Those are the greatest experiences in live music - the totally unexpected brilliance of a musician who you never heard of, but blows you away. I love those moments.
I do believe he called them a bunch of reptiles..... Keith stole the idea for his tunings and claimed it as his own ideas!!! Ie the one guitar in open d and a second guitar in open g!!!!
Mr Ry Cooder ist viel zu intellektuell, kognitiv begabt, interkulturell und wissenschaftlich interessiert, als dass er zu den doch wohl eher schlichten Geistern der Stones passen würde. Was wäre uns entgangen, wenn er in der irgendwie immer gleichen Geld-Druck-Maschine namens Rolling Stones verkommen wäre und dort die zweite Geige nach Keith Richards hätte spielen müssen? God bless Ry Cooder went his own way. Sein Gitarrenspiel macht mich jedesmal sooooooo glücklich und fröhlich. Für mich ist Ry Cooder die beste Medizin. Ich wünschte, ich hätte das Glück gehabt, ihn persönlich kennen zu lernen. Ich glaube, er ist. Ein außergewöhnliches Talent, das stets bescheiden geblieben ist und einen warmherzigen Umgang mit Menschen pflegt, offen, neugierig, lernwillig und einfach irgendwie pur gut. Ich liebe seine musikalischen Explorationen und wenn ich eine Slide-Gitarre höre, kann ich blind sagen: Das ist mein Mann, Ry Cooder. Denn weicher, pointierter und schöner geht es eben nicht. Masterclass. Ich wünsche ihm alles Gute. Er hat allein für das, was seine Musik mit mir macht, nur das Allerbeste verdient. Thank you, Sir.
This is at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz, you never knew who would blow into town and play, Santana, Van Morrison, Ry Cooder, David Lindley, Robert Palmer, Neil Young, Bonnie Raitt..
Every once in a while I leaf through my old LP collection and two albums seem to find their way to my turntable, both Ry Cooder albums, "Borderline" and "Bop Till You Drop". I highly recommend them to anyone who wants to hear real music by real musicians. My wonderful news is that I now have a USB turntable and have recorded these two records to one CD! Amazing...
@@ryreinhardt Mickey .... I'm not sure I'd go that far, but if you think so, well you're a true Cooder fan. BTW - Your home run race with Roger Marris is a sports highlight for so many 'Boomers' - me included. Those juiced up home run hitters of a few years ago feasted on below average pitching and modern equipment (bats) and the only record they deserve is the most overpaid! I'm just sayin... - G.P.
Beautiful records - The "Borderline" song is sung gorgeously by Harry Dean Stanton. Bop Till You Drop - Does that have Down In Hollywood? One of my favorite later Cooder songs. I first fell in love with Ry Cooder albums after seeing him live at Toronto's Riverboat coffeehouse. A very intimate club where I got to sit close to the stage, and could watch the fingerwork up close and personal. He had just released Into the Purple Valley, which to this day is still my favorite album of his. "Taxes on the Farmer Feeds Us All" still retains my absolute #1 favorite guitar solo of all time. Breathtakingly beautiful. I have had every note of that solo memorized for probably 40 years or more - that's how many times I've listened to it. And finally, I was such a fan, that I named my favorite dog after him. My beloved Border Collie / Bernese Mountain Dog mix - Cooder. Who is still fondly remembered 30 years after his death. He was a good dog. I recall Ry's honorary degree bequeathed to him by Queen's University in Kingston, Canada. I would have loved to have been there. His music influenced my guitar playing a lot - but I wisely never tried to copy his slide work. That - is just too scared to touch!
Oh My, Kindred Brother, the Soulful Ry Cooder! "Crazy 'Bout An Automobile", and the Rockin' Moula Banda Rhythm Aces! Flaco Jimenez on the Accordion, and the Great Ry Cooder on Guitar! Rocking Perfection!...Peace!
They've been playing Ry Cooder a lot on XM50 "The Loft" recently. My musician friend tells me he's one of the great musicians. I'm surprised more people haven't heard of him. Great stuff!
Bobby King and Terry Evans really rock! I saw em in a small club in the early 90's and they blew me away w the tightness of their show.Listen to the Crossroads movie too for the part where the Devils gtr player duels w the Ralph Machio character great gospel singin AND Ry on gtr for Ralphs parts.........smokin!
