What you don't realize, was this was his breakthrough moment. Until this point in his career nobody outside Austin knew who he was. He was given a shot; He Nailed His Moment.
Doyle Bramhall II deserves credit here I think. Great players. Great to see one let the other come to the fore and not insert themselves. Great performance all round.
Reminds me of how it was only after Jimi Hendrix found fame in the UK that the Americans wanted to take notice. Until then he was only another “black man” who had his amps turned down. Legends prevail ✌️
2:10 Probably one of the greatest music shots of all time. A gritty song about fame and pride and then a shot of him capturing the entire crowd in his visor. So cool
I listen to this every so often as the performance isn't exactly the same sound as it is on the Crossroads Album. This is the first time I noticed the crowd reflected in the sunglasses. What awesome photography! Doyle Bramhall Ii is great on this too.
Modern blues rock doesn't get any better than this. I've been listening to these kind of jams since the 1960's and I'm here to tell you... this young man is the REAL...deal.
Is that an American thing where something like "The Grammy's" is a Global thing, I came across Mr Clark Jr by total accident. He deserves more and better............just saying@@gsk9
It is a fantastic cut, band, vocals, ax, all of it, the production would have been more crisp (wow, huh, pretty crisp as is) if they used the new 803PC-6 system, as it separates all instruments by setting and ranges as well... be in the storm, watch the storm -be the storm. You gonna; know his name and he doesn't even "rap" that name 20 times as so many do, ciao now
No body notice the fact that at 3:30 the guy in the Yellow tshirts was supposed to play his solo but due to technical difficulty there was no sound and he says it in Gary's ear and Gary improvises for the rest of the song ,LIVE, mind-blowing
Welcome to the future of blues, I only discovered him 2 years ago and so glad I did unfortunately with the current restrictions not likely to see him play anytime soon.
Listen to the live of "when my train pull in". In this live for this particular song the solo is on another level almost to the one from Jimmy Hendrix and Carlos Santana. And the voice is perfection. Since i saw and listen to this live i became a fan.
What people don't know was there was a technical problem.. The P.A. dropped sound so they couldn't hear right. He extended the intro of the song til the sound kicked in on the other guitarist amp... then it came back on. You can see the yellow shirt guy make a face like wtf at the beginning and then works it out. Clark held the song together like glue and extended the intro and improved the leads. At some point They came back on. Also that second lead was improved and extended when the crowd lost it.. That's some balls right there keeping your shit together when things are going wrong and steps up and owns it like a boss that he is. Clapton wrote a note to him saying thank you. You make me want to play again.😀
That’s right... Gary Clark Jr. and Eric Gales are the only ones bringing this kind of sound to a new generation of listeners... thank God they continue putting out real music and playing from a place in their soul!
hang in there rachel. i know how you feel i my fathers been gone 3 years and it still hurts. we played guitar together whenever we got the chance. it has gotten a little easier. just remember he'll always be with you.
Hey!! Just read your post but it either seems your heading for something or your going to do something... I know (and I know it sounds clithe) but he wouldn't want you to do anything silly!! I lost my sister about 13 years ago and we were best friend in fact whilst she ill I made her promise me to never leave me alone in this fuckin world but she did!! It broke me more than you can Imagine... But you take each day as it comes good or bad and you soldier on!! and over time you realise life is beautiful with them or without them but they are ALWAYS ALWAYS with you!! Hope I'm not speaking out line or this post is way too late but hope it helps even just a little.....peace
I find Gary Clark Jr to be MUCH better live than any studio version i've heard of any of his songs. Go look up When my train pulls in @ Jam in the Van!
I remember Gary Clark jr, his parents and my family went to the same church.,Austin Tx. I also remember when he played downtown Austin on 6th street..Gary Jr .know how to play that Guitar!! I also loved him in the movie "Honeydripper".
Josh dM Are you referring to the pedal? Yeah....they used wah pedals a LOT in the seventies...that was part of why it hit my ear that way. But he's got a dedication to sixties type blues, too. It's all good.
This is how the Legends are born. No one knows who you are. You get out on that stage. Blow the livin' soul out that guitar... And everyone knows your name!!
hello de la belgique 52 ans mais enfin de la bonne music ça réveille nos oreilles et l'envie de mooverrr et d'apprendre à cette pauvre jeunesse la vrai zik
I love when they do a close up on Gary's face like at 4:45. You can see a reflection on his sunglasses that shows you what it must look like from his perspective.
"brand shit" lol If you go with a brand like Ray-Ban, you buy quality and glasses that actually protect your eyes, unlike the ones at Walmart. They will last you a lifetime if you take care of them properly. I use Aviators that are around 30 years old, I just had to change the nose pads 10 years ago because I lost one somehow. I agree that a brand name is not a guarantee of quality, but for some brands it is.
I was watching Clapton's Crossroads Fest on TV, and was getting bored. Until Gary came on the TV. Holy... who's that?! OMG, he's wonderful. So happy to hear the Blues is still alive.
Perhaps, although i saw him live for the 2nd time yesterday (as special guest to Guns n Roses in Groningen), there were quite a few people amazed by his performance. Definitely a living legend.
Gary is awesome! he proves that u don't have to be a ridiculous shredder or a technical genius to be considered a guitar heavy weight. you just need the passion. to me that beats all the technical skill in the world
+chad singleton hey could you elaborate? I am in the early stages of learning guitar and to me it obviously looks like he is basically as good as you get. By technical skill are you referring to the solo/riffs he plays, are they considered simple?
+dudemanismadcool he means like he's kinda anchored into the minor pentatonic scale which is the first thing most people learn (towards soloing) like he's not doing some crazy stuff like Clapton where he jumps all over the neck and merges scales and triads. He kinda hangs out in one shape for the most part.
Jacob Huddleston ah I get ya thanks for the explanation, what is your opinion on John Mayer? I know he is very good but would you consider him a technical master of guitar? Will have to check out some Clapton.
+dudemanismadcool John Mayer is one of the better guitarists of the modern generation. He's really technical and I personally like melodic solos, like Mayer plays, those are the kind of solos you'll end up humming while your going about your day. Mayer is pretty complex with some of the stuff he plays, a lot of the time (at least for me) I'll have to rewind a video a few hundred times to figure out what exactly he's doing.
Will Buddhu maybe you’re just listening to the wrong edm haha. I love from edm to classical and everywhere in between. Check out griz, the floozies, sts9, beats antique, gramatik, tipper ambergris. You’ll enjoy something
He's right! I know his name now. GARY CLARK JR. Thank You Jesus, someone stood up and played that Funky Music again. "Blues" and "Balls" are back in Rock & Roll.
I love how this song just drives the hell out of a minor. literally one chord the entire time lol. I love how they embrace the effectiveness of simplicity and focus on tones, emotions, the overall vibe/feel of the song, etc. It's an honest display of discipline and maturity when musicians demonstrate how less is more. very tasteful!
Great analysis! ...The one chord wrapped in road-base with speed bumps covered in velvet. Building and falling intensity. If music teachers want to get kids into music of all genres, this should be one of the pieces they turn the kids onto. He's straight, cool and genuine ... looking forward to seeing him age over the years

