My BA when I was in the union had a bumper sticker that said "Got Jorma?"

We caught Jorma at Levon Helm Studio (aka: The Barn) last week. What a joy. And it was Jack 's birthday, so Jorma called him as he show kick off, and we all sang Happy Birthday to him. Love both these guys!❤

Man alive what a performance! Acoustic hot tuna is still touring and will be doing so in 2024. 55 years you guys you make me want to cry for the old days, Carry on you two.

In France they are pretty well respected, with Jefferson include.

Jeff Beck -- who we lost just this month -- wa much like Jorma & Jack, vastly less well-known than many far lesser guitarists, and for much the same reason: he was all about the music & not concerned about fame. He was also, like Jorma, incredibly versatile, a pioneer of hard rock with The Yardbirds, jazz & fusion, rockabilly, classical & opera, & other genres. He was also humble & generous, taking young musicians under his wing & helping them spread their own wings.

Just watched a video of them playing 55 years later, and sounding just as good!

Why I was a sexy hippie in 1972, as an oboist, not to start guitar until '75... SF Bay Area musicians inspired musicians around the world. Sucking In The Seventies was simply a tongue in cheek play on words by the Stones. '60's and '70's ... we're lucky for all the recordings like this!

AND THANK YOU L.A. FOR THE LOVE INS AT GRIFFITH PARK. DID ANYBODY EVER SEE "MOONFLEET" THERE AND THE DRUM SESSIONS AFTERWARDS. ..ETC.ETC.

I was fortunate enough to be at Shepton Mallet Ln Somerset to witness the first ever performance of Hot Tuna in 1969. Awesome.

I screamed out a request for this at the Tampa Theater in '85 (i think), and Jorma and Jack delivered. I remember it being a hot night there, guitar tuning like crazy.

I had the immense privilege of seeing Hot Tuna perform live in the summer of 1970 at the Shepton Mallett [uk] blues and jazz festival and which was effectively the forerunner for the famous Glastonbury Festival. They were one of the absolute standout acts, along with The Byrds who played for 3.5 hours in apparently their only all acoustic concert played over here - all their gear get wet in a rain storm earlier. Awesome memories and thank you to our host for sharing this!!!

Long time Jorma (and Jack) fan, since the early '70's. As a very young teenager I took folk guitar lessons from a local teacher out of her home and we used Laura Weber's guitar lesson book. I then soon became a huge Jorma fan in the following years, and then dozens of years later when I first came upon this video on YT, I was elated to find that Laura Weber connection to one of my all time guitar heroes! My folk guitar lesson book author was into Jorma and had him on her TV show almost at the same time I was studying from her book! I later met and talked to Jorma (and his wife, Vanessa) a couple times. Super nice people. I've always felt akin to Jorma, growing up with his music and going to so many Hot Tuna and Jorma solo concerts. Jorma & Jack, what a magical duo.

Nearly 45 yrs ago. How cool is that ? They are my fav. Jorma is my fav Finnish dude. Jack Casady is so cool. I'm 57 and I love their gig.

I can listen to these guys all day..they have that magic touch..Hot tuna is what I play to death when I was in college

i got to have dinner with Jorma at the fur peace ranch last night, and he played for us for over an hour

Hot tuna did certainly take psychidelic rock to the next level. Classic blues, folk, rock, psychedelia, and creativity, the spirit the mind in simply beautiful form that still sounds relevant and even more hard hitting. And they're still cool.

Jack casady was so ahead of his time. Amazing how he could sound like he was playing a fretless or upright bass on that thing.

Hot Tuna isn't exactly new to me, but I GET IT NOW! 😮 Thanks for turning me on to this!!!

Some of the Alembic founders modified a Guild Starfire bass with onboard electronics. The Guild Starfire bass at that time had single coil pickups made for them by Hagstrom which produced a highly sought after sound and helped produce the growl that part of Casady's sound. Alembic did make a custom bass for Jack Casady in 1972 that was their first complete production effort.

What everyone else said. Casady's powerful, innovative bass artistry complemented by Jorma's impeccable finger picking is a delight for the ears.

Were we really that young once? Oh, man all those years ago--still very cool today.

Caught Jack and Jorma a couple of nights ago. They are still amazing to watch.

They are the best....I don't know why people out there don't recognize them.

Happy Birthday Jorma Kaukonen born on December 23, 1940. He is an American blues, folk, and rock guitarist. Kaukonen performed with Jefferson Airplane and still performs regularly on tour with Hot Tuna. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_Tuna_(album)

Simply one of the best bassists ever.. There may be some technically better, but no one ever makes a bass growl like Casady. The emotion in his playing is amazing and add so much color to whatever he plays on.

First introduced to Hot Tuna, the New Orleans House album, at a quiet little gathering at a beach house in St Joepsh Mi circa 1973. I went back the next afternoon to ask "what was that Bluesy Roadhouse music we were listening to last night?" (To high to remember I knew it was good and I had to hear it again though) Went straight out and picked up my first Hot Tuna album that afternoon.

@@caesarsmith4711 Entwhistle is good but I wouldn't put him in Casady's league. Casady has a nuance and restraint that Enwistle lacks. But, if you disagree with that, another big thing is that Casady's fellow musicians like Kuakonen who can meet his level of playing. I think Entwistle stands alone in The Who. Except for the drummer, no one is as good at their instrument as Entwistle is on his bass and so he doesn't shine like he really could

luckily I had saved it when I favorited Manns Fate, so when the fellow who originally posted it has his channel disappear I could put it back up for all to see. :)

For a minute or two there, they seemed to forget they were in a television studio. Two highly skilled and experienced musicians, just jamming on an awesome tune. Just like I used to see back in the early 70's at the Academy of Music in NYC.

@WNTW13 Me too!! I'd choose Hot Tuna over any other show any day of the week. The maturity and mastery of their playing and instruments has only grown over the years :)
