A touch of Stephane Grapelli on the violin! John Hughey was incredible. May he rest in eternal musical peace. As for Vince and Albert, well, legends on their own.
That "old guy on the steel" was one of the kindest, gentlest men I ever met. I'm thankful to be able to say I got to know him as part of my extended family. He was a consummate gentleman, a joy to talk with, and an outstanding musician. Nashville could use a few more like John Hughey these days!
Ain't that the truth. Music Row is a disaster. To many producers that haven't grown up listening to country music. It all sounds like the Lymard Skynard I grew up with in the mid 70's. Sad.
Exactly. I'm so tired of my middle-aged friends still touting Heavy Metal guitarist, and I always make them play Bebop, Swing and old-school country - which they can not really play, just to shut them the heck up, and humble them. Sorry, no power chord riffs hear lads, you better actually know something!
Not only was John Hughey one of the greatest steel guitarists of all time, he was also an incredibly nice, humble man. One of the finest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.
As Willie Nelson once put it, "Western swing is jazz on guitars." If you like jazz you would easily like western swing, and vice versa. I played jazz guitar, and I liked western swing. Same stuff.
The whole lineup here clearly had the "Hot Club de France" in mind while playing this rendition. Albert, Vince and Danny are doing their best Django impression, the fiddle player is doing his best grapelli, and the old dude on steel is summing up the whole gypsy jazz vibe... amazing
He's probably trying to respect the tune, it wouldn't mke much musical sense to just start shredding all over the neck on a relitively slow and steady song like this...almost every first-hand account of him will tell you how humble and understated this guy was and I think it always translated into his playing.
rob is right, danny is playing a solo that fits the song, i love to play fast but constant shredding is tiring to audience after a while, all the solos in this song are excellent.
Good grief these guys are sooo good !!! Vince is right, best and smoothest steel player I've ever heard. It's not easy to play like that. You give me hope that turning 60 isn't over the hill yet. :-)
If you want to know how the presence of the greatest musician ever born impacts a show with phenomenal talent on board, watch how hard Vince Gill is concentrating on his solo. When The Humbler is on the set, you better be at the top of your game, and the pressure is obvious.
I am trying to get over the frustration of not learning to play like this! Seems to be taking quite a while, I can remember back in time certain opportunities I had. I always had the wrong impression of this type of music. I had thought it was corrected when I had a HeeHaw revelation with Roy Clark but that was just the beginning of my pain!
@@lambert1702 That seems to be on a lot of his live videos. The duet with Arlen Roth on Conan O'Brien's show was awful. Guy played his heart out and the sound man was asleep.
11 for Steel and 10 for that fiddle lee knows hows how to dance thru the changes gill had some connections with the pedal note gatton was up there with steel and fiddle did i mention gatton
Most of the time when jazz players play this tune, they call it Donna Lee, it doesn’t swing nearly this hard, and they don’t hit the changes nearly as well as these guys.
Wow, so much talent on this stage it's almost unimaginable! Danny had so many more great recordings in him.....
Unbelievable collection of talent right there.
No cowboy chord wear on Gatton’s guitar. Every fret was worn. Guy was stellar. RIP🍀

Why did you not mention the BEST-Danny Gatton!
They are the best of the best!!!
That was SO good. Oh my. The steel player and Gatton really melt my socks. And Albert Lee has such joy.
Vince Gill? Jeez. What a gem this is.

No distortion,no yelling,just pure musicianship,what a fine song from great musicians,

Watching this as I’m in LA and awaiting to move back home to Indiana
I came to this video for Gatton but i keep coming back for Vince Gill's solo.
American Music Shop was one of the finest music shows on television.
The one and only Martin Parker on drums. A world class musician and a great friend to boot. I miss him.
That's the first Danny gatton solo I've ever heard where I was able to breathe through the entire thing. He was very restrained and within the song.
John was a dear friend and monster player. I sure miss making music with him.
Danny held back on that solo.
Vince Gills tone winning.
This is "real music" and unbelievable talent...
Amazing performance by all musicians, pure class, R I P John Huey , what a massive loss you are to country music
Sure wish they'd bring shows like this back...also, bringing back the Grand Ol Opry live in TV as well... Man, those were the best of days

WHAT !! OMG every one of these guys totally shredded their moments

A bunch of greats. Old times, old loves.
How did they fit all this talent in one room this is just ridiculous
i always feel danny is holding back when he's playing with others...

Just the way Danny was . . .
God bless 'im. The humility of "the humbler."
Danny Gatton...Goat.

Lucky, I got to meet Papa John at Jimmy Crawford's house....yes RIP John.
It’s amazing how these guys improvise like they do, playing is out of this world.
Albert has the perfect amount of compression on his setup...
Good grief these guys are sooo good !!! Vince is right, best and smoothest steel player I've ever heard. It's not easy to play like that. You give me hope that turning 60 isn't over the hill yet. :-)
The best !! play well in HEAVEN

Wow that is simply one hell of a band!
The talent in just 2 hands ... They are all there awesome ... I tip my hat to them ...
Well, in the case of John Hughey it's two hands, two knees and two feet!

So nice that someone recorded this...... thanks for sharing.....
Impressed by Vince Gill's solo, didn't expect to be considering the company. Completely inside the style.
Speechless right now.....
Watching the best of the best!!!
RIP John. He was the best. We miss you, buddy.
Stunning group of talent. Yet then there was Dan.
That old guy on the steel smoked all of 'em.
Busted all their asses on the floor, damn
@@Kylerjguitar Very fine on the steel, but never NOBODY smokin' Danny Gatton.
@@DHudelson Agreed. Danny played awesome, but his tone was so bad you could hardly hear him.
@@lambert1702 That seems to be on a lot of his live videos. The duet with Arlen Roth on Conan O'Brien's show was awful. Guy played his heart out and the sound man was asleep.
That old guy is one of the best steel players to ever sit behind a psg.
He is certainly missed
Thanks for sharing. This is awesome!!!
From Indiana...
Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!
Nobody smokes Vince, he is amazing and a good guy too
Super! John's always been one of my favorites.

Pete Wasner on the keys.
There's Django in Danny's playing.
Super 💗💗
Danny Gatton way underplayed as was his wont when playing with other talent. Very humble guy equal or better to any.
Sweet!!
Great tasty melodic playing. Check out Glen Campbell doing this one. (Back Home Again in Indiana)
A C 6th master right there!
That's a tough song to play!
Back Home in Indiana

Smokin and super tasty. 13 thumbs down = Yngvie Malmsteen fans.
WOWOWOWOW/
There are a lot of good steel players. The two best I’ve ever heard are Buddy Emmons and John Hughey.
This was from 93'.
Vince can pick a little.
all great players gatton maybe a bit more harmonically adventurous than the other guitarists but all tell good stories with their playing
GREAT comment!
Ditto
Does anyone out there know the name of that tune? I love it.
It's called "Back Home Again In Massachussetes" ;~)
Ah, that's what the neck pickup is for lol
Most of the time when jazz players play this tune, they call it Donna Lee, it doesn’t swing nearly this hard, and they don’t hit the changes nearly as well as these guys.
not the same tune, written on the same chords...
PS - IS THAT STEVIE DAY VAUGHNPLAYING THAT RED LES PAUL?!!
For once...great camera work.
Was this a "NO OVATION" AMS?
sc lawman is this Stan or Del McCoy?
when your hot you hot wow
How good is 1:49 to 2:05
Now we get songs with someone no-talent howling about a tractor, truck, or drinking beer. I miss country music!
The era of great pedal players is fading slowly... I’ve tried one and it just ain’t easy. After about 5 months I had 3 chords, poorly
