Robben Ford - How deep in the blues Live 2007

[pippoantonini]

this trio is the bomb!

[SCUFFY7]

GOOD PLAYER HE NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO SING

[flowerdrop1]

this guy is so boring

[SKIPINTRO9]

Exactly! Al Pacino! Man of many talents ;-)

[Jeffum111]

Robben's trio is awesome, and that drummer kicks ass

[Jplent1]

Too much singing.

[DrThorondor]

anyone know what scales Robben uses in this piece?

[dkrumrie123]

@DrThorondor Lots of scales. Some pentatonic, minor, mixo, chromatic, and a bunch of other non diatonic stuff. He follows the chords a lot with his soloing.

[cjabluesman]

al pachino is playin drums? LoL

[TheConnord12]

kyle gas on bass

[srvgravesdime]

@TheConnord12 That's actually Travis Carlton, Larry Carlton's son!

[Pudsy440]

@TheConnord12 hehe

[Joe60ize]

Panos great !

[geetarnut]

what a nice groove,, nice chord changes, smooth,, Travis is a darn good bassist! Very smooth lines! Very tight overall, what a group, Robben is the only other blues/rock/jazz guitarist that delivers the shivers for me, thanks for posting this!

[GalaCruse2012]

Is the bass player Larry Calton's kid? Terrible sound mix

[papandreu100]

@GalaCruse2012

He is . I was lucky enough to see him live in Italy with his father's band.

Man he can play ....

[MaggoGuitar]

die guten Sachen laufen nur auf WDR!!! :D

[donottawaguitar]

top stuff

[gasforus]

@ozzy4pres Robben isn't pissed with the bassist! He and the bassist are communicating; they are not happy with the level of their monitors. At the opening of the video you'll see Robben signal the engineer to increase their monitor level, but... Meanwhile, he expresses his dismay with the bass player.

[ozzy4pres]

@gasforus nice catch. Looking closer i totally saw him signaling. Also now makes sence with the feedback at the beginning.

[ozzy4pres]

Man, Robben got pissed at that bassists a couple times through this performance...and i didn't even catch what he was messing up.

[chokerjoker4]

@ozzy4pres rythm :P

[keithyoungslash]

al pacino on the drums.

[grulloverde]

is not Robben Ford.. is Willie Nelson young..!

[jk1802]

@grulloverde when Willy was that young, he had short hair & wore a suit & tie

[zenith2070]

yep that was pretty tight right there

[forcichri82]

I have exactly the same 335 :-))))

[fernandaopk]

Toss Panos!! awesomeeeee!! :D

[sakitakungtyan]

[fishbandit]

[Dzonrid]

@Pudsy440 No, it's Severus Snape

[Pudsy440]

@Dzonrid lol ... I had to google that to see a picture ... yeah could be Severus too ... hehe

[vinstrumentals]

nice atypical solo, not your average blues guitar, lots of sweet jazz sensibility

[stoofbuis]

woaw,great rhytmsection.

[davidp158]

Tos Panos lays down the nastiest grooves!!! Bravo...

[sgtBicho]

Master!!

[Semach4444]

Now THAT is the classic 335 tone.

[gasforus]

Robben Ford is one of the coolist and more expressive blues/fusion players to come along in quite some time. His playing is sweet, melodic, and a little "outside". He doesn't waste time and energy wanking on speedy pentatonic/blues licks, as so many others!

[gruvintubin]

Blues Deluxe showcased Robben Ford at least a decade ago. I recently rediscovered him listening to some old tapes. All three are fantastic musicians in this video.

[pretorious700]

I have a '63 es335 sunburst with the stop tailpiece. I run it through and old 50 watt Marshall head with a couple of pedals. That thing will sing a note FOREVER.

[kiloch]

gah this video makes me want a gibson so bad

[dcacoustic]

Wow! Rhythm section rocks!

[JeffKnight]

I love the blues.

[kerranz]

I admit I was a bit shocked at how loud Robben likes it...he sounds so clean...I saw these three just on their return that year and while I didn't mind, you CAN"T ignore them in any way.

A serious 3-headed monster that show was!

[maidoodesu]

nice !  です.

[JOHNNYG99X]

at 0.46 he looks a bit annoyed at the bass player.. not sure why ?

[pinsk94]

@JOHNNYG99X I don't think it is at the bass player but the soundman regarding the monitors. @ 0.35 you see him raising his thumb like he wants his monitor or amp louder. Then looked mad as he probably wasn't paying attention lol!!!!!!!

[trabisou]

@pinsk94 yo this is travis the bass player. you're right on the money this was the first song of the set and the monitors were horrible. and no, none of us could get the monitor enginer's attention for anything lol. PEACE

[pinsk94]

@trabisou Hey Travis, big fan of yours and your dads, along with Robben of course!! If you get real bored, let me know what you think of my videos / Robben cover stuff. Be Well!!!!

[hahabass]

@trabisou So, it wasn't YOU Misssssster Ford looked mad at, at around 0.46, and at about 1.52. I was a bit confused at first when I thought it was you, cos you sounded on the money. Sadowsky and Aggie (I read in one of the comments) - a match made in heaven! Peace bro.

[remoman]

Sadowsky bass... nice.

[nckey42]

God I love Toss Panos damn he's badass

[Jazzguts]

Robben Ford my man,this is Blues with a Capitol B, you hear he's a great Fusion-Jazz man as well in his note choice, this makes this music so darn interesting. Great feel and incredible tone from this fine Es-335 model,fantastic,very inspiring,Vic.

[CommBreakDown]

what kind of amplifier is the bassist using?? anyone know??

[Gedacktpommer]

@CommBreakDown

Travis uses an Aguilar DB751

[BJrok]

The Alan Holdsworth of Blues.

[rapidtranq]

which gig is this? Is it available on DVD? This song is addictive!!

[mikesta99]

how much money has/does Robben ford make??? I he extremely successful in the money aspect?

[sunp]

@mikesta99 real artists usually arent.

[mikesta99]

@sunp

What do you mean?

[gibsonbradley]

Great trio. Toss is one of the best, and this group plays the music as it should be played.

[jeffevers]

I saw these same three guy's in vegas, man!! What a freakin trio. Gotta go see Robben again, truly amazing

[geetarnut]

Yes, Larry gave the 'paul to Robben a few years back. It's a shame that back in the early 1970's they didn't do some touring and do a few records together, when they both were the hottest trend setters around back in LA. Robben actually was playing incredible jazz/rock/fusion licks, saxophone based licks actually, as far back as 1971, and if you get a hold of his live recording from around 1972 or so, you'll see exactly what I mean,, I mean,,, MEAN!!!! WOW!!!!

[Borntoberolled]

I was there! Great guitarist, great music!

[hammo23031969]

Robben just keeps getting better and better....and now he's got Larry C's guitar! hahaha. what a hot trio!

[jondanet]

I don't know about the 335 but the goldtop LP he often plays is actually LC's on permanent loan. That's Travis Carlton bass.
