This is my comment to you all and I can't take it no more but I hate myself for loving you but I do hate myself for loving you and we stay together but together but but we are still miles apart inside but I hate myself myself for loving you but I will be ready when my train pull in and I don't mean no harm but but God you gave me life now show me how to live because I don't know how God will you take me to places that without you I will never ever find
The reason I love this guy’s music so much isn’t because of how technical (which it is, it’s just not fast, it’s a deeper level) yet because he puts his soul into every song. When the music tempo leads to a solo you can literally see the beast within start to want out and Gary almost goes into a trance like state where all of his inner emotions are being payed out from his guitar. That’s the spiritual part of music. I feel that and if you’re not feeling the music then what’s the point. This guys seriously one of if no the best guitarist of this generation
Nothing technical about his playing. He’s a scale player. Don’t get me wrong, he’s good but not great. His vocal delivery is his greatest asset. Relies on effects way too much & dorks out a lot on the same note for too long when he takes a solo
@@stephenhanlin2388 you don’t understand his style. While metal-ish players focus on technical skills, this guys focusing on the feel the notes give. While yeah you’re right about his voice being a huge asset, his guitar is also adding onto that. Which in turn, is the basis of what the blues is. It’s all about the feel.
DON'T ASSUME I'M A RASCIST BUT I AM A SOUTH AFRICAN;THERE ARE ABSOLUTELY NO BLACK ROCK MUSICIANS HERE.SOMETIMES I ASSUME AMERICA IS ALL RAP.I WILL NEED TO OPEN MY EYES TO WHAT YOU HAVE THERE .YOU COULD SAY THIS VIDEO OPENED A GATE FOR ME TO SOMETHING I WAS IGNORANT OF.THANK YOU GARY CLARK JR.!
Study , I mean really study the roots of American music.. Once you do you won't be surprise with musicians like Mr. Gary Clark, Jr. Now, back to the music... 🎸🎤🎶📻
The blues isn't a marketable sound it's a true spirit that gives a voice to those who dont know any other way to Express pain but through sound. Its therapy ..Don't care if you disagree.... just listen
You are correct. Blues isn't marketable. Nobody is pushing that shit. Nobody can sell rock and roll these days. As much as it may be a bullshit argument, I'm holding on to Neil's faith and fortitude. Nothing can kill rock and roll. If one guy hears a tune and gets turned on, thats rock and roll.
Possibly, what he meant was that the tradition of blues music will be played by people such as, but not limited too, GC jr. I don't think Clapton means that HE is the future of blues music but maybe one person who will act in its behalf. PS. I hate Gary Clarks music and in no way or form do I think its representative of what modern blues sounds like
Good Lord this was a strait up murder scene on the guitar. A gosh darn triple homicide. He made that thing walk like, like a camel. I remember listening to this for the first time in like 2015 or something I come back here many times throughout the year, just to hear this beautiful masterpiece every time I hear it it makes me want to play the guitar and learn how to play. I don't play an instrument anymore but when I was in school I played the clarinet and the flute and I was definitely musically inclined I was able to change the music and put my own twist on things. I would usually be in my head so far ahead of the song that I could just breathe my soul into it. So I really see how this song makes you feel is because he put that feeling into his guitar in his performance. It's an unexplainable feeling when you're able to speak a language that has no words and express yourself not just through the body but with the body and the soul and the spirit simultaneously. The same feeling I get when I'm surfing or skimboarding or longboarding and I'm cutting and carving and just expressing my whole essence through my movements and through My soul and Spirit. Human beings are a mysterious and amazing part of God's creation.
jimi trower 😯 You think a lot of music theory shit is musical, its privilege punks shootin mouth off music is structured true but nobody can define the abstract of mind.He stays at 4-5 note pentatonic scale using BB box musical enough fuh ya? TRUTH yeah OK? Sunglasses necessary inside van? And the 60s' just fuckin won't lay down, suicide poster nice touch .😯
