side. I've watched the end of that and while Richies end solo is nowhere near as good as Joe's, I fail to see the look of disgust, in fact the look on Joes face never changes. I grew up idolising Sambora, but like all guitarists they lose their dexterity in the fingers, but sometimes there brain doesn't want to believe that. Joe however is in his prime years, but at some stage a young pretender will over take him. So let's not pick and snipe, let's just marvel at two fantastic guitarists who give a lot of fans, a lot of pleasure. Peace guys ✌✌✌✌

[@missmoke007thebestmusicvideos]

Joe never gave a look of disgust on stage! He stayed pro the whole time and never showed if he got ticked off while he was up there. He just played the best he could under the circumstances, although, I'm sure he wasn't having fun. This was a totally unrehearsed Jam and It was for a good cause, the audience had a good time and they all gave their time to help raise money for the homeless.

[@danberndtson]

+missmoke007 completely agree, and must say I'm not a fan of Ori's tone. It's more than a little piercing on the ears.

[@teemlee51]

This was an excellent jam all around. Interesting to read ppl pluck what they see as the worst of a situation and focus on it... sad. Thanks for the vid!

[@teemlee51]

[@iamkenman101]

" they lose their dexterity in the fingers"?? Hahaha. Check out Robin Trower, Jeff Beck, Keith Richards, Billy Gibbons, and the other "old guys". They sure haven't lost dexterity in their fingers. And Bonamassa's prime years are well ahead of him. Joe and Ritchie sound great here. Orianthi has WAY too much distortion. Her sound is too white for blues.

[@agnostyx]

[@terraboundmisfit]

Ori is the badass in this video!!!

[@Lanearndt]

[@bluesdog88]

Looks like they're having some fun! Isn't that what it's all about?

[@inthapocket378]

amazing how many haters who can't play a lick will criticize. Orianthi is a badass in her own right, doesn't need "aging rockers" to hang onto!

[@voxac30withstrat]

Orianthi overplays all the time. Sambora? Well, he plays better than me and he's rich because of it. Joe? Aweswome as always

[@class5bodyworks]

[@john123456889]

the difference between a good guitarist and a GREAT guitarist is the great guitar player doesn't try to show every trick they have to impress the crowd, they play what is relevant to the music. richie got dull very quick and so did the girl. joe is the man, He's got excellent technique but does he need to keep showing it over and over? no he doesn't, he prefers to keep it musical.

[@paulj312002]

You said it...

[@sawdust6968]

ecactly right, joe smoked them BIG TIME!!with tone, touch and taste

[@pacochuquiure7807]

Yeah, i agree but you have to consider first that Richie is on decline because of his abuse of alcohol and drugs...and also i believe he has some confidence problem regarding his future as a musician. After Bon Jovi he has been basically off and in the past (while he was young) he couldn't pull a successful solo career either. Richie in his prime is one of the top guitarists of rock-hard rock of all time. Bonamassa is one of the top guitarists of blues of today. Each one of them on their prime are untouchable.

[@monkeyrevolution1964]

It is true

[@danielbarza8600]

The issue here is that it is really easy to be embarrassed when playing next to Bonamassa. Yes, he was out of key, and the band was not rehearsed. He also basically just pulled out all of his Bon Jovi bag of tricks in every solo. He's not used to simply jamming through an extended simple blues song. That's not what made him famous. He made his name with big riffs and then the occasional short solo with a flurry of notes that fit the song. It doesn't translate to a bar band setting in this case.

[@p_molnar]