I love watching him work. He is so passionately connected to what he plays, and I have never once seen him get "showy." He doesn't have to. He's the real deal. Since my early twenties, I've always known him to have the reputation of being a guitar players' guitar player. An enviable reputation to have. He was an enormous influence on me and my playing, but alas, I am but a humble lowly student to the Grand Master. Check out sometime "FDR in Trinidad." The picking will make you dizzy!
I wish the video were available on DVD; I would buy it in a heartbeat. I would be afraid to show my friends as it would obviate how I suck by comparison. Thanks for postin mbroder and thank you Ry for all the spectacular musical genius.
Ry was recording when your daddy was a teenager so he's already had a very long career...glad you have finally come to save the day and rid the world of genuine honest music. Heck, in another 20 years you'll be old enough to run for president with the Oatmeal party - to heck with Ry, a dandy slogan.
no one except someone who would drag their son off to cuba to record the last greats of the '50's would have a mind like this or the skills to pull it off is this is what went thru ry's mind the first time he heard this song? best version ever oh, how i can dig that kinda mind ry oh my thank you
OMG. Fantastic!! Today people use the term superstar far too loosely. Ry is a true superstar. Talent,appeal,longevity, he has it all in spades and more.
He was far to good to simply be a superstar. After Brian Jones died, he had a brief infatuation with the idea of becoming the 5th Rolling Stone, thought better of it (in 1969!) and went on to have a most unique career. He does appear on an obscure record from back then - "Jamming With Edward" which was a mishmash of a bunch of stuff - I believe recorded by the Stones in 1969.
Great video.This has a lot to do with the history of the american music.This is about the blues/cajun and slide guitar by the master,Ry.And please mind the huge vocal demonstration,delicious. I was looking for this song for almost 30 years.Thanks Mbroders,for sharing.Hugs from Portugal,J.G.
Ry has been all over the world, and jammed and recorded with everyone it seems - from griot players in west Africa, to obscure guitar geniuses in Okinawa Japan, and slide players IN Hawaii . A true devotee to the idea of world music. But it is the American evolution - Cajun, Blues, Jazz, Tex-Mex, Gospel, and all of it, that his greatest gifts have been given to us.
This,....all my little ear sharing friends is MUSIC from the highest possible plan of entertainment for the EARS ...turn it up and just linger within the sounds being introduced too you !!!
Wow. What a band! That's Flaco Jimenez on accordion, certainly one of the great accordion players of all time. Not to mention Jim Keltner and Van Dyke Parks...
I saw the whole documentary (well, 99% of it) last night with Q and A afterwards with Les. Evidently it was the first showing in the US. He's not sure why Ry won't let the documentary be released or shown here in the states, and he's not sure why Ry doesn't seem to care that the whole documentary is on UA-cam in pieces. Anyway, Ry can sure play and put together a band.
RY.......HAD NO IDEA..........HOW GOOD.........HE WAS ABOUT TO BECOME............ WHEN HE TEAMED UP WITH JOHN HYATT AND JIM KELTNER!!..THEN.....THE SHIT HIT THE FAN!!!!!!
What a fantastic performance from a fantastic band. Ry Cooder is my main man that's for sure! If this doesn't get your feet a movin' and your hips a shakin' ya'll are already dead and gone! Pic
Ry Cooder is one of a kind and I can't wait to hear "Pull up some dust....." I would be happy to have a tenth of his talent. (or a hundredth) He never fails to amaze me.
I saw them in London too, but I couldn't remember what year it was,so thanks for reminding me. Fabulous night, I wish he still toured. Barack should get him to play at the inauguration: he's done so much for American music.
In the mid 90s to the mid noughties weblokes would tease our mates who were "off the road" for various reasons....from legal to financial, with the "Mmmmmmm, nuthin but a rubber heel" line LOL!
Actually, while there is a resemblance to Randy Newman, the bass player is Jorge Calderon, who has also recorded and toured with El Rayo X, David Lindley's band.
The world's best back-up singers. Almost an insult to call them that, they're so good.
Yes. They are all exceptional.
When a dude is making guitar faces and mouthing every note like he does, you know he's on another level
Right? All the great guitarists seem to have an oral component to their playing. Shawn Lane and Chet Atkins come to mind. What is that?
