It was a wonderful thing that Wayne reformed the band in the 90s. He, Wayne and Joe got in a few good licks before the trio passed away. In this precious performance you can perceive the energy that they get from each other. And Put It Where You Want was the perfect vehicle
I know this tune from the Crusaders since so many years that i can sing every single not of each instrument. This live version is so cool to hear. Carlton is definitively a genius. He's never lost, never lost his audience either, tight or lazy on tempo but always so musician. He's just great. I like when he plays with his friends Robben Ford, Steve Lukather, etc or Sapphire Blues Band. It always sounds sooooo good
That's Wayne Henderson from The Crusaders. He and Wilton Felder (sax player) were both with the Crusaders "back in the day". Great video. I started listening to The Crusaders back around 1976.
Good googly moogly!!! That was the shi#!!! Too much fun on stage with this Crusader's hit. Larry was channeling BB in his solo too, then went off to his blues place. Very nice! Loved it. Playing the chart that I found online, Joe Sample's Wurlitzer chords. So I'm having fun too...woo hoo! Tight!!
Gee wiz!! Just listen to how Larry just funkifies his notes so darn well,, the entire solo is just awesome! Seriously folks,, the world would not be as nice a place without his heart and soul! No kidding here! WOW!
How much fun was that?!! So much fun! That band was totally in it. Great solos from all three. Larry always has an awesome tone whichever guitar he plays but I am really liking his sound on that telecaster.
Larry Carlton, the Fifth Crusader ("POPs" Powell, on bass, was the Sixth). Interesting that he picks this tune, as he wasn't on the original recording, although he was a Crusader, later. Wilton Felder is, as always, the ultimate R 'n' B Tenor player, and Wayne Henderson (God Bless 'im, the first to go) is as good a 'Bone man as Urbie Green, J. J. Johnson, Kai Winding, you name it. Carlton, a most intelligent jazz-rock player, plays here with a complete emotional abandon that would make Clapton proud.
Think Larry breaks his E string at the beginning of the song, But he just plays on as good as ever. Most inspiring licks and tone from a great guitarist, here maybe at the top of his career. Thanks for loading
Anyone interested in hearing an incredible Larry Carlton guitar solo, and incredibly performed, take a listen to another Crusaders song -- this time, the studio version of a tune titled "Spiral."
hey,, how many of us guitbox players have fought the impulse to throw our guiutars right into the fireplace after hearing Larry do his magic? And I DO MEAN MAGIC! LOL!!
I agree, and Larry was at his very best when he was "Mr. 335" and had hair to his shoulders. Ouuuh, did I love him then and did I learn just listening to him! After his unfortunate gun shot wound, it was never quite the same. Saw him twice after that and the magic was gone, he was just quoting his old self. His "twin" Lee Ritenour fared better. I caught them sharing the same bill at Disney Paris 10 y. ago, and the clear winner was... Lee (doing a very decent "Wes", among other goodies!)
We're from different generations, then, @@funklover24, and I take it as downright good ( _but expected, despite my nuanced critical comment_ ) news that a "Gen' Y" like you can be entirely sensitive to his immense talent! 😃👍 ( _Plus I feel deeply akin, as a baby boomer, to anyone of any generation putting forward _*_'Funk'_*_ as the most joyful and motivating music there is!_ 🙃) When Larry makes his intro' announcement, here, he summons his great initial "proving grounds" with *"The Crusaders"* solemnly and powerfully, but... any 'old-timer' will frown, after such an intro', to not see *Joe Sample* , the "soul" of the Crusaders, come on stage ( _he died in 2014, but this was 1997_ ). The keyboardist here is far from anywhere near Sample's sharpness and reference electric piano playing, which degrades somewhat the quality of execution of the tune. To account for that, I just read on Wikipedia that between 1995 and 2003, there was a conflictual coexistence of a new instance of the old "Jazz Crusaders", that Larry joined, versus the more modern "Crusaders", which was the product of Sample and Carlton co-leadership starting in 1971. What I'm telling you, Funklover24, is representative of the more precise musical investigation that a 50- or 60-year-old music lover will get to. But I'm dowright glad that we feel the same enthusiastic effect, across the ages, for Larry's music! ✌️
@@LeeOLumbroso Bro, I'm 59 ... :D And thanks a lot for writing! :) Since I never had the chance to experience Larry live before the gunshot I don't really know, how it felt (live is more intensive than a video). I heard Larry live five times after about 2000 and it always was phantastic, that's all I can say. But I cannot compare with his early period, so may be I stay phonky. ;) To me Larry's best albums are "Larry Carlton", "Sleepwalk", "Friends" and "Last Nite", which are from his early period. Somehow the corresponds with the things you said. Later he turned to a smoother period, which is not my cup of tea that much. I also miss Jeff Porcaro's drumming on the later records, which did fit wonderful to Larry's style (also love Steve Gadd's contribution on Sleepwalk and John Robinson's playing on Last Nite). Living in Germany doesn't give the chance catching that many concerts with artists like Larry and actually I checked all programs of the clubs in my area in order to find a gig with him, but never succeeded before around 2000. I would give a lot for listening to a concert in The Baked Potato in the seventies or early eighties (may be also some Lobotomy Stew :D) ... Anyway I hope, there will be some more gigs with Larry after the Corona-shit. :)
@@funklover24 : Hey, dear baby boomer bro' indeed! From neighbouring Germany! 🇫🇷 🇩🇪 _'Ich möchte leicht Deutsch sprechen und schreiben !'_ ;-) I knew I was taking a risk of mistaking about your age and end up "patronizing" you inadequately. ☺️ I did and thank you very much for taking it the right way. You certainly do know what you're talking about, at your age, but it's certainly more manifest when you write me 10 lines rather than one! When I comment on CZcams in English, I tend to think I'm discussing with just Americans. If I'd known I was discussing with a "nearby" German fellow, it may have colored my reply diffferently. And to be complete: I don't remember either seeing Larry in concert before 2000. It's just that my extra 8 years of life and possibly the fact that I was a musician -- and maybe you aren't -- have made me follow Carlton's careeer while it was unfolding. I saw him live for the first time in 2000 at "Disney Village", in Disneyland Paris, 5 miles from home. His band was touring Europe with his "musical twin", Lee Ritenour's band. They did alternate nights. I saw Larry's band of the time on one evening, and Lee Ritenour's band the next -- _that was feast! _ I had records of them both, in my collection, but Larry was my favorite. Still, on that double date, I couldn't help be more impressed by Ritenour's powerful new formation and their dynamics than by Larry's band and gig, which was truthful to what I knew, but with nothing renewed. Here's Lee Ritenour with that formation, including a great female drummer, HIllary Jones if you don't know him: czcams.com/video/o3rvmPEc4ZA/video.html BUT! ( _I was going to forget to mention it!_ ) I *love* everything Larry did with *Robben Ford,* who was my favourite guitar-player |after| Larry, in the 90s.

