@@abelzeliang7877 Yes, and it seems it sometimes happens with international artist during live concerts in Japan. Search your favourite artist and see. The atmosphere maybe.
Both Paul Gilbert and Steve Vai were also playing at this concert. Steve played some very tasty tunes too. But this song was probably my favorite from this concert. This is the best version of this song I've come across. Andy was in the zone. Lol.
A guy doing construction at our house was listening to Andy Timmons. I heard the music and just had to ask him, "Who the hell is this?" I've now become an Andy Timmons fan...what a guitarist.
It is indeed, it feels if Andy's guitar is not plugged into an amp, but straight into his heart. I got tears in my eyes so many times listening to this gem.
@@paullevine1813 Have you heard Jubilant also? A gem also, but most are great. I hope he puts that one on a future record and I hope he makes it twice as long.
Every guitarist knows there are just some days when you can’t put a foot wrong . Something is being channeled through you . Your tone , your choice of notes ,your feel and musical influences all come together at once . It’s rear and it’s magic . Andy Timmons most certainly found his inner guitar god in this performance . Insane .
Those days are so rare. Adapting to snail house songs, is like trying to play polyphia. Elite guitarist struggle tryin to learn polyphia. Younger players with less experience seem to learn faster, they practice but not like 8 hours daily. Young guitarist learn rhythm blues chops originally Hendrix (muddy waters) adding flamenco, thump technique that creates totallynew style. Eighties shredders Paul Gilbert Marty Friedman are terrified. Steve vai is only one, I seen admit he cant do what polyphia does. Polyphia can play anything Paul Gilbert, or yngyang, on spot. They don’t play acoustic like polyphia. Lmao!!
@@dannyhood4007I appreciate polyphia, but they can’t make the guitar cry like Andy and others. They don’t ring much bell into my ears. I appreciate the technical evolution and the melodic layering. I personally learned bits of playing god and it is so fun to play. Yet it is just fun, not much soul in it.
This is from the Ibanez 90th Anniversary concert, Andy definitely stole the show that night. He blew all the other greats out of the water with this song. 🤘🏼✌🏼
Then you should stop being late at the party. The first popular post of this clip has over 3 million views.. The original video is the Ibanez 90th anniversary, also ft. Steva Vai, Simon Phillips and Paul Gilbert..
Many guitarists have tried to cover this song, but none can resemble the touch, the feeling, the bending, the harmonic, etc. None comes close. Andy is just different... His guitar is truly crying... 😢😢
This is without a doubt the most gut wrenching electric guitar performance to date. It can get no better. This version of Andy’s, Cry for You , is the electric guitar bible. It’s the human soul , exposed in every aspect………….God bless Andy
I sort of agree, but I think Andy gets all the credit he deserves from feeling that music in the way he does and then being able to translate it into unbelievable guitar playing. Credit comes from another place for Andy, I feel sure.
This guitar performance should be taught not only in every music school but also in regular schools just to show to the students what music can offer and what a human being, like Andy, can have in his pure soul
Seen this clip hundreds of times, possibly the most intense ever rendition of one of the most beautiful instrumentals ever, brings tears to my eyes, still every single time.
I thought Tender Surrender was the thing to beat but Cry For You just knock the shit out of everything.A truly instrumental masterpiece.Andy can really let his guitar pour out emotions.On the way,Sweet soul was also one such example.Pure emotions.
I'm pretty much speechless here. I used to be obsessed with this song and never saw this, not only is this song an absolute masterpiece, but this performance right here is a masterpiece in itself. A timeless moment right here, with so many powerful moments in it. Just legendary.
Andy dont hear music, he feels it. I love that. Im a music enthusiast and just a beginner, intermediate guitar player, nothing really pro and can feel the same way when i hear this live version or the album.version. make faces and things like that. Eargasmic song. What a monster guitarist
Yes , " make faces and Things like " ... think i know what you mean , Andys Feelings and the Guitar is melting to a unit . He could Play in darkness , cause He don't have Look on the strings . Alvin Lee and many others was such Players. Greetings from HAMBURG 😎 🎸🎶
