Your perfectly right Tommy ! This is the way pedal steel should be played. Do you remember the name of the guitar player that evening? I want to complete the description of this monumental video with the band crew!
This is pedal steel guitar royalty! Two of the best to ever sit behind a steel guitar. Also, besides being master level musicians, both are among the most gracious, genuinely nice people you could ever hope to meet. Thanks for sharing this video.
A wonderful rhythm section backing up Lloyd and Tommy. I love the string bass that has been almost totally pushed out of modern country today. What they're doing sounds very simple, and in terms of notes and time that's exactly right. However --- as any bass player/drummer/serious country musician knows, in order to play with such beautiful tone, locked-in perfect time and balance, and perfectly placed fills and dynamics to support the lead instruments and a vocalist ---- you have to be a really good musician with many years of playing and recording experience. Making it sound easy is really hard!
Keep those Pedal Steel Guitars whining, it just fills my Heart with great joy hearin' them strings bellowin' out there it's the Sweetness to Great Country Songs.
That was amazing! So good to hear them play without any voices. The band was super as well. Nice to see a real bass player because it is becoming rare today.
Tommy I remember a day when you dreamed of sitting beside Lloyd Green and playing like that. But you've earned it. If your dad were still with us, you wouldn't be able to pluck the peacock feathers from him. I'm sure he is looking down and is soooo proud of you. Love ya buddy. I guess I should have continued playing myself. You know me by mark.
The pedal steel guitar is an instrument of precise co-ordination using both hands both knees and both feet, the skill that these two great players showed is phenomenal, Lloyds bar slants were a joy to watch.......good camera work too, showing the pedal and knee lever work which is 50% of the playing of this instrument . Superb video in every sense.
Now, this IS what Country Music Should Sound like. I knew up in the '40s & '50s and I Remember this kind of Music SO Well. I quit Country Music back a number of years ago with the "Modern Style" BS that came out the Wanna-Be Country. This video was S0 enjoyable to me dang........
mr lloyd and tommy are like cream and sugar they make a wonderful cup of music and talent i could listen to them for hours as long as their here they will play country music some day i hope to talk to them my grand father last name was green the green family were from tennessee ivan from illinois.
The pedal steel guitar has evolved from a six string lap steel from Hawaii into a spectaculaly beautiful musical instrument that any form of music can be played; I know of no nother musical instrument that has become what the pedal steel has. Lloyd and Tommy prove how majestic the pedal steel sounds when a master player is playing one. Awesome!
Such an angelical and nostalgic sound; hardly ever heard. Are we that ignorant not to notice or is it something or someone establlshing an impediment on purpose???? Steel guitars forever! May it do explode in popularity soon!!!!!!😇Happy Trails!
Lloyd's the king of 3 and 4…....that's all you need.. He is one of the in the business. More sessions than anyone in his day I had dinner with him a few years ago and he would share anything with you. Off course Paul and Tommy are still the best on this decade......how lucky to get to grow up playing sessions for a living.... Green is the smoothie cat in town.......I have own three Sho buds and they are such a beautiful design guitar.......But I love my MSA.........BUD CSRTER BUILT IT FOR ME
Wow.... fantastic.... it doesn't get any better than this. Two of the greatest steel players of all time. For me, Lloyd Green is more than just a steel player, he's an all-round great musician.
My wife and I have always loved Lloyd Green's great steel playing since hearing him live at the St. Louis steel convention, many years ago. I have played electric country bass since 1968 and continue playing in a band to this date. I just love good steel playing, especially Lloyd's outstand music!
Twenty six years ago I bought my first steel i thought I was going to take it out of the case and start playing songs right away no it’s doesnt work that away you got to practice thank you Lloyd and Tommy what a great job
This is pure heaven! I just love the _good_ _old_ songs played by these pedal steel guitar virtuosos! Patsy Cline's "I Fall to Pieces" is especially nostalgic to me... The story has to do with my hearing her voice floating out of a Mainland Chinese college dorm window about 40 years ago... And then I fell to pieces.
Thanks so much for a wonderful concert of E9. Lloyd and Tommy do a fine job together, and their backup is right on. The unrehearsed nature and spontaneity of the program adds to its charm.
Unrehearsed ! .. Its played very well ... Pedal steel and lap steel .. will ease my mind unlike any other thing. Thank you gentleman. I can wear my cowboy hat and feel ok with that at 72, in the suburbs ... Not a cow around.
I just love these songs played in E 9th by Lloyd Green and Tommy White. The stand up bass adds a special beat too and the drums too! Exellent musicianship. Fast or slow I love the sound. Love, love, love!
Don't know how many times I watched this, a fantastic show. I first met Lloyd in Nashville 1975, then in London, England 1977, and also here in Sweden. Not only a great steelplayer, also a wonderful person. Taking the time to spend a few hours with this crazy steel-loving Swede. A few words about Tommy White, he is also a great player, and a great person.
Thank you Fabio. I keep this in my library, and play it once in a while. At 73, these real country musicians take me back to my youth. The steele is country.
Lloyd Green played lead steel guitar on Charley Prides live album at Panther Hall. The word Phenomenal doesn't say enough good about Lloyds playing steel.
Steel guys of course are great, especiallly when they play unisons and harmonies!! But the rhythm guys are a machine! WOW! And "The Garden" was just wonderful!!

