John Scofield speaks another language. Amazing!

I grow up with Spectrum and its so cool to see these guys honoring it. Billy and Leland, and Tommy❤

Recently saw a video of Leland Sklar talking about the initial recording of this piece and how the most difficult part is just sticking to the basic groove throughout the entire piece! He mentioned that it's (relatively) easy to toss in frills on the bass line, but to keep that solid groove the whole time without break is tough as hell!

Imagine being able to play anything you want, in any setting, on the guitar. That's John Scofield. There just are no more words for the guy. And he's been doing it for 50 years now. Mind-boggling...

I had to remember to keep breathing while i was listening to him solo....holy shit....no words!

[brianriley]

Scofield is some kind of otherworldly entity. He needs no words, he speaks fluent guitarineze, conveying heaping helpings of unspoken musical truths in a mosaic of rock blues and jazz. Waren comes in perfectly like usual slowly tugging us back to earth with his exquisitely timed soulful riffing. This is a master work, bridging a multitude of styles and techniques by two of my favorite guitarists. Thanks LTFP for posting and thanks to Scofield and the Mule.

Holy Cow ….I NEVER thought I’d see Gov’t Mule doing jazz fusion….and it was GREAT!

[Blues-harmonica]

Sco came to play with his old friend Warren. Sco enjoy that and Warren too. Two great friends!🤩😍 Can't compare Warren to anyone and the same for Sco!❤

Great upload saw John Scofield play with Billy Cobham Late Great George Duke and Alphonso Johnson in 76 Super show Great Guitarist year later saw another Super Guitarist late Great Jeff Beck with Billy Cobham Jan Hammer and Alphonso Johnson i love Jazz Fusion Prog Rock

[amancu]

Warren has to be really brave to share the stage with an absolute giant like Scofield. I can't imagine too many rock-blues guitarists doing the same and be able to survive like he did.

Likely one of the top % of Music, Videos, and Performances ever made.

Between Sco Mule and that rotating Leslie, I'm spaced. Sco, Ford and Holdsworth tone. Love it.

[susanreed]

Within 15 seconds of this I thought "oh crap this is gonna be good "

[reasonsreasonably]

That Scofield solo was so nuanced and fluent. Heard so many phrases I had heard and hadn't heard before put together in such a joyful way. Got to love it! True mastery.

Scofield just rips it into pieces!!! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏

These Musicians are all brilliant, no question. But John Scofield's solo is so outstanding. One of the best solos I ever experienced. And to perform this live, just improvising ...oh man. I play the guitar, too, and could live a thousand years practicing and learning and never could come even close. His infinite vocabular of scales and tones, fluently performed out of nowhere with bunches of world class tone, topping one another. And always recognizable Scofield style. He ist one of the Greats at his best. Could watch this forever.
