Why has this concert never been released ? Probably one of the greatest concerts ever. If American traditional music could be represented by a concert, this would be it. It has everything; folk, gospel, rock, Americana...
This is at the peak of Ry Cooder´s musical career - just as any other music he produces - genius, Legend who cannot go wrong I like to believe - musicologist, Global & national treasure
True Soul wrapped up in Gospel & delivered in the Blues. Ry Cooder has always been a special soul, gathering those around him with the passion to deliver.
Instantly recognizable, brilliant playing. Ry is the most respected within the music business,of all the living blues guitarists, period. The so called rock and roll hall of fame is not even worthy of him.
Thanks to all of you that commented and educated us about Ry's instrument. As always, Mr. Cooder is unique. I would be remiss if I did not thank the person posting this. THANKS !
Wish my husband were alive to see this. He had the album Into the Purple Valley so long ago and we never knew he sang this. It's great I love this song
Ry is too much. First off he looks like some harmless weedy pop singer. You could slap a beatle jacket on him. But then out comes this enormous raw okey shouter voice all festooned with huge gospel realism and he just knocks you out!
Not too much for me....i could handle All-Ry all the time! ;) top of my all-time favourite musicians...not to take anything away from any of the accompanying musicians!
We used to sing this in church back in the 70's. The Church of course had their own version. It is amazing to hear again-in a blues version. It made my spirit soar!
I believe it's a Vox Mando-Guitar, made from '64-'68. Unison string pairs, not octaves. But enough technical trivia, Ry could play rubber bands stretched across a shoebox and sound great.
@danmiller66 Comment from WesleyvanH: "That Vox Mandoguitar Ry's playing is a octave twelfe. A hybrid with a short-scale 12-string guitar neck and a small solid electric guitar body. It's usually tuned one octave higher than a standard guitar with the pairs of strings tuned in unison rather than in octaves as is the case of standard 12-string guitars. This puts the instrument in the same range as a mandolin."
Absolutely. Jesus enjoyed a good party! I'm sure he would have enjoyed Ry & the Moula Banda Rhythm Aces! Does this sound like a 'party pooper' to you? Marriage at Cana - Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_at_Cana
That's such a beautiful sentiment beautiful and sweet and lovely lady from India! May you Always be Supremely Blessed with Love and Joy and Peace from Up High!
@@draaikont8637 Sincerely, yours is not an uncommon situation, because we all feel God is supposed to hear our every desire, and fulfill it as we order Him to.
Fantastic. All of them. Early Ry Cooder LP's are real gems. Saw him with Bobby King & Terry Evans in the 80's. I don't think he's been back to Toronto since. Too bad!

Sensational..Ry Cooder is a singing and slider on guitar musician..fantastically performed..this gospel song is very touching and the entertainer is awesome with backup singers..thank you all..
Wow! I wish I could have been there, on fire, wow! This is real playing and singing. This brings memories and all good ones, the way it's played and sang, chills run up and down my spine. What a gig that was.
This song makes me like jesus is on the main the line it is so spiritual. The line is never busy tell him what you want, call him up and tell him what you want xx
Long time ago I bought an obscure bootleg CD titled " Ry Cooder . Live USA" (LSD Record 152.062) in an department store (!). It features 10 tracks from the movie in mono (like this youtube video). You can find it here: www.discogs.com/de/Ry-Cooder-Live-USA/release/2897627
I've ALWAYs loved this- sometimes I just start singing back up- someone said Ry Cooder could sing at my funeral- AMen to that- I talk to him the time- not sure he's listening- I meant jesus- but Ry Cooder would be cool-
needed a Ry Cooder fix this morning. some days are like that. willie and merle are great " pot" song also. it ws first on this page. thanks for making my day!
@oceanplanet602 I think Ry Cooder is a super underrated musician. I mean, I hardly know ANYONE who knows who he is, or has ever even heard of him or his music. But why?! I mean, Ry Cooder is such an amazing musician, it blows my mind! He's one of the best guitarists I've ever heard.

