I was at this concert: very good souvenir from Toulouse (south of France). Bob is incredible, he makes you laugh, thrill, think, and before all, he makes you feel the Music. If you have the oppurtunity to see him live, RUN to the concert!
..Bob, a big giant weight has just been ripped off of my shoulders while watching this!!! I really think I might be able to find my roots again... Thank you!!!!
Just wanted to thank you for this great synopsis on music. I first saw it a few years ago and fiind myself watching it again and again over the years...it really helps remind me of what's important about living life as a musician. Thanks again. God bless
Bob was a treasure and the world is somewhat diminished with his passing. So few musicians and performers have grasped the true meaning of music to this degree, and even fewer have put it into practice. RIP my brother. I hope we meet again.
We were honored to have him perform at the Unvarnished Music Festival. Great performer & musician and even better human being. He is about four time zones ahead of the rest of the world. latcho drom-Bob Brozman bill keitel
I was thinking about getting a brass body resonator and went looking for youtube vids showing BBR's...and found Bob..then forgot why I was watching...then went back a week later for more Bob. I've played AT making music all my adult life, and to hear someone else clearly and plainly justify my style of improvisational play is just awesome. Bob is truly a master, of stage, mind and music. I only wish I'd discovered him sooner in life. Bravo! As Arthur Dent would say. Thank the almighty Bob!
Bob is amazing, both as a person and as a musician. I can only dream of being able to interpret music at such an amazing level! A true inspiration, genius personified!
For those people who don't understand why there is talking in this video: It is simple--it is an interview. He is answering questions being asked of him. Plenty of music-only clips of Bob on youtube
As a musician watching this, it is inspiring, not only to hear mastery of an instrument, but also to see the passion for the music is awesome. Also Bob Brozman singing minnie the moocher in french is somehow incredibly badass.
I was lucky to attend his masterclass and concert last night in Spalding. I never gave rhythm a thought but he has got more RHYTHM than rhythm itself and he has changed my out look as a musician any body can learn a a guitar by tab but it takes a real musician to understand RHYTHM. Thankyou Bob for opening up my eyes:)
Quelle belle leçon, et philosophie de vie! Merci Bob! You're such a mentor for millions of us. Continue, please continue to educate us. Mario Pronovost
As few already said, for me too this is one of the most worthful videos on UA-cam. The reason? I can watch Bob Brozman talk and play for over twenty minutes. Fucking long. Vive Bob Brozman, vive la technologie d'Internet et vidéos!
It's like your feelings are a language nobody else speaks and you're alone, mute and the only translator that you have is this. (the guitar) I saw Bob perform a few years back and I felt so alive and inspired after his show that it had a profound effect on my playing. Bob is in a league of his own when it comes to thinking and expressing his hard learned observations about music and people. He is one in a handful of musicians capable of full and honest expression.
Bob est un amour de type, généreux, vivant, combatif, inspirant, il incarne la contre-culture et en même temps passe le relais au jeunes. Il est un pédagogue avertis! Testé et approuvé il repasse en France à Toulouse en Avril prochain. A voir à tout prix!!! On joue à donf, Brother Bob!
It seems we loss a great an inspirational Musician daily. I'd seen Bob live and he was awesome as a player and entertainer. Now I understand that he was a philosopher as well. I ultimately agree with everything he said as along as one understands that there are great players in every decade and style and even if they buy into the corporate success model they still can be exception. RIP Bob, you are still an inspiration and I will share your words.
You are an inspiration to any one and every one that likes anything good in this life! People may talk or scream or act to express there true self or what they feel, you do that with your "sound"! Hope you continue to inspire people around the wold for many years to come! ;)
Totally love what he's saying - so on my wavelength about the universality of music. Apart from the fact that he out-classes me by miles as a musician, I reckon he'd be a real hoot to jam with.
To me Bob brozman is our times Roy Smeck .He can play any stringed instument he wants to.Hes is one of the very few who can drive the National guitars to it full potensial.Bob is a very good friend of music.

