RIP, David. Thank you, Henry, for sharing this loving tribute to a one-of-a -kind musician and human being. Deepest sympathies.
Hats off to Henry for this most generous, thoughtful, witty and accurate testimony to the peerless Mr Dave. He enriched my life from the days of Kaleidoscope and subsequent side trips with Terry Reid, Jackson Browne, El Rayo-X, Henry, Ry Cooder and his endless collaborations down the years. "Session-man" etc never did him justice. I met him once and interviewed him a little later and he was a musical encyclopaedia and an engaging, funny subject. His musical spirit
will be undiluted by the years.
A huge loss. One of the finest musicians of our time. And that voice! I never knew whether to laugh, cry or just enjoy. But I loved him anyway. 😘
This is I think the richest tribute anyone could give to David Lindley. It went deeper into the music and the person than I have really experienced so far. I had listened to all those albums but the last one. I had thought that David Lindley had been on only a few records in my collection including his solo album and some Jackson Brown albums but here I find he's in the deep end. I should have known. Or maybe I did and am just getting too old to remember. At any rate, Thanks Henry, for this clearly loving tribute.
David's lap steel is like a warm summer embrace, a childhood memory such an amazing lyrical voice and that was just one of the many contributions he made to music...
This morning on the way to school my ten-year-old daughter asked me if I knew that David Lindley had died I said yes course and she said what did he do I didn't know how to describe David's vast Talent so I just cued up Running on empty and said he's not the guy singing he's the guy playing that really high beautiful guitar she listened all the way through without saying a word and at the end she said wow he was really good huh I said yes honey he really was
Thank you, Henry... what a beautiful thing you did for him. The world will be a much duller place without him.
I believe it was El Rayo X...UCSC Staff Appreciation Day..up top, outdoors on a stage set up on the field overlooking Monterey Bay, maybe summer. Just UCSC staff and some friends. I was a lucky staff member and a longtime fan. They checked us at the campus entrance. Some food, drinks and a flea market, some selling clothes. The band started playing their usual amazing tunes, the fog rolled in, the wind picked up and it got really chilly; those flea market guys sold every sweater, jacket and shirt real quick and we all had the best time. I wish I had a video. Mid way in the show they were cookin' and a gust of wind blew a towel off the top of a speaker and it wrapped around David's face while he was singing....he didn't miss a beat, finished the song with the towel flapping in the wind. The place went nuts. Thanks, Dave!
I had the incredible luck to have David Lindley as my guitar and banjo teacher in Pasadena in the mid 60's. He had short hair then! He was always nice and patient. He found me a guitar and a banjo (which he reworked for me). I still have those instruments and still play them today. He had unimaginable talent that was so evident sitting across from him and watch him play. He is in polyester heaven now! RIP
Amazing!
Back in 1986, I had the opportunity to roadie for David's band, El Rayo X. I was already a huge fan. And after a few months on the road I was in awe! Night after night, Mr Dave, Jorge, Bernie (later Ray), Smitty, and Walfredo blew away audiences with their unique chunky style. I absolutely loved every single show!! I also really enjoyed this time with David. He was musical royalty, but he was also a sweet guy who made this young insecure musician feel right at home. I will miss you, David, and will always wish I could've seen just one more show.
Henry, thank you for sharing your personal stories of David in this wonderful tribute.
Great tour,Paul was wonderful also❤
@@danielosullivan3110 , Yeah I chatted with Paul Irwin, aka "Santa Claws", at a couple of gigs and corresponded with him a little bit when buying T-shirt's. (If you watch the performance of Quarter of a Man from the Reggae on the River concert, which you can find on RUclips, you'll aee Paul Irwin standing behind Lindley on stage). I was a subscriber to Lindley's newsletter in the pre-internet age! I just ordered a couple T-shirts and left a donation for David's family through the fundraiser set up by promoter Douglas Reynolds on the Custom Ink website.
I saw that tour in Nashville. A peak musical experience, to be sure! It must have been amazing to witness it night after night.
@@HankleburyTV It really was!
I saw him in Seattle on that same tour!! Blew my mind
This is such a beautiful tribute.