#GARYCLARKJR #BRIGHTLIGHTS Gary is outstanding. He speaks with his guitar. What an extraordinary performance by this young guitarist. It was obvious from the beginning that he was a rare talent. This performance is a true gem 😄👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎸🎷🥁🪘🎹🎸💖💚❤️❤️🧡💜💙🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇨🇱
Gary Clark Jr is off the hook, his concert at Lollapalooza was over the top and soo jammed. This guy arrived awhile ago! Welcome you all who are new to him! Glad you finally found him. Trying to get tix to a concert in May, barely any tic left at Red Rocks in Colorado!
I've listened to this dozens of times and I'm nowhere near tired of it. This is just a piece of smokin' guitar. As for all the comparisons....who gives a shit who some person you've never met compares Gary Clark to someone like Hendrix.Or SRV, or whoever. Just appreciate GC Jr for who he is and how he plays.
this tune NEVER fails to put hair up on my arms after like 12 million listens to .. looove this man his style his tone thank you god for gary clark jr in this age of music made by general motors and cheez wiz ..
Saw him live... I've been to quite a few concerts in my time and Gary is one of the few artist that I've completely gone out of my body while listening to someone play live.
One of the GREATEST "LIVE" recordings......ever..... YOU caught Lightening in a bottle Gary. And Doyle just has that missing ingredient, and the dual drummers..........BRILLIANT!!!!!!
Check out some of the background notes put out by Doyle Bramhall II, (in the yellow T.) He has also backed up Clapton, and deserves greater recognition.
This live performance of Bright lights is for me the best one from far!!! All the band is making an outstanding musical performance, each one of them are pure talents, thanks to you all guys!!! 👏👏👏
#GARYCLARKJR #BRIGHTLIGHTS You say alot with your guitar. And, I like everything you are saying. You are a brilliant guitarist young man. A true pleasure to listen to. Jam on brother from another mother !!! 😄👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎸🎷🎺🎹🥁🎸💚🧡🧡💖💙❤️💜🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇨🇱
Still here. This song is why I love the blues: none of the parts are complicated, but all of them are important, and if you aren't doing them right all at once, it doesn't work. But when it DOES work, you just drill directly to the brainstem and stick in there forever.
I've been in love with guitars and the playing of them for over 50 years. I can play most anything I hear, and that's a bunch. Gary blows me away kinda like Terry Kath of Chicago. Just scratch your head and enjoy the sound because you will not figure it out.

