Two Girls React To Eric Johnson - Cliffs Of Dover - Live

[@nintony2994]

As an aspiring Guitarist I love this man. His Guitar chops and technique, his tone and gear, his- EVERYTHING is out of this world :)

[@beansmasher4h80]

My late uncle would play this. One of my oldest childhood memories. He was always a clean person. I’d walk in his room and sit on the floor watching him. Good times🙂

[@craigwilson3214]

I liked your reaction. I am a huge Eric Johnson fan. His Cliffs of Dover live is the most beautiful music I have ever heard ever. 1 he plays super fast 2 he makes zero mistakes, 3 is blows my mind how great it sounds.

[@michaeldavid6284]

So silky smooth and a truly unique tone and touch. I got to see him over 20 years ago at a music festival with Buddy Guy. Guitar heaven for a few sweet hours.

[@larsonlee4342]

This song is a masterpiece, one of my all time favorite. It’s a relaxing song and a great cruising jam 🤟🏼 Can’t believe you young ones jam it out, rock on 🤘🏼👍🏼

[@johnanderson8096]

Saw the "White Cliffs off Dover For my 1st time in.... 1981... yes 1981... my 1st and Sadly, to Date, my last time.... Awesome Song... had never heard it.... Not Surprised at All.... These 2 Beautiful, Intelligent, Young Ladies... Always Deliver.... and as I have said before.... Give Me HOPE!!!! and Thank You.......LOVE THE STANDING "O"!!!

[@raymondrocha797]

Well said my friend! They are my favorites!

[@johnanderson8096]

Thank you Raymond... me too....@@raymondrocha797

[@ejtonefan]

Eric debuted Cliffs of Dover in early 1983, not 1981.

[@bobespirit2112]

I saw him in a small club in Houston a few weeks from this performance. EJ makes sounds other musicians don’t even know exist - he is amazing to this day and is planning to tour soon, if possible. I call him the “finest” guitarist that ever lived. 🎸

[@PapaShongo25]

Eric claims he wrote this in 5 minutes one night and said it came from a higher place. Knowing how good of a guitarist he is, I can’t find a reason to disagree with him.

[@Gregorypeckory]

Really nice to see young people digging this amazing music, really cool reaction; great energy; all the best to the two of you!

[@dougdavis8986]

When a piece of music can make people smile I think it's a success. It was nice to see you smile through it.

[@mannyb.7829]

He’s in my top 5!!!!

[@bigbrutalbassbeer410]

This one video is the only video of this version in existence! About 30+ years ago live on Austin City Limits! 🎉 He improvised on the spot A LOT of what you just watched, so this is the only place it exists!💪🏻🤘🏻

[@aldoearredondo3943]

I love this song sooo much it's so nostalgic to me personally because this song is on Guitar Hero 3 which I played religiously as a kid. This is actually the only song I know by Eric Johnson, but this song, especially the live version, will motivate me to search more of his song now. SUPER underrated guitarist. I never see him mentioned as one of the greatest of all time. Nice reaction guys! And yes, I would've have him a standing ovation!

[@joshgrant824]

One of the cleanest guitar tones and still shreds!

[@mickeyhank]

Great reaction, girls. Thank you. You truly did appreciate the excellence on display here. I love Eric, have seen him 3 or 4 times, going back to 1990. His sound is so clean! I love that guitar tone. He has a really good singing voice too. I think you'd also enjoy his songs with vocals. The ones I recommend are "Lonely in the Night"; "Friends"; "Venus Isle"; and "Battle We Have Won" -- all are excellent. I'm glad this was inspiring to both of you and Juliet, maybe it will inspire you to play more guitar. :-) Hope all is well with everything. Love from Boston.

[@squidkid2]

We are so lucky that this performance was captured on video. It's one for the ages.

[@Jonw8222]

Love Eric Johnson.. so cool to see you guys hear this for the first time.

[@Jp421JP]

Eric Johnson is a very special player. His music is good for your soul. Check out his album : Venus Isle. My favorite of his. “When the sun meets the sky “ is a great song to react to.

[@swamihuman9395]

- BTW, Eric is still alive and well, and active, and actually giving lessons on KZbin!

[@renecuellar3078]

He is an amazing TEXAS musician. I can't even begin to recommend more cuz he's just so great. He does have songs where he sings. Forever Yours is BEAUTIFUL but another instrumental is Zap! GREAT song. GREAT reaction!

[@dougdavis8986]

What's with the weird all cap stuff??

