I'm sad I only found this song just now but I'm glad I got to listen to this. Got here after listening to Toshiki Kadomatsu's Weekend Fly to the Sun album.
Great song written by the amazing ERIC TAGG who also sang the original with Ritenour, David Foster praised Tagg for this ballad and his awesome soulful singing on the tune. Nice
Real life musicians right there kids!!!! Never be another time like the 70's/80's west coast AOR , jazz, soul, r&b sound. RIP Mr Vega. He was a one of a kind drummer.
I remember watching this video for the first time many years ago. During these years, it was difficult to find any rock, blues, jazz or even metal videos in Bulgaria. I was captured by his unique style, not exactly a rock guitarist, not too jazzy, very much Rit :))) The second thing was the voice of Phil, one of the sweetest male voices ever.
Carlos Vega can really channel Jeff’s feel in any songs that Jeff played. And I notice that a lot of songs that Jeff’s recorded in studio, Carlos Vega was the player in live versions. And he (carlos) play it like the studio version.
Was it the synth player? He was definitely playing the bassline at the intro and during his little break. UPDATE: Nah, probably not. Heard a couple passages that definitely sounded like an actual bass.
Fabulous players. But if you play a 12/8 syncopated strut at that tempo, you got yourself a swing shuffle with a walking bass. That's how I know it's too fast. Check the Porcaro and Hungate version on RIT
@@erictagg1599 I’ve listened to that album probably 100 times in the past four years, it’s one of my favorites, and you are incredibly talented. Hunsgste and Porcaro are excellent as you mentioned! Thank you again for your wonderful compositions and music.
FAVOURITE VERSION. THIS WHOLE SHOW IN JAPAN. M O V E S. THIS BAND. WAS SOLID P.SL. LEE EVER GO TO CANADA. ?P.P.S. 335 Gibson. Semi hollow where it bites. LEE SOLOS. FLY!
All one needs to know about the voice of Phil Perry is personified in Lee's response to Phil.... Start at 3:00-great solo: you see Rit cue Phil at about 3:15 and watch Lee's response! Priceless!!
@Theri48 i honestly don,t know other than what i said in my previous comment! it was on the abracadabra album by miller that i became aware of john. then when he sang on the ritenour album banded together in 84' i realised who he was .he sang on the tracks Mandela and operator(thief on the line) great album! still available.
@Theri48 i think people prefer the eric tagg version,but this is great with phil perry and john massaro on vocals and cowbell(from the steve miller band) .rit is awesome one of my favourites along with lukather,carlton ,graydon and parks!
This is just one of those videos/songs/genres where I can appreciate the exquisite musicianship, but cannot stand the song. I'm sure there are better examples of that phenomena, but this is a good one.

Never to be forgotten for their pure talent AND obvious enthusiasm. Where has ‘musicianship’ gone???
Phil Perry, what a voice!
I grew up listening to him sing along with Ron Kenoly on the album "God is able".
Great song written by the amazing ERIC TAGG who also sang the original with Ritenour, David Foster praised Tagg for this ballad and his awesome soulful singing on the tune. Nice

Underrated song. Great rendition
Jimmy Johnson on bass.....great stuff. Carlos Vega on drums.. RIP.

Barnaby Finch on keys is just great. Played with Lee for a long time. Underrated imo!
The Great Jimmy Johnson on Bass - sweet !!
Smoking guitar work by the Rit. Great vocals too.

UPDATE: Nah, probably not. Heard a couple passages that definitely sounded like an actual bass.
@@finnsterling6514 Yes actual Bass
that solo is clean and flawless.....
As is most of Lee's playing.
Guau, guau guau no me canso de escucharlos, si pudiera pedir un deseo sería estar en ese concierto...después puedo morir de felicidad!!!
i love how happy he looks
I have this whole concert on DVD. It’s impossible to find.
Enjoyed playing this with a great band... TRACE
The speed of this live version reminds me of movie That Thing You Do, when the drummer accidentally speeds up the song. this is awesome!
they are playing this REALLY REALLY fast!!!
Hat Off to all these guys..Pure talent...gathered in obe Great Band
Anyones else computer overheat during that solo? smokin!
Live awesome !Phil Perry killer !
The superb Mr Vega keeping perfect time as always.
I actually like this uptempo version led by the great Phil Perry! All terrific musicians.
Fabulous players. But if you play a 12/8 syncopated strut at that tempo, you got yourself a swing shuffle with a walking bass. That's how I know it's too fast. Check the Porcaro and Hungate version on RIT

So sorry that Carlos Vega has passed away so young and plentiful od talent !!! RIP

Nice job Phil
I’m gonna learn that bass line for sure
Love to guitar solo. Better than the studio version. That's the thing I like about Ritenour
Carlos Vega must be the most underrated drummer of our time people. Legend.
Carlos wasn´t underrated. Everybody knew he was a great drummer.
Jimmy Johnson, ultimate BASSKING!
Completely awesome!
This is amazing !
Lee Ritenour WOULD make a good metal guitarist!!
The late Carlos Vega was amazing!
@Theri48 i honestly don,t know other than what i said in my previous comment! it was on the abracadabra album by miller that i became aware of john. then when he sang on the ritenour album banded together in 84' i realised who he was .he sang on the tracks Mandela and operator(thief on the line) great album! still available.
@costalitoshow - Jimmy Johnson. Kickass bassist!!!
@Hawk44Gent
this is a from a live-dvd which you can buy... so get it and enjoy the whole concert ;-)
great performance!!!!!!!
Mr. Ritneour forgot to increase his volume at 1:11 XD
Thanks! :)
@Theri48 i think people prefer the eric tagg version,but this is great with phil perry and john massaro on vocals and cowbell(from the steve miller band) .rit is awesome one of my favourites along with lukather,carlton ,graydon and parks!
Jimmy Johnson, wooooow, the be(a)st!
Looks like Steve Porcaro on keys. Carlos Vega in traps!!!
maybe Steve Porcaro
It looks nothing like steve porcaro. It's Barnaby Finch
@@bernardoconnor5512 I think you are Right - Barnaby Finch!
holy shit is that Jeff Porcaro on the keys?!
No, the great Barnaby Finch
Thought exactly the same ;)
i was thinking that instantly lol
Where's Eric Tagg??
Don´t know. But here he´s the one singing the 2nd vocals.
Awesome voice, I love the 2 albums he did with Lee
What does he keep in that briefcase?...Cocaine. LOTS of Cocaine. God I miss the 80s.
歌ってる表情が素晴らしい
Nice, but looks like video could have some "string sync" issues :)
Highly recommend the Live at the Coconut Grove concert.
So good🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🍾🥳💝👍💖

This is just one of those videos/songs/genres where I can appreciate the exquisite musicianship, but cannot stand the song. I'm sure there are better examples of that phenomena, but this is a good one.
