Hay Chris, slash just talk about you on "coffee whit Ola" 😳😁😳

This was amazing Chris. I couldn’t make your dad’s benefit gig as you know, but losing him hit us both so hard. He was my son, your dad & a finer man never lived. Thank you so much.

Sorry for your loss. I hope you take comfort in seeing your grandson carrying on that legacy - he’s a dope young man doing amazing things. I don’t know if you have other grandchildren, but it’s probably safe to assume the same of them as well. Peace to you and your family. I lost my dad who had just turned ‘41 when I was 9 back in ‘91 to colorectal cancer, and I lost my mom at 65 about 5 years ago to neuroendocrine cancer. It gets easier with time, but they are still missed every day.

Sorry to hear this. You have a lot to be proud of in your family.

CHRIS, promise me you will stay away from drugs, alcohol, helicopters, and jealous husbands... stand the test of time and you will surely be remembered as one of the greats

What’s funny is the drug, alcohol, and helicopter deaths are also remembered, sometimes even more. Morrison , SRV. Etc….

It's great that there still are some musicians who can really play live

@@Peterjan1995 it's funny when people say that. i want everyone to go out in most cities to the venues and there are tons of great bands and players every single night all around waiting to be seen by folks

I think this may be exactly your time. You never sounded better. Enjoy every moment, life is short, love is precious. Love your band.

In my almost 70 years on God’s green earth, I’m not sure I’ve ever heard a better mix on a live song. Tasty solo, too!

Agreed, and not just live it's up there with studio tracks as well. Brilliant job by the producer/engineer. A great accomplished band with the added bonus of one of the finest guitarists I've heard since my younger self was wrapping his ears around Hendrix, Beck and Clapton back in the late 60's.

This might be one of the best new bands out now. 🏆

Most underrated band imo

Between Tom's singing and Chris' guitarwork, this is absolutely stellar.

Tay & Tom sound so good together

THAT SOLO! 🔥🔥🔥

So different from the CB stuff I've heard before, and lovely. Loved the spaciousness, and your tones, and the unfettered emotions in your solo, Chris. I lost both of my parents and my brother in my 30's, so I feel for you. The bad news - grief never ends, and you never stop missing the people you love (I'm 64 now). The good news: it does wax, but mostly wanes with time, and soften. Condolences to you and your family.

That tap harmonic slapped me in the face and took my lunch money. PLEASE come through Tucson, AZ on a US tour.

I'll be buying tickets for the Boise, Idaho show when they do.

“Chrissie, take them to church.” Perfect!

The concert was the highlight of my year and the atmosphere and love in the theatre that night will stay with me for the rest of my days. See you in Shepherds Bush.

What the heck, you just get us warmed up then pull the plug. 😁 I want to see the rest of the concert cause y'all are Awesome!

Just magical to watch....the album is superb ...no duffer tracks on it

You're the kind of guitarist who simultaneously makes me question why I play and yet makes me want to be better.

Stella performance by the band.

Chris has an uncanny ability to make the guitar reflect every human emotion. That is the essence of playing the guitar. God bless and protect this band.

Important for guitarists to see that even though he's killing w/ speed he's still in time. Every time he went off it was intentional and he came right back. Just incredible playing. Honestly sounds like an enhanced female vocalist, which is why, IMO, it's so appealing.

Was a fantastic night Chris, one to remembered for everyone who attended!

Here to have Chris blow me away playing guitar as usual, but what an incredible band performance. Vocal is just fantastic. Can’t wait to get the album.

Chris is such a tasty player - love his tone, phrasing, and passion.

There is nothing like a master of the craft playing the blues. Reminds me of Stevie Ray.

Found cardinal black because of Chris Buck, stayed for the rest of the band. Drumming and bass is tight, and vocals of Joe Cocker. Fab.

Doood! You got name dropped by Slash on Coffee with Ola.. You've truly arrived!

They have played on stage together a few times. Some great clips on YT

An absolute masterpiece. 6 players here sounding like a flippin’ Orchestra! I cannot wait to catch up with them again…

What a great drummer and bassist. Outstanding. Simply outstanding!

Excellent performance. Thank you for sharing. Have a blessed day.

Remember this Chris. You have done enough already and you are enough. You are legend.🤘🤘🤘

Brilliant!!!!!!!

Serious Weller vibes - nice.

That guy has a great voice. Fantastic song....this all works. Congrats.

