Ford, Robben - Peace On My Mind Lyrics

A sublime performance from all three.

indémodable, j'adore ce son, sa voix...

Comment # 100

His playing here is so superb ...~~!!

You know .... somehow, pieces of music were picked to go out into space on the Voyager missions. IMO, THIS should be out there. If some alien race is going to judge us on what we can do with some simple hardware/words/electronics and 7 minutes—I want it to be THIS!
Holy GOODness this is so right on....

Preach, Master.

I've been fortunate enough to hear/see Robben 6 times... BUT I MISSED THIS! Holy God above—This is just HOT—!!!!!!!

This is the most profound, complete, live performance songs in the past 20 years that we have recorded for us. You can hear Robben's voice break up from the emotion at certain points. I watch this very regularly and always want to drop tears and believe the soul of the song deeply.

Man... Thanks for your honest words. You are not alone.

Very well said

amazing playing by the whole band. good vibes

once more Robben .. absolutely wonderful (and so much one with those guys on drums and bass)

Ι believe this song has something from Joni Mitchel's way of composing. Maybe I' m right, 'cause he was a member of her band...What a song!!!

The drummer is working his ass off! Reminds me of Mr. Moon. Great tones from Robben, as usual. Bass player killin' it. Woo hoo!

That Dumble kicks ass!

With Robben driving—YES it does!

i thought it was al pacino on drums

haha ha Indeed!! haha...

good stuff, woof!

Awesome!!Guthrie Govan learned a lot from this track..i can tell...

Those frets are fucking massive, are they not?

high water mark with Truth.

Awesome.. what an inspiration

Great when he released it and even more important today in light of the lack of peace in way, way too many places.

Thrilling.

ALWAYS THINK OF MARGIE AND DAN WHEN I HEAR THIS MUSIC

Tamra!!! Get well soon!

Rob , why did you rub my- skin ???

Nobody plays like Robben!!!

Nobody! Nobody at all!

Unique.

That guitar amazes me. That feedback drives me crazy , and of course Robben's actually one of the greatest!

He is THE greatest.

Excelente este guitarrista, muito bom ouvir o som desta ótima guitarra.

Beautiful, simply beautiful.

worldpeace , no PNAC no NWO no WO3 less US.

+Jan Rietkraag A version of this on YouTube without political commentary ;)

I believe the bass player is Larry Carlton's son! Beautiful performance. I wonder who wrote this song? Robben is a master artist and I am a long time fan.

Ι believe this song has something from Joni Mitchel's way of composing. Maybe I' m right, 'cause he was a member of her band...What a song!!!

Yes. I saw him in Verviers (Belgium) with his famous father

Gostei muito. Guitarrista e interprete  de excelente qualidade... Robben Ford é grande.

a piece of peace in the space...

hi

can you post it?
thanks

+Paul FENDER
Gm7 - Em7/9 - Bb6 - Bsus7/9
Csus7/9 - Em7/9/11 - Bb6 - Bb6/9 (F9 - G)

+L. Victor thanks

amazing trio!

I thought the bass player looked like Larry Carlton's son... I was right!

The great master Robben in action....and he's such a kind good person...God bless him!!!!!! Thankyou for this seb!!!!!

you said it bro the best tone EVER i thought the tele was it but hands down 335 is the rocket i think this is a great representation of genius, soul ,chordal melodic changes.. WHERE THEY ALL MEET TONE .....Eric might want those settings.. lol

believe it or not... that might not be a 335... he's been known to use a different Gibson that looks like a 335 ... but isn't. 1966 Epiphone Riviera with the Bigsby removed and a hardtail installed.

that's just great .... Yeah, Eric might....

@Phil Schroeder it actually is a 335. The Riviera he plays (an extraordinary guitar)is a burst color...

What's to dislike? Everything is perfect; song, performance, sound, filming.

Robben Ford is truly a master. 100% pure musicality, no showing off at all. Yet his technique and rhythm are immaculate. He developed blues into an artform that no one can replicate. Genius!

A nice point of view. I believe he is the most important blues representative of our time...

Very well said. In my opinion, he is (arguably), the finest jazz/blues player in history.

Crazy sounds! WOW!

Amen, EJ is the man.