Mr. Dave. There will never be anyone like him. Not even close. 🙏🏻❤️🎵
It is a *rare* human who reaches so many. I'm grateful he reached me!
Hi Henry. Thanks for sharing your wonderful memories of, and collaborations with, the amazing David Lindley. Nice to see you too. xLesley
Such a beautiful human being and a matchless artist. Will miss his presence at folk festivals. RIP
Thanks for this wonderfull tribute, Henry. RIP David Lindley and Thank you for the extraordinary human being that he was.
thank-you Henry
Thanks Henry for the great window into your work with David.
I'm sorry for your loss of a dear friend. He was truly one-of-a-kind and he will be deeply missed by so many. What a blessing to you that you could call him a friend. 💞💗🙏 And a very touching tribute. Thank you!
I don't know how I'm just hearing of this. It's painful. RIP. Such a master of his instrument, so lyrical.
Thank you Henry! RIP David Lindley ....
Thank you for sharing these touching memories. Blessings
Thank you David for the music that was a major part of my life. From Mars to Madagascar you made the most wonderful sounds. And thank you Henry for sharing this tribute. Also I would be remiss if I didn't offer David a belated thumbs up for his long-time dedication to his dress code.
The shirt is a nice touch! There couldn't be a better tribute to a musician of this caliber than to show us these sides of his playing that we've never seen - thanks for that.
RIP Mr. Dave. Thanks so much for your music.
Beautiful Henry!...Thanks so much.
Dammit, Henry, you made me cry, for the umpteenth time since I heard about Dave's passing. Tears of sadness mixed with tears of joy that I got to hear, appreciate and enjoy David's playing for nearly 50 years, both on record and in concert. Thank you for this tribute. By the way, the World Out of Time series is a favorite of mine, and my wife and I used "Izahy Si Malala" as part of our wedding ceremony! In closing, all I can say is Lassez le Bon Temps Roulez; Let the good times roll!
Just wonderful stuff Henry. A perfect way to celebrate David's birthday. Thanks so much for sharing with everyone.
Thank you for sharing beautiful exquisite David Lindley! Loved by many! My sincerest sympathies to you and just family and friends 😌
Thank you, Henry…
Thank you much, dear Henry! A very warm and nice one!
Thanks Henry for this well-stated and heartfelt tribute to David Lindley. He was a true original. He was an "idea" man who also had supreme technique, and that's kind of rare. El Rayo X was one of the best bands ever. People will enjoy his music for many years to come, so in a way, Lindley is immortal.
So very sorry for the loss of your dear friend, Henry - and thank you so much for sharing this treasure. Lots of folks missing this guy, and this sure helps us remember his genius as if we needed reminding!
RIP David Lindley. Your slide guitar and lapsteel guitar play. Unique.
Thank you for the wonderful tribute. Vaya con Dios Mr. Dave, thank you for all the good music.
Thank you, Henry. That was lovely! R.I.P. David.
You and David have enriched my life and so many others with your respective and collaborative unique treasures Henry. This is a beautiful tribute. So sorry for loss which all of us who love his music and yours share in our own way. Thankyou
A beautiful and loving tribute to Mr. Dave.
Thank you Henry!!!!!! Great job as always!!!!!!
Thank you for this! Just a beautiful tribute. I remember seeing David somewhere after the trip to Madagascar. He asked me if I wanted to see his photos, and I said sure. He handed me a photo album full of postcards crammed in to all the sleeves. 😅 Love that man. RIP David. Thank you Henry.
What a lovely tribute, Henry. Thank you.
An extraordinary tribute to David. So sorry for your loss, and the loss to the world.
My sincere condolences to David’s family, and to you as well Henry. It is so hard to have a close musical collaborator pass on to another plane of existence. We not only miss their physical presence, their silly jokes and their friendship, but also the aspects of their playing that were unique to them. And David’s playing was so unique.
I also relate to seemingly suddenly having become one of the “old guys.” I started hanging around and learning fiddle from older musicians while in my teens. Now fifty years later I’m still playing with the “young guys and gals,” friends I made back then. Now that we’re officially “the old farts,” we don’t know where the time went and not a day goes by that we don’t think of our mentors, their playing (and their dumb jokes). I am most certain that David (and you as well) will live on in the hearts, minds and music of all those you have shared your tunes and friendship with.