It's a concert film by Les Blank. Pretty sure it's still up in full on youtube and there's an accompanying album
If I called Him up, I'd tell Him I want MORE RY COODER!
Absolutely
Morning Cooder
What a great reply. Why did I not think of that
My Grandma loved this song it's a old Fire baptized song her prayers have kept me on the true path all these years. I see the light Grandma.
Man, what a performance, with an all star band.
*This is an absolute masterpiece of the art. A unique gem to hear & to feel. Call him up & tell him." On the main line. Jesus saves.*
Listening during this quarantine..Focus on the Lord Jesus..one day at a time. Amen🙏✝️
This is at the peak of Ry Cooder´s musical career - just as any other music he produces - genius, Legend who cannot go wrong I like to believe - musicologist, Global & national treasure
Ry Cooder is ALWAYS at his peak.
One of those performances that touch your very soul
hhhhoe amen
hearing this is the best thing that's happened to me in a while
Rys guitar sounds like pure sound going out to fans all around the globe..beautiful..in all ways..genius on stage
This is definitely the most soulful version of this old gospel hymn I have ever heard!
The vocal quartet is what makes this performance for me . . . powerful singers all and they rock the hell out of Mainline !
💯 💯 💯 💯!
especially dat bass Sanger! whooo
Monster crew on this one! Bobby King/Terry Evans are SO good. Have a couple of their lp's from back in the day.
This is absolutely amazing. Ry Cooder is the man

Kann ich nur zustimmen❤
"JESUS IS ON THE MAINLIIINE TELL HIM WHAT YOU WANT!!!" I LOVE YOU JESUS!!!!!!!
Pure genious. How the hell he gets that thing in tune let alone finger-picking it AND bottlenecking beats me. Great track. Thanks
Instantly recognizable, brilliant playing. Ry is the most respected within the music business,of all the living blues guitarists, period. The so called rock and roll hall of fame is not even worthy of him.
5 years. Grown up yet?
marinman39 you got that right!
He's basically a silver haired guy now; still a stone genius
Thanks to all of you that commented and educated us about Ry's instrument. As always, Mr. Cooder is unique. I would be remiss if I did not thank the person posting this. THANKS !
Wish my husband were alive to see this. He had the album Into the Purple Valley so long ago and we never knew he sang this. It's great I love this song
If you had that album you should be familiar with one of my favorites, Ry's cover of Denomination Blues!
@@adderman1950 no not familiar with any other albums for whatever reason. But I'll check out Denomination Blues 👍
Denomination Blues is a song off the Into The Purple Valley album. That is why I thought you might have heard it.
🤷It was fifty years ago
@@adderman1950 I do remember the song Money Honey
this whole concert is amazing--who needs pop music when we have the likes of this
Ry is too much. First off he looks like some harmless weedy pop singer. You could slap a beatle jacket on him. But then out comes this enormous raw okey shouter voice all festooned with huge gospel realism and he just knocks you out!
Ry is the realest deal there is!
IDK how a guy from LA has a okey shouter voice. lol
Well said.
Not too much for me....i could handle All-Ry all the time! ;) top of my all-time favourite musicians...not to take anything away from any of the accompanying musicians!
Just heard him playing, can't stop listening to him!
Awesome Ry Cooder, the other great singers, just the whole band. Thank you!
this guy is so awesome and i love this song. never heard another version as good as this
Lois Pulliam Indeed. Me neither. And just killin' it on solo from 3:15 to 4:00.
priceless back vocals as well
Me either
@@lilychauque5234 they are quartet who have their own songs. Ry plays many of them.
Simply, greater! Ry Cooder, one of my favorites guitar players...
Vitor Mendes
Amen!
I. Love. Song
Tearing up that mandolin
Don't neglect the vocal group and the Maker of those folks in your praises.
We used to sing this in church back in the 70's. The Church of course had their own version. It is amazing to hear again-in a blues version. It made my spirit soar!
Solid body mandolin with strat pickups and electrics!! I want one! :D
Not a mandolin. It’s a 12-string guitar tuned one octave up from standard.
I believe it's a Vox Mando-Guitar, made from '64-'68. Unison string pairs, not octaves. But enough technical trivia, Ry could play rubber bands stretched across a shoebox and sound great.
Big thanks! I’m a guitarist and I was wondering what it was, confused. Great combo. Should I make my own? Sam X
The sweetest and the grooviest thing, don't you agree.

