This is my fav clip of room 335 by him:) I just went his show a week ago but he didn’t play this song. 7 yrs ago, I went to his show and got to meet him before the show. I requested him to play this song. He said yes! He came back on the stage after the show for encore. He pointed at me and played this song, which made my years 🥰
@@sumthinsumthin523 Thankyou so so much!! I'm calmly 41st bday today aswell and up early cooking so I'm very happy and blessed on this day!! God Bless You🙏🙌
Larry Carlton is my favorite guitarist. His studio version of this song is the best rock/jazz/blues/fusion guitar playing I've heard. I saw him in concert front row seat a few years ago in Akron Ohio. :)
@@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music I loved Alan Holdsworth and Joe Pass. They were such great jazz players. In the rock world, Terry Kath and Mark Knofler along with Larry have always been my favorites.
Carlton....simply in a class by himself. Every note saying something, with absolute lyricism and taste. Perfect marriage of technique, emotion, and musicality. His work on the Steely Dan records is timeless and a hallmark of their sound. In these post-shred days, they don't make 'em like this anymore. God Bless Larry.
Check out Larry Carlton and the SWR big band Room 335....it's on you tube.....also the original off the album Larry Carlton 1978.....this version too much grease on the guitar......very young sounding!
I was 12 years old just learning the guitar, and my first teacher gave me a larry Carlton album to listen to for perfect technique. 43 years later still playing guitar but still chasing larry that technique! 4:22
So glad he's still with us:gave me so much joy in my childhood ( Crusaders:Spiral ).Thanks to the spirits you're still whit us,you're playing can't be missed,thanks for this.Bless you Larry.
July 22th, 1979, Casino de Montreux, 13th Montreux Jazz Festival. Larry Carlton and his band replaced Stuff with David Sanborn that night, it was a double bill with Al Jarreau. Phantastic concerts.
@@andreasnendza9667 the decoration behind Larry Carlton is that of the year 1979, it the show of July 22, 1979. Casino Lights was produced in Montreux 1981 and 1999.
This is an awesome example of LC's lyrical soloing...every note chosen to perfection...and what an amazing sound with all that sustain. The chords and solo on this number remind me od Peg by Steely Dan. 10 out of 10.
I love these older videos of a younger Larry, when he played with so much more aggression and fire. He's still one of the greatest of all time. The GOAT. But he has nothing left prove. So I like his younger spirit when he did. So awesome.
I saw Larry 2 summers ago in the Milwaukee area and attended a guitar clinic he held before the gig. He' an incredible player and his son is an amazing bassist.
I used to own a lot of Larry Carlton on cassette loaded on the sony walkman imagining how the bands performance would be. Here I am watching the video on my phone and expressing my comment!! How times have changed!!
The Bass player is on it! He's right there keeping up with keyboards, drums and of course guitar. And he does it! All The Way To The End. Wow...just WOW! They all sound tight!
The bassist is Popwell? He is got this monster two or three finger rolling attack with his right hand! Very rarely do you get to hear a funky bass player go full out on the groove LIVE behind a soloist. From 2:38---5:50 is pure magic. Thanks for the submission! Larry is smiling and obviously enjoying the stage! Good performance for the man and his Gibson ES 335.
Saw him play Point It Up in the mid 70's live with the same band, except for keyboards I believe, at The Baked Potato in California. I stood for 2 shows within reaching distance of him. I have never seen anything like it on guitar in my life and I've seen many players. Pops broke a string during one of the shows.
WOW...!!! I've been following Larry Carlton's career for some 40 years, and I would have to argue this is the single greatest performance he's ever given !!! Montreux Jazz seems to bring out the best in everyone who performs there. Fantastic post !
This is no easy song to solo over and the tempo is real fast. Maybe my own personal recordings of this song comes little later in Larrys career, but still what a stunning performance by a young Larry Carlton at Montreux.
Yes,, Larry is the most remarkable guitarist of all time! No exaggeration there! More than 100 Gold records, tv theme show songs, movie soundtracks, and just one heck of a shiver deliverer! LOL!
Love Larry. Listened to him in the 1970s and 80s. One of the songs I tried to play. Had his album too. Man, this guy is so friggin' good. Top studio musician, and yes those are the rhythm lyrics to Peg, which everyone already knows, if your'e a Carlton fan. Live on Crusader!
Slapback delay notwithstanding, thanks for posting this video. Seeing this helped clarify certain aspects of LCs 'Room 335' era sound that I was curious about.
This looks like around the time when I saw him many times at the Roxy, Golden Bear, and even the Barn at UC Riverside. These shows were fantastic. He along with Ritenour, Benson, Lukather, were my favorite guitarists.
It sounds like the slap back echo was added after the fact because the drums have it too. Larry Carlton has always been a hero to me. There's so much negativity in many people but the fact remains that this music made people feel good, no matter what people say. This scene is from a world that does not exist anymore. The 70's had their turmoil but it was like a picnic compared to today's world.Warner Bros signed Larry Carlton after he played on many of his generations top hits and the going was good with the music industry back then. There was a music industry where you could have a successful career playing instrumental music and the big labels were involved.
Very well said Marc! The problem with people is ...... PEOPLE! We are always killing the goose that lays the ~Golden Eggs~ sadly, and we ruined the music business by being selfish and greedy, and when Napster came out, and maybe there was another one just before it,, I knew it was going to spell the death knell for control over music in general! Sure enough ...... look at where music is today!!!! More crapola than Victrola!!! LOLOL!!!!
Ларри Карлтон - мастер, талант. Он занял свою нишу, где он принес максимальное счастье в музыке людям, доверившимся ему. То, что он создаёт, способно доставить не только наслаждение, но и сделать счастливым, хотя бы на время. Ларри мастер и я рад, что он есть. Он работает в своем ощущении Мира, и есть множество людей созвучных ему. Наверное это и есть счастье, для него и для нас...
I saw him at this Montreux concert with a bunch of other artist, and as I left his concert late night i saw him waiting outside under a roof in the rain all alone with his guitar in the case 🙂those days are gone 🎸 still have all live records on reel
Larry Carlton was the most in demand studio players in l.a because he could play jazz and rock. He played on the later Steely Dan records and ended up producing them. Most famous for the hill street blues theme song.larry played the original the solo on the original theme song then they had another guitarist play the opening solo. When everybody else was trying to sound like the stones or led zep Larry was what I was influenced by the most.if you think that everything he writes sounds like sitcom crap then you obviously never listened to the whole album. What was great about the 70s was there were so many bands who wrote all their own stuff. A lot of them only had a couple of good songs on them but there was a lot that may have had 2 hit songs on them but after listening to the whole thing 2 to 3 times you realized they were all good. Nowadays you don't have that because the record label hires outside writers who will write a trending style song that the artist is thinking this ain't me but contractually I have to. The band Kansas was in debt to their label for 1million until they had a hit song.they were unique sounding but the label new a big hit was coming. I think left overture was there third album not sure then the hits started coming. These guys were selling out shows long before they had a hit. Steven Tyler tried to cut the power to the stage while they were starting to play and the bass player took off after him and stopped him. If you opened for aerosmith and you band was hot that night you had to watch out for Steven Tyler. Record labels aren't interested in artist development anymore they are to greedy like the rest of corporate America. If you really want to know which albums had all good songs and worth 2to3 listens and then you'll understand
The problem here was Larry played so fast on the preceding song that he caused a rift in the time-space continuum. It affected half the stage, hence some of the mics went about 40 milliseconds into the future, and the rest stayed where they were. This is what caused the "flamming" sounds of the drums, as well as the psychedelic sound of Larry's guitar. Yep, his riff caused a rift.
+William Scull i just heard this for the first time and i can verify it takes you safely through the black hole time warp continuum. some kind of reverb or delay effect i suppose.
I believe this is the best version of the song! All further versions are excellent too, but not so good like this one ! Especially the very beginning is fantastic!
Seen Larry several times in past five years, twice at the legendary tiny club The Baked Potato in LA, where he, Ritenhour, Robben Ford and Steve Lukather used to play after their session work in the 70s and 80s. Larry always closed the show with Room 335, explaining the difference between it and SD's "Peg," which hysterical also a shift to a different key.
Carlton played with a melodic style that wasn't really being done at the time by the mainstream players. His tone sold a lot of Mesa Boogie amps back then too. Those Mark series maps and Gibson made for a killer combination. There is a lot of great playing on that album. I suggest that the skeptics among us grab that recording and check it out. Not edgy and a little dated maybe, but I doubt you would be put asleep. At the time of its release it was very fresh. Honest!
"sold a lot of Mes Boogie amps back then too." Guilty as charged. he had the same stacked combos at the Great American Music Hall in SF. Kid Charlemagne will always be my favorite solo, period.
absolutely. This is the larry we want to hear - amazing technique - amazing lines. His best album is mr 335 live in japan - just awesome. I think this might even be from that gig or that tour.
I saw him about five times at the Baked Potato, a little club down the street from his then house. So before the big tours of say, Japan, they'd practice with 3-4 nights at the BP. One night it was both Porcaros and Greg on keyboards. And then the place at Hermosa Beach, and the concert with Al Demiola, and at the BP with Pops Popwell, and the Crusader's keyboard, and uh..