Whoa……
Agree...

You're right, I took a screenshot of it when I first saw it.
Couldn't agree more
The shot of the crowd through those aviators goes HARD.
Yes! as I watched that shot I thought, I hope he has that image hanging in his home
that would make a great album cover
I don't think i'll ever forget it tbh. Not that i was there, but it's just a very cool shot, even after seeing the video dozens of times ;)
I listen to this every so often as the performance isn't exactly the same sound as it is on the Crossroads Album. This is the first time I noticed the crowd reflected in the sunglasses. What awesome photography! Doyle Bramhall Ii is great on this too.
Reminds me Jimmy Hendrix
When they show a closeup you can see the entire crowd from the reflection in his glasses. It would make a badass album cover
Dances_ with_weed YEZZZZ!!!!
One of his album covers is pretty much what you described. It was one of his live albums I think.
I was thinking the same thing.
Exactly what i thought i was in printed and on my wall as a screen. Itd be dope
Album called "reflections"
Show some love for the whole band they sound huge!
Gary Clark Jr. is not the hero we deserve but the hero we need.

As a wise man once said, “All You Need Is Love”.
Technically, one of the best live recordings I've ever heard.
Will not argue with ya! Saw him in concert! mind *BLOWN*
Absolutely!
It is a fantastic cut, band, vocals, ax, all of it, the production would have been more crisp (wow, huh, pretty crisp as is) if they used the new 803PC-6 system, as it separates all instruments by setting and ranges as well... be in the storm, watch the storm -be the storm.

Granulated haha what. not even close. his solo is really sloppy and repetitive. i mean its groovy, but not at all technically sound.
I was talking about the quality of the live recording, not his skill level
No body notice the fact that at 3:30 the guy in the Yellow tshirts was supposed to play his solo but due to technical difficulty there was no sound and he says it in Gary's ear and Gary improvises for the rest of the song ,LIVE, mind-blowing
The man in the yellow tee shirt is Doyle Bramhall II.
@@julieb8156 and he's one of the handful of people playing on a right handed guitar with his left hand! :)
He wasn't, if you know the progression of the song, garys continued solo isnt improvised, it ran exactly as it should have.

