Saw him at the cubby bear in Chicago during a horrendous snowstorm so only 50 people were there and he signed some cassettes for me. He didn’t care that not many people were there because of the storm. He went onstage and played magnificently like it was for thousands. It was one of my favorite concerts of all time. RIP Hiram I will never forget you or your music.
1997 Trondheim. His gig still is the absolute best of all I've ever seen. There are so many other top great players and I've heard so many extraordinary concerts. But his energy and joy, humor and natural flow was something else. I have never had so much fun listening a gig and enjoying pure skill at the same time. That energy and experience still just makes me smile wide and laugh. And will never fade. Feel very privileged to have a chance to carry that memory through life and still feel that energy lifting me up.
hiram and his band here. Theres really no words for this its just pure musical goodness. He's like a kid in a candystore just having the time of his life seamlessly blending blues rock jazz all of it. The amount of personality....Character...undiluted embrace of man and music. Hiram's lil dancing and just how he really gets into is just purely coming from within. Seeing him and sanborn and george duke and all those guys play is just humans in their most elemental musical natrual habitat. It's like having a friend over playing a tune for you. I hope to see more musicians in this way playing today
Saw him and David Sanborn in San Francisco in 1987 and he was litterally running around the theatre the entire concert. With a wide smile on his face. What a powerhouse!
I was/am a big Hiram fan, and had the honor to catch his act a few times at joints in the Village back in the 90's when he unpredictably danced on tables and gave his audiences our money's worth. He was truly electrifying, and one of a kind! R.I.P.
Hiram ..Steve...George Duke, Miles Davis, Kenny Kirkland, Jaco Pastorius... :-( too soon .. You ll always be there guys ! Thx Norberto for this precious video.
I saw Hiram over the years I worked at the Montreux Jazz Festival, and I was worreid about this health at this period. But I see he managed to shine, like he always did in key moments. He'll be missed.
Saw him in Germany in the 2000ies and was shocked seeing him suffering from drug abuse....been always a huge fan of him..sad to see him passing away much too early just like jaco..at least he lives on in this great concert video..tnx man..you were the best
Yes, I remember seeing him in the 2000s around he did tour to promote his Cort signature model. The groove was there but his playing is clearly in his decline, as in not as sophisticated anymore.
ive been playing guitar professionaly for 53 years and i think hiram was one of the best. i got to see him live at a namm show in nashville in the 90s and he was of course great. i did talk to steve logan who i think was a little surprised nashville dug their music so much. i head hiram tryin out amps at the matchless booth but felt too intimidated to speak. also saw danny gatton alone at the bar having a beer and was too intimidated to speak. now of course its too late. these guys are only human so if you really like someones work and you see them in person i think you will not regret speaking to them because none of us know when they or us will be gone foreer guitarcat10
I still think he did his best playing as part of the Letterman show’s house band. Both his rhythm and solo playing. I saw him play once. It was in 1977 at the uptown club called Mikell’s. He was playing with David Sanborn’s group, which was really something else.
oh this is wonderful,,,I'd heard about the bare feet...I heard him with the Breckers and Dave Sanborn on disc in the 80's but I never dreamed too hear something as beautiful as this...full of joy...havin fun and the the music!! the songs the chops ... what a great band...a perfect band...what a great great guitarist...sensational...Roberto thanks!! ...maybe when I've heard it 50 times I'll settle down a bit...thanks so much brother...Steve logan's solo!!! 2 beautiful musicians :-))))
I still can't believe he's gone. a real guitar player and musician. man, it makes me sad to think about that. all the great music he left us though. so blessed.
Hiram is one of the greatest! RIP But let's not forget the wonderful band: Steve Logan b RIP Dave Delhomme key Steven Wolf dr Too many wonderful musicians have gone too soon! Miss you guys. ❤
Look how in sync they are, performing "Angelina". Such a pleasure to watch these guys groovin'. Hearing this performance makes me remember what a special talent he was. I saw him perform at the long-gone "Front Row Theater" in Ohio, an intimate theatre in the round, running around while playing, and interacting with the audience! I loved this music era and miss it.
From wikipedia Shortly after the Atlantic albums, he recorded a few tracks from those specific sessions for a live event at the NYC-located Indigo Blues Venue, in order to eventually release it on laserdisc and CD for the commercial market in Japan.

