I got to first see/hear EG live in Kansas city,mo a couple years ago. ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for being by his side encouraging him and sharing him with the world.
Mr. Gales, I'm so Glad and Honored to see you on July 20 2023! Can't wait to see the guy who influence me, and push me in my life! I'm 32 only, I never saw Hendrix or SRV, but I will live this concert the same way as Hippie saw Hendrix at Woodstock! (Whitout drug or alcohol) Also, I want to thank you. Your passion and music continue to keep me out of addiction. Small 60 days... but it's amazing to be clear and feel the power of love and music 🎶 I'll bring my white strat to the festival. Maybe you would sign it for me 🙃🫠 God bless you 💫
I didn't know a whole lot about Eric Gales (genuinely my bad) I got to see the band in York two days ago and was absolutely blown away with everything, They were the tightest band I've ever seen in my life, and I've seen a lot of bands, up till now the tightest band I had seen was Michael Jackson's band (15 of the greatest musicians on the planet) Everyone on stage was truly remarkable, Of course Eric steals the show with his utter brilliance, and true warmth, Smoke Face mesmerizing pure theatre (incredibly good) and another highlight was LaDonna tucked away at the back and every so often coming out to wave at the audience with a huge smile on her face with exuberance and excitement you can't fake. I can't wait to see them all when they get to the Royal Albert Hall
Happy Birthday Eric!! I listen to your music in 1990 when I seen you on the Arsenio hall show. And still love listen too!! God bless you and your family!!
Just imagine if you could that every black man on this planet had the type of wife/friend in their corner that Eric Gales has! She stood up in a room full of people and said that she is never going to let that man fall! I've been looking for a woman like that my whole 44 years on this planet I almost burst into tears when she said that! Powerful! DAMN!
This guy is just so great. I spoke to LaDonna once and said "tell Eric I say he is the new Hendrix" she said hold on... Then she said "Eric says thank you!" That sums it all up! What great people, changing the world one show at a time! All the Love
YES !!!!!! 2022 will be a BLUES year for me !!! I am living in France, and after buying my tickets for Kingfish, Gary Clark, Walter Trout, I was hoping for Eric to come in FRANCE and that's it ! I have my precious ticket. I have been listening to this guy since Picture of a thousand faces and I am so glad to go and see him on stage next year !!! I can't wait !
Mr gales you are an inspiration to us all.... today is 13 years sober for me...Nov 5 2008 was the last day I had a drink...I was putting away a liter of stoli A DAY at 33 years old ...walked straight away cold turkey and never looked back....changed my life forever...10 times the man and father I ever was when I was drinking and drugs and working 3 jobs 80 hours a week...happy birthday man...I'm 47 years old and a guitar nerd who can't get enough of you...God bless you and your beautiful family 🙏❤️☮️🎸
It’s beyond a dream to see my brother smoke 💨 up there with you Eric. My grandfather had us listening to you since we were little and for him to be able to spend your birthday with you is very special to me. Happy birthday bro! You are the baddest man on the planet and been had the crown!
This show I participated in viewing last night was priceless.. Eric..I'm so glad when I found your music so many years ago. Mostly because of Pinnick Gales and Prodgern. After that I was yet again reborn. Note: When you find an artist that is is your assimilar to your soul..Yes.
My and the Mrs. seen you a couple months back at the Wildey (Edwardsville, IL). We look forward to seeing you again. Safe travels and belated HB to you.
