T.J. Has always been my favorite hidden gem. All of these guys actually. Not many people have heard about Brett either. At least in my age group. And when I attended MI in 2012. T.J. was by far the most humble, nice, and unique personalities I’ve ever met. I’m blessed to have spent any time, short as it was, with him in any regard, let alone learning from him. Since then he’s always been my go to for something I can just listen to. And enjoy. And same with Brett.

Most underrated guitar duo in my opinion,

Who's amazed with T.J vocals?

I got a ‘91 Bret Cd Big Sky It’s special, one of those records that’s more than just great musicianship. It’s gotta vibe to it making it timeless Great record 👍🏻

This is legato ear heaven for me. Magical.

Garseds solo's really touch me, marvelous!

T.J. Helmerich playing is magical. One of the best i heard. Also, these are one of the best fusion bands i have heard.

this is probably my favorite live concert, been on google vid forever. amazing improvs all around.

OMG.. I was there.This is so cool,, Thanks guys for sharing this.!!!

Wonderful band with Virgil Donati and Ric Fierabracci!

Both Garsed and mr. Helmerich are just soooooo insanely good that it has actually taken thus long for me atleast to get my ears around them omg !!!

Awesome Awesome Awesome. These guys are awesome.

I just have done with a comment on another video in which I wrote .. Helmerich and Garsed are the biggest forgotten when we talk about the legacy of the Greatest guitarists Over the decades .

Insoportablemente y extremamadamente full....🙃🙃😌😮😎

Thanks man

That bass player!

Damn, that was just great! I'd come across the name "Brett Garsed" a while back but never bothered to dig into his music, but then the other day I came across a thumbnail to a video of song he and TJ Helmerich did and gave that and some others a listen. I'm sure glad I did that. TJ's solo at 25:30 was probably my favorite in this video, and it really makes me want to learn 8-finger tapping. Keyboard solos were also great and loved the drum solo at the end, and I'm not even a drummer. Brett G. was also great with his phrasing and all, of course. Oh, and the guy with the strange hat...loved his tone and his solo was quite well-done, if a little unimaginative, at least in comparison to the other axe men here. Bravo to all involved.

Great song!!

The song is called "Mirage" and its from the Garsed/Helmerich album called "Quid Pro Quo".

sooooo good

excellent band!!

Best duo ever

Dat cameraman closing on Brett while he's tunning his guitar at Tj's solo...

Great 👍 duo

Christ, band of monsters!

Best. For ever….

The bassist is the epitome of relaxation lol.

❤️❤️

The bass guy is amazing too...

killer rippin tone

The mighty Virgil Donati on drums and Garsed on guitar = half of one of the best prog rock outfits of all time - Planet X

Extra !!!

that drum solo at 21:00 and then he looked over XD he knew he was nasty with it.

Fuckin hell. What a band.

Picked up some great tuning tips from this

Just amazing, I wish these guys would do a studio album together.....

mr Virgil donnati on drums ! What amazing group !

Ah yes. The good shit 👌

bass yeaah

Jaw on the floor!

Thank you for posting this! Are you sure that this is '98 though?

Omg fuckin Brett though!!

All are currently amazed with Guthrie nowadays but here's Tj and Brett cloaked by the Legendary Shadows of guitar supremacy.

gigantes do fusion....

first song is called "yerba buena bells"

whats the name of this song 16:29 T.J.s singing

Quick look on his website suggests that is the "Brian Moore MC-1"

Thanks a lot to share this ! Do you know how I can download this gig in audio format ?

Incredible! Do these guys still play together? Any tours planned for the Northeast US?

Not only is TJ Helmerich a phenomenal player, he literally sounds like Robert Plant when he sings.

Great! Someone gave me the name of the bass player?, I love that solo from the beginning

35:35 + soul depth quantifiable sheeiit

looks like Virgil Donati on drums

Are you sure this is 1998? I was attending M.I. then and the T.J. mullet wasn't there!....

whats the name of first song, killer harmony killer melody, something absent in most of music we hear get to hear today

there has to be a louder one

Why is there such a low volume on this video?

anyone know the name of the song the play at 33:15?

OMG! are they human? a bunch of monsters in music!

Can someone please explain the insanity on one of their records the oddball piece "Mr. Banancreas"? I keep thinking it must be about some music instructor based upon the introduction.

Hey! Is this from a VHS video cassette. I am asking because the whole performance is a bit out of tune? It can actually only be explained if that’s the case :-) the pitch has been altetred slightly :-) I’m a Big fan of T.J. Helmerich and Brett Garsed too😊

Unfortunately just before the show the band and equipment were shrunk to one tenth normal size in a technological accident, hence why they are so quiet. Thanks for posting though, the 'little fellas' are on fire here, I could have listened all day!

Oh and one more thing... Brian Moore Guitar and a Steinberger!

Can anyone provide us with the set list and band line-up?

What's the first song's name?!

RICK FIERABRACCI

sus2s forever

whats the name of the first song?

What kind of guitar is Brett playing?

Brian Moore MC1

Who's on bass?

It was at MI, not MIT!

44:30 HAHAH he tries to hit that note 3 times and nothing. that's funny right there. Live music... it's always something. cord gets stepped on, fuse blows, string breaks... fan attacks, string gets caught under a bad fret... TJ has a smooth timing and Brett's sound is kind of similar but he's doing hybrid picking. Some nice sections in this show.

36:30

2:22 what happened there??

Holy mackerel ... I think I just shite myself.. Is it me or is Brett Garsed too good.. I mean the human ear can only hear so many notes.... right? ;-)

48:27 48:52　自分用

Is that the great Virgil Donati on drums?

Well...It's Virgil Donati.What did you expect?:D

Who's the bass player?