One evening when Gary Clark Jr was a teen he was with a girl and they were, of course, listening to some classic blues as they were sitting on the couch. Things started to heat up with some kissing and touching. The girl was getting into things as the guitar player started in on his solo. Her breathing was faster and she was squirming as Gary moved to second base. The guitar cried out as the girl started to make noises of her own. Gary rounded third and was about to slide into home base when.... The guitar solo ended and the mood was broken. The girl got self conscious and made an excuse to head home... the solo was too short. Gary swore in his heart that if he ever made it big he would NEVER let that happen to anyone listening to his music. And I want to say: Thank you Gary, thank you for giving us these long ass sweet love making solos that don't leave us blue balled.
Old school stuff here.....We need to own this. The over produced and polished stuff is not what we ever really hear live...This is the the real shit...damn...
Every day every might I can hear the train going down the tracks and sometimes it is almost quite for a minute and I can hear the highway , I think of another place I lived and there was lumber mill the saw blade all day all night and the trains . This is all that combined and the tracks or headed off in to outer space , I don't belong in this town anymore more than the last . I love the way they play how I feels .
w warn GCJ can make a guitar gently weeps Or can make it tell a story ....cry and sing .... you gotta be able to feel the music as it’s happening to be able to do that
I found Gary Clark Jr. by sheer accident. Saw a movie called Chef in which the characters stop their food truck in Texas and GCJ and band was playing at a restaurant/venue. I was stunned. Fantastic talent!
I can't believe how many are talking bad about this performance. What do you want? Perfection? They are human beings. This is a great tune and Gary is an amazing musician. The rest of the guys play well too. Amazing band. Great performance.
Cristian Mojica no disrespect but Stevie Ray Jimi Hendrix cream Fast is not always hitting the heart .who feels it knows it .i fully agree.respect the man.
Hello I'm still in Jackson Mississippi and I am still waiting on my train to come through and you know that I said to Sandhill you and yall don't me but God he gave me life now and show me how to live because the level that I'm on its call let lone need I say more hell to the no
Seriously RUclips, if you want someone to absolutely hate whatever product you’re hawking, put it’s ad right in the middle of a song video. That’ll do it every time.
HIS ancestors? He is a human being, and music belongs to everyone. Secondly, on a more technical point, the guitar was not invented in sub-Saharan Africa, if that's what you're signifying by his ancestors. The blues aint nothing without the guitar, baby.
@@Louis.R not to mention that people like Clapton, Page, Healey, SRV, Moore, and Bonamassa... just to name a few, have carried that torch already. It's always the race card... smh.
Quit being arrogant, i was referring to a lot of his contemporaries such as the black keys. Now i have followed the black keys for many years even seen them live a few times but dan auerbach cannot play a solo live without screwing it up even if his life depended on it
Andrew Gould Again...very limited knowledge. There are a lot of contemporary bands with guitarists that play great solos. Also, I have seen the Black Keys multiple times, and I've watched many live videos of them, and I don't think I've ever seen Dan mess up a solo. How is he screwing it up?
Andrew Gould Another thing, even if Dan or any other guitarrist hits a bad note, that doesn't "screw up" the solo, at all. And I hope you're not one of those noobs who thinks that because he plays the solo differently live than what is on the album, then he's ruining it. Solos are not meant to be scripted, they're meant to be free-flow and spawn from the moment. I really think you need to be more open-minded towards music and what music is.
Bit late to the party when it comes to liking this band, but I've only just been made aware of them via this song. Blown away by their virtuosity and authentically cool vibe. They are the real deal.
He opened for the Stones? That's big time, and what a great warm up act for them to have. I bet part of his job was to get the crowd fired up, but not upstage the old boys either. :)
Tom Howland thank god. There are enough SRVaughabees out here already and SRV just took from Albert and Otis and added crazy clothes on a white boy and a tube screamer.
My son who's 9 try to hide his soul when this came on and played for while... I asked him if he felt this tingle in him, if it was a never before felt " something ".. Told my yeah with a shy smile and head nod hahaha Told him it was okay feel that and let it known.. Such soul this has, I can't really describe the feeling
