One of my all time favorite albums

 

[terrapin]

Electric Tuna at their best!!!

 

[Clifford-D]

Kimock is going to tour with Hot Tuna this summer

that will be great

 

[fenderball]

great album for sure...

have enjoyed that one for many many years

just caught 'Tuna a couple of weeks ago
one of my all-time favorite musical entities
Jorma and Jack have one of the deepest grooves on the planet
guess playing together for half a century helps a bit

Ya I think is has been about that long!

Burgers, and also Quah was another gem...that was just Jorma I think. Tuna with Kimock should be good!

 

[Jerry Shaw]

For sure a beautiful song. There used to be (likely still is) a vid of Jorma explaining exactly how to play it - I don't think it's standard tuning.

Wow, that's going to be a must see!!!!

I love Burgers too. Phosphorescent Rat might be my fave of theirs though.

Beautiful song. I remember the original LP had a vivid magenta inner sleeve that nearly sucked the eyeballs out of your head.

I believe Water Song is in open G.

this was/is killer.

thanks for reminding me!

For electric guitar instrumentals, "Sunny Day Strut" is great.

Mandolinist Barry Mitterrhof with Tuna is superb!

 

[Tele71]

Thanks for posting this. Yes there is a video of Jorma explaining how to play it. I will watch and learn it this evening after work. Forgot how good a tune this is. Thanks again.

Another great part of this album is the cover shot. Classic. But HT has so many great cover art's.

 

[OOG]

Mandolinist Barry Mitterrhof with Tuna is superb!

Yes he is
Great player and a perfect fit for HT
funny thing though
the other night, it kept feeling like Barry was rushing
He wasn't
it's just that Jorma & Jack had their groove locked down so tight that Barry was constantly pushing
after all
He is the youngster of the group

+1 for this record, has some great stuff on it! Love the tune in the OP's post, Sea Child was a big one for me too....

 

[leftybill]

That album was a classic. What ever happened to Papa John? Obviously, he has passed on.
