  • oh oh, shivers upon my spine, every time I listen to this one.......

  • i gotta see him play live!!

  • Is this really all live?? Vocals too? If so, Holy Jesus!

  • incredible

  • Great Song!!! Three Piece Bands Rock.

  • This dude "Man-Handles" that guitar...!

    ...he plays it like he's makin Love to a beautiful woman....Breathtaking performance!

  • Who else can Sing and Play Guitar Like This?

    Kotzen is the Best Living Rock Guitarist...!

  • yeah... this guy has some kinda voice.

  • WOW...I think he sings even better than he plays his guitar.....An Amazing Artist...

  • Muito Bom!!!

    Great!!!

  • Reminds me of something by the artist known once again as Prince.

    That's not a dig.

  • he has a nice voice

  • that's a really wonderful solo, RICHIE IS THE BEST!!!!

  • Showman !!!

  • He is so damn cool,and his playing is so awesome... you gotta love this guy

  • 2:15 made me cream my pants.

    That is the most sick ass lick i have ever heard.

    Well done Mr. Kotzen!

  • RK is a BAMF!!

    GREAT singer and player.

    Shred with blues intensity and feeling.

  • Loved the outro

  • Richie is the REAL deal...

    His under recognition is nothing short of a travesty. As soon as I can find a copy I am buying this show on dvd.

  • To my dismay, I've only just discovered this breathtaking musician this evening, and honestly, my world has changed.

    Fine, that may be an exaggeration, but after streaming videos upon videos of Richie, I am very impressed. I am glad to extend my interest in guitar virtuosos from players like Vai, Satriani, Petrucci, Gilbert, Andy Timmons...etc.

    I mean damn, that solo had so much emotion, depth, and technicality.

  • reminds me of jack white but better both vocal and guitar-wise of course :D ;)

  • jesus nice pipes. and DAMN can he play guitar.

  • jimi will be proud of you richie

  • Richie is the best!

    I been there too. I feel it.

  • Fantastic singer/frontman/guitarist.

    Soul and Shred

  • fucking one of the best solo ive heard. This is up there with vai's tender surrender.

  • Ritchie should fire his manager!Ive got nothing against john mayer but this dude kicks his ass!He should be as popular in the mainstream as mayer.Just my opinion.Soulful!!

  • I'm going to see this guy on Oct 11 in a club in Poole , England that only holds 300people!

    Am I lucky, or what?!

  • SOUL with a BIG 'S'!!!!!!!!! Wow, I can't believe I never really listened to him before. Of course he has monster technique and a great voice to match but for me what sets him apart is his soulful approach and incredible melodic sense. Wow!

  • Great music and soul

  • this guy is living the dream! go head on kotzen!

  • kinda sounds like sammy haggar

  • He REALLY sings like Micheal Bolton. I think his vocal chops are better than Sammy's. Sorry dude,

    Sammy is more famous maybe? but Richie is the SHIT

  • Nah, I'll still take Sammy, with Richie on guitar though!

  • Of the many musicians that inspire me to pick up the guitar everyday, Kotzen is one of the most notable.

  • Thanks Richie, that´s all...thanks !

  • wow hey, i've never heard rich sing, i wouldn't have imagined his voice to be like this,

    its awesome though :))))

  • AWSOME AWSOME AWSOME AWSOME

  • the most awesome guitarist in the world likes the most awesome guitarist in the worlds

    5XXXXXXXX+

  • damn...i knew he was brilliant, but this goes beyond anything i've ever expected......this man is one of the best musicians i've ever seen. it was divine, his strong vocals and beautiful guitar playing...god bless richie kotzen........ i can't sum it up in just mere words....wow.....just wow.......too good.......

  • Some things change, some things stay the same, and some just change direction as fast as the wind. People get older, people meet people, and the memories created. But, what happens when those memories where fake? what happens when you dont know what to do at all and you leave yourself begging for more, but it never comes....drudge on down the road and keep trying or is there something else? something im jsut not seeing. People call me smart, but im only as smart as you make me.

  • 2:33 he's been shot

  • Go Richie!!!

    TrueBone loves ya!

  • puta k pariu ,pensei k era somente um guitar meia boca,mas alem de tocar muito tbm canta pra caralho esse fila da puta!!!!!!!

  • i have to add :)

    what an AMAZING SOLO!!

    can listen to it again and again and again..

  • gee, Mr. Kotzen this was awesome!

    it's a shame that he isnt that famous like he deserves it. Awesome playing, feeling plus KILLER vocals!

    AND: this guy knows how to rock Fender guitars!

    keep on rockin Richie!

  • WTF?!  I'm going to watch that 200 times.

  • i never get enough of this.....AMAZzzING

  • this is one of the most soulful solo i've ever heard. This is easily on my list now along with Steve Vai's Tender surrender here on youtube.

