Jun 10, 2008 - Ry Cooder is a little reclusive. His reasons for taking off the videos may not have to do with royalties. He was blinded in one eye as a four year old boy. He may be sensitive about that. Anyway, I'm very glad to see him play because I just love his music and the way he supports other musicians.

Jun 23, 2008 - Does anyone know where to buy the Ry videos that are here?

Jun 24, 2008 - Absolutely superb! Probably as close as I will get to seeing the legend live. Presumably from the 1987 concert?

Jun 29, 2008 - thank God he ditched those Castro apologists from that Buena Vista Social Club! Obama'll get that hell hole invaded like the Rupublican pussys shoulda done years ago and restore naked capitalism to the grateful people of that sorry island. Not as funky as the Jim Keltner record version but it'll do mf...

Jul 7, 2008 - What in the hell are these anti-commie and anti-Ry nutjobs doing watching these videos for? Is their DNA twisted the wrong way? Are they incontinent or bowel obstructed?

clean3 Says:

Aug 5, 2008 - Er..I think that's been tried before Typper ol fruit without much success. The most depressing part of it is Cooder's America has all but vanished, leaving the kind of oafish braying you display to pack that hell-bound handbasket.

caraphyllis Says:

Aug 13, 2008 - Ry has one eye. He's not blind.

caraphyllis Says:

Aug 13, 2008 - The world's best back-up singers. Almost an insult to call them that, they're so good.

amcculler Says:

Aug 14, 2008 - Ry is and always has been one of the smartest and insightful musicians and educators I've ever met! The end!!!!!

Nov 7, 2008 - I wish the video were available on DVD; I would buy it in a heartbeat. I would be afraid to show my friends as it would obviate how I suck by comparison. Thanks for postin mbroder and thank you Ry for all the spectacular musical genius.

ffrin Says:

Nov 12, 2008 - I saw Ry Cooder and these singers (with John Hiatt) in London in 1980 and next day my face HURT from smiling so much, I'll never forget it.

missomurphy Says:

Nov 15, 2008 - I saw them in London too, but I couldn't remember what year it was,so thanks for reminding me. Fabulous night, I wish he still toured. Barack should get him to play at the inauguration: he's done so much for American music.