Larry, killing it.
Band, killing it.
Sound guy, turned on slapback delay on master fader and went for coffee.
really makes the drums sound weird especially. thanks for mentioning, I thought "am I the only one hearing this?"
I gotta feeling someone lifted the video and didn’t sink the audio. Can’t be the original sound track.
Makes it almost unlistenable.
And we deal with it because you can't find this version anywhere else. God, I wish I could invent a time machine.
Sounds very weird
始まりの朝でも眠れない夜でもベストマッチな1曲
初来日コンサートと次の年のコンサートに行きました 素晴らしい時間でした
最近のインタビューで この曲がこんなに永く愛されるとは思わなかったので
嬉しいと言ってました😊baseの人もこんなにも永く愛される曲に参加出来た事は名誉なことだと喜んでました😂 フュージョンブームの頃のCD 沢山持ってますが 此の曲は今も時々聴いています 名曲だと思います😊
Sounds like 80s sitcom cause he played on 75% of everything out of LA for 25 years...thanks Larry...love your music
I believe he won 2 Grammys for the "Hill Street Blues" theme, great great song!
Then moved to Nashville because some Thug shot him.
テクニックに傾倒せず、ギターから自分自身の歌を引き出す演奏に感動です。
元々彼は ”｢ブルース｣の人” ･･･ですからね｡
Na verdade eles tocam jazz
Larry Carlton is my favorite guitarist. His studio version of this song is the best rock/jazz/blues/fusion guitar playing I've heard.
I saw him in concert front row seat a few years ago in Akron Ohio. :)
I could listen to Larry play for the rest of my life and it would not be a life wasted. Dude has tone for days
Which other guitarists do you like?
@@I_Have_The_Most_Japanese_Music I loved Alan Holdsworth and Joe Pass. They were such great jazz players. In the rock world, Terry Kath and Mark Knofler along with Larry have always been my favorites.
A great song played by a great band and lead by one of the all-time great jazz guitarists. Brilliant!
Carlton....simply in a class by himself. Every note saying something, with absolute lyricism and taste. Perfect marriage of technique, emotion, and musicality. His work on the Steely Dan records is timeless and a hallmark of their sound. In these post-shred days, they don't make 'em like this anymore. God Bless Larry.
He was Joni Mitchell's studio guitarist of choice too. In France They Kiss On Main Street mama. Not cheap display, lol.
この曲、room335と言うタイトルがまだ無かった時のテイク、、未だに記憶に残る凄い演奏でした、、ジャズの香りが満載のフレージング、、、
忘れられないね、、ラリーのポテンシャルは半端ないね。
何時いても飽きない名曲
天才としか言いようがない
日本人！
일본인!
japanese!!
تفبدت!!
Long time ago.....Love the pocket between bass player Pops Popwell and drummer John Ferraro. Great 70s Jam
He really enjoy playing the guitar,I feel.
And this version is the best I've ever heard!
Check out Larry Carlton and the SWR big band Room 335....it's on you tube.....also the original off the album Larry Carlton 1978.....this version too much grease on the guitar......very young sounding!

