This is “Real” music…the rest is a consequence…

Awesome, Not that it matters but has Ry got a lazy or even a glass eye???
this one never fails to cheer me up
Wow. What a band! That’s Flaco Jimenez on accordion, certainly one of the great accordion players of all time. Not to mention Jim Keltner and Van Dyke Parks…
I love ‘ how can a poor man..” and ‘Irene goodnight’ but this guitar solo beats it!!
Somebody should put the entire film in a torrent..
They were gonna put him in the Stones but he turned ‘em down!
Get to see Ry whenever you can, he’s very special, a guitarists guitarist. I’ve seen good session men who cannot play his stuff, too difficult.
I don’t know this band But i like the song!! It’s DELICIOUS
the moulah banda and chcken skin bands where the best bands in the world all down to cooder and his amzing mates
just love this stuff
jammin with edward dudes and dudesees, with mick, long time ago in a dazed ergot of orange sunshine at laguna from nam bitch
Absolutely superb! After listening to him for nearly 40 years, I am off to see him for the first time and Nick Lowe in Brisbane Queensland Australia on 21/11/09. Can’t wait!!
totally blown out dudes and dudesses
Willie Green’s ‘SWEETWATER’ Mill Valley cap is THE BEST!!! I lived there from ‘73-’81… Super place during the hippy times!! Now, 17 years in Kiev… Biden said we have the best women last week… It’s why all the ‘rock’ groups come for a visit!! Including Ry…
so strange I’ve heard his music for years but I’ve never seen him before–he’s good
Ry, an American Treasure.
I didn’t watch the support – sat in the foyer reading The Great Gatsby! Heard a couple of people saying they weren’t up to much though. VM was great, you’re right – he seemed to do a Dylan on his songs, in that I didn’t recognise them until about two minutes in! One of the gigs of the year.
I was there too! I thought Vigilante Man was just perfect. I didn’t think much of the support band though…
I saw him last night in Liverpool (UK). An absolutely amazing gig, and I don’t say that about every show I go to. Nick Lowe was aiding and abetting him, and Ry was on incredible form, vocally and especially on guitar. Doesn’t get around as quickly as he used to, apart from on that fretboard.
They’ve been playing Ry Cooder a lot on XM50 “The Loft” recently. My musician friend tells me he’s one of the great musicians. I’m surprised more people haven’t heard of him. Great stuff!
Man oh man, that is so slick! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video!!
The only musician “missing” is David Lindley (and HIS new shoes).
Give yourself`s a treat ,and go see him in concert just the best