Listen at about 19.20 - he plays Smoke On The Water! And I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was a little joke he just slipped in there. Great bloke and very thought provoking. I'll be watching this again a few times.
Hi Bob hows tricks? Glad i finally found some of your stuff on youtube. I saw you at the Band on the Wall in Manchester, a long time ago, I am a friend of Bill (the guitar man),Just wanted to say WOW!! and thanks for the memory!! Pete Scott
As you like the Hindustani slide guitar you will be pleased to know that I have just posted 4 tracks from Bob Brozman's concert in Luton last week. Two of the tracks are Chaturangui pieces! Amazing!
You are an inspiration, I have not come close... yet. I would be honerd if you would consider my video response. I love to play, it makes me feel good and listening to you dose the same.
Excellent video...wonderful insights particularly regarding the rhythmic approach to colonial versus colonized music. However, while I loved the hard science explanation of what happens.
love the playing, although all of creation praises their maker. I can only imagine the Bob B's, the Jimi H's, the stevie ray's, who would glorify God with their music.
Well I hope I don't need to become a Leftist to "get it" musicly speaking.But I do really enjoy your "Radical" views on music.A musician should always speak from the heart.I can stand the politics that's in you as long as you keep sharing the music that's in you ;)
We can tell you it is not "pre-rehearsed" or even rehearsed....he is just used to tryng to express himself clearly. Still, agree/disagree is a good thing... to stimulate discussion of any kind!
@brunodmtl To clarify, I was talking about the lowest common denominators of pop music, which is NOT the same thing as SIMPLE music!! Much of the best music in the world is SIMPLE. But Britney music is just stupid, and made ONLY for making money, not for advancing any art form particularly IMHO As to the rock died comment, I agree that in ANY era, and in ANY genre, there will always be SOME good music. I was talking more about the way music is marketed. And I agree 100% about youtube +net
Excellent video...wonderful insights particularly regarding the rhythmic approach to music. However, while I loved the hard science explanation of what happens. I don't like the employment of magic. Unless you meant to use 'magic' in a semantical sense as in 'the underlying essence of the world that science doesn't understand and in fact never will'. For me, the wonder of awareness and the world around us lies in the incredibly potent mystery..no invocations required. Love your musical style!

I just watched it for the third time, and I still got something. This guy was a prophet.
I've loved and revisited this video for years RIP Bob Brozman
..Bob, a big giant weight has just been ripped off of my shoulders while watching this!!!
I really think I might be able to find my roots again...
Thank you!!!!
I miss you so much and the pain isnt getting better. PLEASE come back to us and teach us more. please dont be gone.

Bob deserves a greater audience...great stuff

wow. That made my day. It's suprising how rare it is these days to hear someone speak so candidly about their art.
As a musician watching this, it is inspiring, not only to hear mastery of an instrument, but also to see the passion for the music is awesome. Also Bob Brozman singing minnie the moocher in french is somehow incredibly badass.
i will miss you forever bob brozman. you are amazing. i am so honored to have been your friend. xo
Excellent work, and inspirational. So much said that needs to be said, and said well at that.
Thank you Bob!

I am ashamed to say I never heard of him. He's brilliant !!!! Thanks for introducing me to him.

Vive Bob Brozman, vive la technologie d'Internet et vidéos!
That was the most inspiring 23 minutes I have had in a very long time. Some real "A-ha!" moments. Way cool! Mr. Brozman has a new fan.

RIP Bob...
what a Human being he was...
What a loss for Mankind, at a moment when such minds would have been needed the most. So early...
Thankyou Bob!
Thank you so much for this!
I love it because he plays sounds Ive never heard before.
Thank you!
Hah' I am acually seeing him next month at a very small pub, I cannot wait to meet this incredible musician.
Great film!! Thanks for being such an inspiration Bob!!!
Bob est un amour de type, généreux, vivant, combatif, inspirant, il incarne la contre-culture et en même temps passe le relais au jeunes. Il est un pédagogue avertis!
Testé et approuvé il repasse en France à Toulouse en Avril prochain. A voir à tout prix!!!
On joue à donf, Brother Bob!
Bob you are a true inspiration (that word again!!)
thank you :)
this man is brilliant. so captivating, makes me wanna learn alot more music theory.

Groovy old hippie! I likes. Good music, great thoughts. Keep on rockin'!
I totally needed to hear him say, 'Play'. Thanks bro.
Totally love what he's saying - so on my wavelength about the universality of music. Apart from the fact that he out-classes me by miles as a musician, I reckon he'd be a real hoot to jam with.
my favourite person outside of my family in the world.........i love him.

he makes so many good points.
RIP BOB.. we will always have youtube..
He´s the man... nothing more to add
As you like the Hindustani slide guitar you will be pleased to know that I have just posted 4 tracks from Bob Brozman's concert in Luton last week. Two of the tracks are Chaturangui pieces! Amazing!
This guy is a thrue force of Nature.
Haha, that's awesome. Also note that it was released in 1972. The year rock & roll became rock.
Verdades como puños, un personaje con la cabeza muy bien amueblada, estos son los genios del siglo XXI
So sorry to learn of your passing, Bob.
You are an inspiration, I have not come close... yet. I would be honerd if you would consider my video response. I love to play, it makes me feel good and listening to you dose the same.
anyone know more about the intro music which sounds very interesting
I'm inclined to agree. Wonderful video.
It's called a Chaturangui; it's a type of Hindustani slide guitar.
keep going bob
Excellent video...wonderful insights particularly regarding the rhythmic approach to colonial versus colonized music. However, while I loved the hard science explanation of what happens.

Very inspiring... but when I listen to the Black Crowes I don't think Rock and roll died in 1972...
The name of the song at the end?(which he played even around 10:00..)

I wish the interviewer had asked him what he thought of Ted Nugent.
17:37 to 18:05 Hoyl Shit!!!!
I'm Jewish, and I say don't worry about it dude.
Just try not to destroy the planet
Art has a liberal, leftist bias. Thanks, Bob.
