For Jenny & Mark

[@johnmitchelljr]

Sorry I don’t have endless funds to fly and drive to concerts. God bless cell phones and people who care to share music. Thank you. The musical gods love Mr. Cooder.

[@thomaskelly3362]

March 15, 2023. Happy 76th to Ry Cooder! Damn, I been listening to him over 50 years now and still can't get enough.

[@user-er3qn9pj8j]

Iwas ,there,. live. Iearnd so much just by listening your music.thankso much.

[@anthonyshiach5049]

Still probably best concert I’ve ever seen was Ry Cooder at SEC in Glasgow on “Get Rhythm” tour with one of best bands ever, Steve Douglas on sax, Flaco on accordion and Harry Dean Stanton just strolling on stage for his vocal track off the album!! Superb stuff!

[@jerryakehurst]

I saw the London leg of the same tour - definitely a good one

[@philturner6642]

Anthony.. thanks.... lifelong player.ive always been mesmerized by him...I caught him opening for Clapton....many were also blown away...I had an advantage.i knew who he was and what to expect...

[@writingforgodot]

....God I love this....and Ry Cooder throughout all his amazing history. A stellar poet-musician. Check him out; Ry is up there in a class with Van and all his (very few) peers.. .

[@kauhajoenadventtiseurakunt4949]

totally agree

[@roderickbalt8993]

I had literally the exact same thought about him and Van. I can think of a few others but one specifically I wanted to mention who shares something rare with Ry is Prince. They don't even have to play their guitar very much at all, it's a certain kind of authority. By the way I'm not really a Prince fan or know much about his music but I did notice that!

[@dewimatthews6037]

Van...you mean the skater shoes right?

[@richardtoland2624]

Ry and the band are fascinating and so are the Hamiltones!

[@timhalley6987]

Ry plays and God takes a coffee break to listen.

[@johnclapzucker3145]

❤.

[@user-jy3io4iz2p]

I would not be surprised.

[@alarmerads]

Det tackar jag mycket för!!!

[@base4d]

Cooder and the late great Lowell George, the cream of the slide blues crop. That bass sax on 'Treat a Stranger Right'....!!!

[@rodjones117]

Happy to say my wife and I were there.

[@anniejo1355]

Ry is still showing me that which is beautiful and right and good about living and navigating these most difficult times. I admire him so much. And he still smokes everyone else! God Bless you, Ry Cooder

[@johngarrett8791]

Isaw this set in Glasgow - if they toured again I'd go and see them as often as I could - a beautiful event

[@johnvarner3375]

I had never heard the closing song before, 99 and 1/2 Won't Do, and it's a great gospel rocker that rolls with power. I will be playing this a lot. If you have trouble getting going in the morning, play this.

[@thomaskelly3362]

Lots of versions. Wilson Pickett had a hit with it a long time ago (1965-66???)

[@philliphamilton5776]

Such a blessing to this world....

[@megaton51]

Heavenly Ry, thank you.

[@francoisebeylie2923]

Nous y étions aussi, presque mille kilomètres aller-retour et 2 jours à Paris ; la ville paraissait bien vide le lendemain ...c'était la sixième fois que je pouvais l'apprécier, lui et les artistes qui l'accompagnaient , et c'est toujours jubilatoire .Ce n'est pas étonnant qu'il ait été enroué , en fait je m'y attendais, sachant tous les concerts qu'ils ont assurés les mois précédents , surtout qu'il ne fait pas semblant de chanter... Respect , Mr Ry Cooder !

[@yvestison4429]

Ni d'être un excellent guitariste

[@francoisebeylie2923]

@@yvestison4429 C'est tellement évident pour moi que je ne pense pas à le mentionner...

[@patrickdemeyer8992]

Ry, you are a genius

[@thomaskelly3362]

There's all kinds of lists about the 100 best guitarists, or the best whatevers. Ry's on almost all of them, but so what? You simply cannot quantify the art created by great artists. You listen, or see, or read, and you KNOW because it moves you. Ry captures and gives us something that touches people, people from every background. Anitamay040550, thank you for posting this.

[@thomaskelly3362]

Not at all...thank you for posting this. You probably know that Ry Cooder and Paris immediately recalls his great soundtrack to Wim Wenders's Paris, Texas.

