This past Friday evening, we attended the club Fox in downtown Redwood City, California. This was an amazing performance by Eric Gales!! Great show and great venue!
Ah, the good old days, when people used to gather and celebrate a great artist, enjoy the vibes and breathe one another's air. Thanks for making lockdown a wee bit more bearable.
Man....you can really feel his joy in his playin' and singin'..! Very emotional and honest! A joy for me listening and watching! Thumbs up for Eric and his amazing Band. Thank you. God bless. Greets from Germany.
A free spirit who plays like nobody else - jazz chords mixed with blues undertones and blistering runs. He plays the guitar left handed upside down with the strings strung as a right handed guitar - his high E string is on top - I don't know how he plays ? ? ?
Dude is a flat out beast. I've yet to come across footage of Eric playing live that hasn't sizzled my brain. The smoothness and fluidity of his playing is off the damn chain....
I knew Eric was gifted from the first note I heard him play. He may very well be the greatest guitarist I have ever seen/heard in my life. He can play anything... blues, jazz, classical, and he shreds Hendrix like no other player ever all upside down and backwards. This man has all of the guitar DNA of every God who ever played the instrument.
No question. I agree 100%! I think Eric is all the blues,Jazz ,Rock and country greats rolled up into one. He has the most unique ability to combine them all and have it flow so seamlessly. He just did a little Hot for the teacher Van Halen bit as I was listening and writing this. Then went Jazz and then right into the bluesy R & B song South Paw Serenade.
Man! I’ve been playing for well over 40 yrs and can follow most folks and their hands and chord structures as they play, but upside down and backwards?! All I know is it sounds damn good!🙀🔥🔥🔥🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
@@mikegogel78 correct, he is not underrated or underappreciated any longer since he went on the cruise with Joe, Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea with so many other great artists. That is where he and Joe decided they would work together on a new release, can't wait for it to come out. If you want to see some of the cruise vids, and they are spectacular, look up postings by 1 Anitras Dance, just fantastic quality
Puxa não conhecia Eric Gales, muito bom. Seus improvisos são realmente sensacionais, aqui de SP Brasil. Obrigado pelo video. Dois canhotos bem raro isso.
Ey Mom!!!!!!!!! If he´s Lefty and he´s playing a RH guitar, can I do the same on my Bass please, please? Sure Honey!, you can too, jajjajajajaja I love this band. I never get tired of them.
SUCH A PLAYER! Ha! A very simple basic tone revealing his aawsome talent! Plays like a young man with old mans wisdom...,Im always been a strat guy, its a pleasure to listen hoe people use it soo differently..., now theres a pedal by Eric Gales: Rawdawg...,just like his basics: good honest cleanish basic tone! never heard a pedal soun more like its master...
Eric Gales playing his signature guitar with his signature on it, hung by his signature guitar strap with his signature on it, wearing his signature shirt with his signature on it, positioned in front of his signature 2-drummer setup each wearing his signature shirt with his signature on it, standing beneath a giant video screen with his signature on it... you know just in case anyone forgets who it is
In this world, a talent needs to put their name out there 24/7. He plays his signature guitar because Fender finds value in it. He is making his signature worth more than ones balance in a checkbook. Saying you are lazy is nothing to admire.
I also wanna know the name of the song, but I think he plays his interpretation of at least two led zeppelin songs and some other artists. I defenetlly sense Your time is gonna come and the intro also gives so much LZ feel. I might be wrong, but anyway, the song is beautiful.
Uh.. he's gotten out on left field. Great tone, but seems he doesn't really need the band. Know what i mean? It's like he's in his own world and just jammin' alone in a music store. Bassist is non existent. Eric just takes off into wierd shit that don't fit sometimes. It would sound SO much better with a little reverb on the vocal. I don't get it. Dude. Whats up? You're playing either way to fast of a lick, or its a one riff train wreck. Calm down and let the band play too..like a song. LoL Like you used to.
He is a free spirit and unpredictable - you won't get the same performance in 6 months time caused he's moved on - he's like trying to catch lightning in your hands - these types of creative people are in their own world and sometimes you won't understand - and then now and again you get the genius shining through and NOBODY can touch them.
This is our modern day Jimi Hendrix. Bar none. Talent and feeling is like no other guitar player out there today. Period. Kills them all !
This guy is out of this world without a lefty guitar, he is truly underrated, freaking awesome !!!
And I love the way his signature Eric Gales is in the shape of a butterfly representing his transition of spirit and soul as a man
Ah, the good old days, when people used to gather and celebrate a great artist, enjoy the vibes and breathe one another's air. Thanks for making lockdown a wee bit more bearable.
This guy is the best in the world what concern the blues. Bravo Éric lm a big fan
Eric is that , but lets give the drummer some love cause he is holding that pocket and his fills are freaking awesome........👌👌👌👌👌💥💥👀

