This Lonesome Pine special was the best. Branford meshed with them perfectly. Howard who left the band a year after this was so awesome on the harp in their rendition of the Beatles' "Michelle".

[MrZanither]

One of their best songs. Their best performance of sunset road by far.

[PoliceBoy465]

One of the best versions of Sunset Road I've heard. Nothing forced, just ultimate chill. And checkout Branford checking out Howard.

[Elferien]

Most interesting in this song, is how five so different players find very equal roles in a band..

[RythmandStrings]

This talent is so thick you can taste it

[joeglimmix]

howard levy....the forgotten man. howard levy makes mozart look like big fuckin homo

[exbassibor]

@joeglimmix LOL!!!! Awesome! Or in the immortal words of Charlie Sheen, Mozart was a "sad, droopy-eyed, armless child."

[Reap3r07]

why is spaceman the only one that still looks the same today lol

[foxfireman188]

@Reap3r07 Cuz he's from the future.

[Lukeypoo91]

@Reap3r07 Because he's from the future!

[Itasattc]

@Reap3r07 *Futureman

[pb0o6]

i wish the drummer would just play real drums.

[hotelbravoutube]

Perhaps the most beautiful song ever written.

[stolzvonbaden]

Einfach super!

[cwiseguy69]

There is a song that this song reminds me so much of, maybe an 80's or 90's song but I can't think of the name, lyrics or who sang it... can anybody help?

[ayshawinti]

Jordu? ... Bill Keith? ...

[joeglimmix]

@cwiseguy69 gotta give us at least something to go on...some sort of description

[kalloused]

Howard Levy is the bomb diggity. Way better than Jeff Coffin

[Clampz123]

who was the dude on the tenor sax?

[sequel91]

@Clampz123 Branford Marsalis

[bagulhobrasil]

This is music!

[CabraBuitre]

I love this song and especially this version of it. I have the audio recording... it's great to see the video!

[koreanrice05]

geez.. smooth as glass

[Demeralda]

Thanks for this. It's the jam.

[questkid73]

That piano player is The incredible Howard Levy a founding member of the flecktones played on their first 3 albums..he also played several hand held instruments..like harmonica and pinwhistle..etc

[jazzmadmax]

what a great piano player!!

[chaveznieves]

yeah he's not bad. there's a man named jordan rudess who blows him out of the water though

[kalloused]

Howard Levy destroys Jordan R.

[chaveznieves]

i disagree. but whatever. thats life, and music especially. opinions

[chaveznieves]

@tomaspepino tough guy eh? remove your comment before someone can see your opinion and disagree with you.

[chaveznieves]

@tomaspepino but in response i do agree claudio arrau is a great pianist. however he and rudess are not in the same field. rudess is a progressive keyboardist first and foremost where arrau is a classical pianist. comparisons between the two are unfair and irrelevant

[tomaspepino]

And why are u comparing a jazzist with a metal progresive player ?

U contradict yourself.

[alexsullivanbanjos]

By far, one of the best songs they did.

[masturboide]

Look at Bela's hair, they are all so young!

[gfunk0422]

bela's rocking the mullet. awesome.

[naderskater]

when was this concert?...Oh wait...The 80s.

[scat4u]

it's silly to say that their old stuff is better than their newer stuff because of a few songs. they're new stuff is just different.

[JacoTimothyLeo]

Yea i think there earlyer stuff is alot better then there new. This song rules

[joeglimmix]

100% agreement...I was waiting to hear that come from someone....thanks!

[joeglimmix]

their early music is awesome..

[househead1990]

Who's the keys player?

[ruhligm]

Howard Levy, original Flecktone. One of the best, if not the best harp players in the world.

[bigwave1021]

Wow! Nice to see something I haven't seen yet here.... please post more if you've got them.

[swannerm]

What year was this?

[jpb11380]

1991

[hogendorn]

[javijazztazz]
