Larry Carlton: truefire.at/Lar... 335 Records: truefire.at/335... RU-vid: truefire.at/Lar... Facebook: truefire.at/Lar... Twitter: truefire.at/Lar... Larry/Robben and company perform "Burnable" live in Osaka, Japan.
One of the best drummers on the scene today. MASSIVE feel. Not to mention the two guys messing around on the guitar... just saw them live last week. Great guys, absolutely zero BS attitude about them.
A dream "pairing". I've been a fan of both for many years. This is is a feast of great playing by two masters of taste, phrasing and soul. Dig it! I wish we could see them down in Texas--y'all have a lot of fans down here...
How anyone could check this as a "dislike" is beyond me. What, not enough autotune for ya? These two guys defined an entire era and they keep getting better. Great track. .
Defence hell, These guys are incredible. Put on your phones and listen full blast. Any "Jones" for excellent guitar is met and exceeded with these two artists! Holy sh*t.
Beautifully said, Laxer3232. This is true ensemble...where everyone listens and is suportive of the soloist, while at the same time having the freedom to stretch out however they choose within the parameters of their function in the music. Nothing more rewarding and satisfying.
This video was taken from a Larry/Robben show at the Blue Note in Osaka, Japan on 9/1/06. Larry and Robben are doing a few more dates in the states in august, so check 'em out on our myspace (/335records) or youtube bulletin. -335
Damn, this band is playing some tight funky sh*t. Its a great tune and really showcases how good it can be when these two great guitarists play together. Love Robben's tone and the diminished licks he plays and the outside stuff at 2:55 is really cool.
Just blows most everyone else away...Lot of posers out there that couldn't hold a candle...Amazing that Larry Carlton survived a random act of violence, being shot in the neck and left for dead....Comes back by God's grace and performs at a level beyond most...
Holy gawd, this obtuse and angular frame forces the soloists to deliver above and beyond the call of duty and damned if these mofos don't rise to the occasion. Respect.
its not just robben and larry who are playing awesome, its the whole band... exspecially the drummer and the bass player are playing an awesome groovy style and the organist is just playing a little bit but it allways fits perfect in my opinion
The "Big Boy" on bass is Larry's son.... Don't remember his name but, He smokes! Larry is very proud of him. I saw them 2 years ago.. same line up but without Robben. Great blues show... Saw Robben at the same place last year... Crystal Bay club in Tahoe, small room, very intimate. Great shows!
Toss has been around the LA scene for a while; one of the underground guys who has been on a lot of sessions; especially with players' players like Mike Keneally, Jeff Babko, Karizma (99), Robben Ford (Toss has contributed to Robben's last two studio efforts), Frank Gambale, Mike Landau, etc. He taught at PIT in Hollywood from 87-96. Certainly a qualified cat.
On one hand I think RF is totally outclassed by LC here. LC's solo approach is awfully bold, and is probably the only way he could follow RF's fireyness without actually trying to one-up him -- which he's totally capable of. On the other hand, I love RF's snappy attack and tone, & how he takes these big, clean bites out of that diminished form they're both working. Woof! I love this.
AWESOME!!!!!!!! I've go my ticket for The crest Theatre in Sacramento on 8/2/07 I CAN'T WAIT! Thanks for posting this. Video looks proffesional, is this coming out for the public????
All of you guys out there keep on talking about these two talented guitar cats, which of course is not particularly surprising since it is their show :) but you all seem to forget the engine in this concert, Toss Panos drummer extraordinary. No matter what you have to believe this Toss runs the show with his brilliant and magical drumming. So keep on discussing lines and riffs, guitar amps, chords, who plays better than the other, whatever...but tha drummer is the man in this show
Robben Ford is a very deceptive player... First he tricks you into thinking "Hey, that's easy, it sounds great but I can play like that too!", but after a few seconds he shows his master skill in jazz-playing, with all the notes out of scale, jazz licks, great technique and out-of-the box melodic thinking... A real pleasure for my ears.
Well then! The hobo I have bound and gagged in the basement, who is being forced to watch this repeatedly has an excellent taste in music! Good to know.
Nuthin but good shi&*% here! My friend had some nice bootlegged cassettes of Robben with the yellowjackets in Redondo beach in the early 80's. I was waiting for Larry to darn near smack the drummer here because he wanted it WAAAAAY down low in volume. Both players are in my top 10 faves and if anybody out there thinks they play guitar should listen to these dudes as a reality check and standard to shoot for! imo
1st how long have you been playing? these 2 are seasoned veterans of the road for decades now...this makes me just want to practice more and more..learn more..read more therory..even tho i'm a 30 plus yr player..these 2 are amazing and 2 of my faves
@ZZDROSS You're dead right, Panos is an ANIMAL, in the best sense of the word.... I was lucky enough to catch him with RF and dang that boy rules the house.
@jconstant ahaha *just to tell u* no one got out of key here o_O empozzible ahaha when one of the soloist call a certain key in a certain moment it means he is going to solo over a certain scale or substitute, it's just a hint **
@mmorper1987 they write soloing vehicles for themselves. like miles did (all blues, so what, most of the later stuff). it's their genre.scofield, metheny, carlton, ford . a few riffs, a few complex syncopated hits, a couple stops on a wild sounding chord, and then just play over a couple of chords. if it was misty or a beatle tune it wouldnt work like this does. not enough room to really do what they do best, blast endlessly creative bluesy funky riffs. think about it.
Ahem. Looking at this, I guess I'm possibly partially to blame for the 'competition' thing, though unintentionally so. These guys are both amazing. Amazing! Can I play like this? Hah! Not even close. Can I appreciate different aspects of their styles? You bet. LC is older and perhaps more audibly seasoned. RF might be younger, but I dig his phrasing and articulation more in a way. Can I express an opinion? Why not? But I'll say it again: Both of these dudes are absolute monsters. Peace.
Sorry to disagree with you. Saw Larry many times in late 70s before he was shot. His playing was a bit more raw and rocked out. He was always a frustrated be bopper (he told me so in an interview), and his playing after he was shot is more refined and softer in comparison. Either way, he's one of the greats!
