Joe Bonamassa and Eric Gales - Ballad of John Henry - KTBA Mediterranean Cruise 2019 

Eric Gales: "Hey Joe, how long you want us to solo?" Joe Bonamassa: "𝒀𝑬𝑺."

SHRED MODE ENGAGED!!!!!!

@7:48 for me, this is one of the best blues-rock shred phrases I've ever heard and the squeal to end was PERFECT. Eric always seems like he's wrestling with the guitar, trying to push himself each time. Sometimes it works to perfection, sometimes not, but when it does it's something to behold. He's always raising the bar.

Eric Gales, the only man who can look cool on stage wearing 3/4 length shorts.

@3:05 when Joe looks at Eric and says 'That's bad-ass!' ... As a musician, it's hard to fathom that someone like Joe can be influenced/impressed by ANYONE, yet here we are.

5:45 transition to harmonic minor from blues was absolutely stunning.

Holy Shit! That was the best guitar battle I've ever heard. Love these guys.

I said it on the Warren Haynes and Joe Bonamassa video and I'll say it here... I genuinely think this is one of the greatest pieces of music of all time for stoners.

I told Eric about Joe in 2008 in Memphis when son and I were helping him with his early website, he had never heard of Joe. So I had a vision that one day they would get together on the same stage and maybe also in the studio, 13 years later it has come to pass. Eric's new release will be out later this year, probably last quarter. It is produced by Joe and he guests on some of the songs. I can't wait for it but I will wait for it, should be epic

some of the finest blues rock improv caught on video.

As great as the performance is (and it is stunningly good), what makes this so much fun to watch is how much Eric and Joe enjoy each other's playing.

The whole world is in love with this! Thank you, Joe and Eric !!!!!

It was such an epic moment to be standing about 10 feet away from them on the boat and watching this amazing back and forth. Much respect. So glad I went on this blues cruise.

The world needs more of this.

Joe is such an extraordinary genius. Listen to how he adapted his playing to Eric's. Every show he does this. Such a master of styles and technique.

This will go down as one of the greatest moments in musical history

This is one of my favorite songs of Joe's and I love it every time I hear it...! OMG, I had to listen to it twice because of that epic Duel of the Guitar Solos between Joe and Eric...Fantastic guitar...!This was a great performance by everyone involved...🥰🥰🥰

Y'all I don't know how you feeling, but I got some whiskey down my throat listening to some blues and I'll be honest this is Clapton and Jimi doing what they do best!!!

Bonamassa is really great. Eric Gales seems to handle his guitar as an extension of his soul...

Eric's run at 8:15 is absolutely mind blowing.

Joe at the end, "it doesn't get any better than that"... Very true, it does NOT get any better than that. Amazing performance and shredding!

Like my dad says when he hears fast guitar playing." Hes doing a malmsteen" hahah

really cool - joe's insane prescision, and eric's inimitable jazzy transitions and beeps make for some of the best noodling ever. blues-plus-plus jamming at it's very best :-D

Gosh Damn! These two men just ripped the hell out of it! I can't get enough and how about that rhythm section....Michael Rhodes on bass!

There aren't enough thumbs up to give this performance what it deserves! There are my guys! Frampton is the cause of my music taste plug in play loud! I found Joe a few years ago and my soul jumped! There is actually music from my childhood being made TODAY!!!! WISH I'd found Joe so many many years ago! I felt like i was in desert for many years music wise!

Joe, please bring Eric with you for your concert in Detroit this fall. You are BOTH totally phenomenal! Signed, Can’t Wait !!!!!

I’ve never heard joe go full out like this. I guess it took him finally coming up against someone at his skill level. It’s nice to see what he’s really capable of every once in a while.

I LOVE this song. DAAAMN!!!! When I'm happy it makes me happier, when I'm all broken it makes me alive

It's so fun when you get to see two incredibly talented people who respect the hell out of each other create something together and have a blast doing it.

Two consummate and gifted guitarists! The BEST of the best !!!

