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...
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.
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
Joy is in my heart.my mom sang this song..we HD family alter prayer w our 7 children si g that song my 1young son took it seriously as He still sings it in reminds me of better days..my 7 are grown& all love JESUS
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.
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!
@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."
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 !

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.
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..
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
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!
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!
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
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!
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-
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
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
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.
I've watched this great video so many times, but tonight was the first time I ever noticed the pack of smokes on the piano. Now I love the performance even more!
I love this song my first time seeing this I am a child of God this is so awesome but if I called him up it would be to watch over my kids his children and family I miss my babysister and dad, but I know one day I will see them again he already knows what I want are need
@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.
This is the best video i have ever seen on RUclips. I would sell my family to see Ry Cooder live and yet he never plays in Britain any more. Sort it out Ry!
He is of the kind, that makes me feel great, just by the mention of his name. These type artist, rare to find and in short supply always.....Like Eric, like willie, and Johnny .....and even in the likes of the surfing with the alien guitarist whos name slips my present sleep deprived mind. There are some musicians that the mere mention of their name, and the good feelings overtake my attitude. Ry, he too holds that kind of presence.....it could be the music choices, it could be the quality of the music and musicians around each performance. Mostly, I think it comes down to what I ve learned in the years of their personal efforts. to expect yet another heart feeling as well as filling adventure down the road of imagination. Time for the modern flash to find its Greatness in great music again and not the cheap thrill antics of what passes for contemporary hits.
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.

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
Listening during this quarantine..Focus on the Lord Jesus..one day at a time. Amen🙏✝️

The sweetest and the grooviest thing, don't you agree.

Ry Cooder is ALWAYS at his peak.
Joy is in my heart.my mom sang this song..we HD family alter prayer w our 7 children si g that song my 1young son took it seriously as
He still sings it in reminds me of better days..my 7 are grown& all love JESUS
Man, what a performance, with an all star band.
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
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!
Rys guitar sounds like pure sound going out to fans all around the globe..beautiful..in all ways..genius on stage
That's a twelve string electric mandolin

Great INFO
One of those performances that touch your very soul
hhhhoe amen
Awesome Ry Cooder, the other great singers, just the whole band. Thank you!
This is definitely the most soulful version of this old gospel hymn I have ever heard!
Monster crew on this one! Bobby King/Terry Evans are SO good. Have a couple of their lp's from back in the day.
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
This is absolutely amazing. Ry Cooder is the man
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 !
"JESUS IS ON THE MAINLIIINE TELL HIM WHAT YOU WANT!!!" I LOVE YOU JESUS!!!!!!!
Was watching a movie and heard this song, it blew me away...
What movie?
I have seen Ry Cooder several times and he is one of the best. His bands are always all world
Had to listen to it one more time love the reaction on all there faces Amen Hallelujah praise God
hearing this is the best thing that's happened to me in a while

Pure genious. How the hell he gets that thing in tune let alone finger-picking it AND bottlenecking beats me. Great track. Thanks
I just couldn 't stop crying while listening to this song. Ms Amrita from India
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!
Hare Krsna!
I stay in India and call on Lord Christ Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.
🙏🏻👋🏻 📿 Every day cry for Him!
Beautiful music!
I love that you're from India and I'm in Maine, USA and we're both crying too.
crying out from the netherlands. just found a little peace listening. although for some reason god never listens to what i say 😥

Also if he dont heal you,but had mercy enough to give you time to come to true repentence

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.
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
Every now and then an artist speaks truth!
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!
Ry has a new release of gospel music!

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
this whole concert is amazing--who needs pop music when we have the likes of this
It's true. Jesus really is on the mainline!
Peter O'Brien Amen
Best version of that song EVER!! I PLAY THIS EVERY SUNDAY AND HAVE ME SOME CHURCH!!
Amen

A talent for the ages. I am grateful this artist dropped into this world.
So good, it makes me want to abandon reason and believe in Jesus.
Thankyou Jesus for being with me when I am lost
fine song and excellent Mando-guitar play
How awesome is this? Love, love, love. ❤️🎶🙏
I loved this Album. Paradise and Lunch. One of my all time fave songs
Always enjoy hearing this.
The legends never dies like the sweet music of master Ry Cooder
Dude! That is Colonel Sanders' nephew who also worked at NASA on the keys. @2:30 I love this performance through and through.
I still on the line, yes
2022 and still remembering my Grandpa singing this song May His Soul Rest in Peace ⚘
While you there with God please tell him what i want 🙏
I could listen to this tune all day.
What singing and playing!Wonderful is the only word for it......
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?

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!
What was on this page first?
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.
One of my favorite musicians performing at one of my favorite clubs.
RIP and thank you George Bohanon!
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-
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!
Ry is one of those very few absolute greats.
Love it! Line is never busy, call him up!
How did they not release these concerts there are some unbelievable performances some of his best ever surely?!

Studio version is on Paradise and Lunch, a GREAT LP with "Fool For A Cigarette", "Mexican Divorce", "Mr Diddy Wah Diddy" - absolute classics.
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.
One of my favourites. The whole band is so well synhronized.
How about the one and only Jim Keltner on drums? The man keeps it in the groove. Great performance and a great song. This is soulful.
no kidding
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.
Ry is the coolest of cool... without a doubt
Awesome! That voice does not sound like it would come out of that man!
Bobby King Legend, Ryan Cooder Legend ❤❤
Ryland Cooder.
simply love these vocals, thanks for posting
Absolutely fantastic…., music and words
IT JUST DOESN'T GET BETTER THAN THIS !!
if it does let me know
@@marshsherrif2824 😂
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
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
I keep trying to wear out the replay button. lol. Amazing stuff.
hello ry, thank you again for your music .
Just make that most important call! Thanks Ryland. Got me on my knees
One and Only!!Ry Cooder!
this is awesome great and wonderful and above R.C.'s band's perfection in emotion and devotion the keyboard organ is the topping!
Ry cooder is a sound human being ,, needless to say , a wonderful musician. I am lucky enough too own a signed copy of his book, los Angeles stories.
'Leap of faith' bought me here, glad it did, wonderful. Thanks for the clip. Best wishes from Melbourne Aus.
just outright plain beautiful. call Him up.
still play this album everyday in the car or house.FANTASTIC.
I've watched this great video so many times, but tonight was the first time I ever noticed the pack of smokes on the piano. Now I love the performance even more!
call him up tell him what you want.....
I love this song my first time seeing this I am a child of God this is so awesome but if I called him up it would be to watch over my kids his children and family I miss my babysister and dad, but I know one day I will see them again he already knows what I want are need
1 of my mom's favorite songs, lovely❤
I`m a jazz-guy. but Ry kills it, all the time. What a guy :)
Love this song.
Still love this one!
12 string ee-lectic mando played slide! How cool is that? Long live Ry Cooder!