[@enative6883]

Awesome Amazing Musician!! I Seen Him Live With The Experience Hendrix Tour. He Blows Your Mind With His Solos. He’s Gonna Be In Town At Saban Theatre Next Month On The 24. His Song Desert Rose Will Blow Your Mind Too.🎸🎶

[@angelaluz405]

I'd love to see more videos like this! This one was awesome! I have not heard any of his songs for ages and had forgotten how good he was.

[@markavell7111]

If wrote a paper on the observation of thi reaction; left Brain and Right brain you girls nailed it!!!!

[@pubudu666]

You have the most beautiful smile and the way you enjoyed and lived with the song is delightful to watch.

[@AT-dp2ym]

One of the greatest guitar compositions of all time.

[@eal9698]

I was about your age when I saw this on Austin City Limits way back when...it totally changed how I perceived the electric guitar as a musical instrument, and what it could do. Hair metal and British metal were predominant guitar styles at the time, and I liked them, but Eric was something totally different...and it totally sent me on a musical journey that has been over 30 years and counting! Here's hoping he sends you both on your own journeys of musical discovery!

[@jprocker6368]

So worth going to see.I've seen him him three times...In thirty years...Whaaaat! Seriously. He is amazing

[@andrewgarin2486]

Lucky, I was going to watch Eric in 1993, and that's the reason I went to this show. Who's he opening for?...B.B. King....I didn't even know about the headliner. They were absolutely both great (they didn't play together at the show) but I'm incredibly thankful I went to that show!😊

[@quasipseudo1]

Excellent!!! His tone and performance are legendary. And for you 'youngens' actually giving this a listen, and enjoying it... bravo!!! I will sub now.

[@adrathemetaloutlaw754]

Austin Texas Legend

[@riffmeisterkl]

This song won a Grammy award.

[@markavell7111]

You Girls need to start a Band!!!! You love Music and you have talent!!

[@sneakyfox4651]

I suggested this some time ago in a comment to one of your reaction videos (but not as one of your patrons) and finally you had the time to react to this masterpiece. I'm so happy you liked it so much. Eric Johnson often improvises/varies the main theme and thus there are different live versions available, some of them quite long. However, this version is considered to be the best one.

[@shawnmichael777.]

Trail of Tears from the same concert is a masterpiece.

[@javiervillarreal2920]

I love your reactions , i like your lisent to the Carlos Santana, Soul Sacriface in the Woodstock Festival, this is great musician mexican, saludos desde México, las quiero mucho ;)

[@phoenixmichaels]

Eric was a studio/session guitarist for many years. Everyone in the industry knew who he was, but not the public. He released his first album in his mid 30's, and was an instant sensation.

[@ericjohnson2137]

Not that one but we share a name! Got to see him once warm up for Blue Oyster Cult he joined them when they played Reaper!

[@michaelescareno7048]

It's great to see your appreciation for Eric, a guitar virtuoso!! Being from Austin (Eric's hometown), I've been fortunate to see him live many times over the last 30 years. This show was recorded in 1990 for the show Austin City Limits on PBS, the longest running music show in the history of television. Eric is still recording music, so there is a huge catalog of his to listen to!!!

[@brewswillis9783]

Love me some EJ! I had this CD, he's an amazing talent!

[@shawnmichael777.]

I got the Album. Tones : )

[@rushedandlost]

Loved your review. I also liked Eric's look in the video. The Jacket is way cool. He is really a nice guy and very humble. Thanks.

[@mgdarenz]

Nice. Love him. Cleanest pure strat tone ever.

[@SimonJM]

That was some nice guitar work! Very impressive - now you know what practice can achieve, Juliet ... no pressure! :)

[@sylvesterhoward8838]

It was actually great seeing him play! One of the greatest shows I say was him at Bronco Bowl in Dallas in 1990 on Ah Via Musicom album. Highly recommend you get that album!

[@NKRWrestlingVlogs]

What a great reaction! But I’ve got a request that u will love The Doobie Brothers Black water it’s an amazing song

[@bobcarroll185]

thank you ladies, during the song you showed your reaction........thank you !

[@davidhill-fe5qq]

Thanks for the smiles from you that are catching!!!

[@tchemmer]

Thought you'd like that one. There are guitarists that are instantly recognizable, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Dick Dale, Eric Johnson, Hendrix. You don't have to be told, from the first note there is no question as to who it is. Alright, Next up is The King of the Surf Guitar, the man who invented surf guitar ( and the Fender reverb unit, true fact, he did) Dick Dale. The song he is most famous for is, "Miserlou" but that is one song in fifty years of music. Dick is no longer with us, and the world is a sadder place because of that, but through the miracle of audio tape he can still be heard. Put on your board shorts and wax up your long board, With Dick Dale the surf was always up

[@roxelbr]

Fun fact for old school latin tv viewers: The main part of Cliffs of Dover was used as an start jingle in a Celebrities Gossip Plateau Show called "Ventaneando con Paty Chapoy" hehehehehe 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

[@billofalltrades2633]

This is an awesome tune! Thanks for reacting to it!