Merci. As Deep as the love of LaDonna for Eric is...I thank you for being the sincere artist that you are and that allows you to compose and play such good music.... through this music, it's good to be your friend! I'm a french true passionate guitar player and I love your Humanity. This concert is a nice homage to you, then: happy birthday Eric, 🎸🙏☮️♥️
Great performance by all three. Grew up in Memphis where Eric is from and now live in Chi. Met his brother "little Jimmy King "in Memphis when he was living. Saw and met Eric a couple times when he performed in Chi at Fitzgerald's and at Buddy Guy's in Chicago. Truly a humble and personable spirit. Happy Bro day. Creator and watch over you and "Keep that Memphis fire going. "
Eric. Caught you on what was possibly your 1st appearance on national tv (forget the name of the morning show). Was 1000 years ago. I knew nothing about you. Actually, I don't even know why I watched. I am glad I did. You were an awkward teen (who wasn't) and you what came out of your guitar was not what I expected. I thought it was gonna be the typical mainstream R&B stuff on the radio at the time. OMG! AM I EVER GLAD THAT I DIDN'T CHANGE THE CHANNEL!!! What you have become as a musician is just S.I.C.K!!! I been playing guitar as long as you and I am NEVER not shocked when you play. I'd give a lung to have that type of talent! Good Lawd!!! I moved from the West Indies to Canada at 6. Fell in love with the guitar ever since. YOU ARE ONE OF THE TOP TALENTS I HAVE EVER WITNESSED!!! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Eric, Jubu, Isaiah, all praises due to the Most High! 3 flavors of absolute AWESOMENESS!💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾🤘🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥🤘🏾✊🏾🙏🏾 imagine if these cats did a record together.🤔💣🤯
GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU whom have had struggles with sobriety and in the words of JUBU SMITH, GOD PLEASE DON'T TAKE MR GALES AWAY FROM US BEFORE HIS TIME. HE HAS SO MUCH MORE TO GIVE US!
Always we should be prepared at the right moments Every day is your birthday keep it in your mind. This was and is a brightshining celebration of loving souls in music Every breath a spark of god in all beings in every tone
I have NEVER seen sharkey play his ass off like that- that is one of the best guitar solos I have ever seen. That much passion and energy, He laid it allllll out there just like eric does every time he plays. That must've been the biggest honor to eric, I love that this was done for Eric.
Absolutely incredible! If Sharkey would produce records like THIS I would listen to it all day and night long. Was just flashed by this solo; you are a truly amazing human and it must be a complete privilege to jam with you. Love from Switzerland
MY GUY!!!!!! Happy belated birthday wishes my brother! I actually lost my oldest brother on your birthday,so I was kinda out of touch for a minute,but you know I love you bro! So glad this was posted!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Happy Birthday Eric Gales and best wishes from Germany.Thanks for your Music.. and thank you for sharing soulfull musicians to the people
Kudos to that drummer man, what a beast!
I didn't know a whole lot about Eric Gales (genuinely my bad) I got to see the band in York two days ago and was absolutely blown away with everything, They were the tightest band I've ever seen in my life, and I've seen a lot of bands, up till now the tightest band I had seen was Michael Jackson's band (15 of the greatest musicians on the planet)
Everyone on stage was truly remarkable, Of course Eric steals the show with his utter brilliance, and true warmth, Smoke Face mesmerizing pure theatre (incredibly good) and another highlight was LaDonna tucked away at the back and every so often coming out to wave at the audience with a huge smile on her face with exuberance and excitement you can't fake.
I can't wait to see them all when they get to the Royal Albert Hall
OMG EG TY so much. Fantastic evening of Genius.
The great Eric Gales! Greetings from the deep south of Brazil! ;)
Happy Birthday Eric!! I listen to your music in 1990 when I seen you on the Arsenio hall show. And still love listen too!! God bless you and your family!!
Happy belated Birthday! Eric!!! My 63rd trip around the sun, was 2 days before your... younger mans trips around the same... You are the man!
Just imagine if you could that every black man on this planet had the type of wife/friend in their corner that Eric Gales has! She stood up in a room full of people and said that she is never going to let that man fall! I've been looking for a woman like that my whole 44 years on this planet I almost burst into tears when she said that! Powerful! DAMN!
I am in tears watching listening to Isaiah Sharkey. Incredible...
From one man in recovery to another man in recovery. Sobriety has given me everything that alcohol and drugs had promised me. We love you Eric Gales.
This guy is just so great. I spoke to LaDonna once and said "tell Eric I say he is the new Hendrix" she said hold on... Then she said "Eric says thank you!" That sums it all up! What great people, changing the world one show at a time! All the Love
YES !!!!!! 2022 will be a BLUES year for me !!! I am living in France, and after buying my tickets for Kingfish, Gary Clark, Walter Trout, I was hoping for Eric to come in FRANCE and that's it !