The beauty of Gary's playing is the selective riffs and the simplicity/synchronicity with the rest of the instruments... If you are trying to compare this song with some crazy shredding action, you're missing the point. I'm a fan for life.
Wow.558 people gave this a thumbs down. I really really wish someday you understand why this is a great performance. I apologize if any of you are deaf or mentally challenged. Hey, music is just variations in air pressure, right? Oh, you listened to this on your phone? Yeah, that is the best way to listen to a live performance right everyone else?!! Damn I'm stupid!!
Gary didn`t ask for a comparison to Hendrix or SRV....ore Joe B for that matter.... How about you judge him by his own talent...? Giving thumbs down because of those comparisons is just stupid. He is a great artist. Judge him by that. I love Joe B, and I love Gary C. No need to compare.
Yep Hendrix was not perfect either, i dont think any musician is perfect infact any errors are a part of the soul, Hendrix also wanted to be a better vocalist, this man has it.
teddytusen He has a gift let's face it! Its all in the bending of notes that not many guitarist's are able to achieve that is hitting the correct pitch, note on the bend'' His style is unorthodox yet unique as in keeping it simple, keeping it raw as one would expect it! But originality has come out tops, you try writing performing singing playing blues and being noticed amongst a billion blues bands around the States, dang even Zimbabwe have a blues band yet GCjr has let his style float him to the surface! Practice
I don't think anyone would be salty about being compared to Jimi..he was a legend. You can have a unique sound all your own but being compared to na legend..i think that's pretty huge
Those comparisons are unfair and very unfounded. He is just so boring to me. I really wanted to dig his stuff. I've tried and tried and just don't get it. It's whatever blows your hair back I guess....
Guarantee you that NONE of those who turn thumbs down on this performance can play Guitar, Bass or Drums as well as these guys. If they are good enough for Clapton's Crossroads, they are good enough for me.
Wow, what a stellar and riveting performance...Gary’s guitar prowess literally brought me to tears...and his beautifully soulful voice is powerfully majestic...thank you Gary Clark Jr. for sharing this video...
My wife spotted the Van when were parking at the Greek to see Gary that night with Mr and Mrs Trucks (great line up!). Stopped by and met the crew and had a beer with them hours after this recording. Great guys. Spud is a super cool cat! Long Live JITV
Blues is about the "feel" if you're listening to Gary Clark Jr. or any other artist for that matter and constantly critiquing their skills than you are in the wrong mindset to listen to music. Get lost in the feeling not the judgmental thoughts.
Its not the technicality thats impressive. Its the feel. The way he feeds of the music, then puts the energy back in makes for the amazing climb throughout the solo. This is as much a guitar and a life lesson as it is a great song
From like 7:30-10, GCJr. was in another fucking galaxy! I don't even have words for playing like that. It's inspired; it's pure energy; it's otherwordldly. Everyone who saw that happen, man.. be grateful. Not everyone gets to see someone just take that step, it's like Peter stepping out of the boat... for a brief moment, God calls, and something in us answers. I believe that music can be a way we experience the same thing. That was pure soul being poured out right there. Respect.
To all the people who said there's better blues out there: I got what I love out of this performance. To me, its my favorite dish on the menu right now. That's what its all about…the feeling. +Django Reinhardt
I was sitting here...missing my friend more than my heart could bare. And this song popped onto my feed... We used to send each other songs we would find and love.never heard of this guy...but there's a huge part of me that feels. Maybe he wanted me to hear this song...
@@ja4120 acoustic missing you by incubus- Jesse reyez just dropped a new album. Almost every song makes me think of my friend! Think the one that got me the most is grateful deads "he's gone" id start there ❤ music soothes the soul. Hope u heal well
I listen to just about everything, except today’s country music. Like a previous post said, blues don’t require technical playing but the trick is transmitting feeling and that, ladies and gentlemen, is the blues and my man right here got it. The band ties it together also, they are one and it shows. 💯