Ry is and always has been one of the smartest and insightful musicians and educators I've ever met! The end!!!!!
yep
You were all fantastic.
How have you MET him?
My dad played Borderline for me when I was kid and I’ve been obsessed with it for 35 years. This shit is GOLD.
He sings, he dances, he plays guitar. All at once. Amazing!!!
One of the greatest all time!
Saw this bunch in a small place outside Oslo, I think in 1986, I had never heard about Ry Cooder and stumbled into the greatest concert of my life!
+Ulf Myrvold Ya man.. my first concert of actually stumbling onto this dude was the best I have ever been to in my 50 years of concert going
Ulf Myrvold - LUCKY... YOU!!! :)
Those are the greatest experiences in live music - the totally unexpected brilliance of a musician who you never heard of, but blows you away. I love those moments.
I'm so jealous. Everybody here is amazing.
Dont ry do dis ?
Converting anyone who hears his stuff?
Saint Ry?
They once asked Ry to join the Rolling Stones...he declined. I've always been very happy about that.
There is a story that they stole a melody from him (something on Let It Bleed) and Ry cried when he heard what Keith had done and given him no credit.
I do believe he called them a bunch of reptiles..... Keith stole the idea for his tunings and claimed it as his own ideas!!! Ie the one guitar in open d and a second guitar in open g!!!!
they stole the riff for honky tonk women from him

I've been into Cooder again lately after decades. Like rediscovery. Very inspiring. Just great singers he's with.
Gotta love anyone who is filming a documentary and wears a t-shirt like that!
This is at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz, you never knew who would blow into town and play, Santana, Van Morrison, Ry Cooder, David Lindley, Robert Palmer, Neil Young, Bonnie Raitt..
I loved to shoot pool, own the table and listen to live Rock & Roll. What a great bar.
Saw Los Lobos there
No auto tune,no dancers, no
fireworks
Just Garrett music by talented musicians
oh baby, I'm crazy 'bout you. Nobody has ever made me feel like this woooosch - love you always Ry Cooder.
Cracks like lightning. Name of Ry Cooder.
I know it's magic,I just flipped here and Ry Cooder is singing ..it's magic,it has to be..
Every once in a while I leaf through my old LP collection and two albums seem to find their way to my turntable, both Ry Cooder albums, "Borderline" and "Bop Till You Drop".

Ry was superb in Glasgow, Scotland some years back. SUPERB..... XXXXX
They've been playing Ry Cooder a lot on XM50 "The Loft" recently. My musician friend tells me he's one of the great musicians. I'm surprised more people haven't heard of him. Great stuff!
An American treasure , composer, musicologist, master musician.
Bobby King and Terry Evans really rock!

for the part where the Devils gtr player duels w the Ralph Machio character great gospel singin AND Ry on gtr for
Ralphs parts.........smokin!
Brilliant is the word -- just great music!!!
The first time I heard Ry Cooder I was sitting in a outdoor restaurant in Bali & he was saying. I said who the Hell is That? The rest is history
He was singing on tape
Best there is man! So good to see Ry boogie his ass off with his buddies like Flaco,
Its always great to.hear Ry Cooder, the lyrics are great! live it! ❤
Get to see Ry whenever you can, he's very special, a guitarists guitarist. I've seen good session men who cannot play his stuff, too difficult.
toujours aussi bon à écouter, merci ry cooder , tes musiciens , tes choeurs tout est parfait !!
What makes Cooder one of the best guitarists in the earth is that he is completely un showy in his playing.
I love watching him work. He is so passionately connected to what he plays, and I have never once seen him get "showy." He doesn't have to. He's the real deal. Since my early twenties, I've always known him to have the reputation of being a guitar players' guitar player. An enviable reputation to have.
He was an enormous influence on me and my playing, but alas, I am but a humble lowly student to the Grand Master.
Check out sometime "FDR in Trinidad."
The picking will make you dizzy!
I would give my eye teeth to have this DVD! Thank you so much for posting all these -- I watch them frequently.
Fantastic musicians and backing singers as good as the Temptations it doesn’t get any better than that.
