I went to George’s house to help setup a new keyboard with a producer I work for as an engineer and he showed us his guitar practice and a bunch of tunes for a couple hours and then we all sipped on some crazy expensive whiskey. One of the best nights of my life

I think that after the gig, when I got home, I would take that white guitar, put it on a stand in the living room and just stare at it for the rest of the night trying to understand how George could find the music he played on it! Took him all of ten seconds to get his tone out of it. The band's guitarist strapped on a guitar but then just took it back off and spent the rest of the song just watching George. Can't say I blame the guy. I think of George Benson walked on stage when I was doing a gig, I probably wouldn't be able to play Mary Had a Little Lamb. This must have been such an honor.

I saw many of the greats perform live in concert in the 70's and 80's. Michael, Prince, Earth, Wind & Fire, U2, Bowie, Heart, Bryan Adams. All of their shows were spectacular. But my favorite all time live concert moment was George Benson playing "This Masqurade" at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles. George and the band played the song down just like the record and when they were done the stage lights went down the spotlight hit George and his guitar and he proceeded to play the song again by himself using the craziest jazz block chords, scatting and guitar ad libs I have ever heard in my life. I could not believe what I was hearing!!! I remember looking at my girlfriend in shock I was so amazed at what I was hearing. I grew up listening to herbie, chick, weather report, etc... And my father was a well known tap dancer in 50's who performed with Duke, Basie and Nat King Cole and my Godfather is the late great Erroll Garner. So I had heard some amazing jazz musicians before that night I saw George. Hands down the best live concert moment I ever saw! 🎼🔥👍💥

I once met George Benson; he was unexpectedly in the audience at a Roy Ayers gig in Ronnie Scotts around the turn of the millennium. He went up & did an impromptu tune with the band much like this, borrowing their guitar... Afterwards I eagerly sought him out in the audience as a big fan to thank him for his music (loved his Cookbook era) & as a jazz guitarist myself ask for any tips at all. He was super nice & friendly, but said he only had a few minutes to spare as had to chat to friends & to advise any nuances on the guitar would take way longer than that for him to even begin... Was just an honour to meet him I thought... I was at the club with my brother & at that time we looked much alike... My brother had been missing for ages so I looked around & eventually went to the upstairs bar to find him looking very confused... He told me George had appeared just offering tips on the guitar & they'd gone aside for a long advisory chat... He was too bewildered to ask why Mr Benson had proffered to give him so many tips & too starstruck to question why or really take it all in (he's also a jazz guitarist however so it fit in a bizarre & cosmically intuitive way for him!)... Turns out George wasn't remotely giving me any brush off earlier & after catching up with his buddies had later pulled my brother aside thinking he was me to really help out with some advice. I'll always really really rate him as a legendary man just for taking that time for me even if I didn't get to share it first hand!

It's not just that you're old, it's that your ears have shut down and you're not trying to find awesome new music. That's your right, the best from 100 years of recorded music will inevitably outclass whatever this decade can contribute, but spare us your dismissal of music made today.

It's almost a fear to do what they want, The Stones were surprised when they went back to their roots recently. They released the album with a slight warning it wasn't very rock n roll. It was loved by the fans. Some of the modern guys judt need to let rip, stop trying to keep up an image. They are good enough I'm sure. That David guy who covered Simon and Garfunkle's sound of silence for example.

Been down that rabbit hole man. Bought and sold several guitars hoping, "this is the one." I'm fairly good, these guitars are as good as they come, but in no way can that combination even approach the virtuosity of George Benson. At times, I hav wanted to burn guitars, throw them in the river or smash them with a hammer. It's a false church! As so clearly demonstrated here, it took George maybe ten seconds to get his tone and get acclimated to this little overdrive shredder guitar, a guitar I would not even pick up, and tear the roof off the house with it. He has always been and always will be my single biggest influence, even though I can not play anything remotely like him. This video is yet again an inspiration, a call to get back and practice more today. Thanks as always George Benson. Truly the best ever.

I've been going to concerts for 45 years, and his performance in Fort Lauderdale on the tour after "Weekend in LA" was released still sticks with me. He and his band put on an astounding exhibition of the highest possible musicianship.

King George! I met George Benson thru Phyllis Hyman in P.A. What a treat! Later that evening Grover Washington Jr. and Ralph McDonald came walking thru the door. What a night just listenening to all of their stories.

having been into george starting in the late 70's ,i consider myself extremely "blessed" to watch and hear george in this clip. we have been given a man's accumulated skill and maturity that he's acquired over the years . this for me is way richer and deeper than anything we got from the early george . what a precious historical document . it's just like old good wine . george and the boys caught the magic that night .pity the vid quality is so crap.but despite the poor vid quality we can still catch and feel the exceptional performance . i suspect george was front and centre for this and really tried hard for the guys that called him on stage because they honoured him so much .that's what made it way better than anything i've seen heard him do.he really put his whole heart into this plus a bit more for the guys .it was a personal thankyou from george to them because they were smart enough to recognise more than most people what he's capable of ..they made it hard for him and set the bar really high when they addressed him as THE GREAT GEORGE BENSON . but george jumped up and over with ease .and brought the GREATNESS with him

Perhaps his best live version of "On Broadway" by the master of the guitar Mr. George Benson.

Wow, this is some of most aggressive playing I've ever seen Benson do. Killer stuff.

Anybody else just realize the influence Benson probably had on Raul Midon. So so similar in their timing, licks, skats, tone. Can’t believe it took me 15 years. Any Raul Midon fans out here? I’m realizing now that he’s like the love child of Stevie Wonder and George Benson

I've seen him live 15 times in Paris and Spain. He's a giant, a legend. Great bass solo.

OMG!! This was the most amazin piece of guitar playing ever!!! Funky or what!! Feel like I have rediscovered George again. Saw him in concert in UK in the 90's and he was awesome. Going to buy his new tribute to Nat K Cole!!! Happy 70th George-looking good!!!!! X
