Rock In Peace, David Lindley, Just heard that you passed. We've lost way too many great musicians over the last four of five months, Jeff Beck, David Crosby, Top Topham, Kim Simmonds, and many more. I feel like there's a huge void in our music culture. I'm greatful for youtube for keeping these recordings alive and vibrant.
@@da324 MAN! You just floored me with that! This is getting very weird, we're losing the best of the Boomer and WWII generation's musicians. Gary - ROCK IN PEACE!!
Life is life and life is like that (unfortunately)... We're so lucky to have lived our lives during this astounding post WWII time period. SUCH GREAT ART AND INNOVATIONS BY FOLKS WITH TRULY FANTASTIC VISION...!!! ✨👍🥴✨
@@Da_Xman Everyday when I wake up I check for a heart beat and when I feel one, I know it's going to be a good day. I feel like a "Boomer Survivor", but I feel so fortunate to have lived through these times. I still have a zest for living and doing what I love to do, and I hope I can go on for many more years to come. I just went through the wonderful marathon of the 2023 New Orleans Jazzfest and it's always a treat to see those musicians who are older than me and still going strong, like Herbie Hancock, Charlie Musselwhite and Buddy Guy just to name a few. Keep on keeping on!
@@1blastmanMornin', Blastman! We're on the same page. And the New Orleans Jazzfest must be outta this world extraordinary. Thanks for your appreciative reply...! Just to be alive is the true definition of "wonderful". Thanks for the reminder...! ✨👍🥴👍✨
I'm a hardcore prog fan - Yes, old Genesis, Rush, whoever, but I'm a fan of anyone who can play like this. Lindley and Cooder are two of the very best, IMHO.
I had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Dave open for Bonnie Raitt in the summer of 1999. I was absolutely floored! I'm convinced wherever he had with guitar strings on it, he could make it sound*good*. I was really happy they brought him back out for the closer with Jackson Browne and everyone else. It was an incredible show!
My wife, Nanette, and I were in the audience for this incredible set. Saw so many amazing artists at Bumbershoot over the years, from country artists like K. T. Oslin, Carlene Carter and Dwight Yoakam to Lucinda Williams, Nick Lowe, Robert Cray, Sonny Landreth and East L.A. legends War. If memory serves, accordionist Flaco Jimenez also performed with Ry and David at this show.
Multi-instrumentalist David Lindley performs music that redefines the word "eclectic." Lindley, well known for his many years as the featured accompanist with Jackson Browne, and leader of his own band El Rayo-X, has long championed the concept of world music. The David Lindley electro-acoustic performance effortlessly combines American folk, blues, and bluegrass traditions with elements from African, Arabic, Asian, Celtic, Malagasy, and Turkish musical sources. Lindley incorporates an incredible array of stringed instruments including but not limited to Kona and Weissenborn Hawaiian lap steel guitar, Turkish saz and chumbus, Middle Eastern oud, and Irish bouzouki. The eye-poppingly clad "Mr. Dave's" uncanny vocal mimicry and demented sense of humor make his onstage banter a highlight of the show~~~. David Lindley grew up in southern California, first taking up the banjo as a teenager, and subsequently winning the annual Topanga canyon banjo and fiddle contest five times as he explored the American folk music tradition between 1967 and 1971 Lindley founded and lead what must now be seen as the first world music rock band, the Kaleidoscope. In 1971, Mr. Dave joined forces with Jackson Browne, serving as Jackson's most significant musical co-conspirator until 1981. In 1979, Lindley had begun working with old friend Ry Cooder on 'Bop Till you Drop' and 'The Long Riders' sound track, a musical collaboration that lasts to this day, and has spawned many recording projects and several world tours as an acoustic duo.~~~~
Not many, if any, musicians can pull that off and make it look effortless. But that's one of the signs of a true genius. They are able to make the inconceivably difficult seem so effortless and joyous. This song does it for me.
Man alive we're lucky to have these guys around playing magic the way they do and they're both roughly the same vintage :-) Fantastic as would be expected. Brilliant fun this bit :-)
Fan here since the eighties. Vividly remember seeing Ry in De Vereniging in Nijmegen in The Netherlands. His band with incredible bass singer made the whole building shake.
tasteful oooo sooo tasteful! not a wasted note but every note better than the last ; better than the next. ry colder is such the stud on guitar. that bottleneck necking with my bliss quotient.
If you watch closely, Mr. Dave is frustrated with his sound - which I noticed too, it's really thin compared to his usual weiss sound. Then his solo is kinda going nowhere, and at one point he blurts out his frustration, then drags it down into absurdity, then bounces back a bit. It's so human. Anyone who plays has had this experience and despite being a world class musician so does he.
I've got a recording of these two doing a concert at Eel River about this time. I love the intros where they just clown for a few minutes before the song.
I saw Mr. Dave and Wally Ingram open for Bonnie Raitt and Bruce Hornsby and Shawn Colvin summer of 1999. They brought Mr Dave and Ingram back for the encore and this was their closing song. Talk about sending people home on a high note.
This is not so good David at least on this song does much better by himself, where's the burning hot solos, also the tempo kills the whole song, truly pathetic.
I'm an aging boomer. We have SO much to be grateful, to have been in the time of jaw-dropping artists like these.
Two of the best vocalists and musicians ever !!!

