Larry Carlton Blues Project with Robben Ford

[JGPorcello]

I think that anybody who complains about this performance is really pissed that they're not in this band.

[srvgravesdime]

I don't know why people are complaining about anything, this whole thing seems great and I don't think any of those musicians are having any problems on stage AT ALL.

Love the drummer....Travis is pretty hot.... can't see the gripes.... sure slap is a bit dated but who cares it's a gig, and if you a are a player not many of them about where you can jam out a few grooves these days!

Relax enjoy it!

[Phishboy26]

I find the Bassist slap technique a little shady. Also there is absolutely no need for those effects during the conversation between Larry and his son

[Fractalarts1]

Saw this tour in Seattle, also have seen Larry at Jazz alley with Travis, always a great show!

[freakydisorder]

this certainly isnt their best track but as part of a set, for some variety's sake......I can dig it.

[youngmark61]

WOW!..SWEEEEEEEEET! And Kudos to the sound man too! even with my shit little PC speakers with the sound mix in stereo, I was kind of mesmerized for a while there..LOL

[kutsbothways]

Kick ass. You have to actually see Robben play to understand the way he is on stage. Mad? hardly. Intense. And the man is one of the greatest rythm players ever. These players have the utmost respect for one another, you dont sound like that, that tight, without it.

@pretorious700: Indubitably! ♥

[Bluzonaman]

Proof for Lou Reed's statement: "Nothing beats two guitars, bass and drums."

[moudiwort]

not at you;-)

Here is my statement:

I am a poet loving being me and a Blues pianist in love with this here:

I love to cut it short to listen longer:

If it was not for the bridge (that you don't need here)

2:30 plus wasted seconds. I refuse to count them down, I just say 9

this is the very best I have ever heard.

you are so close it hurts ;-=

[pretorious700]

@Bluzonaman well. it helps when these 2 guys are playing the guitars.

[FrankyDirky]

[FunkerPunkerJunker]

i love the way robben rakes the chords from 2:17 on :D

[FunkerPunkerJunker]

one of my favourite versions on yt

[Juda0326]

Does Robben look like he was pissed at the end?

[shuerkan]

who doesnt ?..

[BJrok]

The bass guy definitely got on his nerves. Kept on doing not-so-tasty solos. The first half was ok but I think he got too carried away. Sometimes even missing the beat while doing so.You're not suppose to do that if you're the bass player for RF! He didn't see Carlton pointing at Ford to take turns. I would be pissed too if that was the actual case. =)

[twangbarfly]

What show were you watching? The "bass guy" is Larry's son, Travis. Robben was so pissed off that he hired Travis and the drummer to play on his European tour after this tour. The drums and bass are as great as the two guitars in their own way... Listen to the superb rhythm work Robben does on the bass solo... He's digging it... Then there's the tremendous interplay with Larry and his son. Robben is not pissed off. They are all listening to one another without ego issues. GREAT interplay.

[BJrok]

The drummer is wicked. Never overplays, Very accurate sticking. The bassist's solo was great at the beginning but the moment he started that poppin' thang it just went downhill for me. I like a bass player who's always 'in the pocket.' Even during solos.

[twangbarfly]

I'll go along with that - but I didn't see Travis get anything wrong here, and I don't think Robben did either. But there are other bass players who'd have done it differently. More in the pocket during solos - I see Will Lee, among others ... But hey, what woudl I know, I'm just a bastard guitarist :-)

[maidenjuice]

I think the drummer plays a set like Bonham's. I like hwo it's not all built up. Very slick player too.

[moudiwort]

6:49 !!!!

still need words?

heaven!

[BadSneakers]

The bass player is Carlton's son, and he and Ford have played tons of concerts together.

[BJrok]

It doesn't mean he is always good. Besides he was improvising and with his famous dad right next to him. Maybe he got a bit too adventurous. He was on on some spots and off on others. But of course they're professionals, c'mon. He's no retard getting on my nerves showing off his irritating sloppy slap thang to his chick while I was trying to check out the tone of few basses in the nearby music store.

Hey, all in all just my opinion.

[BadSneakers]

Nothing worse than a disenchanted musician who couldn't make it. lol

All my opinion as well.

[BJrok]

Nothing worse than a religious mindset.

Vicarious pleasure(?) is your only bet.

Not my opinion, a fact.

[BadSneakers]

*****blank stare*****

[BJrok]

Why did I even bother.

[CopperCountryGal]

awesome stuff.. Love both of their work/ They make it look so easy.

Love it.

[Wesbound1]

So good Travis!

So good..