He has more energy and more emotion than anyone I have ever seen in concert, and I have seen a ton of artists through the years cause I'm 66

Jimi would be smiling down on him.

due to his way of playing guitar, his bendings and shredding are just impossible to replicate...
@@Jeff4014 Unless you somehow become the next Albert King
THE GREATEST IN THE WORLD... MY GOD WHAT A GIFT YOU GAVE HIM.
Man with a great Gift!
Amazing! You’re my favorite bro, I love your artistry. Your blues speak volumes.
I love it, and I ve got the true ! ears...
Straordinario musicista
"Yes Sir"
Wow:)
YOU ARE THE ONE WHO MADE ME CRY ...
Nailed it. 🔨🎸🔥
Thank you for capturing and sharing EG's exuberance and energy. Looking forward to events like this again someday. EG! EG!
He will play down here in Rio das Ostras Rio de Janeiro.... Blues and Jazz Festival in Novembro 2021. wow,,
i like song " how do i get you " 👍
29:20. That’s gorgeous. When I first heard this I started to tear up. Isn’t that the outro to Clapton’s ‘Layla’?
There is a damn good reason why Joe Bonamassa considers him the greatest guitar player of our time...
Indeed
When did Joe say that, and are you sure he wasn't looking in a mirror at the time?! 😃
Play your block mane. And bring peace to our souls
Mono , Eric and now this bass player is lefty. I friggin love it
Tremeererererererendo!!!!!!!!!!!!💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Eric Gales is one of my favourite wrestlers .
Nice guy. Unbelievably talented. Soon as you can, go see him play. Gave me goosebumps.
Holy crap
This guy is just so underrated so great
He really isn't bro
@@mikegogel78 just curious what makes you think that. He has a criminally small fan base for being such an absolute GOD on the strings

Power house on guitar, love his playing..... I think he should sing a lot more. Nice seasoned voice. 👍🏾🙏🏾🔥
he really does have a great voice
At times he sounds like Ray Charles!
11:46 wow man
Puxa não conhecia Eric Gales, muito bom. Seus improvisos são realmente sensacionais, aqui de SP Brasil. Obrigado pelo video.
Dois canhotos bem raro isso.
He needs more exposure
He's got the correct amount. Don't be in doubt. The system doesn't work like it used to. He's got everything coming to him that he deserves.
i want to see him play to an crowd of 3. I love Eric and that would be satisfying to see him focus
Nice job on the video!
Love it
Get em Eric🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶
isso sim é guitarrista ....pegada fenomenal...
Ey Mom!!!!!!!!! If he´s Lefty and he´s playing a RH guitar, can I do the same on my Bass please, please? Sure Honey!, you can too, jajjajajajaja I love this band. I never get tired of them.
Tremendo Eric Gale, música e inspiracion!
His guitar is strung from top to bottom meaning the high E is on top and he is a lefty that's what make his sound so unique can't be copied

Eric Gales Monster
Amazing!!

What is the title of the song from 18:00 ? -- greeting from Indonesia
If only Albert King could see this... Or Stevie Ray.
Amazing
He makes love to my ears...
Gran guitarra.!! Digne successor d'el gran Jimi Hendrix.
What song is it that starts at 17:14?

wow
✌
What is the song title that starts around 18:00?
4:50 i thought he was going to play Hot for Teacher
29:20
What song is this?
Layla
👏🏾😲🙂
Who’s that LADY playing precusion cooking 🧑🍳 🙏
Eric’s wife Ladonna Gales is the percussionist.
26:20 Purple rain solo?
E.G. is his own cheerleader tho he dont need one.......I dont see how anyone can stay still or silent when he plays.
Puta que o pariu!!! Esse cara é demais!
これがBluesという音楽なのか😊
He musta had a lesson.
The Upside Down Strat Club….. how?
Even the Bass player is a lefty.
Thank God I found one bass player real smoith combo the whole band is sweet being 100
Охуенно!
Ага! 😀
To bad!
Why do you white people just yell out lmaoo is that yall way of catching the Holy Ghost 😂😂😂
"You white people". The 1800's called. It wants its racism back.

you just don-t understand ...
Shut up! I like that style of playing he is unpredictable, never boring. Go listen to Joe bonamassa if you are so perturbed about his playing.
He is a free spirit and unpredictable - you won't get the same performance in 6 months time caused he's moved on - he's like trying to catch lightning in your hands - these types of creative people are in their own world and sometimes you won't understand - and then now and again you get the genius shining through and NOBODY can touch them.
@@nrich5127 You’re right man ..... he just don’t understand
Don’t blame the mix you’re hearing or anything :)
The Algorithm is working Beautifully … The more I watch Eric …. The more I see him on my feed 😁🫡