Thank you for sharing your heartfelt thoughts and videos with us. What a beautiful requiem.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for celebrating his life by sharing your memories and these clips with us. He was one of a kind.
Thank you Henry. David told me that you two donated the proceeds of the Madagascar series to help local musicians there. You both have a heart.
Was lucky enough to see him play at a small outdoor stage with my 3 young kids. It was a warm summer night and my children danced and twirled under the stars to Lindley's music without a care in the world. What a night that was for us, and one that will leave us with memories for a lifetime.
I’m so very fortunate to have seen him numerous times in the nineties and had the pleasure of meeting him every time. He did that schmoozing thing after shows. God bless him. He’s one of the best, Prince of Polyester..
Lovely tribute to a great musician. RIP
A true and fitting tribute to a very great musician
'll never forget his Original House of Blues concert-( Cambrige MA)I was a bit late. Climbing the stairs I could hear a very full glorious sound Guitar, Vocals,Drums, and a superb bass player. Sliding through the elbow-to-elbow crowd to get a close look, I discovered that Lindley was playing lap-style and was finger-styling the bass lines as well while singing. A two-man band: Stage left was all drums, a massive completist collection of all toms, bells, hand-drums, rattles, gongs...stage left was a very large collection of various string instruments, including balalaïkas, bouzoukis... Each instruments was rigged with there own pick-up and plugged into their own preamp, stacked in a fridge-size rack-mount unit. Lindley had tweaked each instrument to perfection ( at least 12) That was my dream set-up: Variety and perfect tone. ( For the Geeks: All contact-mics, with a small pinch of chorus, I'd say 5%) Lindley's singing was also surprisingly great and what an superbly awful polyester shirt. ( I actually have my own collection of those too!-) I helped him after the show putting things in their cases so I could touch and smells the magic wands. David was gracious, and pleasant, easy going. I guess the true Spirit of California....ChEars to David Lindley!!!
Thank you Henry. That was a wonderful tribute. !!!
Thank you David Lindley for being David Lindley Slide Guitar Genius .
Thaks for share with us this beutiful homage.
Thanks so much, Henry, for sharing your story, and the clips...RIP Mr. Dave.
Sorry for your loss. Sorry for all of our loss. Happy and joyful for the music, love, and weirdness that David gave us.
Great tribute to a great musician...
Thanks from Madagascar ! It's also a tribute to our national flutist Rakoto Frah (1923-2001)
RIP David Lindley !
I auditioned for you guys in Boston in the late 80s. David wanted to work together but we got busy. My condolences. I admired him.
RIP, Dear David. So sad to hear of your departure.
It just feels SO good to put people in levels, to label their specialness over (or under) others we have been blessed to know. Isn't it just so sweet to critique and evaluate value on levels (one is better than this person and worse than that person...)? What a precious experience. So deep, heartfelt, and productive in inspiring others. A good judgment always drives the boat! Meanwhile....we LOVE David Lindley, wherever the heck he was on the/your tape measure! ❤❤❤
A great Requiem for the great man! Haven't seen this before, splendid!
Devastated 😢Thanks and praises for sharing your story. This is one that I will never get beyond. RIP you blood clot! ❤
Thanks for this tribute, Henry. RIP David Lindley
Henry Kaiser, thanks for posting this great REQUIEM for David, you both shared beautiful journeys. I really appreciated your work. I saw Lindley for the first time in Lorely Festival in 1984.
Thank you David for your music , your incredible feeling with all instruments. A very corner stone for my musical life. Ciao from italy
Wow, just heard about this. We've lost another great musician. RIP David. 😔✌
A deep loss for music, thank you Henry
My guitar teacher Mitch keys Norco taught David Lindley how to play the banjo and he told me that he's got jealous cuz it took them two days to master it
So sad, I knew he was not doing well. Although David took an early flight, his music will continue to sing and speak for him Thanks HK...
