audadvnc - yes I remember talking with Susan Wickersham about Jack's falling out of interest with the Alembic concept - she was disappointed to say the least. Thanks for the link to that intyerview - it was a good insight into Jack's preferences.
I just wanted all Hot Tuna fans to know that Hot Tuna will soon be visiting Long Island, on the waterfront at Shorefront Park in Patchogue.
They are performing July 15th 2011 along with over 35 other performers that weekend. There will be plenty of other rock, jam, folk, blues & “Americana” genres as well. Definitely check it out, there’s more information on the Great South Bay Music Festival website!!!
@kontikibar - Jack had an interview about his alembic and later basses at "flying guitars", google it for an interesting review of his Alembic experience.
Amazing show. Tuna played this night in the gym, the next day The Dillards did a 4 hour gospel rock set on the soccer field, opening for, get this, The NY Dolls! This weekend shaped the rest of my life. 15yrs old and my 1st yellow sunshine!
somebody must have academy or fillmore or beacon or capitol or portchester shows on film, so please fucking post them, too good to forget, this is an example of how good....
Oxo Wowowowow Mom! Yikes, this is giving me flashbacks!! Bass is so humongous, even on these 1" computer speakers it makes my fillings rattle. Video quality is appropriately wrecked, this is about how I remember them!!!
Dude, Greg Douglas is my guitar teacher right now! He is so freakin' awesome!!! He taught me how to play basic guitar in less than 3 minutes. THREE MINUTES! He is like, the nicest guy in the world and he works at Dusty's Guitar Kingdom in Oceanside, Ca. Check out his website.
Awesome- saw my life flash before me. To think I can get this amazing pi3ece of my life history from you, while living all the way in the mid-east leaves me a writer, wordless!!!!!! a5rocker we were in the sames rooms with this America Rocks music.
Wow! Where is the rest of the show? I would love to see Invitation on the site - it would probably have to be in 3 parts because of the twenty plus minute length
On this tape, there were 4 songs, obviously not all of the show. I put 3 of the 4 on YouTube, I did not put Walkin' Blues on because it is about 20 min long. I found this nth generation VHS tape in a store in Valley Stream. I bet someone has the original somewhere, I hope.
I agree. I remember in 1977 watching Hot Tuna with Nick Buck on Keys, thinking why a keyboard player? Jorma always found these back up musicians who should live and be well, and far away from Hot Tuna!
All Jorma needed was Jacks bass and a drummer not sure if this was Bob Steeler second guitarist adds very little, Nick Buck also played on Jormas brother Peters Black Kangaroo.
The second, and in my opinion not needed in Tuna, is Greg Douglass from SF, CA. Greg was in Terry & the Pirates and some other SF bands with John Cippolina I believe.

Agreed, Cream & Tuna should always be power trios.
Nick Buck's other claim to fame is being on Peter Green's "End of the Game" album. A great ahead of it's time album.

The best by far, era of Hot Tuna. They put the rock in roll. 6-hour plus shows Those were the days. Who is the 2nd guitar player?