  • OMG i never knew he could sing that fucking WELL. Bloody fucking amazing voice and tone.

  • i hope this great performance of Richie inspired those who had watched it

    "cause this inspired me a lot!

  • Giggitty Giggitty, the man knows how to lay it out and get it done!!!! The crown belongs to King Richie!!! Another outstanding live performance that shows that Richie really is a "Guitar Hero".

  • His guitar technique and Tone are incredible ... and so his voice !

  • aonde foi esse show?não to reconhecendo o lugar...

  • This live is two years ago?

    He used to be very powerful n energetic.

  • Ritchie is having fun right here, the end.

  • não fui nesse show..quase morri..mais agoa ele vai estar aqui em brasiliaaa! ingresso na mão já..S2 luv ya Richie!

  • I was there....He is amazing!

  • Love his voice. He is one of the guys filled with soul imo. Respect kotzen!

  • fuckin' great...

  • Why in the hell this dude was ever in poison in beyond me with guitar and vocal chops like that!!! Damn.

  • amazing

  • amazing vocals

  • this is guitar porn

  • the best outro kotzen has ever made.....110% feelin....

  • I bet you read that on a web page. but I agree! babosasoooo jajaja

  • no words, simply perfect.

  • He sounds like Michael Bolton

  • Jem, with all the best wishes in the world, Please go and get your ears cleaned out, He sounds nothing like M.B.

  • esse show foi fodaaaaaaa

  • This is the feeling each musician feels when they know "this is it" and you somehow go into a world of your own. Its probobly the most amazing feeling that a musician can feel. You totally let yourself go with the flow of the music. Totally captivating!

  • Exactly like that. You put it in the right words.

  • He's got a great voice! Love it.

  • cant get enough of this video, not too many artist sound better live than they do on their cd´s but richie is one of those, its a shame I havent seen him live

    RK 4 ever!

  • Richie is God.

  • true Lol To me its comparing an apple to orange. At being a blues player, mayer has it tho that my opinion though I may be wrong. But I have to admit, ritchie has a better sounding voice and more chops. Although they both have killer chops in their own right

  • You can tell he's feeling it.A stellar example of a total package musician.

  • Nice. Not only is he an extremely talented singer and musician, he's damn good looking too!

  • John Mayer can't Touch richie ,,Pop Sucks

  • Mayer sucks, Ritchie DESTROYS that dorks vocals, and RITCHIE crushes him guitar-wise as well.............end of story.

    LISTEN to that tone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Wow, he's ON FIRE vocally in this clip, :)

  • Mayer has serious talent as a POP writer, gummy chick tunes, dont get me wrong, BUT, passion comes from this guy from a more street level, then add fire and you get Ritchie :)

  • It really is no contest as far as i'm concerned they are not even in the same league..

    Mayer is a sterile MTV cheese balladeer, in the long tradition of other record company hand puppets like Brian Adams & John Bon Jovi..

    Where's Ritchie is a real musician..

    He has virtuoso level guitar abilities, on par with the worlds best & has an excellent singing voice as good as any rock vocalist of the past 20 years!

    No contest imo..

  • totally! Ritchies voice that night at House Of Blues was STELLAR, it was jaw dropping, hes gotten better and better ;)

  • well said speedburnervideo, Richie has so much emotion in his singing as well as his awesome song writing and his awesome rhythm and lead playing, he OWNS any of those pop hype guitar players

  • for sure

  • haha nice how the drummer drops one of his sticks at 0:22 :) great clip by the way!

  • John mayer wrote that pop stuff to show he has an individual voicing from his influences.

  • rock and richie babys!!!!!!

  • what a gifted artist..I Love him

  • john mayer is a genius but richie is god dude he is not human

  • ritchie is way better than john mayer. i wish the public would give him more attention.

  • agreed, richie is one of the biggest talents on the guitar,, his skills are unbelievable. And his voice is great and powerful. John mayer has good ideas though, I have lots of respect for him to....but richie is a way more experienced musican and guitarist for shure

  • I grew up listening to this man right here. one of the very best, most talented guitarists, and singer, of our times. Too bad he hasn't gotten the recognition he justly deserves. man, I just remembered going to sleep with my headphones on listening to his albums. great times.

  • probably it'll all come at it's best time

    of course he recorded and released he doesn't even know how many albums and also been part of many others with mr big,poison and many others

    but i bet that it'll eventually come around for him two

  • I agree

    devilwenttobuffalo!!!

  • I wonder if these folks in brazil realised while they were busy recording this man, that they wittnessed a very rare moment in time when a artist opens their soul and gives everything of him or herself, this preformance might just be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen .how the music just flows out of him is breathtaking, I saw this kind of thing in the late and great SRV.wish I could see the place they go to when they close there eyes.look how spent he is after that solo.