@@helgereichert6094 "andy feelings and the guitar is melting to a unit". those words defines this performance. 👍. Greetings to Hamburg from the very south of Chile.🤘
I just saw Andy at a local guitar clinic last week. Only 30 people in the place. He played this song with same emotion then as he did in this video. The guy is always on fire….
i almost quit playing guitar but everytime i listen to andy its like an addiction it makes me crave more learning new things about guitar playing...tone ,phrasing, creating tension between chord changes this guy is everything....
I have been playing for 30 years and only dream of playing like this everytime I hear this it makes me remember what made me fall in love with guitar I know I’ll never been on this level true inspiration
My guitar teacher showed me this video when I was starting some advanced lessons with him. After this video, I learned three things: 1.- It's possible to become one with your guitar and go into full beast mode when you love what you're doing and you play for passion, not for a living. 2.- Andy Timmons became to me, in that very moment, one of my absolute references to rock instrumental guitar. 3.- When you learn how to tell a story with your guitar, lyrics are not needed. This is the BEST instrumental ballad I've heard in my whole life. Thank you Andy!!!!
Sou saxofonista…mas foi esse cara que me fez ter vontade de tocar guitarra…olha esse feeling…não tem igual no mundo. Gosto de ouvir Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, John Petrucci(inclusive vi ao vivo Dream Theater) mas Andy Timmons é diferente…a guitarra parece que quer falar, cantar, ganhar vida!
Very few people in the world can let their spirit shine so freely. This is just so soulful. A masterpiece was made this evening for sure. God bless you Andy
Cada nota, dinamica, cambio de acorde, Ritmo, Tono (tanto de la batería, bajo y Teclados), Mezcla, ETC... Todo en el lugar correcto, MAGISTRAL. La mejor Version en todo. Gracias Andy y a los chicos que lo acompañan por regalarnos esta pieza tan hermosa.
Still love this song after almost 20 years, especially love watching this live performance, how he always playing with so much emotion, and you can tell he's really feeling those notes he played, and it makes you feeling it too.. he only care about music he plays and not acting like a cool guitar god on stage. such pure expression from a musician is not something you can easily find in other guitarists
Sometimes an artist gets a glimpse of the divine and in that moment channels it to their playing. Andy can do no wrong here, whatever he plays on a whim will be gold.
One of the few Guitarvirtuoso that can play a story and you can follow it without telling a word.. Music is a language and Mr. Timmons is in my humble opinion one of the best musical linguists
quel merveille ce morceaux ! il faut que je l'écoute au moins une foi par jour, des frissons a chaque fois ! grand merci a Andy Timmons et a Simon Phillips a la batterie et bien sur au reste du band pour nous procurez autan d'émotions !!! et bravo au preneur de son exceptionnel !!!!
I don't believe that I'm seeing this for the first time right now! This is F*** crazy!!! His is insane!!! The sound, the feel, the tone, the love, everything is just perfect... 🎸🙃
Wonderful musician. Super emotional. He is able to put his outstanding technique in second place to his music. The incredible thing is that I play guitar since the 90s and I only discovered Andy Timmons this year. Shame on me :-). I'm going to listen to all his discography for sure.
Conozco a Steve Vay y Satriani desde hace mas de 25 años y hoy es la primera vez que escucho a este hombre. Si los dos anteriores son dioses, él también merece estar en el Olimpo.
Quite possibly the most emotive guitar performance (as it relates to song title....okay, in general) ever!!!! I have always loved the studio version(s)....but this? WOW!
The most heart to fingers performance of all time... guitar instrumental ballad of the highest kind... composed and played to PERFECTION! Hats off Andy... you already have left something magical behind for generations to come.. I wish we all could say the same!
He was the best guitarist in the universe on that day
101% agree
I agree with you. I'm tremendously jealous of whoever was there that day :-).
Agreed 1000000 percent. How he just gets lost into a state of trance is almost unbelievable.
@@abelzeliang7877 Yes, and it seems it sometimes happens with international artist during live concerts in Japan. Search your favourite artist and see. The atmosphere maybe.