Yo. Best comment ever. I feel Gary is fuckin ready when his train pulls in
Its called the zone and Gary was puttin the stank on it
Fuckin aaa u feel what this guy delivers,and his guys are smokin share as well

TRY NOT TYPING WITH CAPS LOCK ON YOU *SSHOLE, NOONE GIVES A SHT ABOUT YOUR OPINION WHEN YOU WRITE THIS WAY, YOU D*CK!
Study , I mean really study the roots of American music.. Once you do you won't be surprise with musicians like Mr. Gary Clark, Jr. Now, back to the music... 🎸🎤🎶📻
Gary Clark Jr. is proof that the blues still lives.
That's right. Almost lost hope
Yeah you rite paw paw. That be Soul child
Marcus King is the next gen of true blues guitarists!

Yup.
After scrolling through the comments I've learned that the Ego is a hell of a drug.
gary is freakin awesome
SRV is better...and so is Jimi Hendrix. Ill throw Buckethead in their, although he's more technical and less emotional hehe
Testify....I couldn't agree more Marvin.
Sad aint it? Hateful trolls. Lol
Actually its 'letting go of the ego' that's a hell of a drug
The blues isn't a marketable sound it's a true spirit that gives a voice to those who dont know any other way to Express pain but through sound. Its therapy
..Don't care if you disagree.... just listen
Rajah. Truth. Bless.

Soul will never be...Marketable...it's real❤
Just listening to this song makes me feel like I'm cool.
Gary literally become the guitar in this performance. So awesome
Finally, music with a soul.
Finally? Where the fuck have you been?
Oh, there is plenty...
He Rocks It!!!

😊@@xzysyndrome
Eric Clapton said the future of the blues will come through Gary Clark Jr. I think he would know a good player if he say one don't cha think.
that in itself is good enough for me .. clapton is the shit
fuck Eric Clapton
Possibly, what he meant was that the tradition of blues music will be played by people such as, but not limited too, GC jr. I don't think Clapton means that HE is the future of blues music but maybe one person who will act in its behalf. PS. I hate Gary Clarks music and in no way or form do I think its representative of what modern blues sounds like
i like clapton, but don't consider him to be some kinda bad ass blues player. Muddy Waters on the other hand....
John Creach just cause you don't consider him as such doesn't mean he isn't
eveery time a hear Gary saing "this is jam in the van" a get gosebumps!!
Good Lord this was a strait up murder scene on the guitar. A gosh darn triple homicide. He made that thing walk like, like a camel.

I’ve been waiting for this kid to come along for 30 years now, welcome home son and good luck. Now go do it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just witnessed a man's soul being exorcised from his body through a guitar
Truth: Most critics do not have a musical bone in they're bodies.

I'm very musical by the way.
U ARE LAME!!!!
I would wonder then if you are a critic?
If by that you mean that YOU don’t like criticism of Gary Clark Jr then ok.

One evening when Gary Clark Jr was a teen he was with a girl and they were, of course, listening to some classic blues as they were sitting on the couch. Things started to heat up with some kissing and touching. The girl was getting into things as the guitar player started in on his solo. Her breathing was faster and she was squirming as Gary moved to second base. The guitar cried out as the girl started to make noises of her own. Gary rounded third and was about to slide into home base when.... The guitar solo ended and the mood was broken. The girl got self conscious and made an excuse to head home... the solo was too short. Gary swore in his heart that if he ever made it big he would NEVER let that happen to anyone listening to his music. And I want to say: Thank you Gary, thank you for giving us these long ass sweet love making solos that don't leave us blue balled.
Lmao Yes
I saw that 2
wtf?
LOL.... gold!
Classic!!!!
im over 70 years old . this gives me a hope we are getting past color . and a new sun is rising . and hate is ending .
Old school stuff here.....We need to own this. The over produced and polished stuff is not what we ever really hear live...This is the the real shit...damn...
I Second That!!!!
Hells yeah brother!!👍🏼
It's a rare player who can be that lyrical, raw, 'out of control' sounding, and still be making it feel good on the spot. Love everything about it.
oh, and the band is fucking awesome
Every day every might I can hear the train going down the tracks and sometimes it is almost quite for a minute and I can hear the highway , I think of another place I lived and there was lumber mill the saw blade all day all night and the trains .
This is all that combined and the tracks or headed off in to outer space , I don't belong in this town anymore more than the last .
I love the way they play how I feels .
Facts!
I'm addicted!! I swear it sounds like he's got that guitar talking in tongues, the best I've heard in years
w warn GCJ can make a guitar gently weeps Or can make it tell a story ....cry and sing .... you gotta be able to feel the music as it’s happening to be able to do that
Damn straight. This dude is awesome! I listen to this song over and over. He got some other good ones too! He down with it
I found Gary Clark Jr. by sheer accident. Saw a movie called Chef in which the characters stop their food truck in Texas and GCJ and band was playing at a restaurant/venue. I was stunned. Fantastic talent!
Sameeee
Gary is a genius. This whole song makes me rethink everything in life. What a beautiful person the whole band is well.
First time I heard this ... I cried because of the emotional content.
Lonesome Crow Yeah, I got a lil' bit teary eyed listening to this.
You sure as hell aren't alone lol. Me too Lonesome Crow. First heard this song live with Gary playing 10 feet from me and I couldnt help it lol.
Dude i cant help it every damn time
I can't believe how many are talking bad about this performance. What do you want? Perfection? They are human beings. This is a great tune and Gary is an amazing musician. The rest of the guys play well too. Amazing band. Great performance.
They r playin man. Dour thing Gary. Would kill for this band
+Cristian Mojica right man!
Cristian Mojica they want boring prog Rock scales going back and forth. Weeee 👎
This is the live Jam in the Van...Love it! Made me smile and took me back to a time!
Cristian Mojica no disrespect but Stevie Ray Jimi Hendrix cream Fast is not always hitting the heart .who feels it knows it .i fully agree.respect the man.
If you don’t think this is incredible the defect is you. This is lightning in a bottle on film, we live in paradise.
Paradise ?? Yeh ? pandemic , floods, fires,
...wars , starvation, homeless people,
...