Glad to see another EJ fan out there. I just discovered Robben and he reminds me a LOT of EJ or maybe it'e the other way around since Robben's 61. :D

this is akin to a computer system administrator saying "the system has been running so good, haven't had to restart in weeks!" sure enough, she'll go down the next day ;)

Am I the only one getting an Eric Johnson kind of vibe from the dirty tone?

The one and only Robben Ford....Bless him!

That tone reminds me Eric Johnson´s magic Stratocaster.

that's luscious tone right there.

I don't think it can get any better than this...! RF is truly a gifted musician. Oh & that 335 ~ tops!

1966 Epiphone Riviera... not 335... tailpiece changed from a bigsby to a hardtail.

Phil Schroeder Sorry to say Phil, but that is w/o a doubt an ES-335, 68 model IIRC. Check the headstock my friend. Unmistakably Gibson w/ the Crown Inlay....
RF does have/play an Epiphone that’s been modified & has mini-hums in it.

Thanks!

0 dislikes so far.... let's keep it that way, shall we? :)

This guy deserves a statue.
His sound is between the mystical and impossible.

He's one of the most famous users of Dumble amplifiers. Unaffordable, even if you get the chance to buy one. The Ceriatone Overtone Special is the best and most affordable alternative for that Dumblesound, if you're looking for an amp like that. You can also buy the Hermida Audio Zendrive, that's an stombox known as 'Dumble in a box'. That pedal in combination with an Fender-ish amp shall do the trick too! I'm using a great Zendrive Clone and it's really amazing. Very rich and dynamic tone!

In deed

WHATEVER ...this is lyrical! Sometimes poetry happens from a place and maybe just the right time. This would be the equivalent of some moment matching its potential.

I recommend using windows media player or there is an app called ihearit for iphone to slow it down and transcribe it.After you figure it out and have any questions about what he did let me know. Ross

Anyone know how Robben is approaching these chords during his solo? I'm really interested in how hes getting that unique sound over this progression.

@pbmusic100 bridge pickup and bit of tone cut off.. at least that's what guthrie govan said to a video that i watched few weeks ago about robben ford's tone so try it out ;)

Fantastic as always. I love this album. This song in particular has been going through my mind off and on for months... it just pops up. Thanks Robben for the ongoing inspiration. ♥

how does he get that tone?

Dumble Amplifier/ Overdrive Special... obscenely expensive amplification (a few pedals) and the old "it's all in the hands" cliche... the right amount of vibrato on the right note with the right volume setting and the especially right setting on the preamp... poof.. harmonic overdrive. It's taken me years to get this even close to that tone... using a Peavey Transtube amp (see introduction of "Trans Tube Technology" taking NAMM by storm several years ago).... It helps to use a vintage semi hollow body guitar ... but it can be done with a hard body fender product as well...

Robben is one the best live perfomers ever..this is beautiful..fantastic singer songwriter

Zlatan Ibrahimovic on the drums !! :-))

@hjerthinfarkht He seems to instigate the howl (at least the first few times) by brushing the strings with his fingerprint, creating a harmonic that develops into the amp's pushed air. Of course position in front of the amp is critical. He does play a lot louder than I imagined, I saw this tour live and was a little shocked to hear it. But then Toss Panos is a monster on the drums, you'd better bring the heat if you're gonna play over him!

Fabulous ~ As Always Robben Ford plays his Guitar ~!!~

simply beautiful, timeless music...

So beautiful and soulful...

@hjerthinfarkht Semihollow + Dumble!!!!!

I love the sound Robben gets with that 335. Incredible. And that rhythm section is insane. Sex by ear

thanks for posting this!!!!!!!

Crossing The Disinclined

Blind man leading blind:
Can they find another reason
To make us confined?
Perhaps in another season
The pestilence will fall behind,
Nullifying the treason
And crossing the disinclined
Creating an age of reason
For obtaining peace of mind.

Three words!
Dumble Dumble Dumble!

Brilliant! Excellent players, beautiful song and a stunning sound from the cherry 335. Inspiring!

Very nice recording too - good quality and lets us see what we want to at just the right time.
Thanks all.

He's greatest guitar player ever indeed!
thanx for posting!

@jmanalastas
Es 335 is a `68 :)

Brother Robben You're the Best. Francis

@MrVader4000

Dumble OD Special, and that 335 is probably a '64/'65.
