    At 71 Robben Ford finally reaches puberty. His singing is better than ever, the PRS suits him well. Awsome band too.

      Definitely agree his vocal sounds invigorated - maybe less forced, great to hear him this way. But I still I prefer him on his Les Paul and Dumble rig - maybe a bit more grit.. but I’m not complaining!

      there are so many,,,,,, but thanks to this performance now i see where he is really coming from and I dig it man
      and at the tender age of 65 will begin an in depth study of this great player

      to add, I want to mention a player, he is the brother of the late great Danny Kalb blues project circa 1967, and earlier,) and he ,btw, was accepting sudents in 1979
      when I managed to go for a couple of years
      ,,, so . like I started to say, get this , he has a brother, who is still playing
      I bet h is not a day under 70
      he is slight in stature versus Danny who was rather rotund, as thanks to Covid now I am as Rotund,
      anyway I would say that the brother plays in this style as Robbin
      his name is same last name Kalb
      Jonathen
      and there are a few things up here on UA-cam
      just wanted to share that,,,,,,,,,,

      @@bradt.3555 Odd coz I had the opposite experience. I went through several PRS and sold them all. Just not a fan. Not enough character/uniqueness for me, tonally, compared to my vintage stuff. Solid tho and lots of pple play them. I didn't dig the neck profiles either. First thing I did was change the pups. Wasn't enough. Glad RF is getting his due with a sig model. Not his first btw. I have a few. Including a Fender 1984 RF Elite. And a cple Baker B1's. Robben has had a lot of great builders make gits for him. When he walked up in this video I thought at first he brought his a Baker. Amazing how he can pick up local musos and make it work. Great players they are. But for an artist like RF that's taking quite a chance. So great it worked out well. I guess he's not traveling with his guys anymore.

    I always love to hear (and SEE) Robben displaying his playing full of subtlety and magic. He knows it all, all the tricks of the trade. He is flashy in a way that no other guitar hero is -- by holding back his extraordinary pick skills and not displaying useless scales and boring guitar runs. To say that he is tasteful is a truism, He touches my deepest musical sensibility and I am quite grateful for him being in the business for so long. Long live Robber Ford and his music!

    • @warrenbutterfield4208
      @warrenbutterfield4208 Рік тому +2

      Very nice comment Roberto. Certainly Robben can play….. I’m drawn back to the days decades ago when I first discovered him.
      Everybody is drawn to the new PRS… Gee wiz another black guitar!
      However your name reminds me of some thing more nostalgic.
      I had two different Ford Pinto’s back in the day… The first one was a light mossy green and we nicknamed it ‘the Minto.’. Of course playing with the cassette player (Possibly Robben Ford maybe playing North Carolina at the time I was rewinding) it died in a head on crash Thankfully not from the deadly rear. My girlfriend wasn’t too impressed when I was trying to pick her up I told her we may be taking the bus.
      Pinto number two was more exotic and Ford had come around to finally admitting these things blow faster than an M 80 when struck from behind:::
      This one had kind of a junky dirty antique brass finish so we dubbed it “the copper coffin”…. My brother was last seen driving it on or around 1981. It was dying a slow death and he decided to go 4 wheeling with a friend and a case of Budweiser in the woods in northern New Jersey. My brother and his friend were experienced motocross riders and decided to take ‘the copper coffin’ trail riding. They literally went speeding over the backside of a hill in the woods. The car was airborne and jammed and stopped mid air between two trees about 30 inches off the ground. Like me luckily they didn’t put either of their heads through the windshield but they probably came close.
      They abandoned ship, brought the rest of the case of cold ones home (it was really less than a mile) Went back two days later to remove the Vin numbers. I think the car sat there rusting although you couldn’t tell by the color… For a number of years till some greedy developer went in with a backhoe there and destroyed our private Unadilla.
      Crime of the century, to this day unsolved well till I opened my big mouth,.

      So why is Carlos Santana squeezing all kinds of nuance out of his these days and although this has a pristine tone it almost sounds like Robin is playing ‘elevator blues’
      I remember finding one of his early albums in the bargain bin with North Carolina on it. The tone and the sound on that record is stellar. I’ve seen him a couple times he just doesn’t seem to get there and I hate saying that.

      @@kenster865 I think Mr. Ford had a bit of a moving away from Dumbles. He went to get one fixed by someone other than Dumble (before he died) and that's apparently a serious no no. Dumble was very quirky about that. The only person he wanted touching his amps was him. He would black ball you if you deviated. Dumbles were, after all, modded Fenders. So a vintage Fender with a treble boost could do the trick.

    This is 'peak Robben' if you ask me.....him performing with a full band. I've seen him twice recently, but without keys.

      I think Holdsworth traveled with a trio for economic reasons. I think the Greg Koch thing works because he has the organ player to play chords and bass lines...I think that what Holdsworth was doing didn't really lend itself to being an organ trio. The same with Scott Henderson in order for these guys to continue making a living the have to make concessions. Heck even Yngwie is playing with a stripped down group

      Yes agree, and Steve Hunt was a great foil for Allan as he “got” his harmonic concept. Alan Pasqua brought a different flavour which suited the Tony Williams material, and Kei Akagi took a more conventional fusion approach, whilst Gordon Beck brought that British jazz sensibility that just worked for the material they recorded together.

    This is a beautiful concert (and unlike many youtuben live concerts with a good quality), I would like to see the second part.
    Robben Ford is of course an icon in his style and has mostly recorded with the best musicians like Charlie Haden, Kenny Garret, Larry Goldings, ... But this band here feels really perfect for Ford's music, they should record an album of this concert and I would buy it. The bass players timing and groove, the drummers orchestrates a lot and adds a lot of colours but it's never too much, he has an incredible ear for detail without going over the top. And the opening tune they played in trio was really great playing, a nice theme with the three parts. It may sound like a "warm up" jam but It feels like they know the tune very well and have played it before (which it deserves)
