Chris Skruggs covering the steel on one of the most important landmark steel guitar songs of all time. He nails it better than anyone I've ever heard, he's barely even in the video. Great work.
The Byrds were a huge influence on me as a teen in the 60s. To bad there was personality clashes among them that prevented them staying together longer then what they did. Chris and Roger are all that remains of the original lineup. Sweetheart of The Rodeo is iconic now but at the time of release it wasn't well received by most fans who just weren't warmed up to country sounding music yet. Chris of course was a Mandolin player in Bluegrass circles when he joined The Byrds so it was no stretch for him. Then Gram gave them to an even harder country edge when he joined up. Little by little original Byrds fans like me started growing an appreciation of what they were doing now. Country Rock was cool.
Chris Hillman sounding great, and Chris Scruggs? What a versatile musician! Such great music history on that stage, with Marty Stuart bringing it all together...
This tour gave many of us a chance to experience the live music of the Byrds. This was a great one, and Marty Stuart added value. So many great songs and their voices were still in good shape. There should be a DVD of this historical tour.
Beautiful song! I remember playing this album sweetheart of the rodeo when it came out! The Byrds played at our High School in LA when they were first famous!

Harry Stinson, The Fabulous Superlatives drummer: Never a let-down. Always right on target on drums and vocals. Not enough credit given there.
That fella playin bass is one of the hottest lead guitar players to ever hit Nashville! Mr. Kenny Vaughn.
Byrds and Fabulous Superlatives. Can't do much better than that. These guys are legends.
not as good as Gram Parsons and Ammylou Harris.never be forgotten Gram

When Gram wrote that one he hit a home run.

Gram has to be one of the biggest what ifs in music history. Wish he was still with us
I was 19 when I got my copy of "sweetheart,' It blew me away! Then I heard Emmylou..........Life has never been the same!
Thank you, guys, for your beautiful rendition and for keeping Gram Parsons alive!!! Leanne

....great steel by Chris Scruggs....and the incomparable Harry Stinson on high harmony!
So good. Nice to see old conflicts put aside for happier memories. Gram lives on through his words and music.
Sweethart of the rodeo an onforgetable album. Roger and Chris legendary musicians. A magic combination after many years.
How I would love to hear Gram and Roger do it again 😇
thank you for that intro....love the idea of Gram's grandma at home listening to him on the radio....
Great to see Hillman and McGuinn singing together again.
WOW what a line up Gram is tapping his toes to THIS
