JJ Cale & Leon Russell at the Paradise Studios, LA 1979 

interstategar oo.

@interstategar I fully subscrive!!! Sooo true!

Big Band up in the skies is getting to be way bigger and interesting than down here on Earth... along with JJCale and Leon Russell, many great ones are already sorely missed here. Undoubtfully RnR was a unique, unrepeatable season in music history. Great times when they were all alive and kickin'!

right on!

interstategar too true brother, peace to you.

After midnight Is cool, smoking a cigg while playing.

Rilassante, armonioso, dolce❤❤

The Tulsa sound

😊

Two proud Tulsans and godfathers of the legendary Tulsa Sound!😊

Righteous!!! Love these guys!!!!!

I feel lucky to have seen so many great bands. What a great time to be young.

They are only dead,not alive,which demands balls of steel to get over sixty!

Insieme sono sublimi

Thank you for this important information!

do you know who the other guy on guitar is?

Whoops! Further research indicates he is Bill Boatman. I had his name but not his instrument in my initial comment but I have revised it now.@@woollythewombat995

awesome, thanks!@@SingleMalt77005

Thank you so much! Do you know if Leon played piano for Joe Cocker? Does anyone know please? This is an incredible lineup.. unique sound so chilled and laid back and one just wants more and more ❤

I'm totally agree with you

I saw Leon Russell at a small-ish club of like 3-400 ppl about 6 months before he died. Even in old age- one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen.

I saw Leon Russell

Totally agreed but I bet he’d love to have played a full house though.

@@jjmuni Of course! We guessed that he was in town for one night and just decided why not? and played a small venue. I can't even remember the name of the place.. DC in the old days had all kinds of cool little places like Blues Alley..I am just grateful that I got to see some of the greatest musicians just because I lived in Alexandria.

Nice.

JJ was the only person who never stepped on cocaine! :)

You know what the dream team could have been in dreams: Leon Russell, JJ Cale and Mark Knopfler

And Eric Clapton, of course

You Bet; slow and bluesy boogie!🎉

That sucks man . You were a part of history and didnt even get a mention? I believe you.

youtube is huge and now I believe you will receive the credit and recognition you deserve. Excellent job sir, I salute you. If nothing else you have a memory of being part of something that most will never come close to. Thank you for your efforts.

That is what happens when you work with a bunch of guys who are drugged out of their gourds. Only the dope providers receive the recognition. I appreciate your time and expertise. It was nice listening.

Which drugged out guys are you referring to? It wasn't the audio/video crew - I can attest to that. It wasn't the musicians. Many musicians don't partake and if they ever did it was way back in the 60s when they were young and was long since put aside. These here musicians are like that. I know them all personally. If you played in their bands and were found to do drugs you were fired immediately. You will find that the better the musicians - the less foolishness is tolerated. It's hard enough to play music this well when sober. Same is true with highly technical jobs like audio/video.The work is too demanding to be accomplished if you are high or drunk. So again - what are you talking about? What I am pissed about is that 30 some years after this show was played,recorded,edited and finished it fell into someone's hands who put their names on it, released it and are making money off it as if they - not we - were responsible for it's existence. It's not about drugs,drug "providers" or whatever you're talking about. It's about money and honesty.

Yep. Money and honesty, too.

Thank you for the service!

You know what you did and why we thank you.

Thank you Sir !! All the best to you !!

THANKS!

🙏

ME2...I LOVE IT.......I love playing my guitar along with it, because it just is SO COOL........Leon, he REALLY is SO funny here too, he is really enjoying himself, as is averyone else, here, playin with the "man".... JJ.........I guess he played with a lot of people, in his life.......Clapton sure enjoyed playing with him too..I must have played this vid about 50 times already, and NEVER get tired of it.....Such great music like this is timeless...

