I was lucky enoough to be at this show, my first David Lindley live experience. Mind blowing. I recall David talking about them bringing string instruments from the California dryness to the humidity of New Orleans and watching them warp and become unusable. Didn't stop them from playing one helluva show in the Louisiana rain. RIP David...
RIP David Lindley! Remember getting told to sit down when you made us want to dance at the Golden Bear way back in the 1980's Counted 16 shows from my ticket stub jar, that I attended. Lindley is the slide guitar king; not to mention the master of an incredible collection of stringed instruments! Thanks for rocking all those years; and all those songs; and concerts!
Ry and David playing together always brings a smile to my face, and ya gotta love them gospel-inflected harmonies. Just 'cause I lean towards atheism doesn't mean I can't worship at the Church of Good Friends Making Great Music Together, right?!
Ry is one of the most unappreciated guitarists and has been for a long time. He can play any style of music at a very high level. Lindley is right up there with Ry. Linda Ronstadt called him the best guitar player she ever saw.
"Underappreciated"???? Only to out of it, unaware and way too young people. All critics, fans and fellow musicians have always "appreciated" Ry Cooder and have the highest praise of him since he first came on the scene in the 60's.

David Lindley and Ry Cooder is amasing in this performance..on stage and fantastic..legends at there best..Ry Cooder is making things happen in concert in front of thousands..incredible legendary music ..Ry Cooder a grand singer..never forgotten
Well, it's not a question of better or worse. Derek Trucks e.g. is one of a kind, too, and maybe his slide technique is unique, but both's slide playing is not comparable. But it's goddam enjoyable! What everybody can say: This is the slide guitar player I like most! Might be Duane Allman or Sonny Landreth or Derek Trucks or Ry Cooder or ...
I saw Ry and Dave at the Newport FF in ‘90. What an absolute thrill to see these two slide masters play together. Ry and Dave - both national treasures. RIP Mr Dave 😢
You ever hear a piece of music and feel it so much that you have to listen to it on repeat? I'm having that experience with this performance and my God is it glorious. This is what it's all about. It is truly a religious experience when it touches you like that. Powerful stuff, here. Wow.
Crazy about a Mercury huh..let the times roll on David Lindley and Ry Cooder..get it on boys..never forgotten..on stage and music flowing out ,how grandly..
Thanks to everyone here on this stage..Ry Cooder a legend and his son a great performer and David Lindley is terrific on that guitar and sings so good..great band..I enjoy all this terrific music..thank you all
Legends playing on stage and the drummer is keeping every beat..Ry Cooder And David Lindley are musicians that spread the word everywhere they are..rhythm is great
It is msgic watching these older clips of what were the days when music came from their soul..historicaly Ry has done so much for music revival to the rest of the planet from Cuba...before so many of them died well into their eighties...bless him I say..what a beautiful human..♥
Sometimes called a Mandocaster. I believe technically it’s an octave guitar. Full props to Lindley too on that bouzouki. There’s nothing with strings they can’t play.
I found a short video about this instrument. He goes into great detail about the setup and shortcomings of the instrument, but it sounds so sweet. czcams.com/video/GM9CaT1RtiA/video.html
Got two legends on this stage..David Lindley and Ry Cooder..best entertainment and guitar players in performance..rhythem and melody is fantastic with backup singers at there best..
@@RogerSteinbrinkh2oBrother True, I miss that dude, he would've come up with a hoodoo tune. I could see Bobby Lounge writing a funny piece about it. Allen Toussaint would have a brilliant song about it. Spencer Bohren could've written a "Long Black Line" equivalent of the pandemic. The deceased Nevilles and their living brothers could really funkify the virus. Dr. John would come up with something that would desitively knock me out. And Paul Barrierre, Lowell George, Ritchie Hayward, and the rest of Little Feat woulld slay all of us coming up with the "Wuhan Boogie."
Ry is a national treasure. Too bad most won't take the time to figure that out. I'm glad that there is more to music than most of the crap on the air these days.
I was fortunate enough to eat breakfast with Ry Cooder in Baton Rouge the morning after a concert. He had some enlightening views on hash browns and middle-aged men wearing shorts. A true American icon!
1994. Randy Newman singing "they're trying to wash us away' and the heavens opened with an almighty thunderstorm and lightning show. Shut down Bluesfest for an hour then Ry came out to close the day with this.
I hope this Covid-19 blow outs and Mollusk Surf Shop in Venice Beach (California) once again starts doing live shows. I'd love to see Ry or David there. Or at McCabe's Guitar shop in nearby Santa Monica.
1994.ry first thing mentions the Staple Singers and Pops. Just played in the gospel tent. They where magnificent. To then run over and see these to masters deliver god in music. Well. Nothing short of a miracle Music is god speaking to us We are all love. All together In melody Much thanks to these musical angels “Tell them what you want”
At this moment Ry Cooder is my favorite singer of all time. Other times might be David Bowie, Annie Lennox, Johnny Cash. But right now it's Ry. _all day_
2 of the GREATEST guitarists to ever live.....and 3 of the BEST background singers!!!
Gotta be thankful to have been alive to hear Ry Cooder and David Lindley play together. An honor!
Lindley is a brilliant musician. My Dream show or album would be him, Cooder and Jackson Browne. Why hasn’t this happened?
That’s great
I’ve been thankful twice both times in Glasgow and both great shows 👍 Also seen Ry every tour in GB since ‘88
Amen brother.

