[telecasterbear]

shut up and watch the show. if you want to make noise at a show, get your own band together and show us the noise you can make on stage.

[JOYJR14]

El video hubiera quedado excelente si no fuera por cierto hijo de puta que esta haciendo "uuuuu""! como marica csm reverendo idiota mal nacido.. malogra la canción como jode otra ves suena acada rato maldito idiota de mierda....

[chilorcas07]

[andretisos]

perfect mi idolo máximo desde uruguay montevideo

[Thexpumazoxrock]

*_____*

[KeithWhalen11]

The bend behind the top nut at 3:07 had me laughing hysterically the first time I saw it. Amazing playing!

[abatsekki]

i waited 6 minutes for the song to start

[MrAZERSS]

well fuck good

[sinsagoodmansbrother]

This is GREAT! Love This! Eric's technique is amazing! The video quality is superb!!! Question? The Canon XA10 is pretty big... No? They just let you shoot video with a camera that big? Or is it smaller then I realize?...

[Gabrielglezrdz]

AMAZING SOLOOOOOOOOOO WOWWW HE IS ONE OF THE BEST OF THE WOLRD DEFINITIVO

[april9089]

too old to stop shredding!! keep it up

[horacrux]

WoW

[SuperBreadhead]

Oh look! It's Ellen DeGeneres :)

[RickInRock84]

disgusting audience

[Rhyno186]

Nice audience there. The majority of the people knew just to sit back, shut the F up and listen.

[gnrrrrrrrr]

He plays classical music with the guitar... This intro is just amazing.

[indyjonz]

Cliffs is one of the finest instrum. guitar pieces ever recorded. Watch the Austin City limits version if you want to get slapped in the face by disgusting ability again.

[indyjonz]

disgusting



[RomanianStrongMan]

how the fuck can you not like this?

[tsumabiken]

O_O There are no words. Seriously nothing can describe how awesome this is. EJ is in another world all of his own throughout this; a world made up of nothing but music and him. Truly amazing.

[skept11]

Melodic Mastery and Technique from the chain of chords, twangy tone, harp harmonics, hybrid picking, soothing delay & reverb & yet of course, EJ's signature classic warm, fat gain tone chained by his God-like hands. All shot in High Definition. A guitarist's Heaven that not even that RETARD Animal that keeps shouting "whuu" could ever spoil. Simply a Genius.

[JewFroProducti0ns]

someone brought their high pitched cow there....

[mokaey]

to technical...

[bossman22408]

that will make you breathe thru your mouth....

[hermanhenry78]

there's an animal in that show.. saying 'whuuuuuuu'

[earthensky22]

@hermanhenry78 ...an owl high on crack =)



[Toxeensynth]

What's with that animal that keeps shouting "whuuuuu" at the beginning??

[oT0MJHo]

@Toxeensynth dunno but it's fucking annoying

[Discgolf97]

@Toxeensynth Someone should have punched that person. Too many times i heard that and no one else was making a peep.

[PsyloActiv]

@Toxeensynth Ear orgasms

[guitar4life33]

Really great chord voicings. Awesome. :') I wish the guy going "weeeuuuhhh!" would calm his tits a bit, though.

[ExternalTooth]

I honestly feel sorry for the losers making obnoxious noises in the audience. They have no idea how much time and practice is invested by EJ to get to where he is today. If they can't appreciate the skill and beauty displayed there before them, then I am truly sad for them. They are probably drunk nobodies who lack the capacity to appreciate it. Ah well... At least I can enjoy it! Lol

[danlay]

I think Gershwin has returned.

[chacojepas]

This is the reason I want to study a music related carrer. This and only this <<33

[sbdstudent]

I have the XA10. Great to know what it can do in a club. Thx for the upload.

[Schlockumentaries]

@sbdstudent subscribe my channel there are 300 videos shot with either the Canon XA10 or Canon HV20 all in one take

[nestorlovesguitar]

This is the right thing to say to the "whooop" guy: "Shut the fuck up you fucking imbecil or I'll kill you"... Why didn't anybody say so?!

[jakollee]

Thanks for posting this, I love EJ's exploratory intros to "Cliffs..." and it's great to get such a close look at his fretwork!

[jspartacus]

Attention shredders: This is what it looks like when someone plays CHORDS.

[DoubledareTV]

@jspartacus Well, to the metal heads and shit, this is what it sounds like when a guitar is ACTUALLY played.

[xamundx]

1:44 -He's got tourettes... What? -TOURETTES! *laughs*

[Philmen]

Damn there is no cliffs of dover !

[DutchNewbJr]

Please be silece when He's playing.

[TheSingingEllie]

I was at this show.



[trinity9704]

i wish eric took of his guitar and threw it at the moron

[TomTrix99]

Can someone with editing skills please remove that "wooo" guy from the audio! He ruins the whole thing! If I had been there I would have asked him to shut the fuck up!

[FabCad84]

whhooopp!

:-)

hahahahaha

[jsperkin1968]

I wish someone would have throat punched that tourettes jerk off.

[alvicious]

whats with the retard in the audience?

[kenthelpyou]

So Beautiful........

[ejSignStrat]

I dont know if anyone noticed, but theres an amp sitting on a chair behind him, is that the Dumble SSS from his Ah Via Musicom days?? Havent seen him use it for at least 15 years.

[mastertjief]

who is that retard is saying whoop???? please bring him to the clinic next time

[Schlockumentaries]

This was shot in High Definition 1080 on my new Canon XA10, it was the first thing I ever shot with it.

[TICETOCAR]

@Schlockumentaries you get commision on the sales of that camera? ;-) thanks for the upload though :-)

[insaneguitarfreak]

@Schlockumentaries YEAH! THAT is how you record a live performance! plus, that camera lost it´s virginity to eric johnson, lucky device.