Second coming of JIMI HENDRIX, always put your soul into it Gary
Dude is fucking bad man !
That guitar was flaming!!! Jimmy lives on through the souls of artist like this man..
He's so good. Not even that technical but knows how to make simple things great.

"I don't believe in competition
Ain't nobody else like me around

It ain't that hard to figure it out"
SO...MUCH...SOUL...

Man that is incredible music. Wow . guys killed it.
Don’t have to be fast to play amazing music just have to have passion for what you do !!!
The hardest a van has rocked since Halen!
Hahaha brilliant!
there is plenty of time to rock out, WHEN YOUR JAMMIN IN A VAN, DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!
Damn. Gary Clark Jr. played the hell out of that guitar. Fuck comparing him to anybody else but himself. That young man got skills. Period.
Hello I'm still in Jackson Mississippi and I am still waiting on my train to come through and you know that I said to Sandhill you and yall don't me but God he gave me life now and show me how to live because the level that I'm on its call let lone need I say more hell to the no
Laid done the tastiest solo I’ve heard in a long time. I keep coming back to refresh my memory. There are no wrong notes for Gary
Incredible
Truly refreshing
When I was a boy, I hated the riffs between the vocals. Now I can't get enough. Holy shit, I can't get enough of this
I think i'm eventually gonna add half a million views to this video all on my own through the course of my life time
Good jams
Thats all man
Seriously RUclips, if you want someone to absolutely hate whatever product you’re hawking, put it’s ad right in the middle of a song video. That’ll do it every time.
Glad to see this young, gifted, talented black man keep the blues of HIS ancestors alive. Thank you Mr. Gary Clark Jr.
Blues Lover soul shines through .from the heart.simple modest .hard hitting back beat blues.love it respect due.
YOU DIG REAL BLUES AND FOLLOW TRADITION OF WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT. THANK YOU

5:48 what a bass player, tuning in the middle of the song. Legend.
U know tabs?

So good to hear an artist who can play a guitar solo well, and he is not playing metal music
What? You must have very limited knowledge of music.