They complement each other and have the experience to fade perfectly and bow out for the other, only to charge back into it seamlessly. None of it sounds contrived and could only be better had I been present. Drawing emotions on a scale so right I’m stunned and remain that way, as if I’m sitting in the purple cow in Bandera, Texas on a Saturday nite. Thank you so much.
Fantastic' just beautiful. The steels make and bring country music to life and touches the soul like no other instrument'... Love it two pros at work...
Both need a very good ear and have to operate the instrument with extreme precision to synchronize their playing the way they do! It's perfect and the results are Brilliant! Thank You for this Upload!
videos like this make me soo happy for just band stuff. the drummer is keeping time hes not watching anything. the stand up bass guy is watching pedal steel for the key changes and both the pedal steel guys are looking back and forth to one another bouncing back and forth ideas. its amazing
I love how Tommy keeps looking over at Lloyd and you can see by the look on his face he's thinking "F---, I wish I'd played that..." and "Damn, that was nice..."
Eureka! I have found it! The Golden Nugget of recorded music that puts my soul to rest. Exquisite in every note. To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin; " An Evening of E9 Lloyd Green and Tommy White" is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. Thank you gentlemen, including the drummer , guitar player and bass player, you have helped to save my life.
I've been a steel guitar nut ever since I heard the instrument on a Hank Williams record. Began to learn of Lloyd Green doing work with Charley Pride. This hour long video is better than an LP - no frilly background vocals to spoil the music or other stuff. Just perfect raw steel music. I was watching their picking hands on one of the tunes - literally they were picking in sync - enjoy watching the masters do their thing. Whoever got to see this in person - that must have been a special evening. The Pick Me Up On Your Way Down reminds me of the Steel Guitars of the Grand Ole Opry - three of them playing together almost sounding like a symphony. Did they ever do another gig together like this? I never went beyond the lap steel or dobro. But this instrument and the sound we hear in this video seem to be outlawed in today's country music. I am in awe with these guys. Bravo! Thanks for this video. Listening to their chat after the video - Tommy said it was unrehearsed!!!
This will be forever remembered as Pedal Steel Guitar must hear!
Your perfectly right Tommy ! This is the way pedal steel should be played. Do you remember the name of the guitar player that evening? I want to complete the description of this monumental video with the band crew!
Love it.
This is pedal steel guitar royalty! Two of the best to ever sit behind a steel guitar. Also, besides being master level musicians, both are among the most gracious, genuinely nice people you could ever hope to meet. Thanks for sharing this video.
Don't forget Jeff Baxter (Skunk). TOP NOTCH TOO!
Artists are either the nicest most empathetic humble people or the complete opposite lol
A wonderful rhythm section backing up Lloyd and Tommy. I love the string bass that has been almost totally pushed out of modern country today.

SWEET BOUQUET SONG OF GENE WATSON. thanks so much LLOYD GREEN❤
That was amazing! So good to hear them play without any voices. The band was super as well. Nice to see a real bass player because it is becoming rare today.
I agree on bass player. Dennis Crouch is my favorite in country sessions
All you country drum players listen to the drummer Awsome!!!!!
Yes, no one like Dennis!
Tommy I remember a day when you dreamed of sitting beside Lloyd Green and playing like that. But you've earned it. If your dad were still with us, you wouldn't be able to pluck the peacock feathers from him. I'm sure he is looking down and is soooo proud of you. Love ya buddy.

Superb video in every sense.
I really like Lloyd Green's playing, phrasing, and overall musicality.
This is a piece of steel guitar history. 2 masters of different era’s.
Now, this IS what Country Music Should Sound like. I knew up in the '40s & '50s and I Remember this kind of Music SO Well. I quit Country Music back a number of years ago with the "Modern Style" BS that came out the Wanna-Be Country. This video was S0 enjoyable to me dang........

They played so well together. Very very nice 👍
Makes me shed tears as love it so much.
Twenty six years ago I bought my first steel i thought I was going to take it out of the case and start playing songs right away no it’s doesnt work that away you got to practice thank you Lloyd and Tommy what a great job
Exquisitely beautiful, and in such good taste, so refined. It’s so valuable to hear two masters take turns on the same song.
So glad this was recorded. The phrasing is like no other. Just fantastic.
Just breathtaking playing by two of the greatest steel players!
There's nothing on this planet that sounds as good as a well-played pedal steel, and you gentlemen knocked it out of the park!!😍🎵🎶
Brought UP on 'THE SOUND' MisU DAD I HOPE I WILL KEEP YOUR LEGACY!!!LUV
what Tommy White does at 47:03 completely MELTS me
This is pure heaven! I just love the _good_ _old_ songs played by these pedal steel guitar virtuosos! Patsy Cline's "I Fall to Pieces" is especially nostalgic to me...

The bass player is Dennis Crouch that is also known as "the astronaut"
Truly beautiful

I think I just went to heaven. What a heavenly sound.
Something to listen to, over and over, again and again.
What kind of sorcery is this?! Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful and the warmest bath I’ve taken in a long, long time.

Your welcome !
Just amazing playing.... and I believe I see some old Peavey Session/Nashville type amps in the background.... the best
I just love watching how two masters can be so impressed by each other's own little tricks.
Pedal steel school right there. Thank you so much for posting!
Lap & Steel guitar, Dobro guitar and 5-string banjo. My favorite sting instruments in no particular order.
Mine too.
Beyond compare. Nothing else like it. Thank you.
Great musicians are almost always humble and think the other guy is a better player than they are.
Amazing steel guitar players.. Master class

Thanks Fabio ❤
