Saw their Spring '71 tour in Pittsburgh. My first of three JW shows. Johnny's playing sold me on the power of the blues. He's truly underrated as a guitar slinger.

His guitar chord (into the amplifier) four feet long with stretch!

Total freaks, when they were a dime a dozen.

Larry was a wonderful musician and a great guy. But he drank too much. That's how DiMeola got to replace him in the super trio with Paco and McLaughlin. RIP Larry, we love you.

Oh my! That was amazing!

Wow!

I’ve been a guitarist all my life and nearly 71 - GB was ahead of his time and when you hear Jimi Hendrix is voted best of all time… Jimi was undoubtedly a trail blazer but technically he was no where in sight compared to GB

Cool interpretation! Great playing, guys!😎

やっぱり天才は若い頃から天才なんだ😅

Larry coryel was giant he could play any genre

"I Got A Line On You" is definitely in my top 5 ever !

👎🤡💩

masterpiece. Thanks Eric

A gift.... in time... think about it😂

John Mayall had so many great musicians go through his bands.

Man!! What a World-Class band *SPIRIT* was!! Many of their themes as current today as ever!!

Il était déjà le patron du jazz rock

Wow I see a lot of shit talking here but when you go their channel they don't have anything to show how it's done. One did and sure didn't show much Coryell blows your ass away.

I think I was listening to the Beatles back then. Wow! Fool on the hill. This is amazing, now I am 72

I had played too many solos of George Benson and I was amazed to know his style it was an golden era in Jazz

For all of you dropping names of other artists who may have influenced George, Thanks. I grew up listening to soul and Funk of the 70’s. I listened to GB, Grover, Joe Sample etc, but am still making many jazz and blues discoveries. So when you say, “hey listen to this guy,” others of us will benefit because we will go listen. I play piano, and I have a chance to learn so much now from UA-cam, so keep those recommendations coming. They may irritate a few,(although I can’t imagine why) but we all benefit in the long run.

Everyone moving up one place 😅

My brother's band played 'Line' at my Jr high graduation dance 1970. Will always have fond memory of that tune.

Those first 4 albums...so great

Great band. 😎great Randy california..🎸

Chick Churchill was SO under-rated and died MUCH too young!!! I was lucky enough to get to know Ric Lee a bit when he was playing in Stan Webb's Chicken Shack - I'd like to think he's still out there rocking, whether in Reading or elsewhere if he moved. Awesome drummer. Fantastic band all round!!!!

👏🏿👏🏿

His Birthday was yesterday and he is 81 and still playing. I hope I am still able to play at 81

..wow, I’ve seen Larry Coryell played messed up before, but this was championship level!!..sad, and a total disrespect for the other musicians..Mariano and Catherine sound great..I forgot who said but, “Cocaine is a helluva drug”..powder and drinking together..goodbye..btw who is the third guitarist?.

I was 16 in 1966. I played guitar when I was 12 then, put the guitar away in favor of playing sports. Picked it back up when I was 15 and am still playing today. Boy... Am I glad I didn't see this in 1966. I might've called it quits!!! He is my favorite guitarist and is always a great source of inspiration. I mean, just to get close sometimes.....

GUAPO!!!

amazing tone

I FAR prefer early Benson than his later, mega-popular stuff. But when he was playing pure blues and jazz - that's GB at his finest. When this was shot, George was like the new wonder kid / upstart - as the jazz guitarists of the day were still under the giant shadow of Wes Montgomery - in fact, this was recorded about two years before Wes passed away. And the organ stuff is a perfect contrast and counterpoint. Thank God it was put on film!

Here from the Beato interview. 😀 I first really got into GB with his massive vocal era, but nice to see the young George he spoke about in that wonderful interview. He _always_ 'sang' melodies from his head to his fingers just as he said.

Wow this is amazing

excellent! 🤘😊⚡️🎸❤️

Philip's tone is superior! He's always so elegant ❤

Rick's wearing MC Hammer pants? This is beyond Dr. Strange.

Amazing get together of the greatest guitarists! Each one of them shows their own masterful style and take on the piece.

Just look at all them Ovations!

What was wrong with Larry here? I hate to say this but he is just awful. What’s with all the wild standing up and solos that say nothing?

The first four albums by the original band (Ferguson, California, Locke, Cassidy and Andes) are all superbly crafed works of eclectic rock that both represent their time and transcend it . Not many bands of the period have done that.

great

Larry Coryell era grandissimo❤

Not the best live singer. But always loved the song I Got Aline on You, the studio version.

LIVE: L'Olympia Bruno Coquatrix, Paris, France (Jun.29.1970). LINE UP: Johnny, Rick Derringer, Randy Jo Hobbs, Randy Z.
