That’s the way to go, Larry…

What a great musician! I had the great honor to build the guitar that Larry is playing here. Larry became a very good friend over the years and it was always amazing to hear him play. It‘s been a few years now but I still miss him like crazy.

I was devistated hearng about it. I had him as a mentor/teacher. Kind soul and willing to share his knowledge. I still ponder the cause of death. R.I.P. Larry. Godfather of Fusion.

Amazing plating tone on a tele or tele like guitar

Saw LC a million yrs ago in an intimate little venue in Raleigh, NC with a good friend and excellent guitarist in his own right. We sat like 10 feet from him. It was like he was playing in our living room. Will never forget it. RIP Larry. You are missed.

Ultimate respect. Killing on the stage till the end.

One of the greatest guitarists of all time

OMG! I had no idea !! I loved Beautiful Woman!!! and Sex from his earlier albums!

Sweet Dude!

A great musician!

🌱🌸💛😃

Fantastic! I was introduced to Larry's music (The Jam w/Albert) by a friend while driving in his '59 healy back in early 70's. I later saw Larry perform at Franklin & Marshall College (Lancaster,PA) and later at The Main Point (Bryn Mawr, PA). I have 12 of Larry's vinyl albums! Where can I find this entire performance of Larry on 2/18/17? Many, many, thanks!

R.I.P.

Mold? That shit’s naaaasty!

Play the hell on Larry!!

i always looked for material, albums by larry, i remember i knew him on video concert with de lucia and mclaughlin, then the album spaces that began so pop among my fusion and jazz listening

Hearing his music reminds me of some fine moments in my personal life..playing guitar living my best life..seventh house and spaces are my favorites..nothing but good memories..

Larry GENIUS¡¡¡

Great musician sad to think he passed away same day...RIP

🎶"My calling on this planet is to be a searcher, in search of something new. But I won't be disappointed if on the day I die I don't find it -- at least I'll be searching."- Larry Coryell 🎶

Interesting how he moved from a huge Gibson jazz box back in the day to a Tele-style instrument at the end. Just shows you can play good jazzy stuff on almost any guitar. RIP Larry.

Spaces album still ahead of its time!!!

Sad loss of creative everything.

Larry was an ambassador of jazz, and he never tired of new fascinations.

Spaces blew my mind. I was 21 in 71 playing rock and roll and a little jazz. A drummer friend and prolific album buyer turned me on to it. My reaction was WTFn H are they playing and how is it possible. I had the vinyl, a cassette, and CD and now of course just digital in iTunes. RIP Larry and thanks for the ride. Hope we can jam in the "great unknown".

this fills me with sadness...I was fortunate to take a lesson from Larry back in 2010, I believe, and then to get to know him subsequently and - the best musical night of my life! - to open for him at Hugh's Room in Toronto in 2012. Larry was even gracious enough to invite me on stage to play a tune with him...what an incredible honor. What many people may not know is that Larry was not just a genius player but also a very modest and self-effacing guy and a man who loved life: loved a good meal and a good joke and had a mountain of fantastic stories from his life in jazz. RIP Larry Coryell. One of the true greats!

Beast mode till the end! May the Creator enjoy your licks now

Thanks for sharing this amazing footage! Sounds great! Thank you! RIP Larry

RIP. I learned a lot from him.

Thank you for sharing this video.

I didn't know. I met him once and begged him to give my son a lesson in Minneapolis. He was all for it. I think he was overlooked as a composer, esp in the early days. Oh, now I miss him.

Larry was a sensational guitarist and an all great! RIP!

Larry put his own stamp on whatever he played.

Dear Lord, I just found out that the one and only just died, after this great performance. That is the wonder of sheet music and after that came sound recording, which allows the best part of this man to live on. Thank God we still have some geniuses in the pipeline, John McLaughlin, Joe Satriani, Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Robert Fripp, Alex Lifeson, and of course Bill Nelson. I left out Carlos Santana, Alan Holdsworth, Eric Clapton. Larry, I just got busy and didn't listen to you for almost 40 years, and I used to go on jaunts into the stratosphere with you almost ever day.. I was thinking about one of your old riffs from "Barefoot Boy" this morning, went here to listen again, and found out you were gone. That is how life occurs, and now you are gone. I pray that you found out who God is, and will be playing the best guitar you ever saw when finally we meet.

i didnt know, i was a huge fan. met him at a barnes and noble for cd signing about 15 years ago. i told him my favorite album was back together again. he seemed kinda surprised for some reason. he played his cherished gibson l5, i sat on the floor about 6 feet away. what a guitar spirit.

