Best country rock musicians ever, and at their exact prime. Lee is incredible. But one thing everyone should know, this was Gram Parson's would-have-been band if he had lived. He wrote this song. He and Emmy Lou could have been the greatest duo, but really-really tragically he OD'ed right before this. Emmy Lou took over like Dickie Betts taking over for Duane Allman, they were both equally great. They probably would have gotten married too if Gram had kicked the habit and lived. Heroin killed both Duane and Gram plus many others. Stay away from it. But thank God for for Emmy Lou, and Dickie Betts too.
I love your comment….your insight is spot on. Gram was on the cusp of greatness when he passed away. Watching this makes one think of how fabulous it would have been if he didn’t die in 1973. Emmy Lou was by far the best person to carry on and share his legacy. X
She’s still beautiful and talented today. She also still performs. I saw back in November. She had Verlon Thompson and Shawn Camp(both were in Guy Clark’s band) playing with her that night. The whole show was the three of them playing Guy Clark songs. It was amazing.
Say what you want - Albert Lee was "smokin it" - the man is a marvel with a guitar - - sings darned well and plays keys really good as well. Gotta love the man - he is unpretentious - easy to get along with and a real gentleman~!
Warren Wright. What’s not to say? Albert Lee and Eric Clapton were at Chas and Daves Christmas party BBC 1982. It was rumoured that bbc supplied the Beer!!
This was jaw dropping, life changing stuff back in 77 and it still is today! the reason that ELH always has such super human musicians is that she herself is a relentless force of nature. its only natural that they would want to be in on this. Emmylou didnt hire no bums. I also read that she used to pay these guys out of her own pocket when Warner Brothers was too cheap to pick up the tab in the early days. what a righteous, stand up thing to do! Art wins out over greed1 OH HELL YES!!! ROCK ON!
Honestly, I watch Every type of musical performance on you tube for years. I’m a big classic rock and Led Zeppelin fan. I dint Think I have Ever seen a better live performance than this. The singing and guitar is just spectacular.
Albert Lee is, without a doubt, my all time favourite guitarist. All those flash heavy rock/metal players just fade into insignificance, compared to Albert. This is how it's done!
great you appreciate him...great he is your favourite...but there many "heavy Metal" guitarists who have serious musical and guitar chops and Albert Lee would be the first say so...why make that kind of comparison...it's kind of foolish.
Na-aah - she realized that there was(Gasp!) too many guitars goin', and she wisely got out of the way. This is an example of why she's consistently had the best musicians in her band - she serves the song while putting on a good show. After a long time, she put the Hot Band behind her and went with a smaller group. But she's always got a great band. She knows that people expect it from her; she's worked hard for her reputation for always putting on a good show. But THAT'S what she's after, even more than applause. This is why she always seems uninterested in adulation or compliments on her looks - that's not why she's there. And so she always works hard, and her band works hard to back her up the best that they can, and everyone wins. It's too bad that it's unlikely that any young singer will come along with her values(even if the singer could match her gifts) - the world has just changed too much, and people are all so different today. Time does, as the song says, go past like a hurricane. At least we've got these cool old videos; Albert is just great on this one, one of Gram's that's always been a song for the band to stretch out on.
I've been a fan of Albert Lee since the way back in the Heads Hands and Feet days (and of course, always a big fan of Emmylou's) and I STILL can't get used to how stunning his playing is. Every time I see him I am left speechless all over again. It's like I can't trust my memory of the last time I saw him, and start to think that his playing can't POSSIBLY be as amazing as I remember... but it is. And perhaps, if possible, even better each time. What an incredible talent.
Man that’s what i was wanting to say but mine came out as some unimportant stupid shit cause i was still dumbfounded. Kinda dazed and confussed. But you wrapped it up in a nutshell. Well said!
Who are the 5 people that gave this a thumbs down? I've heard that Emmylou was not afraid to pay a little more to make sure she had the best band possible. I don't know if that's true, but she had the best band of her time...without question.
I've lead a sheltered life, I only discovered this last night when it was played on BBC4. I've always loved Albert Lee but this was just something else. I think that Emmylou needs a larger guitar :)
what a treat to go back to the days when musicians actually played music and didn't worry about what their tat's looked like on TV... this is f-ing great
Emmy is world class beautiful and talented to this day, but the thing I always admired about her was the way she interacted and honored her band members. It's why the best of best found their way onto the team.
holy smokes Albert Lee i think his fingers are on fire lol this is such a great song written by gram parsons i once sung this with my daughter at a coffeehouse and such fun it was singing this Gram knew how to write good songs
I used to dance around the livig room with my little kids to this song. Love it! Those little ones are now 44 and 39. But this song never gets old! Now I gotta go dance!!
I've seen Emmylou live 14 times between 1976-2012. This was THE lineup! Albert (and Hank De Vito too) would always tear it up in concert. And don't let her fool ya - Emmylou has a powerhouse voice. My all-time fave!
The Hot Band Indeed, hard to believe seeing this talent on 1 stage. Gosh, you forget what a killer Albert Lee is, the whole band is just smokin and Emmylou is just the perfect vocalist to carry this band of crazy people. Thanks for posting this !