Just discovered this guy today & I'm hooked.
Me too. Im living inside this video since this day
Welcome to the jungle.
Welcome to the future of blues, I only discovered him 2 years ago and so glad I did unfortunately with the current restrictions not likely to see him play anytime soon.
I'm really jealous of you now.
Me too. I just randomly stumbled upon it
That close up shot of him at the mic and the reflection of the crowd in his shades at 2:20 is awesome
AGREED!!!
AGREED!!!!!
AGREED!!!!!!
Ikr!! that's awesome!
This solo is probably one of the best i've heard in a long long time. Gary is a freaking beast, too much wind and swagger
Check out the cover of have a cigar by the main squeeze.

I circle back to this performance every once in a while to get my face rocked clean off. Musicianship, sound crew and camera work all FIRE.
Same! It blows me away EVERYTIME!

I was wondering why the other player was talking in his ear. Cool story!
"yellow shirt guy" is Doyle Bramhall. Hah. Only maybe the best living guitar player.
Really? Wow, THAT'S cool!!! Wasn't Doyle Bramhall the guy who told him Clapton wanted him to play the festival?
Yes.
This guy is the savior for modern blues.
Not when Marcus King is alive.
That’s right... Gary Clark Jr. and Eric Gales are the only ones bringing this kind of sound to a new generation of listeners... thank God they continue putting out real music and playing from a place in their soul!
Now I’ve gotta find this Marcus King! Thanks for turning me on!
Marcus King has got a complete different style.
Neither GCJR or Marcus King are blues though. They aren’t going to save the blues. But at least Gary can sing. Marcus King sounds like a dying goat.
Freakin amazing! What a talent! The awards shows are filled with crap artists! Put this man on stage at the Grammys!!!🎉🎉🎉
I had about 11 or 12 yo when i found this Crossroads DVD on a music store. Watched it for years.
My dad got me into Gary Clark jr. He passed 4 months ago and I get to see him next Friday for the first time. It’s kind of bittersweet
hang in there rachel. i know how you feel i my fathers been gone 3 years and it still hurts. we played guitar together whenever we got the chance. it has gotten a little easier. just remember he'll always be with you.
Rock out with Gary! RIP to ur dad who knew music

I feel your pain missy, but I envy you at the same time
I'm really sorry for your loss.
Clapton stated that Gary Clark Jr. would carry on great guitar playing for generations...I agree ! this is smokin'
Susan Reed Clapton should know. I've been lov"n Clark's music since saw him on Austin City last year or so.
Susan Reed when Clapton says you're one of the best...youre one of the best
Clapton is getting close to dementia.
Madhu Dason Your comment made my day, thanks a lot I lol’d
Is funny, the guitarist in the yellow shirt, Doyle Bramhall, worked together with Clapton on multiple albums, 'Sessions for Robert J' being one
This live performance is so much better than studio version......WOW!
Yeah that record was stripped of vibe.. sad..
Sooo much better. I listened to the studio version once. Never again
I prefer his live stuff. Especially Blak & Blu live.
I find Gary Clark Jr to be MUCH better live than any studio version i've heard of any of his songs. Go look up When my train pulls in @ Jam in the Van!

+lolttyl143
nod to the seventies :-)
+blondwiththewind *sixties
Josh dM Could be....sounds like the seventies to me.
+blondwiththewind Because the fuzz face has been designed in 1965 and overused since Hendrix made in popular
Josh dM Are you referring to the pedal? Yeah....they used wah pedals a LOT in the seventies...that was part of why it hit my ear that way. But he's got a dedication to sixties type blues, too. It's all good.
It's guys like Gary Clark that have helped me to break free from the boredom of main stream music!
69ragster right on
Try Rage Against The Machine instead ;) I promisse you will not feel bored! :P
Listen to Junior Kimbrough... The Rolling Stones went to his juke joint in Mississippi to hear him...
He was taught before mainstream music. The Best artists stick to them blues! Its that DEEP!

