sangbeau i think this park would have to have some really weird but cool features too, like a jellybean fountain, or a path through the woods made out of M&Ms.
sangbeau a park with wolves bears and some porches with fridges full of beer and every kind of stringed instrumenty you could imagine. David Lindley national park. i would live there man :)
from the banks of the Nile to the banks of the Mississippi... all great musicians have the unifying waters of sound and soul flowing through their veins, David Lindley was one of those greats
Just unbelievable. There's a small repair on the bottom of the oud, kind of cute. He led into this song with traditional Nubian minor key stuff, a brilliant way to segue to a blues song.
A sad time…I was fortunate not only to see David play in person, but also to shoot against him competitively. Not many know he was an Olympic class silhouette shooter. A brilliant man in so many aspects. RIP, the Prince of Polyester.💔
This cat does a version of "Papa Was a Rolling Stone", the old Temptations hit. Every time I hear it, my head nearly cracks in half for grinning so hard... Love it!!!
A true artist, never just hammering out a formulaic composition/instrumentation . He plays so many instruments because he has so many ideas he wants to use. An original in every sense of the word!
@@mothersgauri4137 it's on wikipedia. Very sad how our generation are passing on one by one.. I first saw him play at the Apollo in Victoria, London in the early 80's when he was doing a solo tour (with his own band)
@@OnlyVisitingU Yes, thank you. I discovered from that, it was Covid. SO sad. Since my comment, people are coming out everywhere with statements and tributes. I knew him and played with him back in the very early 60's. Not only a genius musician but very special person. Always maintained his integrity. That's rare.
Hey all!! So glad you have been enjoying these clips of David. I was just going thru some files and have found 3 more songs I am currently adding to youtube!! I will also build these into a playlist on my site for a more concert enjoyment feel :-) Appreciate all the comments and please make sure to try and catch David Lindley when he is in your area!!
So how would one get David Lindley to play in my area? Texarkana/East Texas . I have some ideas and I'd pair him up with someone he already knows. ...just a thought, If you know David, someone contact me? THX
David Lindley has been a hero to me since he visited Germany 1982 for the Loreley Rockpalast concert! If anyone has contact to Dave, tell him that this 35 years old concert influenced many European musicians and that he has never been forgotten at the other side of the Atlantic Ocean!
Rest in peace, David. You were always in my top five players since I discovered Kaleidoscope in 1969. I saw you at least a dozen times over the years, and you shook my hand and autographed a Kaleidoscope record for me after a small solo show in North Carolina. Thank you for many years of joy. Thankful we shared time on earth together.
An absolute genius underrated only to those who don't know any better. This man is a national treasure and a stunning complement to another national treasure, Jackson Browne.
Never heard of this guy before but what a talent fellow😎 Got a Oud here think I'm going to try the blues on it ! Absolutely awesome vid 😎👍 Thanks for the inspiration😃
Was blessed with a chance to see him at Fur Peace Ranch years ago. Left in absolute awe! One of the best show’s I’ve ever witnessed. Truly amazing artist. Rest Easy
My thanks to Jai Windig, Jackson Browne, and Warren Zevon for introducing me to this one of a kind virtuoso. Thanks to you for continuing to post and introduce another generation to his incredible musicianship. Kia mihi
Who the heck ever heard of an 11 string FRETLESS oud? David you were a talent that I hope will be treasured in the archive of prolific instrumentalists. Damn son you were the real thing. Thank you for stopping in...
His first successful band was the legendary... 'Kaleidoscope' who wove lots of different styles of music into a heady and mezmerizing psychedelic brew at the beginning. Folk, cajun, arabic, greek, turkish, blues, rock 'n' roll. 'Beacon from Mars' was a favourite of mine all those years ago. There's lots of great stuff on their records. Live they were supposed to be absolutely wonderful and way out there! Unfortunately, we won't see those times again, or musicians like David Lindley.
I saw David play this with J.J. Cale at The Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach back in the early 2000s. One of the best shows EVER!!!! Wish I had a tape of that one. Someone must have patched out of the board that night. It was the 2nd to last Cale show at The Belly Up before he passed. Thanks for sharing!!!
My family have always been fans of this guy . First my older brother in London in late sixties/seventies and me later on with his albums with El Rayo X. I have some friends from way back who supported him and Ry in Melbourne Australia and said how much of a wonderful guy he was.
Saw him with Kaleidoscope in the late 60's in California and the whole band played varied instruments of world variety not the typical guitar and bass drums keyboards... It was a trippy experience. Been a life long fan since..
I was fortunate to see David at the "Golden Bear" in Huntington Beach, California about 1981, I think. He blew us all away with slide guitar and his unique vocals, playing mainly songs from his album "El Rayo X". Long live David Lindley.
After nearly 40 years and 25 live shows, I'm still not tired of Mr. Dave. God bless him and please live & play another 50 years, sir. Please please please.