This is what musicians do Jimi would've fit right in there

Whew!! You aren’t kidding😅

This along with larry carlton bb king session 😊

You choose to view a clip that you know is JJ Cale and proceeded to later on complain you're kind of bored with him and others. We all have different tastes in music, but I just don't understand the need to go to a specific presentation and explain how you don't care for that musician. We all have equally valid interest in various types of music, and you're certainly entitled to your opinion. Not trying to start an argument just curious what your motive was when you posted that. Thank you.

@@michaelmiller7160 appreciate your honesty, we all have our favorite music. Peace! 🎶🎶✌✌

@@incrediblesimilarity5858 JJ Cale if you saw him in person you would know he was a perfection no bootlegs much respect 👏 peace

Hell yeah I can imagine. I was lucky enough to get turned on to JJ in my teens. Eugene Weaver sunstudiorocks@gmail.com

I thought JJ was God when in my teens. I still do. Like Leon too. But JJ always one of my favorites. Eugene Weaver sunstudiorocks@gmail.com

That's some damn good advice right there. If there's a show, and you're wondering "should I go?", the answer is yes. I've sure let a lot of opportunities slip away over the last 25 or 30 years. Damnit.

Exactly 💝🎼☮️🎼💝

amen brother...much younger, but enjoyed all those bands BACK THEN!!!....a big hug from the bus people!!!!

talk about live music, our band, the bus people sets up at shows with full rock band equipment, then whomever likes can play the instruments and drums.....my favorite live show was not c.s.n. or the dead, but buffy st. marie on the new haven green about 20 years back. And then seeing her ten feet away at the first iraq war protest in washington singing the universal soldier, just her and a guitar and mabe 40 or so people.

@@Maria-tm2eu That's what I do . . . and I'm Scottish and live in Munich, Germany - and despite covid there's plenty good live music (of the right sort . . . . . !!!) going on out here!!

Absolutely true.

you can buy your own copy, they're out there. I've got one

JJ Cale & Leon Russell absolutely killed it with this show. Wish I could've been there in person. If you vibe with this, you'll love jamming out to Kaz Bielinski's newest single "Love Never Dies"!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2vosjfyBXJM.html

Still sweet sounds and kickin lyrics in 2024.

Make that 2024 now

Who's the chick in the blue playing the Gibson? I think we met in August of '69 at that big music festival in NY at Tasker's Farm.

One of the best?

@@danielhickman2583 It's enough to just say that I'm a huge fan 🙂 Songwriting is just such a broad spectrum! I think JJ had his very own unique style which even Eric Clapton followed with a certain amount of awe. I'll bet there are many big names out there who were inspired by this man. Mark Knopfler is another. These sessions are really classic JJ Cale at just the right time. Nice to see him getting 5 million views. That's a lot of views for a guy who didn't even enjoy promoting his new albums by touring, etc. When you hear him chatting away in between songs, you can tell he's enjoying it all a great deal ♥

Music lives on!!!✌️💗

Mine for 51 years 🤣

Mine for 30 years

With Tony Joe White

fantastic! would have loved to meet him!

A great lifetime memory and achievement! PS. I’m really jealous

🙏

Songs like Cocaine and After Midnight,is not influenced by JJ Cale-they are his compositions!!!Just thought it was important to know.I bought his albums as they got made.And he just got better and better-Rest in Peace.

Christine’s backing vocals was prettier damn cool.

This and larry carlton with bb are sublime.

I guess that once JJ started collecting song writing royalties he might have thunk to himself that he could just slide on by. He was unknown to most of us for a time. Yet another good reason to read liner notes, when you can get them. That seems to be a thing of the past. Bands used to include the names of instruments and musicians on the recordings and I used to study them. You might be surprised at what you can learn from liner notes. Liner notes is a term from back in the time of vinyl LP records.

Hahahaha, me too. Genius!

Welcome✌️

what the hell do they know

you made me laugh how proper your statement is

You probably won't, subhumans w/ no musical taste are bottom feeders. ♫ ♪ ♫ I had forgotten all about Bell having those dam skates on!!! So danged cool, .....how'd you like to be living up in that canyon & get to hear this?!?!?