A Sunday in NJ drinking Jamaican rum smoking a cigar listening to a great song. PERFECT
I happened upon Gary Clark Jr. while day drinking at Coachella in 2016. Best day of my musical memory life.
Bit late to the party when it comes to liking this band, but I've only just been made aware of them via this song. Blown away by their virtuosity and authentically cool vibe. They are the real deal.
what a great drummer! ;-)
he's alright but he looks like a cool down to earth guy
+Gioele Serena- I agree
I was in a reggae band with him when I lived in Austin! For real. Johnny. One of the coolest cats on the planet.
***** cool man! ;-)
I think he looks like Booger from Revenge of the Nerds.
9:53 "la la la la la la" oh my God ! He makes that guitar sing.
Thank You
he is FANTASTIC. I SAW HIM OPEN FOR THE ROLLING STONES AND HE KILLED IT.
He opened for the Stones? That's big time, and what a great warm up act for them to have. I bet part of his job was to get the crowd fired up, but not upstage the old boys either. :)
I'm digging this. Tight band. Gary gets a bad wrap. Lots of soul, and truth going on here.
We all can't be SRV.
Tom Howland thank god. There are enough SRVaughabees out here already and SRV just took from Albert and Otis and added crazy clothes on a white boy and a tube screamer.
Greenwood Mills wow.... just wow
Only SRV can be SRV. Ok, Buddy Guy can also be SRV, but hell, he's Buddy Guy, he can be anyone he wants.
@Greenwood Mills I would be willing to bet that you couldn't play SRV's
guitar for 5 minutes without having to soak your hand in epsome salts.
elbis nopserton let me guess you could? Man no one gives a shit about all the SRV folklore, heavy strings and all that except you Vaughanabees. FOH.
Whoa. My ears just came. This van sure does get some funkin' sweet talent inside of it's doors!
Listened to his album "Blak and Blu" on repeat while traveling around Italy a couple of years ago
GARY CLARK JR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My son who's 9 try to hide his soul when this came on and played for while... I asked him if he felt this tingle in him, if it was a never before felt " something "..
Told my yeah with a shy smile and head nod hahaha
Told him it was okay feel that and let it known.. Such soul this has, I can't really describe the feeling
Today he is my favorite guitar player... after RIP JH
The beauty of Gary's playing is the selective riffs and the simplicity/synchronicity with the rest of the instruments... If you are trying to compare this song with some crazy shredding action, you're missing the point. I'm a fan for life.
Έχει όλο το σωστό feeling και μάλιστα το χει πολύ!!!
NO I was not sorry for the a cidental post3
Solid...Technical guitar playing means squat compared to emotional playing and Gary flows with emotion and thats why he is great...period
Couldn't agree more, so e of the best songs are but guitarist's not really recognized for there technical abilities
This one of the best masterpiece of all time.
Wow.558 people gave this a thumbs down. I really really wish someday you understand why this is a great performance. I apologize if any of you are deaf or mentally challenged. Hey, music is just variations in air pressure, right? Oh, you listened to this on your phone? Yeah, that is the best way to listen to a live performance right everyone else?!! Damn I'm stupid!!
Gary didn`t ask for a comparison to Hendrix or SRV....ore Joe B for that matter.... How about you judge him by his own talent...? Giving thumbs down because of those comparisons is just stupid. He is a great artist. Judge him by that. I love Joe B, and I love Gary C. No need to compare.
Yep Hendrix was not perfect either, i dont think any musician is perfect infact any errors are a part of the soul, Hendrix also wanted to be a better vocalist, this man has it.

He has a gift let's face it! Its all in the bending of notes that not many guitarist's are able to achieve that is hitting the correct pitch, note on the bend''
His style is unorthodox yet unique as in keeping it simple, keeping it raw as one would expect it! But originality has come out tops, you try writing performing singing playing blues and being noticed amongst a billion blues bands around the States, dang even Zimbabwe have a blues band yet GCjr has let his style float him to the surface! Practice
teddytusen well said
I don't think anyone would be salty about being compared to Jimi..he was a legend. You can have a unique sound all your own but being compared to na legend..i think that's pretty huge
Those comparisons are unfair and very unfounded. He is just so boring to me. I really wanted to dig his stuff. I've tried and tried and just don't get it. It's whatever blows your hair back I guess....
I can't believe that guitar stays in tune after he bends the strings like halfway across the fretboard. He gets awesome tone with that SG too.
this is the gnarliest shit ive heard in a while!
you said gnarly, you are my new best friend.
Yep
Guarantee you that NONE of those who turn thumbs down on this performance can play Guitar, Bass or Drums as well as these guys. If they are good enough for Clapton's Crossroads, they are good enough for me.
the imagery of the train coming is unbelievably perfect at the end .WOW looks exactly like his dad.
Just a perfect. Peice
Really a great guitar rip amazing artist in a van 😮jam in a van
String stretching at its best 😮😮😮
Chef brought me here,love it!!!
Superb recording and audio that accentuates all of these magnificent band members and of course the guitar master himself Gary Clark Jr! 🙏
Wow, what a stellar and riveting performance...Gary’s guitar prowess literally brought me to tears...and his beautifully soulful voice is powerfully majestic...thank you Gary Clark Jr. for sharing this video...
Are people whining about this? Really? DUDE is on FIRE.
I WHOLE HEARTEDLY BELIEVE...THAT THIS RIGHT HERE!?.....IS NO LONGER BLUES!....CALL IT?....THE GREENS!!!!!
I am very lucky to say this is my first time hearing his music... I don't have words, they just spoke for me.
He's got an awesome voice and a unique guitar sound--just enjoy folks.
My wife spotted the Van when were parking at the Greek to see Gary that night with Mr and Mrs Trucks (great line up!). Stopped by and met the crew and had a beer with them hours after this recording. Great guys. Spud is a super cool cat! Long Live JITV
Marty Moon Thanks Marty! Great meeting you!

