Sign of a good band with the right kind of musicians.....the space they give eachother speaks volumes.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Larry Carlton has never hit a bad note.

it seems that every time Larry Carlson plays it's like a lesson to all the other guitarists on how to do it...............just killer!

OH JESUS! I've just discovered out this amazing player Larry Carlton and now I feel like my day is complete!! He's now one of my influences to play the blues!!

I have seen Larry a bunch of times over a 15 year period....HE LOVES TO PLAY THE GUITAR !

Holy crap! Every hair on my body is standing up. What a tour de force!

I find myself watching this video at least once a week. what great music

more than anybody else these two gentlemen- (together with BB King)- formed the way I play and the tone of my music. They are ridiculous great musicians and guitarists

Around the time a lot of bluesmen were gravitating towards funk, Clapton's work with John Mayall revived the popularity of the classic sound and helped pave the way for blues to continue being popular clear through the SRV revival and up until today. Without Clapton these two might not have been on that stage, in that environment, with that reception.

It never ceases to amuse me that rather than appreciate the contributions made by guitarists, so many use the opportunity to compare & criticise. Why??? What is accomplished by this? Apparently it is in our nature to descriminate and to criticise rather than celebrate.

Everytime I watch this IT BLOWS ME AWAY !

These guys might simply be the two best blues players that ever freakin walked the planet. I can't get enough of it.

Hell yes. I'm still in shock. Larry OWNS.

It's great to watch pros having fun doing what they do best. Love the guitar tones.

Two with tone, taste, mucho chops and SOUL.

Two genious! One of my favorite ones . Best of the best! The real guitar souls!!!!!

It really amazes me how they talk and laugh in the first two minutes while still playing this amazing music, wonder what they are saying to each other. Anyway, Carlton´s tone is nothing but superb, great vid.

I've seen Larry so many times live, and have blown away every time; but this solo is most definitely the pinnacle - even Robben is impressed!! But seriously, Larry is almost always "on", but when he's really on, he brings me to tears. Mind you, I love Robben too, but Larry just burned through this.

I saw these guys yesterday, except Larry and the keyboardist, at Umeå Jazz Festival. It was awesome, cool and rough at the same time! Wonderful music indeed!!

How can they have a little chat and at the same time play so amazing. Their timing are spot on

Larry's killing tone as usual! just wonderfull robben's having a great time too lol two giants indeed

Such a fantastic moment with two monuments of guitar playing and feeling way up high they could touch the sky limits

ahhh feels good to listen to this again after so long!

These guys were great live, especially larry carlton

Larry and Robben bring out the best in each other-- I hope they play together a lot more often. They have been digging each others work for decades. I used to go see them play together at Donte's in North Hollywood back in the '70s and they kicked ass back then! They both had 335s and Boogies but you could always tell them apart if you listened. This track is so good its sublime, it probably goes right over some peoples' heads. Two masters still digging each others craft 30 plus years on THANKS!

These guys were already big favorites for me. Larry from his work w/ Steely Dan and Robben w/ the Yellow Jackets.

Wow, who knew Larry David could play like that ? The girl is pretty good too.

I thought I didn't like the Blues until I saw Robben at Anthology in San Diego. I can't wait to see him in Austin tx in April. What a talent!

Oh my gosh...this sure makes me smile. You are two incredibly gifted men.

Two of my favorite guitarists..

Larry sure knows how to make the guitar sing in a solo, great tension and release, and Robben and him play and compliment each other so well together ! Bravo.

They look like they're having a good time which reminds me of an old old saying; "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life".

excellent. gotta love the sound larry brings out of a 335. robben is great as usual too. awesome duo.

There are so many masters of guitar. NO way to compare them - just enjoy them , maybe learn and earn some inspiration- to excel your own way- make your own path... tx. for posting this... amazing musicians - all of them !

That's gotta be one of Larry's best solo's!

Just love watching & listening to these guitar Gods...

Most awesome. A couple of TrueFire Artists jamming away.

You know,I've been real sad for many years about the type of stuff Carlton has decided to get involved with.He was my hero when he did all the Steely Dan records.I have not been moved by him in years...........then I saw this! Really great!Ford is always great and how about that gold top and all those Dumble amps!!Dan

Well, Dan, you have to remember, Larry was, and still is at heart, a session player, and everything he has done is absolutely great, because Larry plays from the heart, always from the heart! Dan, I still get the chills after almost thirty years! No other player has done that to me, except Robben Ford! Ditto, on the chills! Over 100 GOLD records! L.C's got it! Take care! GEETARNUT

まあ、この二人が揃ったら、敵無し 最強です! ギターを鳴らす事にかけては、文句無しの二人ですね! 真の天才二人に献杯🎉

Awesome two of the greats of today.

