No matter how old he gets, it seems like Jack will always be the coolest guy on stage.

He is so happy to just be present and make and be the music. No ego. A match made in or close to heaven. Like this song.

"If you don't know Jorma, you don't know Jack." Truest saying ever.

Jack has always been the epitome of cool

Classic early Airplane!!! Two of the best musicians from all generations.

Two music legends doing their finest work together. Duos never grow old..just get better.

The thing that truly makes life worth living, is music.

I was lucky enough to be born in and grow up in San Francisco in the late 40s, which made me old enough to participate in and appreciate the music scene of the 60s. I have been playing bass consistently since the late 60s and site Jack Casady as my first influence. I lost count of how many times I have seen him play with the Airplane and its many derivatives. Totally coincidentally, I now play in a guitar and bass duo. Since both of us have back issues, we call ourselves the Broken Back Blues Band, but perhaps a better name might be Cold Lox, as we are both Jewish. Great music from two unbelievable musicians. Inspiring for those of us who are in our 70s and still playing live (I'm 74).

Some 3-4 years ago, my son and I drove 400km from Montréal to Waterville, Me, just to hear Jack and Jorma. Didn't regret a single km!

These guys will never get old. Just beautiful.

Nahh… they’re old. Still beautiful though : )

It is beautiful to still hear these two play after a lifetime of their lovely music.

Jack Casady's eyebrows should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And the Smithsonian.....

I love you, Jorma, but I can’t keep my eyes off of Jack. 😊♥️

It alway's amazes me HOW MUCH MUSIC THESE GUY'S PRODUCE, with just two instrument's !

No better song on a Sunday morning and no better artists to render it.❤

Jack Cassidy & Jorma two of the very best” simply”!!!👍👍👍

60+ years . . . they began playing together in DC in a band called The Triumphs in the late 1950s. www.washingtonpost.com/goingoutguide/music/jorma-kaukonen-is-still-keeping-things-interesting/2015/08/13/861c27be-3c45-11e5-b3ac-8a79bc44e5e2_story.html

Bought the first Hot Tuna record around the same time as my first guitar, 1970. That was a smart move!

Glad to see Jack still enjoys "high brow" music.

Saw them recently at Carnegie Hall. Still peerless.

Saw them many times back in the day, 1969-1972 when I was at university in San Francisco. Happy they are with us still!

These guys are true magicians. This is beautiful stuff. Brings back the best acid memories from the 60's.

A couple of years ago I stopped at the Stone Pony in New Jersey and had a look at who was gonna be playing. The bill was full of tribute bands, and there in their midst was Hot Tuna, the original. I couldn't stay in the area long enough to catch them, which I dearly regret, but that memory still brings a smile to my face. You guys are legends, no doubt about it.

Man I love these two guys.

May a younger generation discover this.

Probably my favorite JA track.

Amazing! One of the best band sixties/seventies years

I love you guys I saw y’all live with Papa John Creach back in the day. Absolutely amazing.

Sublime. These guys really have a future in music! (j/k)

I could never stand Jorma Kaukonen's electric playing but that first Hot Tuna record really opened my eyes to what a wonderful acoustic player he is. Lovely stuff.

Changed my life in a way.

Heavy on my Soul🎸🙏🏼

Beautiful days of ole😢 one of my favorites ✌️👌

I love playing that song. It’s a great harp part. Tampa, Marcus and I played it often. Thank you sirs for the keeping historical music alive 🙏💙

Wow! Unbelievable. Love the Airplane's psychedelic version as much as life itself.

Hot Tuna acoustic at their best!!

Heard them play their magic at Filmore East many times, with nand without the rest of the crew. Love them still. Jack's guitar is twice as big as he is, but still a master.

Love Jack's sound

They sound great. Their voices appear not to have changed much. Still remember buying their burgers (hot tuna) album in glorious analog vinyl. Original LP still in my rack. There is way too much evil in this world. It's tough to cope. The good old days are gone forever. Hate to be such a cynic, but my eyes still see.

HFT ! Two American treasures !

Just the best!

Whats lost in all of this music, is Jorma's unique voice

Tuna will always be a tasty treat. Just go easy on it(the mercury) 50 years of tuna for me and I'm not bored yet!

The San Fran bands loved to take their time between songs. Take the hint and slow down, everyone!

3 video versions of "Blood stained banders" are available on you tube right now. Highly motivating lyrics.

LOL....Jack is looking at him like hurry the fuck up and play.

Jack at 6:18. And on. Soloing. Tap your foot and count 4. Nice.

La bass accoustique est extra

Reminds me when me and my buddy used to jam all the time in high school, not even close to that good though, ha!

Looks as though Jack needs some support to hold that bass in position.

Not 100% sure but I believe these two guys have been together longer than Mick and Keith. Teir association predates the Airplane.

Jack Cassidy on bass, eyebrow, and round hole.

The bass was built by Tom Ribbecke. Here is a video about the process. It is long but I found it interesting. kzread.info/dash/bejne/iZ5-x9ydf8iWe6g.html

At the end of a Jrad concert, I was saying that Jack C is THE absolute best bassist. Dave D (Jrad bassist) stopped as he heard me and we wound up talking for half an hour on our love n respect for Jack, being blown away by his unique style n agreeing that he truly is the best. Got lots of Jorma stories as well. Lol