If you're a guitar player, this is hands down the best 8 minutes on UA-cam.
This and Gary Moore’s performance at fender 50th concert.
probably something like Psalms 23 'cause he wrote it for the victims of 911.
One hundred Percent Agree...
Of course 🍻
Yes!
Still one of the best instrumental rock ballads ever played on guitar. 2022
Hola!! Que sorpresa encontrarte acá. Siempre me entretengo tocando sobre tus backing tracks...
Saludos y gracias por tu trabajo!!
Old but gold.
Totally agree
Best of HImself
Agreed.
A guy doing construction at our house was listening to Andy Timmons. I heard the music and just had to ask him, "Who the hell is this?" I've now become an Andy Timmons fan...what a guitarist.
It's THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL for our guitar world ❤

Aaaaa
Gosto do Andy pela aproximação com o Satriani.
just because this is amazing., who is here in Nov 2024?
me.. its unforgettable performance, the crying guitar still surrounding in my head
kkk7lllkkyy7
I am
Here Every week of the year mate
December 2024
Am not exaggerating when I say this version of cry for you changed my life. Still gives me goosebumps 15 years later.
One of the fewest record that i listen with same hype since my childhood (I'm 30 next week btw)
for me, this is one of the most emotional instrumental song of all time!!
It is indeed, it feels if Andy's guitar is not plugged into an amp, but straight into his heart. I got tears in my eyes so many times listening to this gem.
Andy's On Your Way Sweet Soul is right up there with this. The man has got the gift.
@@paullevine1813 Have you heard Jubilant also? A gem also, but most are great. I hope he puts that one on a future record and I hope he makes it twice as long.
see this.. ua-cam.com/video/vqZ89G6z4UE/v-deo.html
check out 'Gone' If you haven't already by andy
One of the best live performances you’ll ever hear…flawless
This song should be named "Cry While Listening". It evokes so many emotions.
I can't see people engaging in creating more music like this. This world is dying, unfortunately.
Sad, not sad - but true.
If there was a guitar bible, this would be one of the most important chapters..
Andy we love you!
The Book of Timmons. Amen

@@dannyhood4007 PS: their music is so caged and quantized that it doesn’t allow the freedom of playing outside in terms of tempo and tone.
Weird take. Andy Timmons is a god. He wasn't just magically good "on this day." He's always like this.
Wow this is truly not just taking it to the next level but to many next levels
this one of the most stunning performances ever. so much emotion
Un ici il you impoli ou il ou ici ou il il i tui
Absolutely right
He had to have sold his soul. It should be illegal to be this good.
I totally agree.
Does anyone else experience this amazing performance as intensely erotic?
Jesus!!!!! a door was opened here to somewhere else. Astounding emotional playing.
Yes. I believe what you say.
This is from the Ibanez 90th Anniversary concert, Andy definitely stole the show that night. He blew all the other greats out of the water with this song. 🤘🏼✌🏼
Totally agree
Powerhead from the same show was amazing as well
one of the best live performances of all
Yes!
250,000 views?!!!! This should have 250,000,000 views. It’s a shame the world is missing out on this guy....... what a player, just damn......

underrated he is..

His guitar is truly crying... 😢😢
It wouldn't be a stretch to say Andy could be the one to carry the torch now Jeff Beck's gone.
Yrs😢
dude the face
The Undisputed King of Tone!
-Eric Johnson has entered the chat- ;)
I think he lost it once he moved on from the Laney amps. :(
Mmm, Gilmore.
this dude literally owned the earth during the set that night
wtf legit mindblowing. The emotion, the composition, the performance, the hair... everything is perfect
This is without a doubt the most gut wrenching electric guitar performance to date. It can get no better. This version of Andy’s, Cry for You , is the electric guitar bible. It’s the human soul , exposed in every aspect………….God bless Andy
I mean.. This man deserves more recognition..He gave his soul on this!
I sort of agree, but I think Andy gets all the credit he deserves from feeling that music in the way he does and then being able to translate it into unbelievable guitar playing. Credit comes from another place for Andy, I feel sure.

Song of my life.
Yeah!!!
Ladies and gentlemen, this version of this song is without a doubt, the epitome of instrumental rock ballads.
He gives Gary Moore a run for his money.
for a guitarist there are moments in life when he floats above the stage while playing... this is the moment
2 Years later and I still have goose bumps from this, wow.
Andy, please never stop.
Lost my mom due to covid in September 2021. This song...... I'm speechless.
Im sorry for your lost, shes on haven now
I thought Tender Surrender was the thing to beat but Cry For You just knock the shit out of everything.A truly instrumental masterpiece.Andy can really let his guitar pour out emotions.On the way,Sweet soul was also one such example.Pure emotions.
Generally, this is one of the best guitar pieces ever. NOT the only one. But one of them, absolutely.
He felt everything,and so do i
No words wow.....Over 40 years playing guitar and experience from thousands of appearances and sessions wow ...... Gary would be proud of you ...
One of the best instrumental rock ballads ever played on guitar !!!!!!!