Life changing stuff😊
Ry Cooder and David Lindley; it doesn't get any better than this!!
Truly.
Lindley and Jackson Browne is pretty awesome too.

RIP David Lindley, so sorry you have left this world, it was so awesome to listen to & see your playing!! Jackson will miss you, I know I do.❤
RIP Mr. Dave...what a treasure.
This one really got me 😢
Ry Cooder is a GIANT in our music today....brings us the old stuff and his own unique sound. No charge! What a guy!!!
Ry and David playing together always brings a smile to my face, and ya gotta love them gospel-inflected harmonies. Just 'cause I lean towards atheism doesn't mean I can't worship at the Church of Good Friends Making Great Music Together, right?!
Paris Texas Ray cooder
good 'un
Yessir!
Amen, Brother!
Hate organized religion... and, love Jesus. You'll do alright that way.
Thank you David Lindley for sharing your enormous gifts with us. Rest well. 😔
Ry is one of the most unappreciated guitarists and has been for a long time. He can play any style of music at a very high level. Lindley is right up there with Ry. Linda Ronstadt called him the best guitar player she ever saw.
Linda's praise of Ry is exactly why I am here! He, David and Leland Skylar all amazing musicians!
"Underappreciated"???? Only to out of it, unaware and way too young people. All critics, fans and fellow musicians have always "appreciated" Ry Cooder and have the highest praise of him since he first came on the scene in the 60's.
Exactly! Totaly NOT unapppreciated!, most of the people just never heard of him or David, or Leland, or James, or Jackson, or Waddy or........
I lived right across the street from the fairgrounds NOLA from 1968-1972 .... RIP David one of a kind....
I was at this show. A thunderstorm was threatening throughout the entire show, but it never did, thank goodness. Memorable show.
I remember walking over from an amazing Wynton Marsalis set and hearing Jesus On the Mainline louder and clearer as I approached. Magic music day!
Goosebumps for decades ........ wonderful
God Bless Ry, Cooder for what he has contributed to contemporary music. And Thanks for bringing your son into this blessed mix.
Amen to that, Jeanne Callahan. This is such a beautiful version of this song. Ry’s got Jesus on the Mainline for sure!
Amen
Jeanne Callahan, Bill Callahan wrote a song titled "Ry Cooder" : czcams.com/video/gmAkcSagkzI/video.html
Grateful to have these clips here. If you feel it, you know it.
I was at this show. Ry also played a set with Ali Farka Toure. One of the greatest musical weekends ever. EVER.
me too both of those sets-aft n ry was ar congo if memory serves-old congo
Brian Smith I was there too, one of my favorite Jazzfests. Hiatt and The Goners on RayBan that day as well.
Brian Smith I don't doubt that!
Brian Smith You were one lucky SOB! This is priceless - to see these two on the same stage!
Brian Smith, do you happen to remember the exact year?
I love the Staples too. Pops Staples was amazing. God bless Ry Cooder! Best guitar player of all time! x
Ry is a trip altogether man. Just watching him make music is a joyful experience.
I’ve been a Ry Cooder fan for decades. On that first song, is that a mandolin?
Hallelujah! Joachim on the drum, behind his Dad. Love you guys. God Bless the Cooders!
Ryland Cooder.. one of the best guitar players of this galaxy.. Perhaps he is an alien...
Ry and his band do it for the LOVE of the music ☮️
Absolutely bloody brilliant
Lindley is The MAN ! .. and he always dresses so well !!
Very greasy indeed
The healing power of music. The Staples singers, Ry Cooder, and David Lindley.