We can add Gary Rossington to the list.

So sad to hear of his death today. My hero musical genius.

R.C. has been so very influential to talented artists everywhere

It just doesn't get any better than these 2 musical geniuses gettin' after it!
RIP to the great David Lindley. A muciscal genious.
Menuda fiesta tiene que haber en el cielo .Hasta siempre David .
This a great Duo...Ry Cooder and David Lindley is sensational on stage in performance..Rhythem is quite fantastic ..
RIP Mr Lindley. Fantastic player. 🙏🎸
Sad passing, saw David Lindley play w Jackson Browne, another legend has died this year.
My wife, Nanette, and I were in the audience for this incredible set. Saw so many amazing artists at Bumbershoot over the years, from country artists like K. T.

The only person I know with a wife named Nanette is Scott from Bruton. If this is him, email me at: theschakels@yahoo.com.
This is great! Somebody should have told me about this a long time ago!
Big WOWW from music lovers from Skopje, Macedonia! Great duo....!

Wow,you guys are great.i've been a fan of david and ry since the nineties.
Oh man, I was there. I've told several people about this show. What a treat to watch them trade songs!
Man alive we're lucky to have these guys around playing magic the way they do and they're both roughly the same vintage :-) Fantastic as would be expected. Brilliant fun this bit :-)
Slide heaven coming on.
love how Ry's amp is "dancing" behind him.....wow!! these 2 together
This is Good! Interplay is awesome and love Ry's licks and tone. David is in fine form too!
Still simply the best - now is 40 years after live in Zürich 🤍💙❤️🔥
Phantastic Guitar & Singing Feeling
R I P David Lindley.
really great listening - sunny day and slide blues just fine thank you biamaku
The great always make what they do look so easy and natural as breathing and here they are !
Two Great Musicians. Saw David Live on Stage in the 80ties.
Fan here since the eighties. Vividly remember seeing Ry in De Vereniging in Nijmegen in The Netherlands. His band with incredible bass singer made the whole building shake.
RIP Dave❤❤❤
Some of the best improvisation ever played
This is so good, watch it regularly
Me too.
@@1blastman Et moi aussi ...
I love Ry
There's a saying it's too good to be true. This is very good, true and real. Thanks so much for sharing.
tasteful oooo sooo tasteful! not a wasted note but every note better than the last ; better than the next. ry colder is such the stud on guitar. that bottleneck necking with my bliss quotient.
Saw these 2 in Auckland Town Hall New Zealand maybe 1979?? Great concert but bit too stoned and I missed some.
If you're sitting still your ears aren't working!
I do like Lindley too. He’s great.
Saw them at The Great American Music Hall in San Francisco!

pure class!
Thanks!

I saw this show yes it was that good
*_FLATHEADS FOREVER!_*
Love every version of this song they have on youtube. Slide on...
Went back an listened to a bunch of other Mercury Blues versions, so far this is my favorite. I love the slide here.
@@1blastman All the time
@@mrb4886 Now, that baseball season is nearly upon us, remember that when you get home............
SLIDE!!!!
All except Alan Jackson’s version - it sux!!
wow........I saw this show !
Incredible
I’d LOVE to hear Bonnie Raitt sit in on this as a trio. ❤️
I saw Mr. Dave and Wally Ingram open for Bonnie Raitt and Bruce Hornsby and Shawn Colvin summer of 1999. They brought Mr Dave and Ingram back for the encore and this was their closing song. Talk about sending people home on a high note.
@@mikeshaffer4912 I saw Bonnie Raitt in 1982 in Denver. Pretty sure she was drunk, but so was I.
Don't forget LOWELL GEORGE
Sonny Landreth would be a nice add here as well as Roy Rogers.
@@mikeshaffer4912 there’s a video of that encore on here.
Great
Hey now mama you look so fine, cruise around town in your mercury 49
Great lyrics
Yup!
Brillant
Bucketlist A++++
👍
👍🏻❤️❗️❗️
wish the mix was mo betta
A fine job, considering he broke a string halfway though.
This falls apart almost immediately. Lindley needs full electric, Cooder can not cut it. Both out of their element.
Yeah, Ry kind of lost it when he played the single-string non-slide solos here. I saw them together in Utrecht, Netherlands, 1995.
This is not so good David at least on this song does much better by himself, where's the burning hot solos, also the tempo kills the whole song, truly pathetic.