Only 30?
So sad...
I'm literally out of breath after watching him play. Best live performance I have ever seen.
Finally this world has "official bootlegs". :D
For me that’s the most emotional performance I have seen in my life, even at this time I haven’t seen a performance like this
Master Simon Phillips on drums ! 🥁🙌🏽
Talent of Simon Phillips as a drummer do perfectly matches beautiful melody of Andy Timmons. Guys on the base and keyboard are the top notch as well.
Simon gets around a bit, right?
His drums sound great in this video!
The entire band doing a great job
Yes!!!!!
I think this song must have better batery/orkestra performance. Because they dont touch timmons performance.
That smile at 5:02 tells everybody that's watching that this is a performance of a lifetime. Don't Blink.
i almost quit playing guitar but everytime i listen to andy its like an addiction it makes me crave more learning new things about guitar playing...tone ,phrasing, creating tension between chord changes this guy is everything....
master piece legendary excellence !! Such feeling and emotion coming through captivating you wow
Andy really is the ultimate guitarist. Absolutely perfect tone, feel and technique, it can't get any better than this!!
exactly
killer tone
My favourite Andy Timmons song...can listen to this for hours!
Super Awesome 🙏
I still get chills every time I listen to this.
This is the best guitar solo I have ever heard or watched being played - bar none. Just so much emotion and feeling...
When You make some masterpiece like this, You become immortal.
i knew he was good, but watching this I realize I was wrong. He is someone who music flows through - a rare talent...
I have been playing for 30 years and only dream of playing like this everytime I hear this it makes me remember what made me fall in love with guitar I know I’ll never been on this level true inspiration
Andy is in a league of own outstanding skill
In this song he really makes his guitar cry for someone i can feel it... Master of Masters!
The guitar is crying for him🙃
Andy是地球上最伟大的吉他手之一，他重新定义了吉他的推弦，评论区所有的朋友们，你们都是这个世界上最棒的人。

Two words:
Gary Moore.
On the other hand,
This guy (Timmons) slipped passed me to my great chagrin. Absolutely brilliant.
@@gauloiseguy Gary is fckn Awesome!
one of THE BEST N GREAT SOLO in the world guitar history. Absolutely!!🤩
This song was played at my grandpa’s memorial. Even people that have never heard this song before could feel it.
Sometimes an artist gets a glimpse of the divine and in that moment channels it to their playing. Andy can do no wrong here, whatever he plays on a whim will be gold.
Sweet mother of dragons. I didn't think it could possibly be as good as the studio cut. I'm not crying you're crying
Yesyesyes
One of the few Guitarvirtuoso that can play a story and you can follow it without telling a word.. Music is a language and Mr. Timmons is in my humble opinion one of the best musical linguists
One of the finest examples of guitar work ever recorded. Utterly superb.
Looked to buy this DVD on your site. Couldn't find a UK version. Is this not available for DVD Region 2?
Apparently the dvd is region free people. Confirmed by the man himself via email. Mine is winging it's way to me as we speak.
The best performance ever. Simon Philips, Ibanez, Laney...a perfect moment that lead to a "spiritual" play...Flawlessly
Ian Dias precisely!!
This performance is untouchable on so many levels. The holy grail of guitar ballads.
This is "the" emotional guitar.period.
Go to Dhalif Ali for emotional guitar instrumentals
The day this was recorded, Andy was the greatest guitarist in the world bar None!

For real!
Great tone
I have never heard a more touching piece
he was on top of the world on that night! every guitar heroes watching below him!
Such a brilliant composition...and brilliantly performed..so much of emotion and communication in his guitar 👏🙌🙏
I watched the 480p video for YEARS
Thank you for the full HD version ♥
Wonderful musician. Super emotional. He is able to put his outstanding technique in second place to his music. The incredible thing is that I play guitar since the 90s and I only discovered Andy Timmons this year. Shame on me :-). I'm going to listen to all his discography for sure.
DIVINE!
Conozco a Steve Vay y Satriani desde hace mas de 25 años y hoy es la primera vez que escucho a este hombre. Si los dos anteriores son dioses, él también merece estar en el Olimpo.
Just happened on this… Andy is awesome, this is very Metheny-esque inspired “Are you going with me” live version. Great playing! Great tone!
내 인생의 최고의 곡 입니다.
This is going to become a timeless masterpiece one day ❤
The video which introduced me to the melodic guitar god....Andy timmons... thanks for this video...
The crystallization of virtuosity and excessive performance dynamic,genius.
Ibanez 90th Anniversary live concert in 1997 (with Paul Gilbert & Steve Vai)!!! 23 years ago!!!!!!
Like it was filmed yesterday... 🙏
Quite possibly the most emotive guitar performance (as it relates to song title....okay, in general) ever!!!! I have always loved the studio version(s)....but this? WOW!
The most heart to fingers performance of all time... guitar instrumental ballad of the highest kind... composed and played to PERFECTION!
Hats off Andy... you already have left something magical behind for generations to come.. I wish we all could say the same!
Wow, it is even better seeing and hearing the second time around. Just beautiful and powerful music from his soul...
The best perfomances Andy Timmons Guitar experience