These folks are zoning at the heights of heaven here--for a live performance with no doctoring in the studio. Amazing time for these singers and the band. There should be an award for this.
I was lucky enough to be sitting right in front of Albert Lee at My Father's Place in Roslyn NY in 1977. He had just joined the Hot Band a short while before, and those licks were mesmerizing. Everyone in that band blew me away.
Yeah I saw Emmy Lou with the Hot Band three times though I remember Ricky Skaggs was instead of Albert Lee. At the Palomino in Burbank. every show right up front right below Emmy Lou who I locked eyes with a few times. and I was cute back then so she was definitely checking me out. gg. But the music and her singing. Oh my God, it was perfect.
Country music never gets any better than this, right here, and ode to Gram Parsons who wrote it and would have been there if he had lived. yes and Albert Lee is the best Bakersfield picker ever, though influenced by James Burton. CLarence White and others. he was the head of Ten Years After the British rock band I liked as a 13 year old. Then he just went country and boy did he nail it. But Emmy Lou, this is Queen Of The Rodeo all right.
Got it. I always wondered about that. Both super fast guitarists though. What are the odds? Albert lee is a true freak of musical nature. He outpicks the Scruggs, doc Watson and James Burton and is a Brit.
what is wrong with Albert here...there is some thing wrong...no one is that good...seriously, he is on fire, I don't think any one has seriously come close since....genius
Albert Lee .... absolutely the Greatest underrated guitarist of all time. The man is funamimal on any instrument he decides to play... and he clearly doesn't get enough credit for being a great guitarist.
There will never be another who can match Albert style of playing and there will never ever be. Like Dave Edmonds said on his video about Albert. If only he had a top class promoter he would have been on a different level. One of the greatest and most humble human too. God bless him.
Not so sure about the miming; there was plenty of that. Not this excerpt of course but many of the "live" acts which did a couple of numbers on an episode were often suspiciously over-instrumentated (such as rod clements of lindisfarne playing a violin solo whilst the bass round his neck which he's taken his hands off continues to pump it out - and many more) It was a good show overall but not quite always what it seemed.
I still love this....the greatest band there ever was...love them all...albert lee is the best guitar picker there ever has been....the hot band is the best ever.
This is my favorite song by Emmylou! My mom grew up listening to her, but doesn't remember this song; maybe because it wasn't as much of a hit as "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue", "Boulder To Birmingham", etc. I also love those songs; hell; I love her! 😍😍😍
t'aint nothin' sweeter than emmy lou singin' 'i been around everybody ought to know what's on my mind' and the hottest pickers and grinners on the planet aptly named 'hot band' playin' luxury liner for her ...love that slide geetar woohoo emmy lou!!!!! #1 fan
@twangglor I love how you inform him by saying, "Son, you ain't been paying attention." LOL This is how I remember Emmylou when I was a teenager!! Even as a woman, i can say she is beautiful and hasn't' changed!! She's coming to the Bijou in Knoxville and I'm going to take my 18 and 20 year old sons to see her!!
Emmylou and the hot band are on fire here, albert soloing is crazy and good, the high vocal harmonies gives the song a special kind of kick. Railroad song, the whole band is like an engenie, tschuh tschuh😂😂😂😂
My first introduction to Albert Lee was a cassette an Irish friend gave me just before I left for Canada. It was called "Gagged, But Not Bound," and it was like a master class in tier 1 guitar chops. I learned a great deal from listening to and studying that tape, and I don't even play country!😉
Albert Lee is the Oscar Peterson of the guitar. I think if the gods would put Mr. Lee on the same stage with Glen Campbell, Jerry Reed, Billy Gibbons, Stevie Ray Vaughan - all the greats, that they would share the same jaw-dropping reaction with most of us.
The Old Grey Whistle Test late night UK TV and John Peel late night UK radio introduced me to modern music... I'm thankful! The first OGWT I saw was Emmylou's and it is unforgettable.
The fact Albert could keep that solo going for hours and hours is amazing you could find this song recorded a different time and his solo would be completely different
Emmylou AND The Hot Band at their very, very best! And Albert Lee.... he's the greatest/fastest guitar picker for many many years already and never to be missed when he's in your neighbourhood with his band, great and modest guy too!
I do have the album and the CD.. I remember when I first got the cassette tape and was playing it super loud in my old Rambler( the Golden Eagle) I had the cassette player on a slide in and out, floor mount with an equalizer!! And man it rocked!!
I had the pleasure of meeting Albert and having him sign my Telecaster after we opened for Carlene Carter. I was thrilled that day to see Albert was in her touring band!
Speaking of luxury, what a luxury it was for Emmylou to have Albert Lee on lead guitar. Just set your guitar down baby, pick up a tambourine and let Albert take over
+Jeremy Husmann Your right she's definitely no Stacy Partridge but then you shouldn't compare Legends they both have their Good and bad. BUT in her defense have you ever performed on stage and I don't see any head gear on her you CAN'T HEAR and it sucks you can't really hear what's coming from where , sometimes it's just all LOUD.NOISE doesn't sound like what the audience is hearing to those on stage.
Great video...thanks for posting. Never saw the live version of this before. Albert Lee's guitar run has got to be one of the best ever in country rock music, or any music! Awesome!

