[Themaricafe]

IOLLLLLLLLLLLL

RY COODER IS GREAT!!!

[123rcac]

squeezebox solo. where do you find that kind of action???!!!!!

[blues2win]

This is surely one of the coolest and smoothest tunes around. Sure wanna have a party when I hear this. Ry Cooder definitely one of the best guitarists around and what a backing band. Great stuff indeed.

[3117ss]

I'll take this guy and Kirk Lorange over Derek Trucks anytime

[taildragger53]

This is just beyond words...i have to laugh because it is SO GOOD!!

[kontikitact]

Where can I obtain this" 9th wonder of the world"..please help..I've been trying for years to get / be honoured to acquire this monumentous "happening"...Well fcuk,I even pay some dollar or three....

[tomiclav]

@FemaleSingle7383 wtf?!

[LoganRaeM]

[saketorasan]

RY COODER／LET'S HAVE BALL スティーリー・ダンとは違った形の、贅沢な音。こんなシンプルな­曲を、一体何人でやんねん、って話。キース・リチャーズがフレー­ズをパクったと言われるスライドギターも炸裂。

[dandamagetoo]

open G capoed up?

[ooff]

@dandamagetoo I haven't checked yet, but Ry normally doesn't play in open G. Its probably in open D and capoed on the second to put it in E.

"Money in my pocket, going to my head," "Got my money in my pocket, Can pay for my fun." "I gonna' ball like I never did before."

I had a sub-prime mortgage, and my parents are dead or broke. I had a good job, but now that's just a joke. My sister was an attorney, but now she's got it worse. Well, we'll all live on the street, till we're all in need of a nurse. Money in my pocket, I can feel what it tasted like. My SUV; I had to trade in for a bike. The devil's in my pocket now...

[john8107]

I too remember seeing Ry a few years back in London.Always hoped I'd be able to see him again,never did,bur these videos go some way to making up for it.Many thanks.

[sailcat9]

Ry Cooder is one of America's great musical treasures. I saw him in concert several years ago and he was amazing!

[rpdugoni]

I feel fortunate to having seen this tour when they played Wolfgangs in SF. Went BOTH nights. I have pictures to prove it ! Great memories !!!!

[SimplyPhalin]

I know it's rumoured to be cold up here ... but please come to Canada again! We need you!

[crayhead]

Let's all do another Little Village disc!!

[Jolie028]

GREAT!

[9656hnbv03]

Love..Love.. Ry! Awesome, thank you.

[telecaster24]

What a legend and a MAN that owns the slide-blues axe..Light years beyond all the greats and hey ya all know..

[9656hnbv03]

Bravo!

[rs689]

Ohyeah! What great music. I second what KRGould said.

[Guitarlots]

cool

[jesuswasntafascist]

Bravo!

[hurvinek6683]

Jim Keltner is the "star" in here..... is there another opinion?

No?

[KRGould1]

Most bands would be happy to close with this,,, Ry Cooder opens with it,, what a guy, what a band,,, awesome stuff indeed

[dogofman]

@KRGould1

Is this true?

It must be because the party begins when other bands stop playing.But with Ry the ball starts right at when the music starts.

[stepka3355]

I love everything Ry has ever done and this is my favorite song by him.

[Prenty52]

played this to my 26 yo son...blew him away...he's right up there with the masters imho

[eddygortex]

They make it sound so easy thats the trick but there,s all sorts of stuff going on in there esp. Jim Keltner BANG CRASH WALLOP makes it sound like anybody could jump on a drum kit LOVE IT THE WHOLE THING !!

[CatfishEU]

Does anyone know if it´s possible to buy a DVD of all this? Already downloaded some of this concert but would prefer a DVD

[MrRybart]

@CatfishEU did you find out if this is out on dvd? i remember taping this off channel4 in the 80's. all these songs brought back so many memories. me and my old man played it to death.

