  • nice Wes!

  • Johnson is doing an octave for octave solo rendition of Wes Montgomery's take on a Lalo Schifrin theme song for Cool Hand Luke.

  • he was 30 years old on this video. He looks like a child

  • If you see a Viking resemblance, it's because he's of Norwegian descent. Check out his Norwegian nose. And he's got that Nordic cool......

  • looks like a Hagstrom Viking

  • He looks like a High School Kid! Too bad we don't know what else he played that night but he was certainly very mellow.

  • @jeditenor1

    He's 30 years old here (he was born in 1954 and this was filmed in 1984).

    This was his first appearance on Austin City Limits. As for "what else he played that night," there were a lot of songs, including "Soulful Terrain," "Bristol Shore," "I'm Finding You," "Emerald Eyes," "Manhattan," a very early version of "Trademark," "Tribute to Jerry Reed," "Kathy's Song," the best version ever of "Cliffs of Dover," etc. I think rockully3 has posted all the songs from this show here on YT.

  • @Ken5244 im not sure i agree with the cliffs of dover being the best version... The 88 ACL was so much better IMO... cleaner and more relaxed...

  • @camair2112

    Well, to each his own, I guess. To me, "cleaner & more relaxed" doesn't make it superior. Quite the contrary -- what I love about the '84 ACL version is its fiery tone and almost-off-the-rails intensity. It's just incendiary. But I agree, if "cleaner & more relaxed" is your preference, then the '88 version takes that prize.

    I will say the beginning of the '88 version floors me. That lush, chimey intro is amazing. The way he puts chords together is soooo creative & melodic.

  • Dude how old is he there? What is he playin? The oldest Eric Johnson video I've ever seen, incredible

  • @vtaminthc

    EJ is playing a Stevens Classic.