The thing I like most about Gary Clark jr is that in 30 years we will still be talking about Gary Clark jr
AMAZING.......
Blues is about the "feel" if you're listening to Gary Clark Jr. or any other artist for that matter and constantly critiquing their skills than you are in the wrong mindset to listen to music. Get lost in the feeling not the judgmental thoughts.
Amen
agreed
Yes! Couldn’t agree more.
You are playing my favorite guitar an I am 63 years young!
robbin bazinet this is a 1961 les paul ✌🏼
Excellent
Its not the technicality thats impressive. Its the feel. The way he feeds of the music, then puts the energy back in makes for the amazing climb throughout the solo. This is as much a guitar and a life lesson as it is a great song
amen
@@brandonterzic ITS DA FEEL, CADILLAC BABY MFING CADILLAC
BET THEY ALL HAD BE MFING FORCED TO LEAVE
May still be there
my dad died and he loves this song
Super talented
PLAY WITH THE SPIRIT, PLAY WITH THE SPIRIT, FLY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YEAH i LOVE IT.
HELLLLLLLLL YELLLLLLLLLL
7:30.... And the guitar manifested into a raging beast that nearly set the whole van on fire 🎸🔥
bottom line he is very good... PERIOD NO BAD WORDS NEEDED DON'T HATE.... DAMN
Gary Clark Jr, is raw, but I love it! Then he and that bad a"* band of his in a van. At 65 years old and retired music educator, rocks me❤
Thanks Mr. Clark for your music. No autotune. I hate that shit. Either you sing or you don’t.
From like 7:30-10, GCJr. was in another fucking galaxy! I don't even have words for playing like that. It's inspired; it's pure energy; it's otherwordldly. Everyone who saw that happen, man.. be grateful. Not everyone gets to see someone just take that step, it's like Peter stepping out of the boat... for a brief moment, God calls, and something in us answers. I believe that music can be a way we experience the same thing. That was pure soul being poured out right there. Respect.
wow this guy is freaken good!!!!!
To all the people who said there's better blues out there: I got what I love out of this performance. To me, its my favorite dish on the menu right now. That's what its all about…the feeling. +Django Reinhardt
Incredible. Nuff said
I was sitting here...missing my friend more than my heart could bare. And this song popped onto my feed... We used to send each other songs we would find and love.never heard of this guy...but there's a huge part of me that feels. Maybe he wanted me to hear this song...
jillian jones I’m missing a friend too. Any suggestions on other songs to listen to?
@@ja4120 acoustic missing you by incubus- Jesse reyez just dropped a new album. Almost every song makes me think of my friend! Think the one that got me the most is grateful deads "he's gone" id start there ❤ music soothes the soul. Hope u heal well
jillian jones thank you, I hope you do too.
Respect for Gary Clark jr and the jam van. Saw this dude for first time at the x-games austin and the talent is undeniable
Mannn this took me back to the 60's Jimmy Hendrix - He is good!!
Yawn
I listen to just about everything, except today’s country music. Like a previous post said, blues don’t require technical playing but the trick is transmitting feeling and that, ladies and gentlemen, is the blues and my man right here got it. The band ties it together also, they are one and it shows. 💯
Love the rythem guitarist in this song. What great guitar from Gary. What a jam!❤