[@johnnyp8979]

Ry played a film score(couple songs), in the 1984 WIM WENDERS film: PARIS, TEXAS. One song in particular which very beautiful is a Mexican (1915) expatriates song titled: CANCION MIXTECA sung by Harry Dean Stanton. Really 👍's up. !

[@sterlingfury]

I think his voice is only gotten better with age❤❤❤

A trick: you can watch series on flixzone. Been using it for watching a lot of movies these days.

@Atlas Dallas Definitely, I've been watching on flixzone} for since november myself :D

[@jackdaly425]

Much Love for This Guy Right Here

[@eduardaltabaisal5927]

Great!! Mr.Cooder

[@paoloonelli22]

It's no a matter of mastery on playing and singing. No there is a sweet and of course bitter awardness about human condition right now. Roots at his best. The soul cries and laughs . Ry Cooder's music now sounds like a prayer. A giant essential. And we move...

[@LukeMaynard]

This is incredible. I got to see Ry on this same tour at Massey Hall in Toronto. It was one of the best concerts of my life, and this is just like being there all over again, right down to almost the same setlist. I don't know how you got the sound so good!

[@mayudona6587]

Thankyou!

I missed Ry's London show so this is very special. Many thanks

[@timonvh2603]

Thanks for posting this. We saw the show in Amsterdam two weeks earlier.

[@ahenshawful]

thank you

[@lucianodifrancesco6887]

Great!

[@TheHSoko]

We were there! great show

[@juantablas47]

Que bonito,, es una estrella ¡¡¡¡

[@stefanwyz5543]

I was there too! Thank you so much!

[@TheClemcaster]

Wonderful. I'm intrigued to see Ry using a thumb-pick. I started using one about 7 months ago...couldn't be heard out on the street - I often wonder how the old time guys could be heard in the same place or in noisy juke joints...I digress. I sincerely hope he comes back some time...I missed this tour, so very greatful for these postings.

[@wingandaprayer]

The old guys used resonator guitars and/or heavy strings...but maybe people actually listened back then..after all they wouldnt be hearing recorded music all day at work...

[@ronaldh8446]

I found it curious to see him using one as well, particularly on Prodigal Son. His studio version of the song (which is awesome) he's not using one. But live, I suppose, gives him a lift with the other musicians onstage with him. Saw him in NYC on this tour. Been waiting 30 years to see him live. It was special.

[@TheClemcaster]

@@wingandaprayer I think that it's certainly true that if you wanted music way back when, you'd need someone to come and play...people would certainly be more attentive under those circumstances. there's music every damn where now. It's lost it's value in many ways...you can't move for bands - don't get me going - when I started in '77, even then, being a musician was a bit of a novelty. Having said that, guitarists as good as Ry Cooder are still at a premium.

[@philippeselamme1088]

J'y étais. Merci

[@yvestison4429]

Ry Cooder = Eric Clapton = B B King = Jimmy Hendrix = Carlos Santana = etc, etc... Rien que que des bons...!

Concert

[@wingandaprayer]

Good..but nothing like as good as the Glasgow concert...pity they didnt record that one....no doubt due to Ry having a heavy cold..hope hes made a full recovery.

[@alanthorne6363]

His London gig was excellent too

[@philturner6642]

He is influenced by just about the whole spectrum of influences..a musicians musician.

[@simonsbuddy1806]

What brand/model guitar is he playing at outset?

[@jimtoohey7242]

Gold Foil law suit pickups

[@swankmotee]

Whose playing all the synth pad stuff? The sax player or is his son programming all of it?

[@SergioFerreiraDeAzevedo]

I AM tired. I can not Saw you. I lesaten . Ok obrigado ❤❤❤❤❤

[@michelmuller7270]

le cameraman un peu juste!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Chavski]

Horrible picture and worse sound. I'm sure Ry and the band were really chuffed to have your phone in their faces throughout this performance and now your unauthorized footage of their gig up on KZbin. I saw this tour and, as always with Ry, it was a deeply spiritual experience. Please put your phone down so you're not distracting and irritating the performers and the ticket buying audience around you so that everyone can share a special moment together, because that's the whole point! Let's ban all phones at gigs and let the professionals shoot, record and distribute the artist's material appropriately. Just sayin'.

[@davelamb4465]

shit camera work . i felt seasick

[@twangbarfly]

Should have shelled out and bought a ticket for the show and filmed it yourself so we could see the video chops of an obviously great pro - in his head that is..... but it's easier to come on here and bitch and whinge, eh?