Yep...that's Ry Cooder and David Lindley... Two of a Kind...or to say a perfect pair...nice vocals...good band...best musical spirit 😇😁🎸🎼
the dates were April 30, and May 1 '94 - i was there - they later backed malian guitarist ali farka toure!
SWEET...SWEET....SWEET!! PLAYING THIS OVER AND OVER. HONEY TO MY EARS!!!!
Regardles of posting before, this is musical mastery by two greatest exponents of this genere. So good.
David has this light hearted hop to his music. Great to see him live, on video, where the man shines forth. No better pair than David and Ry.
Remember he has worked with the majestic Jackson Browne what seems for ever
I saw Ry and Dave at the Newport FF in ‘90. What an absolute thrill to see these two slide masters play together. Ry and Dave - both national treasures. RIP Mr Dave 😢

Drummer is Ry's son..he's also featured in Buena Vista Social Club vid
I already miss Dave Lindley. What a great performance with Ry Cooder and his son Joachim on drum.
These are not the Staple Singers. These guys were in Cooder's band
Vocals by longtime collaborators Terry Evans, Bobby King and Willie Green.
Wow. Slide mandolin. Ry's so great!
I love this music, All these musicians are pure class
Seem Ry and David Lindley so many times in San Francisco Bay Area! Loved seeing them at Great American Music Hall!
There’s No one I love more than Ry Cooder and David Lindley together 👏👏👏👏👏👏. They Always Lift Me Up 🤣
Must be great for Ry to be playing with his son. Great music
OMG what a treasure to find! love these guys

Perfect Sound 😍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Lindley & Cooder are both people !
First of all I just need to take a moment to absorb the awesomeness of that little 12 string guitar/ mandolin😳
Sometimes called a Mandocaster. I believe technically it’s an octave guitar. Full props to Lindley too on that bouzouki. There’s nothing with strings they can’t play.

Those were the days. Jazz Fest , good artists, pre-storm. Superb.....
reasonably priced too.
Yeah and pre-pandemic. These guys need to come up with the "Wuhan Blues".

I have really tough days now, this soothes me, how beautiful you play and your voice; so expressive.
Thank you, @Ry Cooder
Timeless greatness on display.
Another dream day in my life captured on film. This was a beautiful day!!
Beautiful! Looks like Terry Evans & Bobby King on backing vocals as well
And Willie Green, the bass singer
Awesome!
Man, you got a name........ woah.
I love this tune so much I want it played at my funeral
Christ!
I was there. 1994. Still have, and wear the J&H Fest T -Shirt, lol!
What a cool surprise to find this.
This is glorious! Such a joy to listen to.
Lindley - you fashion plate you!
Saw Mr Dave in his finest polyester in Charlotte years back.
I've never seen him wear anything "normal" and that's OK. We got enough normal people.
@@bigred1222 I mean, "What has he come as?"
Oh yeah, just what I need this afternoon!
Fills my heart with joy ! grateful !
Goosebumps
Just fantastic stuff. Two of the greats.
God I love this man so much ,,,,,,,,
Love this festival...it's been 18 years. Gotta get back down there! I caught Ry, Mr. Dave & Joaquin In '90, Vancouver.
WOW
Totally magnificent clip of some incredible musicians.
Amazing sounds & so,so good.