[@KBoege]

One of the greatest guitar pieces of all time. Unique tone and unbelievable technique. He has said that he didn't want to take credit for writing it because he felt the song came from a higher power.

[@JoseTorres_74]

Thank you so much. I’ve been requesting that song to you for like ages. Gracias. 😁

[@joebarrera9741]

Finally a real guitarist one of the Greatest ever to pick up the instrument

[@cjpatz]

One thing about Eric Johnson, he never plays the same song the same way twice. You can watch him play this song at different concerts and they will all be played differently.

[@LedZep14]

Eric Johnson's masterpiece "Zap," from his "Tones" album, is one of the greatest guitar solo's that I've ever heard. Absolutely brilliant.

[@ridl8006]

pure mastery...

[@oscarnelson6922]

First rate musican and as usual top notch reaction. Thank you!!!!

[@robertperrella4194]

when eric johnson plays LIVE his INTROS to EVERY SONG are DIFFERENT every time !!!!!!!!!!!!! yes, eric johnson IS STILL TOURING !!!!!!!!!!!!!! "CLIFFS OF DOVER" is from EJ'S album "AH VIA MUSICOM"released in 1989 !!!!!!!!!!!! another song from EJ you should check out from"AH VIA MUSICOM" is "TRADEMARK" !!!!!!!!!!!! when EJ plays every note he is making a bold statement that grabs your attention ! EJ IS A TRUE VIRTUOSO guitar player !!!!!!!!!!!! EJ is the master of "HARMONIC SHREDDING"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! on average every song eric johnson plays is on average 5 to 8 minutes longer compared to the songs on his CD'S !!!!!!!!!!!! so the next song you should check out if you have not already is "TRADEMARK" because the bottom line is that eric johnson truly does have a "TRADEMARK" sound no pun intended of course !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@davidrahowkaminski]

Eric Johnson : the cleanest guitar hero ever ! Check those 2 songs from album Venus Isle: - Lonely in the night - Manathan Note that the guy seems to be very nice and accessible to his fans (on Facebook) end of transmission ^^

[@klasseact6663]

Saw Eric Johnson open for RUSH back in 1993, great concert across the board👍👍

[@MrDabulls23]

Saw Eric back in the 90’s in a hole in the wall bar, he blew the roof off the place. Cops even came and shut the show down. Got to meet him later, acted like he knew you since the 3rd grade.

[@MechaJoezilla]

Another song of his that you should check out, Dessert Rose. Great one!

[@reyabesamis1965]

Rightous also

[@NS1.]

EJ basically pulled out all stops, and used all he could to write essentially the perfect guitar instrumental song. He improvises a LOT during this live performance. It is still top notch though. If you really do want to get into extremely cool guitar music that is so good, it makes you as happy as this song did?....Check out Yngwie, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai.... And that's just for starters. If you really end up liking them, there are TONS of 'guitar gods' to get into. There's one I'd like to watch yall experience for the first time...👉 "Yngwie Malmsteen - 'Black Star' Live at Budokan" 👈 😎

[@raymondrocha797]

LONG LIVE THE QUEENS OF REACTION VIDEOS!! DANA'S FAITH!!!!

[@rhoward9302]

"Cliffs of Dover" is one of the best instrumental guitar songs I've ever heard. I tend to prefer the album version over live versions because its short and to the point. I don't know that the 2 1/2 minutes of noodling at the start was really necessary, especially for newer fans. But once the song proper starts, it's GREAT. I think the genius is that it's difficult to play, but it's built around a really simple repeating melody that helps anchor the song. My other favorite EJ song is actually a Christmas song. His version of "The First Nowell" is perfect. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJKteGVsZdF4jrM

[@soysaucecoupons7758]

Eric is my favorite guitarist. Been a fan of his since like 1990. Oh, and I must apologize, but the sky is not the limit. There is no limit. With God, all things are possible. ALL THINGS. Infinity is the limit. The universe is ours, and we can make our own if we wanted, with God. Peace.

[@gsmithstudio1]

The song is great but that tone of the guitar !! Amazing!! Love that tone!

[@MRBrien77]

Check out his song SRV. Welcome to Erick Johnson

[@VIDSTORAGE]

Eric killed this one ,he made a nane for himself but just never heard much out of him after this . Reminds me of Dixie Dregs Long Distance Runner at the start ,,, check that one out ......