Bloody magnificent
I wish the video were available on DVD; I would buy it in a heartbeat. I would be afraid to show my friends as it would obviate how I suck by comparison. Thanks for postin mbroder and thank you Ry for all the spectacular musical genius.
that boy can play
Joyous stuff! I absolutely love this!
I'm going to see him in Belfast in June! So excited, I grew up listening to his stuff!
I love Ry Cooder.
Love this song and I love Ry Cooder!!!!! Thanks for posting this!!!!!
Ry Cooder, just brilliant
Ry Cooder is TOO COOL for school!!!!
I first saw ry when he recorded a show called the old grey whistle he was out of this world big big fan since then.
mickbrod1 he’s been overlooked
Give yourself`s a treat ,and go see him in concert just the best
So there is this.AWESOME.Im sorry did you miss it? AWESOME.
Ry was recording when your daddy was a teenager so he's already had a very long career...glad you have finally come to save the day and rid the world of genuine honest music. Heck, in another 20 years you'll be old enough to run for president with the Oatmeal party - to heck with Ry, a dandy slogan.
no one except someone who would drag their son off to cuba to record the last greats of the '50's would have a mind like this or the skills to pull it off
is this is what went thru ry's mind the first time he heard this song?
best version ever
oh, how i can dig that kinda mind
ry oh my
thank you
Ry always knows who to partner with. Note Flaco Jiminez on accordian adding that Norteno flavor.
probably blasted out of his brain but a moment in musical time. Great musicians and backing singers
Awesome! Just love Ry...
OMG. Fantastic!! Today people use the term superstar far too loosely. Ry is a true superstar. Talent,appeal,longevity, he has it all in spades and more.

This is absolutely intoxicating
Heard Willie Green, Lamont Van Hook and Amy Keys last night with Lyle Lovett and his Large, Great Band. They were fabulous.
happy times . Driving with my love and listing and singing in our car❤❤❤ sweet memories
Nice!!! Thanks for the upload!
If you like this watch "The Prodigal Son" video by Ry Cooder on UA-cam. It really shows off Ry Cooder at his best.
Great video.This has a lot to do with the history of the american music.This is about the blues/cajun and slide guitar by the master,Ry.And please mind the huge vocal demonstration,delicious.

I love Slide Guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Greatest slide guitar player out there
with out a doubt
Sonny ain't bad either
He did set a very difficult standard.. for others to follow .... David Lindley + others come to mind ? ...is that ok ?
What a band! It is called soul.
Monster group!
This,....all my little ear sharing friends is MUSIC from the highest possible plan of entertainment for the EARS ...turn it up and just linger within the sounds being introduced too you !!!
Unbelievable... Cannot explain difference twixt world class...and genius...something to do with the universe...past life poetry...

Absolutely awesome performance, by perhaps the greatest band ever assembled. Love it.
You done really shcwabed the decks on that one, and you ain't tootin', you's a bruce-in'. Good one brucey baby
Ry Cooder is one of a kind and I can't wait to hear "Pull up some dust....." I would be happy to have a tenth of his talent. (or a hundredth)
He never fails to amaze me.
That is a wonderful album. Enjoy!
I have an Audio Master copy of this 1988 Concert ! Awesomeness at its Best !!!
SWEET! great vid! More, more!!!!!
I saw them in London too, but I couldn't remember what year it was,so thanks for reminding me. Fabulous night, I wish he still toured.
Barack should get him to play at the inauguration: he's done so much for American music.
I saw him in Paris (France, not Texas...) in 1988 ; it was the first time and it was marvellous !
Love Ry Cooder ★!★!★!★!★
Fantastic
OMG! COOKIN! Blown away!
In the mid 90s to the mid noughties weblokes would tease our mates who were "off the road" for various reasons....from legal to financial, with the "Mmmmmmm, nuthin but a rubber heel" line LOL!
Brilliant !!
He is so good at making his tele to sing!
If I had a chance to be reincarnated as any musician I would choose Ry. He is sublime.
The whole thing is on UA-cam now.
Actually, while there is a resemblance to Randy Newman, the bass player is Jorge Calderon, who has also recorded and toured with El Rayo X, David Lindley's band.
Happy Birthday Ry.. 66 today
Happy Birthday Lightnin' Hopkins born 101 years ago today.