I will miss you daddy. ><

what ?? larry passed away ??

I saw Larry play in Cork last November (11th House). Twas max volume fusion (with Joey de Francesco & Julian Coryell though Alphonse Mouzon was too ill to attend) and I enjoyed it, but especially enjoyed seeing Larry to do his acoustic solo "Bolero" in concert (mid-set). I think I actually like his acoustic playing best (first time hearing him was the Super Guitar Trio dvd, and I think I liked his fun-loving playing best). I had brought a copy of a 'dragon gate' cd sleeve with me and asked before the gig 'any chance of signings after?' and I was told 'yeah, sure'. But Larry was still playing when I had to leave for a last bus, so I had to go 'excuse me, excuse me' out of my theatre row and, as I was doing so, I looked up at the stage and Larry (who was comping between solos, waiting for his next spot) was looking at me the whole time and possibly slightly bemused at the awkwardness of my situation. Ah well. I would have liked to got to talk to him after the show (missed a show he did in Dublin before...and never did see him play before last November), but the abiding memory is of an enjoyable gig that kinda confirmed to me that a) Coryell could play anything, and b) he's a genial soul who just loves to play. That gave the concert an almost party-like atmosphere: nothing like other "fusion" gigs I was at years ago (like Al DiMeola or John McLaughlin's Fourth Dimension). I have a handful of Larry's records...and there's bits of brilliance scattered over them, and as I'm sure there'd be in all the rest of them (100 plus, I think!), amidst not so memorable stuff...but, in concert, as an improviser, it seems he was always in his element. 'Spaces Revisited' and 'Tricycles' were two I meant to get about ten years back, but never did. Maybe now's the time. Cheers for (or to?) the erratic genius that was Larry Coryell (RIP). It wouldn't surprise me if he's still improvising endlessly...somewhere....and, more importantly, truly enjoying himself while doing so too!

RIP Larry Coryell....

So glad you posted this! He was a friend as well from back when he did the tour with Trilok and Andy Summers, and I was shocked to hear the sad news the next day! I would have been there that night had I been in NYC. Hope Tracy got to see this, but then I'm sure you sent it to her 1st! We'll all miss him!

That's the riff from "In a Silent Way" toward the end...

I never had the honor of seeing him play. I was going to see him for the first time next month. RIP and condolences to friends and family. Such a gift to humanity.

I'm, really shocked to hear Larry has passed away. He was one of the true greats of fusion. I had the privilege of seeing him perform in Cornwall a few years ago. RIP Larry

He played my club in SLC UT IN 1987 A TRUE hero and gentleman - Carpe Diem LC

I’m in shock...........over this. I remember picking Larry up at the airport for a gig I was to dropped him off at the Hotel. I did this for the owner of the club. When I got out to get his guitars……he said forget it just bring to the club tomorrow…. So I went home with 5 of Larry’s guitars…..that night…….it was very cold that night Didn’t want to leave in the car…..took them in and check them out, saw him the next day at the club……..funny…..event. Im very sad over this...

I am so, so glad that this last performance, in every sense of the word, his ULTIMATE performance, was documented. This is so good, so accomplished, it's STUPID. Jimi Hendrix meets John McLaughlin... ...except that he preceded them both by a year or two. He put on this performance, this amazing execution of his art, at the Iridium, the House that Les Paul Built (how effing beautiful is THAT?) and then passed away, peacefully in his sleep, a few hours later: An inspiration to guitar players everywhere... ...and there are a plethora of worse ways to go. RIP.

Farewell Larry ! Your music will live on forever ....

This is hard to watch. He looked fine and he was playing great. Man...

Thanks for posting, I've been a dedicated fan of Larry's ever since I listened to Offering around 1970, always looked forward to his newest project. I will miss his music very much.
