David Lindley Interview

[familybc146]

This guy has the interviewing skills of a house plant....he didn't even ask David about his friendship with Ry Cooder and how that got started.

[peelumba]

@ryreinhardt, Dave may not be the greatest "guitar player" that ever lived but I think it safe to say probably the most versatile stringed instrument player that ever lived.

All very nicely put and David IS very telented and well educated in the world of music . ROCK ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DatsaMeee]

Sorry I missed him this last time through.. I was at the show in the video.. he was wonderful as always.

[housemandoc23]

The beginning reminds me of "My Shit's Fucked Up" for some reason...

[brutltruth84]

right on.

[Parafins]

david lindey is incrediblle with an amazing musical career probably 40 plus years of experience. with multible bands as well as el rayo -x he is one of my all time favourites and any body can expand thier minds with a little bit of art appreciation...listen to bach ,techno .rap whatever you like ,but enjoy the whole spectrum

[Cessycat]

Does anyone know the name of the song David plays in the opening sequence? Thanx!

[zbestwun2001]

I remember David from the group Kaleidoscope.

Steve Fischler

[HALEYSABAI]

music not a sport!.... try to tell that to a death metal shredder!!

Anyways....Dave is ALL about music, and how sweet it is.

[nutmegger1957]

Interesting that you use "guitar" as a Tag for this video....that's FAR from a "guitar!"

[banjojambo9]

Music is not a sport it is art. music comes through people from the creative energy that is everything

[Guitarschmoozer]

Nobody is 'The Best' and remember, no matter HOW GOOD you are, there's always somebody better.

atb,

Stan

[ryreinhardt]

dave is a great player of many things - but please no, he's not the greatest guitar player that ever lived - that is just plain stupid,grovelling fan worship.

the guy interviewing him is a moron

[haruspex84]

I personally don't think Lindley is the greatest musician to walk the earth although I do enjoy his tunes. However, he may very well be the best guitar player in some peoples eyes, considering that title is purely based on opinion. Calling people names because you don't agree with their musical tastes is pretty pathetic.

[ryreinhardt]

stupid is still stupid

[useagle1]

stupid is as stupid does

[elrayo2]

@ryreinhardt

But he maybe one of the best maybe?

[tyren1966]

this guy is the best guitarist that have ever visited the planet of Earth... does anyone know what he's doing nowadays?

[funkandgroovin]

he really is a masterful string playing artist!

he's awesome.

[3dphotoartist]

As to Dave's love of wild polyester shirts and such. I think he and a friend have a small museum for wild clothes somewhere. Does anyone know more about this?

[guyglowmore1]

i'd like him to get together with regina spektor and amy winehouse. what a threesome that would be. just david and regina would be a great new treat

[vwtch]

We Love You and Your Music, David.

[UltimoMode]

Jackson Browne : David Lindley

Great Californian combination...

[petgerco]

I closed my eyes and Jack Nicholson was a musician.

[hotfirecaster]

David LINDLEY's records seems to be hard to find... what a pity!!! This man is a-ma-zing, but too rare... Come Back Dave and visit us in Paris France Pleeeeeaaaaasssseeeee!!!!

[jipes]

They are for most of them available directly on his website evenn the Cooder/lindley show might still be possible to get directly through him !

[ledmandlin]

Anybody have the Mr. Dave lp (from '86-'87)transferred to CD? I'm more than happy to send Dave the desired $5 as well as you for your efforts. There simply is nobody like this boy.

[Gutensaf]

I have a commerical CD version of the LP Mr. Dave

Purchased in the late 80's

[ledmandlin]

Thanks, Gutensaf--a very generous Lindley/Cooder fan from France helped me out back at the time of my post. I sure do appreciate what I take to be your offer and, no doubt, there are others who will want to take advantage of it (just keep in mind, friends, Mr. Dave rightfully asks a mere $5 for every burn). Speaking of Ry, I just saw a youtube vid of him playing the blues on mando--simply amazing and highly recommended.

[ChestertonsBulldog]

I've seen Mr. Dave forty times in my life, from El Rayo X opening the first ever concert at Irvine Meadows Ampitheater in 1981 to Reggae on the Rocks at Red Rocks in Colorado in 2005. Dave = Best Ever!

[yutubur]

can someone please tell me the name of the first song seen performed in this video and what album it is from? i've seen mr. dave many times, and he always seems to open his set with this song, at least in the recent past. any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks also to JohnnyDsTV for posting!