[@stevemd6488]

Yea true, but he was always like the guitarist's guitarist. On one of the G3 concerts Steve Vai actually stops playing just to watch EJ.

[@davidwilson2425]

It warms my old heart to see two Bonnie lassies loving music no matter what type.keep up the good work.maybe you'll like a Scottish band called del amitri.hat full of rain is a really great album.if you haven't tried them before that is.stay safe.

[@samrakkc8595]

I loved seeing how you guys lift your eyebrows ; widen your eyes and stare at the camera. This song is BAE

[@bruja275]

Great job ladies!! Eric Johnson rocks! Since you like guitar....Check out some of the performances by the Experience Hendrix Tour here on KZbin. It is an awesome collections of guitarists, including Eric Johnson, all playing Jimmy Hendrix. I went to the show here in Austin at ACL Live ~2 years ago and it was one of the best concerts ever. Maybe you can react to one of the performances? :-)

[@allendesalme197]

There is a jazz guitarist from Arlington and Dallas, TX named Clint Strong who is twice this fast and incredibly clean when he wants to be. My understanding is he has taken to some drugs but is still in his fifties and just an incredible player. This guy here is pretty incredible himself!!!!

[@ejtonefan]

Clint Strong had a stroke in 2023 and resides in a nursing home in Ft. Worth, Texas.

[@jasonhutcherson6224]

Eric Johnson is a Great/Awesome And Fun Guitarist. But if you wanna dive down the Guitar Virtuoso rabbit hole check out Anything Tina S! But best starters would be Tina S Moonlight Sonata Cover Or Dragonforce Through the Fire And aflame. Or Her Steve Vai cover For The Love of God ! She will blow your mind!!!!

[@sneakyfox4651]

You cannot not smile to this song. It's impossible.

[@marioantoniocrespoMexican92]

Please do reaction of Luis Miguel pensar en a ti vivo el concertó his voice & power is unbelievable. Is voice is superhuman. All of luis Miguel live performances are very legendary

[@ShreddFly]

Hey guys what's up! You guys are absolutely right. If you have the passion and you persevere you can do it. I'm glad people get inspiration from music like that. Rock on! God.bless.you! Peace!

[@shanelaing3779]

If you want some great guitar playing from the 70s Check out Peter Frampton "Do you feel like we do" on Midnight Special. He uses a talk box as well which you dont see nowadays. Truly awesome

[@kevingoode4960]

You ladies know Ive seen all of your videos. But thank your Pop for turning you on to an OG of guitar. He was has tought some of the best Axe players in the world. Watch the G3 Concert with him and Joe Satriani and Steve Via. YEEEEE!!!🌹🌹

[@corm1000]

This is a great piece of music, my complaint of Eric Johnson is why hasn't he written anything comprable to this since 1988.

[@jlead2850]

my idol eric johnson

[@buisyman]

Your eyes got as big as dinner plates and he hadn't even started the song yet, lol

[@leonherinx129]

Hello beautiful girls. The clothes he's wearing looks like Jimi Hendrix. I play acoustic guitar and mandoline, but not electric guitar. The solo is great,the lics are fenomenal. Love you girls ❤️❤️ Love greetings Leon 🇳🇱🇺🇲

[@Kyuslydian]

You've got the love for it. That's where it starts. Word of warning it takes a lot of hard work and effort but the pay off is worth it. Film your progress. In 5 years you'll be amazed at your progress. In 10 years you'll be good. In 20 who knows?

[@Marcelorock]

Ohhhh...it's so great...

[@scottamaro1985]

I enjoy your channel and I love how you embrace the sounds of the '80s. If you like guitar rock you should listen to some Van Halen.

[@riffmeisterkl]

Also those who know him well says he’s an even better piano player. He composes some of his songs on piano.

[@danieljodrey8863]

Y'all are still killing it!! Did you get updated tickets for The Warning concert? Other great virtuosos on guitar in the same vein as Eric are Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. ✌💖🎼

[@iiinailii7733]

He plays it like hes free from the idea of scales

[@jgarcom8]

what are scales

[@iiinailii7733]

@@jgarcom8 sequences of notes. For example; doe ray me fa so la tee doe. thats a major scale. Its a happy sounding scale. I hope this helps

[@Dragonblaster1]

Erics’s portamento, legato and dynamic control are first-rate.

[@RobertMJohnson]

yes, and his absolute new presentation of musicality within the pentatonic scale is unreal. tone? insane and signature

[@RC-cf7yu]

Search Trademark, try it. I heard it played on Austin Blues Radio.

I prefer the songs were he or another vocalist is singing and he is playing, but this is still amazing. Great reaction. Cheers!
