Back in 1996 we are at Wolf mountain in Park City, Utah for the further festival and hot tuna was up on stage. We were sitting second row off to the left with a slight breeze blown directly into the band and we were packing bowls with topped off with cobwebbed opium. After getting clobbered by the wafering wiffs of of our ancient incense and dank buduring Jorma chimes in during a song break and quotes the Old Milwaukee beer commercial and exclaimed, "You know guys, it just doesn't get any better than this!!" Truth right there

Everyone I knew as a teenager in the 60's loved music old or new. We loved the "new" groups like The Jefferson Airplane and followed their amazing career. Hot Tuna was essential listening and still is.

Holy shit Jack is holding a whale of a bass. Somehow it brings me joy to see Jack and Jorma still kicking it old school.

Jack and Jorma have been playing this tune for over 50 years now, I know because this was one of the first songs I tried to learn when I about 14. As an aside, this song is credited to the incredible (blind) Rev Gary Davis, who taught Jorma, along with many of the other top guitarists from the 60s. If you know of Davis's work you can hear him even now in Jorma's rendition of this piece. Unfortunately Davis is not well known except amongst folk & rock historians, but definitely worth the check out. Sadly he passed in 1972. There is a great biography of him by Ian Zach. See also Wikipedia for a brief bio.

Absolutely 💯 cred to Rev Gary Davis! Thanks for the bio recommendation and enjoying my song catch from FloydFest's historic Workshop Porch.

I went to summer camp in Connecticut and the guitar student was a student of Rev Gary Davis. He got him to come to the camp and give a concert. A day I will never forget. I even have about 20 photos. This is a great cover musically nut vocally does not come close to the original.

I do believe the song predates Gary Davies…

I wouldn't think of myself as a blues historian anywhere near as deep as Robert Crumb, but Rev Gary Davis was a sought after teacher of an authentic finger picking style. Bobby Weir was a student, among some notable other luminaries. For years I wondered about that until I watched a KZfaq video with lots of closeups of his right picking hand. I was floored, killing floored, man... He used only his thumb and forefinger, except for an occasional back knuckle roll. Jorma cheats and uses 3-4 fingers...😁 I just flail away with random abandon.

I still remember seeing these guys bacvk in 1973 at the Academy of Music in NYC. They played for about 4 hours staright with nary a break. Pretty much the entire house was tripping on Owsley acid (me too). It was a religious experience to say the least.

I saw Hot Tuna in early 1993 at Bogart’s in Cincinnati. Much to my surprise, Papa John Creach joined them on stage. When he came onto the stage I took a deep breath of joy and had tears in my eyes as I didn’t think he was still alive. (He passed away a year later.) His 1971 self-titled album is one of my favorites, along with the 1972 Hot Tuna album he played on, Burgers.

My first concert, Hot Tuna, in Stony Brook NY. Cat Stevens was the opener, but the routy Long Island crowd was there for Tuna, and booed Stevens. Dumb asses. After 2 songs, Cat said, "Hey, if you're not into it", stood up and left. House lights came up, and Tuna didn't come on for like an hour. I don't think they were in the building! But after they did, I was hooked. Papa John and the boys stole my musical heart and I've been a fan ever since. I play their stuff and was lucky to go to so many live shows and was never disappointed. F'ing Tuna!

I dropped out of church when I was a teenager. Now I read the Bible every day amd participate in a gathering of other believers. Church is necessary for community. People are messy. That's what love is all about. If you're by yourself you're not loving people.

@edsimmons3352 24 күн бұрын

Church isn’t the only or necessarily the best way to participate in community. A few close friends meeting over coffee and bagels talking about their days is sufficient. The belief is what matters; godbothering is not required.