@@LeeOLumbroso Greetings back over the Rhein and, bro, I have one more surprise for you: I AM a musician. Never forget, Larry is a musician's musician. 🤣😂🙃😉💥🥰 I also have been at a couple of Lee's gigs and also heard Hilary Jones live, but in the band of Robben Ford, can You please forgive me? 🙃😂🤣😜 This turns out to be a very funny dialogue, since it look's like we have something in common. 😉 One encore: I also thought, I'm chatting with someone from the US ... may be somebody joining The Baked Potato in LA every week ... 👌
Can't agree with you on this one at all. Larry's grown into a subtle and often understated genius over the years. Larry's probably to the ES-335 as Jeff Beck is to the Strat. Neither is all flash, but a heck of a lot of control, tension, and stellar phrasing. Larry's fingers and the strings are one (or six). And I would not want to be forced to pick a favorite between Larry and Lee under any circumstances. Two entirely different guitar players, equal in their respective domains.
@hold1119 Late to this but... Interesting question: they're both classic instruments. You wanna sound like Steve Cropper, go for the telecaster, and that's very cool, but the Gibson's better for blues. I've a 335 and Iuuurve it.. & then there's the strat, and Jimi Hendrix, but that's another story..
@hold1119 Most would say it depends on what music you play. Some would say a Gibson is better for Jazz but quite a few jazz players have used Fender Teles, including Ed Bickert,Ted Green, Joe Pass, Danny Gatton could get ANY tone on his Telecaster.. Gibsons can be abit predictable. If you get the right Tele it can't be beat. That hollow, nasal sound goes great with Jazz...gives it a Blues/Country feel.