[tomsthe14me]

Believe Ry has Cuban roots

[moutsee]

wonderful music, great

[kupacore]

this guy is great never heard them before

[6TONNEFODEN]

saw him again at the Sage in Gateshead lastnight, just the dog`s bollock`s

[led7eppelin]

Hey, I was at the Sage concert too...! Absolutely brilliant, especially "Vigilante Man", just blew me away. Nick Lowe seems like a top bloke as well. Great night, so glad I got tickets, wish i could see him again.

[6TONNEFODEN]

just seen him in concert in dublin with his son ,and nick lowe . what can i say, but, i had a ball.

[black325ibeamer]

Wow. This music is for me. Thank God my brother told me about Ry. I have been on a binge ever since.

[hypershadow647]

there's a lot of other great moments/recordings out there (statesboro for instance), but this is the song that got me into slide.

[Uggybow]

Ry is great on slide. I also recommend Rollin' and tumblin' by canned heat in Monterey '67. Let's work together also has some tasty slide guitar in it.

[Zonkerbeam]

The great thing about Ry is that he's not just a musician but he's a musicologist. He chronicles American music more thoroughly than anyone on the music scene and his work is not just a great testament to his incredible playing but to his interest in how the music made it through to him. All that being said..Boy do I wish he'd tour with a rock and roll band again! Maybe a John Hiatt reunion? C'mon Ry!

[tomthefunky]

anything Jim Keltner involves himself in is always top notch.

[Gilyslas]

For Mr. Cooder:

Thank you for sharing so much of your incredible

music throughout the years. You have made

our world a bit nicer with your musical

contributions and your primo guitar playing.

May you continue with your best in the years

to come.

[FazlokAaAaAaA]

he can't hear you you know

[sgpnc]

God's own rhythm section...Jim Keltner and Jorge Calderon...

[anotheraoluser]

I love Ry Cooder!!!!

[TJTele52]

Duane was great but Ry is finger picking bass and melody at the same time while playing slide an entirely different level on the instrument..

[safuna]

Nice laid-back version of this song. The album version is more of a rocker.

[ldnearthesea]

Ry Cooder is from Santa Monica, California.

He was here in Santa Cruz yesterday promoting his new book "I, Flathead: a story about Cash Buk and the Klowns" at Bookshop Santa Cruz, and selling the three CDs that make up a "history" of sorts of Southern California during the 50's and 60's in a musical sense: Chavez Ravine, My Name is Buddy (the Cat) and the just released I, Flathead. He does a spoken word piece in it called "Can I Smoke in Here" that sounded like something Tom Waits could do.

[JAIJAI0]

What a great tone eh! Thanks for that, great stuff!!

[Fritztoons]

Is Ry Cooder a cajun?

I love his music!

[superskidoos]

Duane Allman has nothing on Ry. I cant believe in the Rolling Stones top 100 guitarists off all time Allman is ranked 2nd and Ry is ranked 8th.

Should be the other way around

[DoowahDiatribe]

Absolutely! And stated by a dude that saw Duane free in the park in 1970...But, Ry already had lots of respect way before then. I still have the box a slide came in that mentions Ry's popularity (not Duane) that was The Reason This Slide Comes To You, etc.

[RAYGUNNE]

Ry's a master of the stringed instrument.

[tabber87]

I'm just glad Ry got the respect of being ranked in the top ten.

You'd think Ry's vocal abilities would at least give him the edge over Duane, and I'm a huge Duane fan.

[ntsmiddy]

Don't worry lads - anyone who knows anything knows Ry da man!

[RAYGUNNE]

These polls etc. are mute, Duane never lived long enough, (RIP) to judge him.

When we look at Ry we see a lifetime of work,

sadly Duane's life was over before it had really begun. What's the point of people arguing over who's better anyway music's all subjective an highly personal.

[graylab2]

You are so right music is very subjective and personal. Each musicians needs to be respected for what they do, not who's best. Ry, Eric, SRV, Buddy Al Collins etc they're all good. Comparing one to another is like saying mashed potatoes are better than baked!!

[NevadaPic]

You know it! Got rhythm?

[tundradog]

If this don't get your feet a tappin,you must be dead....

[daeusto]

His name is not Raymond...it is Ryland.

[67216]

Oh Yea !!!!

[commment]

Go Raymond Go !!!