Geezus!!! Saw something on a forum recently: "Play like you have something to say, not like you have something to prove." Between these two, I think they've just about said it all. They proved you can play your ass off and STILL be saying something.

Carlton's solo is magical

I play an Epiphone ES-335 myself, and I really love the thick sound of the neck pick-up - both clean (for jazz primarily) and distorted (for dirty blues :-)

I love Larry he is just awesome,but this Robben guy is bad ass too!

These guy's took me there and brought me back... What a trip!

Now I'm smilin'!!!

Outstanding!! Larry's having a little fun near the end of his solo, and Robben seems to be enjoying it too. Fingers on fire. :D

Sometimes I think I'm bored with blues-based guitar playing but performances like this show there's life in it yet.

2 enormes guitaristes ,que du plaisir ,une sensibilité ,un touché ,

This guys are really true blues players,Larry played for a while with the Crusaders and Robben with Yellow Jackets,L.A scene,for the people that did't know. They are my favorites since 1980.

SPECIALISTS IN MUSIC !!!!

Carlton is just on fire. Splendido !

As a guitarist I'm drawn to Ford and Larry, but I gotta say, that drummer is incredible!

I have even read about 17s...what is insane, he was a pure legend . R.I.P Stevie

Just this past august i saw Buddy Guy and BB king in LA and I was blown away..especially at their age..and now I am equally melted by these 2 guys....truly does not get any better thanks for postin this!

Sublime playing, from two masters.

Sublime. Timeless. Two Masters. Two Gentleman. Wonderful

This is the stuff I really like from both, more than the jazzy. Seems like they are really feelin' it.

These are the TOP DOGS..wow! what a solo by Larry.....Robben always good...

Superb!!!! Absolutely superb!!!!!!

Cold, Cold is Great, Great!! thanks for posting this!

Larry Carlton's one of those "one note" guys...by which I mean he hits one note and you go "oh hey that's Larry Carlton"

such a kick ass solo from larry.

I went to one of their shows in nashville this year. It was amazing man!

Two of my favorite artists. I've seen Larry at the Concord Pavilion and Yoshi's. Outstanding! I'm a harmonica player and jam to Robben's CD's all the time. You guys rock.

two of the best ever

Mr.Larry Carlton master guitar player woe man!

Made my day ! LC is plain awesome! SHREDMASTER !

beautiful performance !

Smoooookin'....w/soul!!!

Awesome!!

Robben Ford is so freakin good...

Maestro!

....yet when i told it it was fantastically well received. I'm glad you take these things seriously though. There isn't enough seriousness around.

I saw them play lastnight in Chicago .... Robben , Larry , Larry's son Travis on bass , Gary Novak on drums.... they were just amazing.

amazing!!!!!!!

That is the funniest comment I have ever herd about Larry " he is country" Larry as a guitar player is about one of the BEST all around alive today .......Period! Country...HA HAA HAAA FUNNY SHIT !!

Larry dropped down some organ licks at the end...and he and Robben both laughed because they KNEW it was a Jimmy Smith( or McDuff,etc) lick! Great seeing two friends with such ability jamming together and supportive.

Perfect blues!

this is the best!!

History, dude.

This is frickin GREAT!!! I have not seen either guitarest play too much with others! Thx 4 sharing.

i feel so blue.. i'm feeling the blues..

Oh man, this is the sh!t!!! These two should play together all the time. Larry's 335 sounds beautiful as always. The subtle interplay between these two great guitarists is truly inspiring to watch and listen to.

I'VE NEVER FELT SO BLUE!!

this has got to be one of my all time fave. videos. bsolutely superb stuff neillian

Larry .BLOWS IT UP at 3:30......way cool look at Robben also he can't beleive it!

best tone ever

Great video. There's about a quarter million dollars' worth of Dumbles on that stage. Saw Carlton a few months ago and he tore my face off.

Guitar heaven thank youtube.

omg larry carlton lit it up

why can't more guitarists out there learn that sometimes, you only need 4 or 5 REALLY good notes as opposed to 100 fast ones... the phrasing here is PERFECT! this is so good it hurts...

that transition from ford with the volume pedal at 4:47 after larry's awesome solo is the smoothest shit i've ever heard.

thats what i call music.

I love Larry's finger plucking tone. What a show that must have been. 2 of my heros. I noticed Robben messes up 1:23.

Larry KILLS !

Couldn't agree more. I thought, 'holy cow, how's Robben going to follow *that*?' And then, well... there you go.

so nice i downloaded it ;)

Wow,nice!!!
