The tone is so clean it can kill 99.99 percent of germs

@dipperstan8226

Guys stop asking if people are still listening to this because we NEVER stopped.

@simplecovers4164

This is by far, the best version of Manhattan. Pure Gold.

@LWT1331

Better than the studio version. Credit to the bass player and drummer. They compliment Johnson's performance perfectly.

@GustiDevitto

the most underrated bassist of entire G3 universe. He killing it, the best Manhattan version ever.

@DS-of6ui

His guitar leads are cleaner than my house.....what a perfectionist.....

@leventgiden8210

this is the tender surrender of eric johnson

@benparker-guitartutor5515

I remember being into Satriani, Malmsteen and Vai as a teen. Then I watched this G3 performance with Eric and it changed me. Now As a nearly 40 year old, with a music degree in jazz and a full-time music teaching job, it's a bit harder to knock my socks off. But this guy and this particular performance continues to melt my face every time I hear it, without fail. The most unique lead sound on a strat I've ever heard. Not to mention the most considered melodies. The more you learn, the more you can appreciate Eric.

@DanielFurtado

1:08 The most beautiful pentatonic lick in history

@sugibas2272

That slap on the bass makes this song even better, simply the best version of this song

@omercandogrul8134

this is top level guitar playing.

@ben_tyreman

I first heard this age 15 now 35, it still gets me every time, he's a genius, nobody else sounds like him.

@Sphereal

Most of us guitar players can only dream of ever achieving such a level of performance.

@Cowasoggy

the quality of the recording, the fat bass sound, creamy guitar, crispy drums.....this is one of the best live recordings I've ever heard in my life

@cal_blac

Eric Johnson rides a near perfect balance in his playing... he’ll shred your face off... and be downright polite in doing so. EJ forever!

@EricBlackmonGuitar

Killer guitar work by Eric and Roscoe is just CRUISIN' on the bass. Magnificent!

@mikemccartneyable

I know Eric is the focus here ...but man ...those bass lines are just amazing!!!

@canadawestbushcraft7682

The speed of Johnsons soloing along with the accuracy, timing, tone, he’s just flawless

@user-te3qq1rb7u

Players like Eric are rare. He and guys like Robben Ford play in a way that is very deliberate and calculated while also managing not to micromanage the natural flow out of the riffs. I’m not sure if that makes sense but that’s the best way I can put it. Played beautifully and squeaky clean without sounding sterile.

@Hagg-o-tron

I'm a guitarist. I'm so surprised that there aren't more comments praising the rhythm section. We all know Eric is a genius. But that rhythm section is so locked in and serving the music perfectly
