  • Eric Johnson plays "Forty Mile Town" on the Ah Via Musicom Anniversary Tour at the City National Grove at Anaheim on 1/25/18. The show was split up into two separate sets, the first being a traditional mix of tunes, many from his latest excellent album "Collage," together with great covers and some of his best tracks. The second set was his landmark "Ah Via Musicom" album in its entirety. Stellar performances by Eric, Tommy Taylor on drums and Kyle Brock on bass.

    January 2022 and I still come back once in a while to watch this masterpiece of Eric Johnson. The cleanest guitar tone in the history of music.

    the type of chord voicings he does while singing is kinda insane lol. He makes the stretches look way easier than they actually are

      He's a bit more alien then we are with the the finger stretching.

    I saw him tonight after becoming a fan in 1980, after his work on the first Christopher Cross album. You can't help but stand in awe of this guy and his band. They did not disappoint!

    Between his tone, chord voicing, guitar effects and his skill at playing, Eric just blows me away!! This is a very difficult song to play, much less play great and sing at the same time! Guess that's why he makes the big bucks lol

    Great video-incredible song…always wonder if he wrote this on the piano because the chord voicings are so complex. And to think EJ plays this live and then can sing over this. So impressive-thanks for sharing your work!!!

    I love Eric Johnson! But you know, Kyle Brock and Tommy Taylor are amazing as well! It's annoying to me that all these videos focus on Eric and it's as though he's the only one on the stage, but he's not. Try panning around a bit maybe.

      Thanks. I though it might be something like that with possibly another note. It looks like hi 3 and 4 fingers are where the barre chord would go across and the 1 and 2 fingers are closer to the headstock.

    Ok, I can only do maybe 5 chords but forget the rest. You need a middle finger thats like 7" long to play the remaining chords clean to the end😲 more stretching than Mayers Neon..😖