A Truly wonderful, versatile guitarist who could play all styles of music.He produced a wonderful sound everytime he picked up a guitar, he was top draw. RIP Hiram

Check out Hiram's solo on 'Wolfman' at 46:30 and try to deny that it aint fully quintessential Hiram at his best. Whimsical, rythmic, bluesy, funky and so on time techinically that no one can ever duplicate it. This is a true slice of Hiram to me! God bless brutha! ps - Wolfman, always a guily pleasure. Corny in a late 80's way, yet inescapibly infectious & tight. I actually have the opening of the tune as my phone's ringtone. Alight, I confess, I love this tune!! : )
My Nr.1 at all! The first time I heard em didn't believe that is true. Both sound and skills. Then every concert in Moscow . He was GREAT musician! R.I.P. Hiram
RIP IRAM Bullock Je t'aime et je t'aimerai toujours mon amour je n'oublierai jamais quand on s'est rencontré le jour où tu as c'est le concert avec David Sanborn
Descobri o som desse cara quando o vi tocando com Djavan, baixei só um disco dele e ouço sempre, este é o verdadeiro som de Nova York, não tem como não ser transportado para algum lugar!
Ele faz fusion com influências da costa leste, especificamente um exemplo do verdadeiro som de Nova York e o Buzz Feiten Nile Rodgers, Easy Mo Bee, Luther Vandross e no bop o grande Bob Berg cada um no seu estilo.
Such a great guitarist, and a huge sense of FUN to go with it. Also, I love how unapologetic he was, as in, there's a lot of love for bass players and hot bass playing, that virtuosic guitar playing tends to be overlooked. Maybe this is just my paranoia as a guitar player who just tries to blend in with a band. But I just love Hiram's confidence and conviction and his general f*** it-ery
I always loved Hiram ever since I came across some of his solo albums in the late 80s/early 90s. His best solo, though, might be on Sting's cover of "Little Wing." Really nice melodic solo that moves brilliantly through the changes. I really hear a lot of Scott Henderson and Oz Noy in Hiram's playing--Henderson might have been an influence on Hiram, but Noy came too late to be an influence, so must be the other way around. Also nice to see the Arsenio-era clothes. :)
que buen violero que fue, tengo una foto sacada con Ruben Rada en Montevideo que es magistral, una de las mejores que he sacado en mi vida con cámara análoga y sin flash en el Teatro Solís...
por favor! quiero ver esa foto! Yo estuve en ese concierto! Rada, Hiram Bullock, Hugo Fattoruso, bakithi kumalo y Martín Ibarburu!! De los mejores conciertos que vi en mi vida!
Messieurs mesdames nous nous sommes rencontrés à Montreux au festival nous avons eu un un amour son meilleur ami était David Sanborn malheureusement RIP
Qui ressuscite Hiram Bullock mon amour je t'ai tellement aimé et toi aussi tu me l'as dit tu m'as écrit une chanson c'est moi Angelina je t'aimerai toujours
Saw Hiram at; Manny's Car Wash, Indigo Blues, Seventh Ave South (w/Breckers and Will Lee,,,also JACO on a few gigs! These guys cornered the jazz scene in NYC for quite some time. Monster players...I miss them all greatly! RIP Hiram, Michael Brecker, and Jaco!! The list goes on...
he also played around this time at Zanzibar and the Lone Star Cafe...I saw Miles' band at this club in Sept. of '89-it was in the basement of the Edison Hotel.
...I said it before ...and will say it again: "H.B. was truly a guitar player's guitar player." An ultra-talented musician who left us waaay too soon :-( R.I.P.
Hiram played the guitar solo on a highly underrated Steely Dan number called "My Rival." He was also the lead guitar player on an infamous song called "The Second Arrangement" which was slated to be the first single from Steely Dan's "Gaucho" record but was accidentally partially erased by an assistant engineer after tens of thousand of bucks had been spent cutting the song. You can listen to a re-recording of it right here, but it is to my understanding the redo is nowhere near as good as the original: ruclips.net/video/4FlQRmYaXiE/видео.html
My Rival was the great Steve Khan on the solo. Unmistakeable. Hiram contributed so much to every session he was on. He did provide great solos for a number of Spyro Gyra and Michael Franks tunes. And space Oddity from the Dune album from David Matthews.
I used to play with him where we grew up in Baltimore. Band named Felix
RIP MY FRIEND .
Cherish those memories buddy. How blessed you were and still are.

I saw him with David Sanborn 1987 in Stockholm, Sweden. An incredible concert is an understatement.
I used to jam with Hiram in Baltimore when he was still in high school. Was very shocked to hear of his death. Very nice guy. Great, great guitarist.

One of my all time favorites. And that killer tone through the H-S-H strat.
Great musicians and Hiran is fantastic playing guitar, singing and shaking your body
One note and you hear it’s Hiram. Few guitarists are so recognizable. Only guitarist that comes to mind is Mike Stern. They have a lot in common.
Man Hiram ... U are so missed ... !!
yes hiram is one my favorite gutarist forever thank you mr beto nauta
thanks for uploading this. Hiram in full flight.
pure gold.
Thank you for sharing this concert. :-)

We love you Hiram :)
Hiram, sonido muy original, gran tecnica,preciso y personal, me encanta su musica, grandisima perdida, Dios le bendiga...
El mejor guitarrista funky que vi en mi vida..
Este concierto de Hiram Bullock es una caña. buenísimo , que gran guitarrista
That's Dave Delhomme on keys - later went on to play keys and guitar with Ricky Minor and Paul Jackson Jr. on American Idol and the Tonight Show.