Ya gotta admit the entire line up is what makes this work. Doyle adds alot
This is how the Legends are born.

Glad to hear that you youngsters are enjoying this style of music !!! I just discovered Clark....I'm 72 !!!
I can't get enough of it, I'm glad that guys like him can make a living amidst the EDM bullshit that my generation cherishes
F Mat I found him a few years back listening to the mix of Black Keys on Pandora radio...who the hell is the Black Keys?

watching Gary is like a lesson on how to be confortable with the guitar, pure talent
checkout "The BOTS"
Pure talent indeed. It's obviously a gift. He's probably related to royalty somewhere along his ancestry.
I will never forget this performance! It was hotttt, humid and we were getting tired until this livened everyone up!
That part around 2:20 where the lyrics goes "You gonna know my name" while seeing reflection of the crowd in the sunglasses is deep! :)
I just CANNOT stop listening to this guy. Amazing!!
That solo has to be one of the best I've ever heard. The band is ridiculously tight as well, wish I could have been there.
At 4:34 when he transitions and the crowd has to snap out of it like oh shit we just got our faces melted better holler for it
He's right! I know his name now. GARY CLARK JR.
Thank You Jesus, someone stood up and played that Funky Music again. "Blues" and "Balls" are back in Rock & Roll.
And just hear that humble "Thank You". I thank you Mr. Clark
This is probably one of the best live performances I've ever seen. Gary Clark Jr. is a legend on the guitar.
Love the Reflection of the Crowd in, Gary’s Aviators in this video. Rippin’ Chords, the way Rock and Roll was meant to look and sound.
Good Stuff!
I love how this song just drives the hell out of a minor. literally one chord the entire time lol. I love how they embrace the effectiveness of simplicity and focus on tones, emotions, the overall vibe/feel of the song, etc. It's an honest display of discipline and maturity when musicians demonstrate how less is more. very tasteful!
Great analysis! ...The one chord wrapped in road-base with speed bumps covered in velvet. Building and falling intensity. If music teachers want to get kids into music of all genres, this should be one of the pieces they turn the kids onto. He's straight, cool and genuine ... looking forward to seeing him age over the years
Cathy Campbell I so agree....
Smooth
There are chord changes throughout the entire song
Can't wait to see him in a few months at Beak & Skiff in Lafayette, NY. This dude is awesome
Probably the most underrated musician in recent time! True heart and soul!
Gary Clark Jr is the epitome of American music!
The people disliking this are the same ones buying all the pasta and toilet roll in 2020.
👏🤣👏🔥

ab-so-fucking-lutely, cheers to that.
I found this a little generic but I'm still going to check out more of his stuff to make up my mind. Didn't dislike this and also didn't hoard TP and pasta so yeah there must be a connection. lol!
Amen!
This performance and the John Mayer trio's performance of ain't no sunshine at the same festival are my two favorite live performances of all time.
100% agree
#GARYCLARKJR #BRIGHTLIGHTS Gary is outstanding. He speaks with his guitar. What an extraordinary performance by this young guitarist. It was obvious from the beginning that he was a rare talent. This performance is a true gem 😄👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎸🎷🥁🪘🎹🎸💖💚❤️❤️🧡💜💙🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇨🇱
Gary Clark Jr is off the hook, his concert at Lollapalooza was over the top and soo jammed. This guy arrived awhile ago! Welcome you all who are new to him! Glad you finally found him. Trying to get tix to a concert in May, barely any tic left at Red Rocks in Colorado!
Going to see him in Connecticut at Sound on Sound festival
My sister just turned me on to this song... man o man! What a jam.. not to mention Gary Clark Jr is frickin beautiful.. what a voice!!!
I've listened to this dozens of times and I'm nowhere near tired of it. This is just a piece of smokin' guitar. As for all the comparisons....who gives a shit who some person you've never met compares Gary Clark to someone like Hendrix.Or SRV, or whoever. Just appreciate GC Jr for who he is and how he plays.
love you brother
I know this is late lmao but I couldn't have said it better
Omg Me!
That's straight up Bob Kaufman. I like a lot of different musicians and I don't really care really at all, what anybody else thinks about them.
To each his own. he does Clark very well.
this tune NEVER fails to put hair up on my arms after like 12 million listens to .. looove this man his style his tone thank you god for gary clark jr in this age of music made by general motors and cheez wiz ..
Hes uh pretty fuckin great!..😎