Awesome, a live album! Some of the tracks on the album fade out too soon... Looking at you Warm Love.

Chris, difficult as it is to believe, I think you’re getting better.

This will be the best album of the year....really!

Epic. Your singer killed it here too!

Great vide!

Feel the mood! You have to know and respect the music to do this! 👏👏👏

That was bloody brilliant thanks guys I love a solo that my hair stand on end, I used the Memo back in the 80s I was working at Celynen North Colliery contracting with Cementation great times and great memories and lots of Ladies...so sorry about your Father Chris keep up the good work I know he must have been very very proud of you. x

...at last with tears in my eyes! Wonderful!

Bloody hell!!

Great performance. I love the sound of the bass. I have never heard a PJ sounding like that. It's clear and fat.

The future of British (Welsh?) rock music is set fair with performances like this. A real breath of fresh air in these musically-challenged times. Quite brilliant.

Fantastic. Really looking forward to the Nashville show. See you all soon.

So sorry about your dad Chris, it,s never an easy thing to go through. Just ordered a signed copy of the album, it will be amazing, just like you others! Keep up the superb work guys.👍❤️

I just ordered the signed bundle of this live gig !! Awesome performance !!! Can you please include autographs of your great keyboard & lady background singer... they are so intrinsic to the special sound of my favorite band CARDINAL BLACK !!!

Fantastic guitar solo!🤙

Nice tune.

Yes

Brilliant

Superb. Really looking forward to the November gig in Brighton. Last year in Hastings was excellent.

Allways awesome!!

I'm very happy, that we get this live record, thank you!

Now that’s decent mix for a change.👍

Wow.

AMAZING!!

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Awesome CardinalBlack! As_per_usual_bloody_breathless......P.

Wow, that's just magnificent. I'm stunned.

Just when ya think you can’t get any better, you guys do this!

Great tune!🎶🎸👍👍 Couldn’t hit the like button twice so I did it here! 💥

Wonderful songwriting and performance all round. 🫶🏼✨

FABULOUS

Amazing performance - good mix too 😊

Such an excellent performance. There is still hope for live music. Bless you all! That is a scorching solo Chris. The band as a whole just sounds fantastic. Hats off brother!

YES! So hyped to see you at the Troubadour.

What a ripping, tasteful solo. Congrats Chris! :)

Superb! 🤘🎶❤️

Sounds fantastic.

Play the blues Buckmaster. Play the blues😢

W0W!

You got your own style Bro. That's something now days. Great job.

Stunning guys, not that I'd ever expect anything less. This has probably been my favourite week for music in a long time- Sunday's show, live album, Chris's pedal, MK playing a show on my birthday (and his)... brilliant. See you in a few months, can't wait to blast this record and the new album.

Amen!

That solo stopped time.

Wow!

What a week this has been. You guys put on an incredible show on Sunday. The release of your pedal. Myles Kennedy announced a Uk tour and I got tickets to 2 dates. I should put on the lottery for tonight!

hell yeah!!!

Said this before but the great voice gives this a real foreigner/yacht rock vibe which noone else is doing. Mature beyond its years and referencing cleverly..

Tell me to put the cheese back in the fridge but a version of ' i wanna know what love is' would still sound modern and cool 😅

Great to hear you stretch your legs on this live! Always felt the Abbey Road version ended too soon. Love it!!!

I just bought your Thorpy signature pedal Chris...very nice indeed...band sounds great with a great name to boot...

That was an incredible guitar solo, Chris! You're a modern-day David Gilmore -- I would love to see the two of you on stage together with some call-and-response playing or something...anything. ;) Rock on, dude!

🙌🏻

Please come to Houston, Texas I love yall guys ❤

Beautiful Cardinal Black replete with amazing backing vocals. 😮

Works for me!

Holy sh*t, guys. This is great. Please come to the states...✌❤🎼

Beautiful ❤

This is a very good band, very impressive!

And what a wonderfull singer - so soulful (I hear a bit of Paul Weller and on my behalf this is really a compliment)

Lots of 😊deep soul in this song and live performance...thank you for your art in these dark days in which we live....

Great song awesome solo👍

Looking forward to seeing you again, on a cross Canada tour. Starting in Vancouver!

Great song. 👍

Vi adoro😊👍💪🎸🤟

Epic! Glad I could be there to witness it!

Awesome Chris! Killer solo and soulful band! Love it!!

Wow that made me cry 🙏🏼💜✨