[Schlockumentaries]

@insaneguitarfreak LOL, that's an onboard stereo mic on that camera . I specialized in shredding with a camera, very rare

[Nobasic53]

HD? What!!??

[74cuda74]

I just love where Eric stores his pick while playing... geeezzzzz

[MegaMetalero23]

fu k

[elementskater1411007]

I'm sorry....... did someone say "turrets" at 1:46?

[dallmantomo]

@elementskater1411007 "tourettes....hehehe"

[salmonator231]

What the hell, cut out at the best Part of the SONG!!!!

[dallmantomo]

@salmonator231 i second that

[John81HM]

Nice Burberry shirt!!!

[ExELCiS777]

"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP"­

[metalkung]

He is older than my uncle but he looks younger than my father...Ops! sorry daddy!

[steviezace]

Whoever was in the crowd that night was treated to something they might never see again. I am a drummer but I find Eric something more than a Guitar player. His melodies are incredible

[JonnyYang123]

My god Buckethead played there on Aug 18 2011! Buckethead is awesome, on the tops with Eric!

[by0nd]

Wow. THe part where he is using using his pinky and third finger to pluck the strings, but his middle finger, is lightly bringing out the harmonics by slightly tapping in front of what the other fingers are doing, is insane. Its at about 1:07 min

[ZEGO24x]

Awesome photography, and the always awesome Eric...

[username91ification]

god this guy has an unbelievable knowledge of the instrument.

[ZEGO24x]

@raevaughn17 - You, Sir, are a moron, and missed the entire point...

[jheisonlopez0102]

es una guitarra estilo piano wow si que eres el gran eric johnson¡

[jheisonlopez0102]

tarado del whoop!

te patearia el trasero ¬¬

[ShredReviews]

Annoying fucking idiots in bars must die..........tourettes syndrome indeed! This is a prime example of the beauty of Eric's playing and his eternallywonderful tone. Truly one of the best there is :)

[theapriltreeband]

Outrageously beautiful improv.

[drummakid101]

Seriously dude. Shut the fuck up.

[familyguysongs1]

im going to punch that person who is going whoopp!!!!!!

[Lukemanmike]

What a treat, what a guitarist !! Amazing....... Many thanks for posting !!

[shardprime]

Tourette's.

[MultiTreblinka]

god mode

[CiaoGibson]

I only hope the people in that audience knew who they were watching. A living legend (not to mention a nice Burberry shirt) a one of the nicest human beings in the industry. There is only one.

God bless EJ

[11anonomys]

his amp was WAY to quiet.

[RichWrightFloyd19]

That is the good thing about a solo, you can always change it when you play and you hear that this sounds good here, or I want to add this there. That is the nature of solos.

[underthemadz]

omg he soooo old compare to when he made the song :D

[Chromatype]

This is pretty worked out, but sounds so sweet...he has added some chord movement to his vocabulary he wasn't using a decade ago...nice!

[aliensporebomb]

An audience member at 1:46 referring to the whooop guy: "Tourettes."

[gabrielbalbo555]

maguinifico

[TakaraGold]

Wish I could turn back time, be back there and snap the jackass's neck!!! Eric once again proves to be a tone god, chord encyclopaedia and technical-wise, there's nothing to say, he masters speed, jazz voicings, blues, rock. Unparalelled use of FX, all vintage, real echo machines, Vintage Fuzzface, and an uncanny memory for switching between amps, FX, boosters, wothout ever losing any momentum and always being there in absolute control. Wow, looks like I like Eric.

[MrSwartz69]

Whhoooopp!! Whhoooopp!! Whhoooopp!! Whhoooopp!! Whhoooopp!! Whhoooopp!! Whhoooopp!! Whhoooopp!! Whhoooopp!! Whhoooopp!! Whhoooopp!! Whhoooopp!! Whhoooopp!! Whhoooopp!!

[buddaman1971]

beautiful tone and etheral playing. pulling this off beautifully live is SO much more difficult than most shredding. it's really great.

[EquinoxParadox91]

@buddaman1971 Doesn't really matter if it's difficult or not. But you're right, this is great!

[bolajunky]

Master !!!

[jimmy750417]

beautiful performance. amazing!

[BullToTheShit]

I wish somebody would have kicked Mr. Whoooop upside his head.

[StarMakerInc]

this video sucked. The intro was not good and you didn't get much of the song itself, Boooooooooooo

[StrifeGuitar]

White?

[TravisHY]

I would have strangled that "wooo-er" regardless of who was performing. That's just annoying.

[Trepacool]

I Was sitting just next to you! (on your right) :D

I saw you, you were filming him with your biiig camera :D

Anyway, great concert :D

[lakecityboy55]

who was the idiot going "whhooopp!"? What a moron...

[slados1]

@lakecityboy55 I'm surprised no one knocked the ape out, sounds like the guy's had a lobotomy or something...

[Realtoneable]

@lakecityboy55 the guy who pressed dislike button!!

[toomanygittars]

@lakecityboy55 : Hmm. Maybe - just maybe - it was someone who - because of some reason - can't help it..? Like Tourette's. In which case you can't really blame him.

[aqwtube1]

@lakecityboy55 yah wtf was that?

[sirgerry]

@lakecityboy55 Beiber fan at the wrong venue...

[silverain726]

@lakecityboy55 Yngwie Malmsteen?.. LOL

[1dannyrios]

@lakecityboy55 ...that moron going 'whoooop'....maybe just an insecure dick...

[4FunRock]

@lakecityboy55 At 1:44 some guy says it might be Tourettes ;D

[cinematicist]

I was there... an amazing concert!