Saw him live... I've been to quite a few concerts in my time and Gary is one of the few artist that I've completely gone out of my body while listening to someone play live.
Me toi
Same
Good thing he wasn't dead
the crowd in his glasses was a great shot
Holy smokes , that's a sound that grabs your spine .
I love this riff. So heavy, just the right amount of crunch, and then the fuzz licks interspersed...
Pls Translate your Slang☺
Gary and his band are underrated big time he has alot of good music. Love thier style it has a little bit of everything in it
Got to see him as an opening act for Lauryn Hill, loved his performance more than hers 😂😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
SRV be watchin from heaven with pride and joy ...cheers ....
imho this is the awesomest version of this song. So good. everyone in the groove
I think I’m like... the only person in my high school that enjoys this style of music, actually, any style of music. I love this
Keep your heart and mind open,hopefully you will have good teachers,don't look around in high school,look forward,you are in the age of discovery 🌎

One of the GREATEST "LIVE" recordings......ever..... YOU caught Lightening in a bottle Gary. And Doyle just has that missing ingredient, and the dual drummers..........BRILLIANT!!!!!!
This man is incredible. I just learned his name the other day and I'm making it my mission to make a few others know his name
It's great to see the brothers rocking again.
They never stopped bro
@@BirrDetonator1989 your write but too much rap and not enough soul spiritual like blues,jazz,rock.
Check out some of the background notes put out by Doyle Bramhall II, (in the yellow T.) He has also backed up Clapton, and deserves greater recognition.
Dude, the way they ended that song was so perfect, and not on the usual place most bands try to end a blues song, at least to what it sounded like.
WOW, there still is hope for hearing music that is literally levels above the mainstream, corporate crap thats repeated over, over...
Was asked my favorites songs ever..
Jeez..
This song would be top ten...ever!
Merci CrossroadsGuitar via Gaey Clark Jr 💖🎼
This live performance of Bright lights is for me the best one from far!!! All the band is making an outstanding musical performance, each one of them are pure talents, thanks to you all guys!!! 👏👏👏
Having Doyle Bramhall II in the line-up doesn't hurt either. Another great player
I keep coming back for this again and again.
I do to
One of my FAVORITE songs forever. Please, please come to D.C/VA/MD area. It would be a gift from the Lord! : )
Best version
That bass player's got it going on!
God is blessing me today with a lot of music I like.
#GARYCLARKJR #BRIGHTLIGHTS You say alot with your guitar. And, I like everything you are saying. You are a brilliant guitarist young man. A true pleasure to listen to. Jam on brother from another mother !!! 😄👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎸🎷🎺🎹🥁🎸💚🧡🧡💖💙❤️💜🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇨🇱
cornel west and joe rogan brought me here, and had a great time
me too :D
same loved it, never heard of him
Same same
you are not alone
same
The entire song is almost just one chord the whole time... this is incredible. Let it go to your head, Gary🤩
Still here. This song is why I love the blues: none of the parts are complicated, but all of them are important, and if you aren't doing them right all at once, it doesn't work. But when it DOES work, you just drill directly to the brainstem and stick in there forever.
I've been in love with guitars and the playing of them for over 50 years. I can play most anything I hear, and that's a bunch. Gary blows me away kinda like Terry Kath of Chicago. Just scratch your head and enjoy the sound because you will not figure it out.
