As I write this there are 0 dislikes. There is justice in this world.

[labofchange]

Don't forget Bob Lee....that man has always been amazing since the Clawhammer days!

[olflatop]

The old Doll Hut! Man, the good old days. I somehow managed to miss this show. Saw so many good ones there though. I remember The Ziggens used to play there a lot. They were fun. Wonder if they're still around?

[march1969]

Heard hints of Robert Fripp from "Sailor's Tale" from the album "Islands" in the opening guitar solo.

[baneoftrout]

Nels Cline rules my world. First guitarist I've ever heard whose playing isn't immediately and obviously influenced by Hendrix. Fucking mindblowing. Meanwhile, big thanks to Mike Watt for "Contemplating the Engine Room." That album changed my life.

[milesofsmiles2]

Busy ass fuckin guitar playing man

[VynRumbold]

How is it that only 8457 people have watched this? A clear sign the world is going to hell in a hand cart. One of the best albums/tours in history. Thanks for posting - I never made it to Linda's - but saw the very last opera show at the Viper Room in LA...

[azairborne]

@VynRumbold HA! That is the friendliest, most thoughtful, sour social commentary I have heard in a while and I must agree 100% Audio and video has so much potential that is typically unreached. Oh well, let the topsiders look pretty and we will simply keep the boat moving.

[breakfastdeltadisco]

Please get this band back together. This is still my favorite rock band ever.

[hiphopwong]

Nels is an Animal! This is wonderfully Miles Davis inspired.

[hendrixvoodoo]

I hear Mile's influence in a lot of Nel's playing. Glade to see I'm not the only one. Great video!

[jacksandfives]

Nels Cline rips.

[ciroac30]

that guitatr it's like a sax!!! even better

[brigantine1212]

where can i find no one says old man (to the old man)? could someone please post it here? that'd be awesome

[williambenton]

These tours were some of the most important live experiences of my life.

Thank you and much respect to Watt, Lee, Cline, Baiza, and Hodges.

[raindogred]

what sort of guitar is that -jaguar, mustang or jagstang-can never really tell them suckers apart? sure looks like p-90 pickups. fantastic live sound. this rocks!! or fusions!! or jazzes!!

[williambenton]

Tis a Jazzmaster.

[raindogred]

well there you go. Our guitarist uses one too. just shows you how much attention I pay when I'm on the bass:)

[klesh1]

Great album, great song, great performance here! Much love & respect.

[limeyamos]

[AltaiBanan]

[funkyfoolfromVanNuys]

Seriously, has Watt ever played with musicians that were ever just ok? They guy has played with the best musicians for almost three decades now. Stop hoggin! well, no... because it's amazing music. But, hmm... wanna jam sometime? I'm ok, so I'll be the first ok player you've ever shared notes with... huh? huh?
