Monmouth College Fight Song HQ audio

Oh man these folks are crazy heavy...

SUPERB JOB fushpie!! Up until today I had only ever known this tune (for more than 3 decades) from the excellent Casino Lights live album and was a YJ's devotee from album #1. Never knew there was a video of this actual performance. I agree, Ford's guitar playing is totally mesmerising. This audience just had no idea they were witnessing the genesis of a lasting bunch of superior musicians.

Bass – Jimmy Haslip
Drums – Ricky Lawson
Guitar – Robben Ford
Keyboards – Russell Ferrante
Percussion – Lenny Castro

Thanks for your support, the movement like it a lot in france.
Viva la revolucion

I had the pleasure of seeing these guys twice at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach Ca. They loved playing this tune ,,,,Robben insisted. The original line-up of The Yellowjackets

What a line -up . Robben Ford guitar. The late Ricky Lawson drums , Russell Ferrante
Keyboards , and Jimmy Haslip bass

I been paying attention for a long time and I'll be amazed if I ever run across any guitar work as great as this in my lifetime. On a scale of 1 to 10, this is a 100.

when i was young, i always skipped this song because of his "love boat" rythm (to me, in 1983, no offense ;) ). at least 20 years after, i let this song go to its end, and then i considerered myself as a wanker... so much wasted time in forgetting this masterpiece !

Robben's solo face is very similar to Angus Young's. :D

Casino Lights, that introduced me to all of this......was soooooooio good, well mixed and tasty.
Klemmer’s performance was perfect, too!

Wow ... What a brilliant job you did on this video, well done, brought back some great memories of this time when over here in Oz we couldn't get enough of these wonderful players ...

The drummer is awesome!

When Robben is in the zone his licks are tasty as hell, what a player..loved his Yellow jackets stuff

The joy of music !

I love it.

Excellent musicianship rest in peace Mr Ricky Lawson. 🙏

as great as robben solo is ...what gets overlooked is the shuffle pocket by ricky n jimmy on robben's solo

Does anybody knows what amp was he using at this time era? Not dumble I believe.

I often wonder what others in the band thought while RFord was ripping through this, one of the greatest solos of all time!

Wow! Thanks for a pleasure! 👏👏👏

Guitar solo from heaven! Truly the best guitar solo ever!

OHHHH, Strikes twice. 🤩🤩

Awesome Memories. Listened to this tune in the 80s. Goosebumps.

Brilliant guitar solo. The best I've heard live!

One of the best guitar solo ever

my favorite lineup of The Jackets

Robben Ford...... dang..

Agreed on the solo. How he can just keep playing blues over all those changes is astounding to me.

Drew was here ~

Drew was here.

One of the greatest guitar solos ever.

Best guitar solo ever...period!

Why is this song not on streaming services?

Note for note, this solo is every bit as good as Larry Carlton's solo on Steely Dan's "Kid Charlemagne". Outstanding.

One of the best guitar solos ever.

I love the concentrated look of joy on the drummer's face with those horns in background. Such a good vibe.

How old was Robben Ford here? Great solo!

Mr. 335!

Man to have been in the room with this crew! Robben's blazing solo Russell's amazing horn hits and Ricky and Jimmy's relentless drive make this one beyond special!

Roben ford

Robben! Wow!!!

The perfect guitar story...

This is so fantastic.❤❤❤❤❤

It's almost impossible to find words to describe Robben's solo. It's as if his guitar cord were plugged right into his soul! 🎸

I learned this solo when I was 16 and it changed my playing and broke the fretboard open for me. He plays great melodies and licks but his phrasing and feel are just sublime. Robben is a beast!

I love this song and performance and was very honored to have arranged the horn section we overdubbed at Capitol well have the live performance of this at Montreux in 1981. Tommy Lipuma brought me in for several artists on that project, The Jackets, Al Jarreau, Randy Crawford, Larry Carlton and David Sanborn I remember arranging horns for. 
Robben is killing it here as is the whole band. Thoughts and prayers for drummer and great guy Ricky Lawson who is fighting for his life.