The first time I became aware of David Lindley was seeing him with Jackson Browne during the Running on Empty tour. They played in a relatively small venue in Columbus, Ohio, I think it was called Zachariah's at that time. David played guitar, slide guitar, and fiddle. It was very evident that Jackson Browne was "just the singer" and David Lindley was the band leader. When he sang his little falsetto bit in Stay, he just about brought down the house. That show was one of my fondest memories in hundreds of concerts in my life. I didn't know his name at that time, but years later, I remembered him when I discovered the first El Rayo X album. Most people who are taking the time to watch this video probably know that David Lindley was an important session man at Asylum Records, supporting such artists As Jackson Browne, Warren Zevon, and Linda Rondstadt. David was less well known, but in a class of "musicians' musicians" like Ry Cooder, people who can only be truly appreciated by fairly accomplished musicians, and in terms of American Roots music - but he was also a world music, world class musicologist. He was one of those guys for whom stardom would have been an inconvenience - he had more important things to do than be a celebrity. And his sense of humor... Goodness...
So well said. Thank you.
@@msiggsjo4129 Thank YOU! I know others loved David Lindley like I did. We're fortunate to have recordings and videos that preserve his legacy.
@@xray7908 I was at his home once in the early 1980s and was taken aback, when nature called, to find a framed Gold Record Award for the album Late For The Sky hanging right above the commode. That was a memorable moment indeed.
This is a Beautiful Tribute
RIP David Lindley. 🌹 🕊 ♥ 🌎 ✌
RIP David 😢💔☮💜👩💜
Henry..thank you so much for sharing. David's death is truly a communal loss. How quickly a year slides away. Mil mesi.
I was first introduced to David's music in the late '60s, via the third Kaleidoscope album. The 11-minute globetrotting (and exhausting) "Seven-Ate Sweet" still ranks as a masterpiece for me. The album made clear that David saw all the world's musics as equal. I think the only reason he hadn't tried his hand at Tuvan throat-singing was because there weren't any stringed instruments involved.
I had the good fortune to meet David briefly about 20 years ago, at the Ottawa Bluesfest, after seeing a set of his (that I think he partly shared with Kaki King). Later that evening, he hosted a "steel summit" of many of the players at Bluesfest who either held a bar in their hand or tube/pipe/bottleneck on their pinky or ring finger. There was Harry Manx, Bill Frisell with Greg Leisz, the Campbell Brothers, Don Rook and the Henrys, and a few others. Sadly, Sonny Landreth had left earlier in the day, after his set, as had Colin Linden, or else we would have had "the complete set" (as we used to refer to our baseball cards). It was, as David often referred to such things, "too much fun".
Croz , now David..the next decade is going to be tough on so many levels .
Great stuff, just wish the occasion was happier, but thanks for sharing the joy of David Lindley...
That was beautiful. Thank you Henry.
Very beautiful this tribute... Thanks!!!
This is a beautiful tribute, Mr. Kaiser. Thank you immensely. What an incredible musician, Lindley, this purveyor of sympathetic frequencies. We were lucky to have him play anything anywhere, any time!
Thank you, Henry. I'm so very grateful that I had the opportunity to work with David on several occasions over the years. Such a beautiful & remarkable spirit. May his memory be a blessing ❤🙏
Henry , thank you soo much for this rare view of those precious moments, Lindley was my mentor,friend and my inspiration for all things Lap steel. I was introduced to him by my Nadine’s buddy Bernie Larson. He played my 1st Lap Steel at the Roxy with Rayo X then asked me to make him a snakeskin lap steel which I gave him. I am out on tour with Jackson Browne & we miss Lindley very much ! There will never be another soo great!!!
Uniquely talented musician incapable of being placed in a category. A REEL character who I loved listening to.
Thank you, Henry! You have done honor to David and to yourself. I am blessed to have seen you and David perform separately (David at a 1988 El Rayo X show in Boston, and you with your Scandinavian friends at that Johnny D's show that my friend Michael Bloom booked), but alas I never had the pleasure of seeing you and David playing together. I know David was your great friend, and I'm sorry you lost him.