Me too, breathtaking for sure
昔の方が元気だけど、ギターを弾く上での「優しさ」は変わってないね。
この人のギターは、優しいんだよ。
How can you not love this performance.
The bassist in this video is a legend... Able to keep the tempo and groove perfectly
Pops Popwell!!!

個人全員素晴らしい！バンドとしても素晴らしい！
にしても演奏楽しそうだなぁ！
There are few guitar players with the elegance Mr Carlton has!
He has the look of someone who is really in the moment, who is loving what he's doing.... Nothing wrong with that.
Forget the great guitar playing (and the fact that I spent hours learning Larry's solo on this song). I love the red bell bottoms!!
超攻撃的なRoom335！
このバージョン聴いてから、他のバージョン聴くと物足りなくなってしまった…
An absolute master at the very top of his game. The pure joy on his face is so telling..
Bass is absolutly let killing it! Just incredible!
何よりこのライブはベースがヤバい🅿️
スゲー、ベースが踊り楽しんでいて、コッチもノリノリになるよ。テクはまったく、わからんけど。

Pops is amazing! And is that John Ferraro on drums?
I've always loved Larry's musical "philosophy". He's a "less is more" kind of guy, but he knows how to use technique appropriately :)
I wish I enjoyed anything as much as Larry Carlton enjoys playing guitar.
凄い😭ギターが歌っている感じ！本当に凄い
I think this is my new favorite song
Esto no existe mas el buen gusto , la calidez, no nos faltes nunca larry , maldito el tiempo, me eriza la piel...cada nota es vértigo ❤❤❤❤❤❤
OMG this is amazing music! Larry and his bass player and keyboardist are tight, tight, tight! Damn!

ほんと、楽しそうに、難しいことしますな〜。
Pops probably had to bury that bass after this performance because he straight killed it ‼️ I always enjoy Larry Carlton as well !
The most underrated guitarist of all time.
He was born to make music,every note is right,like his band.glad i still have the originals 335 and live in Japan.
Larry,youre,the best.
I love the way he never seems to play the song the same way twice!
ポップウェルかっこいい！！！

A great example of classic 70's jazz funk at its best.

The bass player is Robert Lee "Pops" Popwell.
The bassist is "Pops Popwell" he played on the "Strikes Twice" album, and was one of the first good string poppers back then!
Yep, his band The Crusaders w/Carlton were hot stuff back in the day!
Wow! Young Larry Carlton with hair!! ;-)
Thanks so much for uploading this!!
This looks like around the time when I saw him many times at the Roxy, Golden Bear, and even the Barn at UC Riverside. These shows were fantastic. He along with Ritenour, Benson, Lukather, were my favorite guitarists.

Pops Pops well is the highlight here.