I love the saxophone sound of Wilton Felder, already from the beginning of The Jazz Crusaders way back in '62!
That's Wayne Henderson from The Crusaders. He and Wilton Felder (sax player) were both with the Crusaders "back in the day".
Great video. I started listening to The Crusaders back around 1976.
That groove though! You feeling what im feeling? Thats happy music..Larry leading from the front✊🏾🥇

How good is Larry's tone. Best sound in the world, Hands Down!
mY FAVORITE guitar player, bar none
Larry Carlton is a soulful man.
They just don't make 'em like this any more! Free, spirited, talented and FUN !
wow, i haven't heard this in ages... and it STILL sounds good, too!!!
Gee wiz!! Just listen to how Larry just funkifies his notes so darn well,, the entire solo is just awesome! Seriously folks,, the world would not be as nice a place without his heart and soul! No kidding here! WOW!
Oh My Oh My!!
Brings a happy tear to see my old gig and session partner, the late Chris Kent, on bass helping to make this recipe taste so good.
Chris Kent loved him. RIP his music lives on!
+Patrick Lamb Sad,,,, miss him as well!
À meeting can change a life. He’s the proof.
WHEN the audience claps wrong ! FORTUNATELY THE BAND STANDS !
I love Larry Carlton... (and Crusaders!).
Wonderfully soothing....funky...cool, thx....keep spreading the news !
This is just awesome! It grooves so hard my laptop nearly fell off the table.
Too kewl! - the Tele tell`s it ! ` all you need @ nothin` you don`t`. The Bone player nailed it too!
Man thats tasty playing..!!
They will aways live on in our hearts
Wilton Felder!!!!!
Jazz Masters!!
Fantastic bass, on it the whole time, maestro!
Chris Kent, in memoriam.
Great bassist.
See you later, man.
GREat jam tune I think this is the 1st time Im hearing it
Never tired of Larry and/or the Crusaders deep grooves. Soulful shite!
Man-o-Man, this is hair-raising cool!
Yeah, but Larry shows them how it's done. So nice to hear this again, even if it's not 100% original lineup.
Beautiful! I listen to the crusaders since the middle eighties (thanks to my father) and this is a really enjoyable version of my favorite song :)
Great song, great groove, fantastic players, and one fine guitar note at 6:22-6:23!
WISHED I WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE THIS NIGHT !! THIS IS THIS IS THE BEST VERSION OF THIS SONG I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!!!!
The Tele tell`s ... so Funkin` fine!
1971 I was 10 years old 😂😂😂😂
Priceless 😎👍🇺🇸
How much fun was that?!! So much fun! That band was totally in it. Great solos from all three. Larry always has an awesome tone whichever guitar he plays but I am really liking his sound on that telecaster.
AWB put words in the version that they did.. which made it cook even more. Larry Carlton cooks even more on this... AG
Al Jarreau did a vocal version of this song as well.
RIP & Thank you WILTON, WAYNE & JOE...
Larry just sounds good on any guitar, he'd even sound like Larry Carlton if he were playing a ukulele ;-)

Larry is the best overall guitarist! No joke! Nobody,,,, NOBODY................ plays like him!!! He delivers the SHIVERS............!!!
Man, the drummer is a DUDE!!
the bass player is a monster....
sensational
I'm really diggin' the guy in zebra overall's trombone. Check out the Dizzy Gillespie tbone!
In 1971, I was 10 years old. 😁
Love it❤

Glad I wasn't in the car when that happened to his bone.
I'd be keen to see the case he carries that thing in.
People in the audience in front of his microphone should be glad that its bell points up.
Huh....in 1971 I was in Vietnam trying to stay alive.
Larry Carlton acting the Fool
This is an interesting comment just below given that Mr. Carlton is playing a Stratocaster and not a 335, but who's counting...
Jim Wilcox that’s a Telecaster. Which he played quite often.
Larry's voice sounds like Jerry Seinfeld
Whilton Felder is funny....never he was a good technican or special lick player. He made it in the Sax-Olymp anyway :-)
Great perfofmance. But it's just sad to hear them clapping on all 4 beats, like a damn Bierzeltaudience...