Great INFO
I have seen Ry Cooder several times and he is one of the best. His bands are always all world
“If your sick and want to get well, tell Him what you want”
Kenneth Krahn true words
Also if he dont heal you,but had mercy enough to give you time to come to true repentence
fine song and excellent Mando-guitar play
Had to listen to it one more time love the reaction on all there faces Amen Hallelujah praise God
Every now and then an artist speaks truth!
Studio version is on Paradise and Lunch, a GREAT LP with "Fool For A Cigarette", "Mexican Divorce", "Mr Diddy Wah Diddy" - absolute classics.
It doesn't always have to be just on Sundays...feeling it, love this song
Absolutely. Jesus enjoyed a good party! I'm sure he would have enjoyed Ry & the Moula Banda Rhythm Aces! Does this sound like a 'party pooper' to you?

A talent for the ages. I am grateful this artist dropped into this world.
One of my favorite musicians performing at one of my favorite clubs.
Was watching a movie and heard this song, it blew me away...
What movie?
IT JUST DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THIS !!

@@marshsherrif2824 😂

I love that you're from India and I'm in Maine, USA and we're both crying too.

One of my favourites. The whole band is so well synhronized.
still play this album everyday in the car or house.FANTASTIC.
Fantastic. All of them. Early Ry Cooder LP's are real gems. Saw him with Bobby King & Terry Evans in the 80's. I don't think he's been back to Toronto since. Too bad!
He visited since then. Hello Madeleine
Brings me back to the day we saw the Dead play at Laguna Seca raceway with Ry Cooder and opening for them the SAME DAY as this!
Still love this one!

One and Only!!Ry Cooder!
Love this song.
Ry has a new release of gospel music!
Prodigal son
Yahoo!
Awesome! That voice does not sound like it would come out of that man!
I`m a jazz-guy. but Ry kills it, all the time. What a guy :)
Man. Just think ... a bottle of bourbon, a campfire ... and 20 or 30 of you like-minded Cooder fans kicking back with various Ry tunes on auto-loop.
it's have to be tequila and beer for this Cooderite...
I’ll take Southern Comfort out of the bottle!
Absolutely gorgeous! "Down in Mississippi" they did this same night is also great btw
Yes! That gives me chills!
I hope those vocalists were paid well!
@snicky58
Well, if they weren’t, then Bobby and Terry performed an unprecedented 5 decades long act of charity for Ry.
Just make that most important call! Thanks Ryland. Got me on my knees
This song makes me like jesus is on the main the line it is so spiritual. The line is never busy tell him what you want, call him up and tell him what you want xx
this is awesome great and wonderful and above R.C.'s band's perfection in emotion and devotion the keyboard organ is the topping!
The legends never dies like the sweet music of master Ry Cooder
Ry Cooder, great singer.
just outright plain beautiful. call Him up.
Very COOL. 😎👍👍
Fuck yeah.
Peter Arnold I think you summed it up nicely :-)
what a nice version, so many instruments..............
And VOICES
How awesome is this? Love, love, love. ❤️🎶🙏
12 string ee-lectic mando played slide! How cool is that? Long live Ry Cooder!
How did they not release these concerts there are some unbelievable performances some of his best ever surely?!

He always has the best bands. Everybody wants to play with Ry. Jim Dickinson would’ve been good on this. They did a lot together.
Absolutely fantastic…., music and words