Eric & Joe ils sont toujours aussi bon c'est un duo que j'aime voir ce titre montre la complicités entre eux c'est un plaisir que je vous fais partager à écouter sans modération

Enjoy it, folks, cause you arent gonna get much better than this.

guitar geniuses!!

Imagine how good Eric Gales will be when he learns to hold his guitar the right way round. 😂

Дуже круто

OMG.... Two monsters...

Eric’a lick at 7:57 is everything I am this whole “guitar” thing for

Those boys are killin it!🤘😎💪🔥🎸🎶

Rocked this little boat!! I cant remember having such a glorious night!! Thank you ever so gents & ladies!! Keep~a~Rockin'!! HAPPY FATHERS DAY, ALL!! (life~altering!)

Joe Bonamassa e Eric Gales são os melhores dos melhores

My sweet lord Jesus Christ! INFREAKINSANE guitar solo “duel”/jam! This will go down as one of the best! Joe is my all-time fave Blues-Rock guitarist, and Eric Gales is up there too on my top heroes, and this performance is my fave from them by far. I had a chance to watch Joe live in Manila in 2012, and it’s my fave concert so far. When Joe was about to leave the venue, I jumped the fence (with the other fans) to have a photo with him taken by the official event photographer who promised he would send us a copy of the pics but he never did! (I hope he sees this and sends us a copy) I was wearing a Dream Theater t-shirt and Joe noticed and said, “Cool shirt, great taste in music.” I flashed a big smile and we shook hands! Definitely my fave moment! Much love and respect to Joe, Eric, and all the Blues greats and players! 💯🔥🎸❤️

A tune with soul.......blues soul

Please be sure to send Eric along to Sydney this month because I think I've waited long enough to see something this spectacular performed live.

Joe's solo could feed a full family and the next three generations.

Two guitar greats tearing it up! Hot damn that was awesome.

Just sublime.. blown away by this….❤

these super clean and fast runs Joe does...really unique and incredible

Both mutually draw out the best from each other. Briliant n mind blowing

They couldn't look more different, yet be more the same...geniuses on guitar. Love Joe👌

Wow...Joe is in my top ten players..period. Eric Gates, YOU are way good. I can't think of watching 2 masters of the 6 string that was any more fun than this..what a treat!!! Thanx guys!!!!

Love, Love this ❤

This has always been one of my favorite songs of bonamassa's. This was a great rendition! It's Thanks to PBS telethon I found about Joe bonamassa and the realitization I like the blue.

The "Dynamic Duo". It doesn't get better than this!!!!!!!

I’m Joe all the way through Joe Bonamassa, don’t know how I missed this

Heaven on earth, two guitarists who blew me away! A wet dream came true

both of them have a tone that i absolutely envy 😅😅

Glad I lived long enough to see this - Unbelievable!!

Greatest guitar video ever. Change my mind. This is Godzilla v Godzilla.

How the hell have I never heard of Eric before last week? If he gets the Joe Bonamassa AND Mark Tremonti stamp of approval!

Clash of Titans ! 🔥🔥

Good music is great, fantastic music is Epic, Mesmerising music is king, Joe and Eric are in their own league!

Awesome jam!

Wow.. and another wow !!! This is how good it can get with some proper instruments and guys who can play them.. absolutely stunning performance !!!

Bonamassa at his best

He's the best!

Eric in this performance makes me think of what might have been if Hendrix had gone on to play with the Mahavishnu Orchestra. His lick at 7:13 was so musical and yet so absolutely ripping at the same time. Of course, Joe smoked as well. My favorite Joe moments are 5:45 - 5:55 and 6:24 - 6:51. It's fun to watch people play fast but it's really special to watch them let go and let the music take them to different places.

Joe !Amazing! Guitars shall save US.. Joe I'm waitn'for you in Italy..Parma for playing toghether🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼❤🤟

Un duello con le chitarre tra due grandi musicisti ❤

Seeing how much Eric gales enjoyed this is nearly as good as the masterclass these two put on 👊🏻 reminds me of watching joe at the Albert hall the first time he played with Clapton. A masterclass. 🙌