I can count on my fingers the great musicians that have touched my emotions in a way to move me to physical tears. David was/is one of those at the top of the list, in fact. Watching this video brings those emotions to the surface. There is every so often a conduit that can tap into the vibrations of life and the universe. To me, David was one such a conduit. He was a gift that will continue to be appreciated and cherished for years to come. Thank you, Henry, for sharing this lovely collection a videos. And thank you Mr. Dave may you Rest In Polyester good sir. Forever grateful.
So many here have already said it best. Lovely tribute. Deepest sympathies, Mr. Kaiser.
From rockin' the house to soothing the soul this music is like being overwhelmed by a wave of peace, joy and awe for millions of people throughout the world. Personally, David was, is, and forever more shall be will be my 'MAGICAL MUSICAL MUNCHKIN' damn it!
RIP, Mr. Dave. The world is a smaller place without the Prince of Polyester. I've seen him many times live, the last two being very memorable, both with my late brother. We saw him at the Coach House in San Juan Cap in 2005 open for Leo Kottke and the last time at Motorco in Durham NC in the 2010s (first row). What a sweet, happy sound coming from a sweet person. The first time I saw the man play was on TV, way way back. He appeared on some "Saturday Night Special" deal. It was with the El-Rayo X band. He came out in a white and red kimono and played "Mercury Blues" on his stand up flat steel guitar. Rocked very hard. Thanks, Dave, for all the great music, particularly the Friz Fuller songbook.
He was such an adventurous player. I've liked his music going all the way back to the band 'Kaleidoscope'. What a band they were. There's a bit of film with David playing with Terry Reed at the Glastonbury Festival in England. It's mezmerizing stuff. Well, I'd like to think that he's back on Mount Olympus playing for the Gods and eternally healthy and well.
Thank you to you and David for bringing us this “World out of Time”. I still spin these recordings from time to time while I rarely revisit the rock music released then. The mutual admiration is a joy to behold!
I hope Dave's friends will have a tribute concert for him. Those who can't go will be able to get a video of it. That would be nice. Thanks Henry.
Thanks for sharing this! I was first introduced to David’s incredible talent way back when he was playing with Jackson Browne, in the 70s. He was a great player and a good person.
RIP Mr. Lindley. Thank you, Henry for this loving tribute to the one of a kind musician. Not only a great musician, but I have always love his clothes!
Thank you man. I saw him at multiple times at world music festivals back in the day. He was always the highlight of the evening. He played and sat in with huge numbers of bands from everywhere.
Saw David with El Rayo X at The Coach House - it was a great concert.
His polyester wardrobe and collection of guitars, like the Teisco & Silvertone I had, were a hoot: signature. RIP.
Henry, Thank you so very much for sharing. This is an amazing thing to share. Sorry for the loss of your friend.
i saw David in a really small venue, either in Santa Cruz or SLO back in the 80's. it was one of the best shows i have ever seen, and i still think about it to this day. he was a tremendous songwriter, player and singer, and will be sorely missed.
Thanks for the wonderful tribute. One of my favorite musicians of all time.
Thanks for this! David's wonderful light will keep on shining in his recording legacy.
many great sliders. david lindly very special. 💘
I had just heard about his passing this morning and, this is truly a great loss to this World ! About twenty years ago, I had sent David a message about Mandolin Pick Ups. He sent me a very quick reply and told me to check out Grisman. I replied him back with a Thank You. It is funny that , at times of throwing names around the Music Circle and people have no idea of whom David Lindley was. They will say "Never heard of him" I would reply that you most certainly have ! Just listen to Jackson Browne or maybe Dolly Pardon. David was a Stringed Instrument Genius and could make a Teisco Del Rey sound like a Gibson Byrdland ! Henry thank you for this Video and once again I am so sorry for your loss Sir ! And for the entire Universe !
This is exactly it. People would say David who? They didn't know what they were missing.
@@audenough This is true, however they had heard him, it is impossible to not have heard David's playing if you like music and listened to the radio at any time.
Thanks for this lovely tribute Henry. David was one-of-a-kind. Your musical work and travels together are legendary, beautiful and important contributions to music.
What an absolute treat! Thank you Henry. Greetings from Costa Rica by way of Half Moon Bay and prior, Santa Cruz. Best.
