It is the same set up he used when I saw Hot Tuna this past February.

Jack was my first (and deepest) inspiration on bass.

That was a great performance. They've aged like fine wine (while I seem to age like a stinky cheese). cozmik_cowboy Senior Member Username: cozmik_cowboy Post Number: 1016 Registered: 10-2006 Posted on Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - 7:40 am:    They were good together in 1965; the intervening 46 years have only helped. I love watching players with a history together!

It was the electric band with Abe Fogel sitting in on drums, and, of course, Barry Mitterhoff on various stringed things. Jack is playing an Alessandro amp head in that clip. davehouck Moderator Username: davehouck Post Number: 10273 Registered: 5-2002 Posted on Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - 3:47 pm:    Very cool!! Thanks for posting! pauldo Senior Member Username: pauldo Post Number: 637 Registered: 6-2006 Posted on Wednesday, July 13, 2011 - 6:42 pm:    I caught Hot Tuna with Barry when they were in Milwaukee - awe inspiring to be in the presence of two guys who's musical history is such as their's. Barry is no slouch either - I was certainly their to see Jack. It was odd that they did not play the Water Song that night. keith_h Senior Member Username: keith_h Post Number: 1695 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Thursday, July 14, 2011 - 12:12 pm:    When I saw them they had Charlie Musselwhite, Jim Lauderdale and EG Smith playing with them. It was interesting mix of folks to say the least. Keith sonicus Senior Member Username: sonicus Post Number: 1929 Registered: 5-2009 Posted on Thursday, July 14, 2011 - 1:01 pm:    I remember when I used to see Jack play Alembic 72-01 . The sound of HIM and Alembic 72-01 and his rig made a lasting impression on me. Back in the '' day " (early to mid 70's). I remember those Marx Meadows free concerts in the Golden Gate Park in San Francisco where I was standing right in front of the stage and checking out the sound and the gear. Good Times ! ROAR !!!!! and RUMBLE ! crobbins Senior Member Username: crobbins Post Number: 884 Registered: 6-2004 Posted on Thursday, July 14, 2011 - 4:57 pm:    I saw Hot Tuna at the Hollywood Palladium around 1972 when they still had Papa John Creach in the band. They must have played 5 hours straight. What a show. benson_murrensun Senior Member Username: benson_murrensun Post Number: 483 Registered: 5-2007 Posted on Friday, July 22, 2011 - 11:03 am:    And after 14 weeks on the charts, Hot Tuna's "Steady As She Goes" is still there (at #30).