STOP, STOP, thinking of them as "people" -- those are merely russian bots and trolls, here to spread ill feeling. Best ignore them.

Well it is now 2020 and the neg count is 600+. This has to be a Facebook game of thumbs down to x number of ups? It doesn’t make sense. Maybe they are trumpers these days. No accounting for taste I guess. This is the best.

Huge credits so large to the music world. Amen!!!

He really loved small venues. Didn't like a lot of people around, and he was always personal.

How do you know? The truth is that you don't know so do us all a favor and just keep quiet

Lucky you my man. I never got to see JJ. One thing I'll never do on my bucket list. Did see Leon several times. Last year with Dave Mason and they were both great. Leon hadn't been that good in years. Nothing like giging with a brother.

John Spriggs, I saw Leon Probably 7 times in my life, the first time was the Mad Dogs and Englishman tour in 1970 or what ever year it was, What A Show...... The Last time I saw Leon was in Tucson AZ Late 2015 or early 2016, my memory is not that good anymore... Cousin Figel

speaking to iron feliks asshole

Much thanks for this valuable information. And I would ask your help for confirmation: The bass for After Midnight is played by Nick Rather, then. Am I right, Forrest George?

Just never know when you'll happen across a magical Forrest input moment! Thank you, from a Feat Fan.

Ambrose Campbell My best male friend. Miss him very much :(

Thank you!!!

Leave it to a Deadhead to have all the details down! Cheers!

@@johnnygrossman7440 Thanks Johnny! I'll check it out.

Do u know who the girl is playing with them ?

@@jackyblue67same10that’s Christine Lakeland - Mr Cale’s partner

Jimi Hendrix

agreed

@@velouric Neil Young said the two greatest rock guitarists ever were Jimi and JJ.

And Duskhunter is the wisest man in the universe. End of discussion.

Not even in the top 5. Get real.

Looks like Elton John beat him to it. He is in, though 😀

But they still have left behind a legacy, and here we are still getting entertained IN PERPETUITY! ❤💔 Yes I’ve missed some bands I never got to see. But I saw some great ones. We saw Dylan a few years back at The Edgfield Oregon, near Portland. I never got to see any Beatles. I saw Aerosmith and Neil Young. Then more recently we saw U2 in BC Vancouver. That was mind blowing 🤷🏼‍♀️☮️💟☯️

And I remember as a teen when I could have seen ZZ Top, J J Cale and Jo Jo Gun but I didn't. :-(

well said, couldn't agree more man.

Right. This is music. Once upon a time music actually existed. It's not a boob, ass, pussy, neon light, costume, haircut, brand ... it's something very humanistic and full of easy spirit.

@@DS-yg4qs yes, because no cheesy,flashy,shallow,overproduced and utterly forgettable pop music existed in the late 70s. Comparing the worst of today to the best of yesteryear is kind of unfair.

@@fintanoclery2698 Indeed.

@@DS-yg4qs Don't forget the glossy low-riders that go back to the custom trailers when the vid was over.

@@fintanoclery2698 ok. What is the best of today? Your mouth is faster than your brain pal.

He built his own guitar! So I say he is unique:)

Cale's playing is better than EC too.

Both Slowhands

@@SolaceEasy You are aware of reason for name “Slow Hand”; according to EC, he was VERY slow replacing string when one had broken. I bet JJ can replace one lickedy split!!

I can't stop either, it's seriously addicting !! And, you will find that you want to listen again and again and tomorrow and very possibly for the rest of your life ! I'm afraid I'll never get into recovery from this music. Appreciate you're feeling similarly. MichaelWDell

I mean larry bell is wearing a track suit with no shirt lol... what's that tell you?

Sounds great in 2020

@@JamZorro Sounds great in 2021 too!

Hope you mean boomers and not bombers, LoL.

Right with you. "Cool" in the truest sense of the word, not that other star-spangled kind of cool.

just heard today that leon was gone from this world...when by chance found this when searching for some jj.....sweeet