Emmylou said, "When I look back on my career, I'll be able to say I played rhythm guitar for Albert Lee".
She also said, "I had the best musicians on the planet in my band." And she was right.
She can also say that she played rhythm guitar for James Burton!

I like how the camera catches Emmylou and Rodney enjoying Albert's playing as much as all of us.
She is stunningly beautiful and also talented.

That song is best done by Emmylou she had that way with Gram songs
Albert in his prime and asskickin bad ass self ! Don't get much better than this . Emmylou is a goddess of song and stage !
She is probably the prettiest Lady i am ever going to see, ever. Understanding this is old, but.........Oh great voice too!!! Dang......wow!!
Albert Lee is absolutely amazing!

Wow. That was more than special. I'm stunned by Albert Lee's playing. Sustained, high-speed, playing with clean notes and it's totally musical.
Love it when Emmy thinks to herself "I can't keep up with this" and grabs a tambourine, absolutely stunning performance from a very hot band.
They told her they wouldn't record her unless she found a "hot band" to back her up. She brought THE Hot Band.
The perfect combination!
And this is perhaps the hottest of their songs.
Emmy is world class beautiful and talented to this day, but the thing I always admired about her was the way she interacted and honored her band members. It's why the best of best found their way onto the team.
So glad these moments were captured so us come laters can now appreciate this level of musicianship.

Saw this edition of Emmylou's Hot Band in '77 at the Laguna Beach Bowl. Life-changing. Albert Lee a wizard with the Telecaster.
Jayyysus, it’s got to be the most amazing country guitar solo ever! Mr. Albert Lee!
In 80..ELH in Bham.. Thursday.. then Boise State.Tuesday..
Long ass drive..
I'm 70..Emylou a babe
Great video...thanks for posting. Never saw the live version of this before. Albert Lee's guitar run has got to be one of the best ever in country rock music, or any music! Awesome!
I love this song, love Emmylou; and this video is HOT!