25 shows wow! Lucky you! I think I've seen him 4 or 5 times. Love Mr. Dave. His last tour was interrupted by Covid. I hope he's doing well and I hope to see him again. Can't wait to hear what he's been up to!
@@richardgross3794 hey... No one here gets out alive, right? I will enjoy his music now on CD & mp3 and hope to meet him in Heaven one day. I'm honored to have known him a little bit. He's a wonderful gentleman. But yeah, brother. He's dead, but he's not gone. Not totally.
When Jackson Brown first came out I was drawn to the slide guitar work. Picked up a 32 Rick snd never looked back. I learned those tunes note for note. Along the way I picked up Dobro and Pedal Steel. I'm 71 now and he still surprises me, and I just keep learning.
A deep bow to David Lindley, multi-instrumentalist and musician extraordinaire, side-man to many other talented musicians/composers and a great composer and performer in his own right. Upon his passing we are left with a huge void in the music world, one difficult to fill, to say the least. May your journey be filled with beautiful music David Lindley. You will be missed. 🙏 💜
I saw him a few days after this performance. We talked after the show about one of his violin improvs during Jackson Browne's 1976-77 tour. "Jackson kept telling me to play longer."
R.I.P. (March 21, 1944 - March 3, 2023) Your talent on all types of strings will be missed along with the brightly colored shirts that were his trademark.
Of course in his best polyester:) Incredible underrated musician, was so fortunate to see him with El Rayo X and with Wally, Thank you so much for posting, truly appreciated!
Lived in Claremont 1973 to 1980. High school, college years. Mr Dave was a legend there;then. Guitar Store. Folk Music Center. Always guys in there, playing instruments... Banjos dulcimers mandolins fiddles sitars.. Usually that guy was Mr. Lindsey. Used to pedal past his house, wave
A legend in music and has ways been a musical idle playing his drum or bongo rhytemand melody for his fans over the world..lyrics are great..phenomenal
My first concert was Jackson Brown in 1977 at MPP, where Jackson and David recorded Stay/ the Load Out. Was hooked then, been amazed by this man since. From El Rayo Ex, to his solo tours, to the absolute magic he created with Hani Naser, he was always fresh and funny! And those shoes 👞 !!!!!!
David is just about the most under-appreciated musical genius on EARTH. I've seen him many times, alone and in other people's bands, and it still isn't enough. Get after it, Mr. Lindley. What would Jackson Browne do without you? Not much.
The man's a national treasure. Can we have him made into a park or something? Like, a really big park with bears and wolves.
sangbeau I'm all in with this. It's perfect!
sangbeau Wonderful suggestion! :-o)
sangbeau i think this park would have to have some really weird but cool features too, like a jellybean fountain, or a path through the woods made out of M&Ms.
sangbeau a park with wolves bears and some porches with fridges full of beer and every kind of stringed instrumenty you could imagine. David Lindley national park. i would live there man :)
+sangbeau And you enter the park dancing backwards into your own ear.
Rest in Peace David Lindley. 3 March 2023
RIP David Lindley, who was a purveyor of basically every string instrument known to man.
A purveyor? You mean he sold stringed instruments for a living?
@@judeirwin2222 and we bought up every last note! :))
Goddammit, he died? He did. Crap. I wonder if Ry ever gave him all those guitars back.
@@judeirwin2222 We can't expect Americans to be literate anymore.
@@judeirwin2222 I think he means panderer, because nothing says Oud like a Chinese bear vender.
from the banks of the Nile to the banks of the Mississippi...
all great musicians have the unifying waters of sound and soul flowing through their veins,
David Lindley was one of those greats
One of the absolutely greatests...😇✌👍👍👍
I remember his great slide licks on Jackson Browne songs that thrilled me in my teen years.
His falsetto on 'stay'. Love those songs.
Just unbelievable. There's a small repair on the bottom of the oud, kind of cute. He led into this song with traditional Nubian minor key stuff, a brilliant way to segue to a blues song.
In very VERY loving memory of Mr. David Lindley (1944 - 2023 R.I.P. Gone but NOT forgotten).
A sad time…I was fortunate not only to see David play in person, but also to shoot against him competitively. Not many know he was an Olympic class silhouette shooter. A brilliant man in so many aspects. RIP, the Prince of Polyester.💔
RIP David...thank you for your artistry.
There isn't a stringed instrument ever made that this man can't play - a master, he and Ry Cooder.
allright
Yes
The man, the master, the king of polyester!
Throw in Roy Clark and you have my vote.
I would suggest the late, great Roy Clark as the gold standard.
Billy Strings is no slouch either.
This cat does a version of "Papa Was a Rolling Stone", the old Temptations hit. Every time I hear it, my head nearly cracks in half for grinning so hard... Love it!!!
Cat????????????????/
@@childofthe60s100
Yup, he is definitely a cat!
Finest kind!
his playing made the world a more beautiful place.
What an amazing amalgamation of musical styles and sounds. Baroque meets bluegrass classic rock. ❤
I have an oud. Never though of playing blues on it. Brilliant!
A true artist, never just hammering out a formulaic composition/instrumentation . He plays so many instruments because he has so many ideas he wants to use. An original in every sense of the word!
RIP David. Your music will live on forever!
Yes. Sad news. May he play his music to the Gods.
Sorry to be out of the loop, but he died??? Can you give more info please??? Thanks

