CTWIF Podcast Short: G.E. SMITH on touring, working & recording with HALL & OATES 

Hall and Oates' best years were with GE Smith... they might have been the greatest live performance band in the world during those years...GE Smith was incredible.

I could listen to G.E. tell stories all day.

G.E. is a national treasure! amazing musician and storyteller. Great interview

GE’s solos on Hall and Oates records are pure magic.

GE what an awesome guy, and he’s a legend guitarist; he helped make the hits with Hall & Oates! I feel the back up guys don’t get enough credit, for their extraordinary contributions! What an awesomely nice guy! Much love to U💛🌟🎁GE, u helped make my youth awesome, with the amazing music that you made with Hall & Oates! Blessings and love, to U, always!💜

G E is from Stroudsburg PA , heart of the Pocono's.

Oh, Yes absolutely, GE was a sharp dresser and a trendsetter like Daryl, in addition to being one of the greatest guitarist of all time! You are a true legend GE; thank you for sharing your gift with the world! 💜🌟🎁

When EG joined Hall & Oates the guitar section in the band came to life!

I saw GE when he was with Hall and Oates in Austin,Texas back in 1985. When they were at their peak. Great show!!!! He was burning on that Les Paul he used to play!!!

Awesome discussion! 😎👍🏻

For sure, one of G E Smith's amazing achievements would be his work as musical director for the 30th anniversary concert for Bob Dylan.

Man, I love this podcast so much.

I fuuckin love watching Joseph start cracking up. Sometimes at himself. So great

This was a great interview.

H&O brilliant having they guys in their band as part of the whole package. T-Bone, Charlie Dechant, Mickey Curry, and of Course GE where well known due to those video and certainly all had their own personality...especially GE. Dude was all smiles and just playing away. I remember wanting to be Eddie Van Halen, but after getting into Hall and Oates, I wanted to be GE... Cool dude, playing what the song needs.

such a solid, congenial narrative, no pretense, just real placing you there with H&O, the Sara Smiles to Big Bam Boom and especially the advent of MTV and the vids H&O put on; timing, you betcha, but it was the talent too, GE fit like a glove.

When MTV started they had a limited amount of videos so they created bunch of bizarro animated shorts and they would play a block of 15 to 30 minutes of this stuff sometimes with sound and sometimes without. I would love to see those again.

I love all these back stories ❤

Enjoyed.

so crazy hearing his speaking voice…my memories of him are as SNL’s band leader - he was so fly. I had such a crush on him. edited - I just realize I have been following Joseph Arthur on IG for like 5 years and had no idea lol - his face looked so familair. SM is so strange.

Thank you for a great interview…

The Vindys from Youngstown!!!! Great band!!

Love this loose- styled interview .. and letting the guest shine but interacting more naturally like a very relaxed lounge room vibe !!

Awesome interview! Thanks

this is such a good interview. thank you.

Enjoyed the interview and anecdotes.

Great listening

saw GE fronting H&O at the Old Waldorf in SF... crazy good guitar

Kiss on my list was Hall and Oates’ first video on MTV

August 1, 1981

Interesting history.Eddie Zyne introduced G.E to Hall &Oates.I feel like find a piece of puzzle of the history of Hall and Oates.

Brilliance

I wish they still did some club dates (say 2,000 seats). THAT I would pay big bucks to see...

Saw him on the X-Static tour with them at The Bottom Line in NYC in the 70's.

G.E. Smith interviewed by Peter Criss?

G.E.SMITH,,,,,that's all I have to say 🎶

Don't you just love when the interviewer keeps pulling the interview off his story?

The interviewer says "I didn't know that," a little too ,much. Do your research buddy and stop interrupting your guest.

I wish this guy would just let GE talk.

And the UK 😂 seen you every time you toured the UK best years with G E Smith , Tom Tbone woke , Charlie , Mickey Curry .. and of course Daryl , John

He was their greatest guitarist. Did you part ways because you had enough touring, because H&O were slowing down, or what? I always wish you were still with them now.

Oh well I liked GE Smith🎉❤❤❤😮

Dude that guy is older than dinosaur dirt

Let G.E tell it.

How stoned is this interviewer?

How burned out stoned is the Host!!! LoL

Peter Criss without makeup ca 1980 does the interview. Without the Brooklyn accent mind you ☝🏻

One of the REAL Cats......

Cat stephens and Adam Sadler love child .

A crew cut in 1979- yeah that was totally out of place. Lol

Good lord. Anyone who found this video was for Smith, not the annoying interviewer. Just chill and be quiet a little bit.

How many times is this guy gonna interrupt GE with a crappy joke?
