Nunca antes habia escuchado conversar a una guitarra ,bajo y bateria de manera tan fluida y entretenida como en esta presentacion!Gracias por subir esta produccion que de hecho es de gran calidad!
I had the pleasure of meeting Robben after one of his shows in Chicago in the early 2000's. I was a full time private jazz/rock guitar instructor in Chicago at that time. I talked to Robben for over an hour as he shot a game of pool. He was so humble and nice. At one point he looked around the club and asked me: "Where are all the ladies"?
I absolutely agree, gentlemen. Robben once said “don’t be afraid to play the melody.” It’s something I try to adhere to as player and it has served me well. Jing Chi is one of my favorite projects of his, just unbelievably outstanding.🎸
Oh My........Nothing To Nobody! Such a kickass, monstrous, rhythm tune! This is one of Robben’s best versions of a great song! That’s a bunch of music from just three players........fantastic!
This is a great concert, with a good bass player (Travis Carlton, son of Larry Carlton) and an excellent drummer (his mother stated that when he was born he came out with 2 drumsticks in his hands).
Toss Panos, Travis Carlton = killer groove. Robben always pairs great players. The version of Indianola @10:09 rivals the studio cut. The track Nothing to Nobody @22:00 is a deep 10 minute groove with a Travis Carlton Bass solo. Absolutely superb, one of the best modern trio live performances for mine.
The day he was born he came out with a little Gibson in his hands and everyone just got outta the way and has been trailblazing every since like a Combat Engineer !!
maybe you are too young ? Not making a joke but I saw him first on the Joni Mitchell tour in '74 I think it was, and did not realize that he was in the band. He looked every bit of 18 at that time, but was probably a little older than that, the pictures I found are quite hilarious .......... I get to see him here in Birmingham AL this week, can't wait !!!
LONG ago, I saw the Charles Ford Band open for Albert King (or maybe Freddie King) at the Keystone Korner in north beach San Francisco. "The Charles Ford Band, three brothers and a friend from Ukiah, California with extraordinary enthusiasm and energy, played gritty and accomplished urban blues at bars and clubs in the San Francisco Bay Area." "Formed in 1971 and existed for about a year. The band was named after Charles Ford, father of the brothers Robben, Patrick, and Mark." There was a min. drink requirement to stay and I couldn't buy alcohol at the time. That is how I "met" Robben Ford.
been a fan for a couple of decades. Fortunately, he came to SJ Jazz Fest one year and I got to see him. His playing is way beyond the normal blues guitarist.
groove tube Yeah, I ran across Ford in either '88 or '89 and been listening ever since. He's great. I do wish he could have made a billion because he's worked hard enough to have every cent. Peace
Its so sad to me that we don't appreciate the blues here in the US as much as our European brethren- this is an amazing performance...Robben is an absolute Jedi on the axe!
I was fortunate enough to see Robben on stage in Paris 3 times. It could have been 4, but I remember him playing the same day as the late BB KIng .... it was one hell of a choice too make ... now BB is gone, so I don't regret my choice. and I was lucky to attend Joe Bonamassa show a few years ago with Robben and Larry Carlton as special guests !!!
Fabulous. Had a great time watching this video. Ford's chord choices are somethin' else, as well as his choices of guitars, while the bass (Travis Carlton) provided a really comfortable tapestry and the drums (Toss Panos) a heroic playing filled with accents. And Larry Coryell !!!!!! Thanks for uploading GB!
superbe trio, la meilleure de ses formules, Robben, Travis Carlton (basse) et ce batteur Mexicain dont j'ai oublie le nom mais qui est un tueur de groove et de musicalité !!! j'adore ce trio et le concert du Rockpalast 2007 avec la meme formule est absolument magique !!! bravo a vous d'avoir offert au public parisien un artiste de ce calibre !!!! encore !!!
Chris Arles Oui super mais le batteur en fait trop à mon goût, il bavarde au détriment du groove. A-t-il bien compris que, parfois, il faut "accompagner" ? Le bassiste est par contre parfaitement dedans, au service de Robben et de la musique.
Je pense que si Robben Ford joue avec ce batteur, c'est qu'il lui convient parfaitement, d'autan qu'il joue toujours ensemble, entièrement d'accord avec Chris Arles concernant le concert de Rockpalst 2007, concert sublime !
Peut-être qu'il lui convient parfaitement ou peut-être pas !? Je persiste, ce batteur, bien que très doué techniquement, bavarde, en fait des tonnes et nous gâche une partie du plaisir en étant dans une démo permanente qui s'apparente à un "solo show" de percussions.
Cher Jean Michel, il fait a mon sens un boulot absolument parfait mais tu as parfaitement le droit de préférer un jeu moins fournis ... juste une question de gout personnel. Etant guitariste moi-meme et pratiquant la forme du trio depuis longtemps, j'apprécie les batteurs qui savent faire le show et qui envoient ce genre d'énergie ... tout est subjectif bien sur, ceci est tout a fait personnel . En te souhaitant un tres bonne soiree. Au fait il se nomme Toss Panos ;)
unbeleievable talented master . thanks Robben saw you in Boulder colorado at Tulagi's . Heheheheh . what a fuckin awesome night . i think it was 1978 . on the Hill . hahahahah
I thought, "thats looks like larry carltons' son on bass". I was right! He is awesome, I saw him with his dad at the baked potato a few years ago. He was the highlight of the show in my opinion.
GB, it makes such a difference when you list the songs & the times if it's possible for you. This is one of the best live recordings of Robben Ford with a fabulous trio to inspire him, can't find the words of how great this night was. Gerry, thank you for putting this concert on YT for us to watch!!! CAN you possibly DO THIS if you would be so kind?
play guitar for 35 years , and i think , oke i am a good player , ha ha think again dolf. if robben is a 10 then i am a 2 . time for some humble pie . i love that guy , ha ha ha its insane . thanx robben .
Brilliant playing from all. I wish whoever shares these would put the three names. As much as I love Robben, Travis Carlton & Toss Pamos...are in the same league.
And people continue to ask if Adele and Ed Sheren are our only hope? How little do they know. Like water, True talent will negotiate it's own course, regardless.
vu mr robben ford y'a 15 jours à lyon avec un batteur (celui de robert cray actuellement je n'ai pas le nom) une jeune bassiste sexy groovy, et un jeune guitariste sympa très jeune mais assez inutile sur le fond...mais c'est cool qd même...vu michael jones ds la salle gd fan de ford..et robben ford tjrs aussi hum...efficace! warf! quel soliste ok mais querl guitariste métricien et quel jeu en accord! :D (c'était au ninkasi pr l'album purple house)