He described it as a Turkish Ude at the concerts I saw him with it, ( many).

Seriously he could make a toothbrush sound good. What a master 👏
Or even a sledge hammer
Rest easy David, thanks for all the amazing music😢
Sad news today, the loss of a true master. RIP
RIP man, you were the best. You inspired me and were the soundtrack to S much that was beautiful in my life.
Was blessed with a chance to see him at Fur Peace Ranch years ago. Left in absolute awe! One of the best show’s I’ve ever witnessed. Truly amazing artist. Rest Easy
Lindley’s solos in “down in the mall” were absolutely incredible... Zevon surrounded himself with amazing musicians
RIP Mr Lindley.

The man who made so many other men Famous
David Lindley is without doubt and beyond comparison, the most talented stringed instrument musician that ever lived.
God bless Mr. Lindley
I met Lindley once. Great and friendly man. Willing to to talk to any amateur musician. Willing to impart knowledge. Thank you David!
G*ddamn if Lindley doesn't just keep getting better year after year. The man stands alone.
+quartzimaging don't get me wrong, David is great, but Steve Howe is right up there too;0)

Just came across this. wonderful & fascinating!
I just can’t imagine how much patience and love for music it must take to master so many types of stringed instruments.
Saw him with Kaleidoscope in the late 60's in California and the whole band played varied instruments of world variety not the typical guitar and bass drums keyboards... It was a trippy experience. Been a life long fan since..

this is the most amazing piece of music I have discovered in like 15 years . WOW. What an incredible genius!
Just live forever, the world needs this music.
When Jackson Brown first came out I was drawn to the slide guitar work. Picked up a 32 Rick snd never looked back. I learned those tunes note for note. Along the way I picked up Dobro and Pedal Steel. I'm 71 now and he still surprises me, and I just keep learning.
I've seen David Lindley 5 times live. He played Twist & Shout as an encore request for me and Signed my copy of his CD!
This is an epic performance, David was a master of his craft.

You're eloquent in your Eulogy. I could not agree more or add anything more to it than he changed my life, too.
One of the greatest Musicians all the time!!!
Faaaaaantastic!!!!!
Thank you!
A great version of a great song.
Shine on David Lindley.
I saw him a few days after this performance. We talked after the show about one of his violin improvs during Jackson Browne's 1976-77 tour. "Jackson kept telling me to play longer."
I wasn't aware of what David Lindley has done in the last three decades. I still like his playing. He's young at heart. Congratulations!
這個大師幾乎是我聽過現代最厲害的幾個草根籃調大師之一了
Ain't nobody who don't love Mr. Dave.
I found him late, but at least I found him.
David :Th and GE. Smith have given me a great musical education...
Travel well the King Of Polyester
Oh man that was one of the most amazing stringed instrument performances I've ever seen. RIP David.
He is just one of the best! Great feel, great sund, great lesson for all listen and soak up that feel.
REAL! Wow he is marvellous at playing and singing!
Thank you for uploading this and for your description too! 🙌✨
May this national treasure rest in peace. It's a sad day, but the music lives on. 3/3/23
Wouhhhwww!
David an Ry are real guitar Gods!
That’s a Oud. My late father played this beautiful instrument.
Best version of this song ever...he captures it completely .
What an honor to see this performance!
Hello Toni..
Few can think outside the box as tastefully as he
Rest in peace to this amazing musical master. His immense legacy will NEVER be forgotten. ❤
I saw him live some decades ago - it was great music but also funny and heart-warming. RIP !

When did the ratings come out?
Could listen for hours, true genius
This was one of my favorite tunes while working production in an electrical supplier. Sweet, deserted factory I could sing along in and bother no one.

I know that I'm late to the party but I just discovered your posts. Thank you! Lindley is so fucking brilliant!
Yes! We had the same Flamenco guitar teacher, Henri Bison. I had the privilege to meet him. He could play any instrument and sing!
We play reggae everyday. Thanks Mr Dave. We love it,and you 💞🚬
I heard Mercury Blues in a venue in Stockholm around when that LP came. I was knocked to the floor, literally.
