Love this song, let's give credit to Guy Clark for writing it. For all those mystified by Ricky when he sings "Pride if you're rich..." it really goes "Pride is a bitch and a bore when you're lonely". What a line!!
I actually came here to check that one out! Heard a recording of Guy singing it and went "whaaaa???" - that's a *much* better original line than the way Ricky (probably had to) sings it! I saw Ricky in '84 or so, seemed like he'd just started to focus on mandolin in that tour but sang this big hit too. Nothing like waking up a 13-year-old comment thread! :D
Love you guys saw you in Toyota Theater in Wallingford, CT 😳 OMG what a show you put on. You guys have aged like fine wine loved you then still love you now 😚💓
This Austin City Limits show is from 1985 I believe. He plays a lot of songs from his 1985 album, "Waitin' for the Sun to Shine". The same year he won CMA "Entertainer of the Year". I saw him in concert that year in Columbia, SC. Whether it's country or bluegrass, Ricky always gives you your money's worth. Incredible musician.
actually...in this video that IS most of them with the exception of George Grantham on the drums. also there's Mickey Merritt on piano (RIP Mickey...we miss you!)
Man, that is awesome. Please post more from this Austin City Limits, I believe from 1981. I have been looking for it for a LONG time. It is good to see some footage of it. PLEASE POST MORE!
hey there my steel playin' brother! just saying hey and letting you know that actually i think it was something to do with CBS not letting him follow his heart on which way to go musically...i cannot say for sure but i do believe
it has always been my experience that Ricky has always done that. I really don't know if it would be the sound tech's fault. It was probably just habit
Do you have the full Austin City Limits episode from 1982, where Larry Gatlin and Ricky Skaggs perform, includes opening credits with music by John Mills, closing credits with "London Homesick Blues", funding credits, and the 1971 PBS logo at the end?
Sorry. The short answer is no. Unfortunately, I did not record the Larry Gatlin segment. Opening credits, yes. Closing credits yes. Logo? I would have to check. Hope you are enjoying this.
Yeah it was. For contractual reasons he could only record Country and when he signed with Atlantic the album sells wern't good and they wouldn't let him record a bluegrass album on their label so he left and started his own label and now he can do anything he wants.

I agree completely! Please post more. This is great to see.
Nashville baby. It’s hard to get in on them studio musicians.
There used to be an original HeartBroke video but I do not see anymore on RUclips.
Bobby Hicks on Fiddle and Ray Flacke on guitar and Jessy Chambers on bass and I figure mark Parker on the drums
please PLEASE post more of Ricky's show from this taping!
this is beside the point..but listen closely and you hear him singing "pride WHEN you're rich.."
Rick is the !@##!
Great bit of info!
I think it's from austin city limits.What year was this great country music way better than today's country music.
Too bad he ditched this band when he got too big...Country music at its finest...
hey there my steel playin' brother! just saying hey and letting you know that actually i think it was something to do with CBS not letting him follow his heart on which way to go musically...i cannot say for sure but i do believe
I stand corrected. This is 1981.
sure is
That's THE Bobby Hicks on fiddle
Donny...if you think Hicks' playing is the straight dope right here...you oughta hear Andy (the guy who replaced him).
correction...that's Rodney Price on drums

I would love to post a recording of Ray Flacke playing the best solo I have ever heard but when I did it was taken down because of copyrights.
Yeah it was. For contractual reasons he could only record Country and when he signed with Atlantic the album sells wern't good and they wouldn't let him record a bluegrass album on their label so he left and started his own label and now he can do anything he wants.
That mic has a mustache!
Johnny Depp on steel.
Looks so much better with short hair than that long grey mess.
No one cares.

Great performance by Ricky--
and don't think it's easy singing and playing through the whole song with a dead raccoon camped out on your head.
