Great bands with great instrumentalists

[Bama fan]

The original Blood, Sweat, and Tears. They were all fantastic.

Pat Metheny Group, 1977, song is San Lorenzo, live in Seattle.

This one is just a magical, beautiful, eargasm from back then:

 

[Bald Husky]

The organist on "A Whiter Shade of Pale"

 

[Hoops66]

A real Ray rocker with a wild band and Ray Charles Singers....the Raylettes.

 

[Hoops66]

I can't stop lovin this tune...and the backups.

 

[Scud49]

Oh yea, BS&T - some great, beautiful, instrumentation on this one:

 

[Scud49]

The original Santana band, don't think I need to say any more...!

 

[FairView]

Just about any song by Yes

 

[f1f1ferrari]

The keyboards especially, but jeez. the whole song....

 

[Aluminny69]

Fats domino put together some great bands. None better than Herb Hardesty on tenor sax.

 

[Aluminny69]

James Burton, guitarist for Ricky Nelson, and later Elvis Presley, was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. Here he is honored by fellow R&R Royalty.

 

[Aluminny69]

Here a great example of James Burton, playing with an all star band put together fr Roy Orbison's Black and White Concert. I swear I saw smoke coming from his guitar.

 

[Aluminny69]

And of course the Great Johnnie Johnson, keyboard player for Chuck Berry is also in the R & R HOF. Here's a rare solo moment from him.

 

[Aluminny69]

Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band - Clarence Clemons, Steve Van Zant, and the rest. In this video they get to individually show of their chops. Amazing to watch them put a song together.

 

[Aluminny69]

Brian Setzer Orchestra What a Sound! How many guitarists can fron a Big Band? Crank it Up.

[rvwsleep]

Possibly the greatest jazz trio in history.
The incomparable Oscar Peterson on piano. Barney Kessel on guitar and Niels-Henning Orsted Pederson on bass.
Mind boggling piano playing.

Look at Nan starting a music thread. . As Boneyarders have figured out by now, I do a lot of R&B songs. I'm going to switch it up a little here and do a jazz band with a great guitar solo in the middle of the song by Steve Laury.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Another Boston song. Tom Schulz don't get enough credit for being an excellent guitar player.

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Another underrated guitar player. Ernie Isley.
