It took me a few moments to realise it was NOT that Led Zeppelin song with a very similar guitar in the intro. I can't think of the title right now.

Hot Tuna swept through Santa Cruz a few months ago, so happy to see Jack again!

The encore: Water Song !!

Ho boy, was I ecstatic! My GF, not knowing their catalogue, wasn't quite sure why I was jumping up and down, until she got a drift of the song after the first couple of measures.

Man, that semi-hollow bass, we lovin' it! And Jorma's custom Martin, those boys know sound. :-)

Go Jorma! I've loved this song ever since hearing it when it first came out. So pure, clean, a good spirit to it.

Water Song, the ultimate song for my running play list while I run the Carmel/Big Sur Coast. Magical, transformative! I heard this in my teens and in my early 50's, still one of the most beautiful transcendental pieces ever. Beautiful combination of a driving base and uplifting rythym melody. LOVE IT!

Saw them in the Hershey Park Arena with Papa John. Dang, what a show. Saw Starship shortly thereafter. Thought the best part of the Airplane left to HT.

I saw HT in Houston. JC just kinda semi-sqautted, cranked up that Alembic base and elevated the frickin' stage. I'll never forget it.

As good as he was, Jorma was always obscured by Hendrix, Clapton, etc. And Jack Casady was just one awesome R&R bassist, maybe THE best. These Hot Tuna albums have way more than their share of virtuoso musicianship (Poppa John Creech was no slouch, either).

I first heard this on now-defunct WDBS-FM (the brilliant Duke University student-run station) back in 1972. Wonderful then, more wonderful now!

Woah, dude! I remember WDBS very fondly! I even sorta knew "Doctor Dave" Searles and the rest of the crew from the mid- to late-70s!

Great station and great people - them was the days!
