Earl on bass ... a pure jewel. !

Been enjoying him since the '80's, Ford Bros. Band. I'm from N. CAL near where he grew up. Everyone knew this guy was genius early on. Actually his whole family.

The organ solo in the first tune is terrific too. Very expressive to the melody of the song!

Completly agree

Love this. It sounds very Steely Dan. Great Tele playing. Gorgeous!

Don't think I've heard a better live guitar tone. Both the humbuckers and single coils sound stellar in the band mix. A fantastic talent playing, no doubt. But the sound guy deserves major props as well.

Robben is one of the best ever --- such a tight groove --- the guys love playin with this staight forward blues/funk/jazzer --- super band .

The way Robben comps the organ solo in Chevrolet...oh, so tasteful!

Been a fan since his first solo LP 43 years ago. Never tire of listening to his soulful playing. Great quality video & audio on this club date. He da man!

Robben is one of the best tour guides for introducing jazz to new ears...in my humble opinion. But I'm always right...

A very kind man, is Robben: a natural gentleman. Living in Ojai, CA, we'd meet occasionally. Had a beer at his house there. He once played out in the desert in Bakersfield and invited my GF and I for a short meet and snack before the show (he was with the Blue Line then) just because he knew we were there. Occasionally he'd show up at the Buddhist group meetings in Ojai. Just one cool warm friendly man.

BButtery smooth light touch to the fretboard. What fluid and effortless playing. Respect to the genius!!

Love your Music Robben. Tasteful genius. The Best Fused Blues. Thank You for this Great Music! Much Love and Peace...

I love this guy!!! I've played guitar for 25 years and this is my first time listening to him. Brilliant. Also love Larry Carlton who jams with Robben Ford. This guy is cool. No star just a great muscian

My God! What an artist!!!!! First class musicality that derives from knowledge without being sterile and cold ! The coolest thing about Robben is that you can not tell in which point his natural talent or his huge knowledge of music comes out!! And that my dear friends is a fucking accoplishment!!!! GO ROBBEN GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!

"My, my,my." - "start it up, start it up" - This recorded version lives and breaths compared to earlier or other versions Robben has done. This live small venue recording is very special to these ears - one fine groove set in the right Parisian club. All compositions are well written and very well played; it's hard to pick a favorite. Enjoy them all! Thank you for your pure approach, Mr. (Robben) Ford.

Blindingly good all round. I love the lead, the rhythm, the lyrics. Robben's singing as well as I've ever heard. The bass and drums groove and the keys are the icing on the cake!

This was a fantastic formation of The RF Band ,a respectful audience too .

We all know Robben's guitar playing is brilliant! I believe his songwriting is brilliant as well, everything about it is well thought out and original. Love this band, too- Brannen, Lou Pardini, keys (wrote Smokey's classic 'Just To See Her'), Jimmy Earl, bass (from Jimmy Kimmel's late night band), all fantastic players in their own right! Thanks for posting!

So sincere, so fine musician and good person.

This cat has it all, and the wonderful thing about him is he has for years passed on his knowledge freeley to the young players coming up. Real music by highly gifted people will never fade away. Bravo Maestro!

One of the best concerts I've seen this band play. Robben was on it!

I've been lucky enough to see Robben live twice...first time was at the venue in Sellersville, PA...second in Syracuse. Drove from Toronto just for these shows and so happy I did. Scored Tiger WAlk cd at a yard sale and have been on him since. For me, Jeff Beck then Robben Ford.

@@1952FMS I've Jimmy Witherson's albums with Robben playing. He was so young and recognized at the outset of his career. I guess the A&R guys couldn't break him so they stopped trying...he should have been known to a much broader audience. When speed thrash trash gets air-play and this guy doesn't?...there's something terribly wrong.

This concert is available on dvd. I bought it a few years ago. It's a great show. Robben is one of my favorite, long time guitar heros and influences. I listen to him regularly. Always amazing. Taste, tone, phrasing and his own blend and style of music. Thank you Robben!

This is the best Robben Ford I've ever heard! He's nailing it!

He is just Fantastic. I was also hooked with the first Yellow Jacket Record. ❤️❤️

What a fantastic player!

Wow! What a band! I've enjoyed this so much!

I've seen Robbin twice and listened to so much of his great music and yet so often Robben and the band generate an excitement akin to hearing a great piece of music for the first time.

This is the first time that I've taken to listen to Robben Ford. I can say that I like his playing style. His style is nice, clear,clean and not to over driven.His notes are clear and distinctive. Some guitarists are about as much speed and flash as they can get.sometimes they forget what the purpose is of the playing,and that is to get the thought across. I guess,everyone doesn't do it the same way. Good work Mr. Ford.

I’m a keyboard player...but my favourite instrument (Hammond is number 2...) is the Telecaster guitar. I think the bloody things should be considered religious relics...from Vince Gill to Robben Ford, no single instrument should be allowed the range of moods from the relentlessly music Gill, to the equally relentless musical Ford, who’s Tele, at times, screams as he rips of great arcs of solo...quoting a whole variety of other runes as he does so...without being accorded the respect and adulation of an instrument, perfectly designed and perfectly played... Beethoven’s Ode To Joy brings tears to my eyes, as does the sound of a well played Tele. Wish I’d picked up guitar at age 6 rather than piano...
