Mark is playing thru an 'electret condenser mic' a tiny capsule with a little wire and usually an equalizer, all powered with a 9V battery. Gives a uniquely overdriven sound, so perfect with a harp. Enables the player to avoid the weight and size of an Astatic J35. MFord is an incredible harp player and backed by his brother Robben who is a masterful jazz and blues guitarist, the sound they create, is incredibly tight and great to hear! Long live the Ford brothers! You've been rockin us for over 50 yrs!
I saw the Ford bros a few times at the Catalyst and once at the Safari, both in Santa Cruz, Ca. Mid 70’s. At the Safari Pat introduced Robben…”and on guitar, Wayne Newton”..😂 Mark on harp is smoother than a gravy sandwich! Monster talented family 👍❤️
One of my favorite guitarists and singers;.forgot to listen to his music for a while; silly me! It still sounds like great.and I like the familiarity and good mood it puts me in. Thank you, Mr. Ford❤️
When I was 17, I went on a date with a stunning model. I had this albumn and song playing in my car. She said "What the hell is this shit?!". I pulled to the side of the road and said "Get out, we are NOT compatible!". Sadly, this is a true story
This (unfortunately) fairly bassless mix allows a good study of Robben's impeccable rhythm playing, a great study. The keyboard's left hand was probably fine in the room but didn't make it to tape very well. Still feels good. Lick at 1:03 is same as on the record, that's cool.
For me 'The Holy Triumvarate' of guitar playing Bluesmen is Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray and Robben Ford. When these 3 guys were on stage they were 100% there and completely gone at the same time, totally lost in the Music.

I’m sure you’re right this is the best Blues and best Blues Harp around. How do know so much about his mic
Mark/ Patrick are family friends. Humble MASTERS❤❤❤❤❤
My thoughts exactly
Where can I buy a mic like Marks?
That’s some bad ass harmonica tone and licks……sheesh
Mark is a legend! Tone forever!
32 years ago and they still are both the best harp & guitar players I know!
One of the best harp players - Ever !!!
Talk to your daughter, one of the finest blues albums ever.
Dam I love this song many different versions live all different and fantastic

I love how RF starts its solo with some harp-like phrasing. Talk about interplay!

Thank you for posting this! Do you know where this was? On the 1st Robben Ford CD I ever owned, named after this song. Still love the tune!
It was at a club in new York called the bottom line.
MF is great ok I play harmônica, but RF oh My god what a fantastic guitar player
RF throws a bit of Canned Heat in the mix...
Nods to Paul Butterfield and done with due respect, nice
Who is playing the harmonica.?
Brother Mark Ford
........:)
Who's on Keys?
Bill Boblitz
No bass player?
Keyboards playing bassline. X
Where's Roscoe Beck? Before his time I guess.
@@robertbarrett6267 It wasn't before his time. He was likely booked elsewhere.
