Jon Cleary & The Absolute Monster Gentlemen - Help Me Somebody (Live @ The Maple Leaf) 

Big D - Derwin Perkins is one the most individual voices on guitar out there and this meticulously crafted MELODIC solo filled with beautiful phrasing and chord melody is a shining example. Simply soulful and heartfelt!!! Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for this wonderful post.

Can't choose which is better....The message or the music.... Jon & The Monsters .....THIS.... is the REAL America...don't allow yourself to be distracted by the negative....

Big D's solo's literally make me cry. He is such a beautiful musical voice.

I finally found a video with a Big D solo. And it was definitely worth the wait.

" Very Smooth ,Simple,Inspiring ,& Motivating Arrangement That Inspite Of The Subject Matter, In The Church We Call Healing Music ".......!

I've listened to this sooo many times and his solo still gives me the chills

Here I am back at this vid...my goodness gracious me, can't someone else put out something this fine??

Another thing that I like very much about Jon Cleary: he always gives enough room to his fellow musicians.

'Big D"---- My Goodness Man!!! Jon Cleary and his band is the best thing I've stumbled into in long time!

a masterclass from all 4 - oh my. to be able to jam like that.....

man, they could build a house on his right hand. Never heard anyone play so stable, so smooth, or tasteful. What a rolemodel! The band is amazing as well!

I seen Jon & the Boys at the Leaf. Great Bar, Amazing Band.

Get out da way, and let the gentlemen do their thang!

My Favorite Home Band! Bass Player Cornell Williams is my Family.. I love them All. 🍷

I agree Teodor, so great to see Derwin back again, we missed him in Australia!

It's 2023 and this is one of the greatest guitar solo's I have had the pleasure of listening to and observing the performer expressing his craft in 53 years in the music business and I've heard heaps. Thank you Dewin Perkins. What an absolute pleasure to listen to you.

Big D! My favorite guitar solo of all time- burns down a beautiful song by Jon. Now that's a damn band, y'all!

To quote Tom Waits...."somebody needs to chain that guitar player up" Dang!

I'm late to the party but now that I've found JC&TAMG group I'm A FAN!!! I love great, super soulful music played by uber soulful cats! I bow to all of them!!! Peace & Gratitude to U all...
