Hot Tuna: 101 Keep Your Lamps Trimmed & Burning

[joeb2665]

This is a great duo, but, as a guitar player, gotta say I *love* Jorma's playing. He's underestimated in the scheme of guitar players because he's not mainstream.

[MrAndersoncouncil]

Jack makes it look so easy.  Love Jorma completely, but Jack is the man.

[tradecraft46]

Love it on the JFK. Still better now.

[akp1958]

Saw Jorma sit in with John Hammond outside S.F. in 1978 best acoustic blues show ever

[mrtritt7]

They just get better with age. I wish I would too. LOL

[carthagepropaganda]

I thought Jack Casady had too much taste to play one of those fugly Steinbergers. Disappointing :(

[bellablue108]

@carthagepropaganda yeah, no taste. Just one of the most epic bass players ever.

[frederickus]

@carthagepropaganda It's a lot easier to carry than a '66 Guild Starfire, and mush more difficult to break.

[ujnawierzbie]

@carthagepropaganda It's not a Steinberger, looks more like a Kramer Duke.

" ... fo' this ol' world it is almost done.."

[Bodie007]

You just know Kaukonen got mucho nook.

[bopbopbobert]

first heard Hot Tuna in 1970, made me run out and buy my first acoustic guitar, a 30$ piece of cr*p that said Fender on it. It had good action but never quite sounded like Jorma !!

[Aureliomelis]

@bopbopbobert Well if a guitar could make you sound like Jorma, how easy would life be then..

[expenguin67]

Perfect soundtrack on a cold, rainy here in San Francisco. Stormy weather. Keep yo' lamps trimmed an' burnin'.

[georgetsikos1]

Tuna did an early and late show at the Palladium NYC back in the day.

Played 2.5 hr early shows then 12-5AM Late shows.

Great staying for both.

[vajraloka1]

DUDE I USED TO GO TO THE PALLIDIUM, WHERE you there when it was called the academy of music? 14th street right? '74 '75

PHUCKING HOT TUNA!!!!!!!!!

[thomastjb]

Bit of Tuna trivia - the band originally wanted to call themselves "Hot Shit". The label demurred and Hot Tuna it was and is. Hot shit, that's a good story. :)

[karaokejoe316]

jorma allways tapping his leg- is this from the beacon about 1986-- i think i remember jacks hair like that-- but the memory== you know-- TUNA

[CrapsAss]

hot fuckin tuna

[politicalrachel]

wow this is the first I've heard of Hot Tuna and I'm hooked

[npspec34]

an old favorite.

saw HT a day after a Super Bowl where Jim Plunkett led the Raiders to victory and I yelled up, "Jim Plunkett" and Yorma broke into Death Don't Have No Mercy by Rev Gary Davis.

At Lupo's and that was classic Jorma.

He played for about 4 hours.

Another time at the Living Room I left them at 2am and was told they kept playing til 4.

[lanciafulvia]

Somewhere I have a really old tape of this track with Hot Tuna and Papa John Creech on fiddle,think it was recorded at one of the Fillmores..great stuff

[hauulakid]

Bad to the Tuna bone!!!

[Dukabor]

Jorma....nuff said...

[casadyrocks]

@Dukabor not without saying "Jack"

[Waterunleashed]

Yeah.......HOT FUCKING TUNA

[jimmar111]

This is TUNA!

[arinarz]

awesome

[FLHTP07]

The real deal.

[gantock]

you SEE, clapton? thats what happens when you dont SELL the blues! sit and watch !

[kharmakreep]

I agree.....John Lee Hooker, in an interview whithout being asked, proclaimed Jorma as the purest white blues guitar player.

[MISFITROBBY138]

@kharmakreep Eric Clapton, alvin lee, mike bloomfield,???

[kharmakreep]

@MISFITROBBY138 did you read what I said...

[headwall07]

Word.

[lostintheblues]

that was pretty sweet

[peaceonearth108]

Amen...thank you

[portlandjohn8]

Wow wow wow.  Thanks a million. Despite thousands of listenings, I will never tire of listening to these 2 yardbirds play music together.

[ningunners]
