Billy Gibbons and Jimmy Vaughn Dec 27th/24 at Antones in Austin Texas

[@fredfloyd68]

These two boys made a lot of happiness for all...still doing it.

[@vintagepipesnightmares]

And a lot of money for themselves

[@fletchermunson6225]

I ran into Jimmy in a restaurant. He stopped by our table to shoot the breeze. Super nice humble guy. He was there with his family going to a west coast car show. It looked like his wife and daughters told him he wasn't going without them. heh.

[@StarshipTrooper2050]

I wish Stevie was here to enjoy this! Still praying for Jimmie…I’m sure he misses his brother in a big way!

[@bwhit716]

My exact thought adding wishing Stevie was playing too

Thank you very much for recording and posting this for us all....

[@brownsfan7753]

I love the blues!!!!

[@DoobTube71]

Last time I saw these two masters, I was front row at the House of Blues on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, New Years Eve, 2001. Marcia Ball opened the show for Jimmy Vaughn. The Rev. Billy G. was in the balcony with Terry Bradshaw and some sharp dressed women! Billy came down for a couple song encore. It was an awesome night!

Thank you ❤

[@Babassecretchannel]

I fell in love with Jimmie’s playing in the early 90’s. Him not trying to impress you is really impressive!

[@stevejones924]

Why does his left hand look like its working more to hit chords or notes then most players?

[@erikwallstrand6918]

How many years of playing do these gentlemen have behind them? Or rather, how many hundreds of years? And yet they have the joy of playing. That's what music does. For everyone, including us listeners.🎸🎸🎹🥁

[@srvuk]

Jimmy looks as if he has aged 10 years overnight but the playing is still great. Lovely to see Layton on drums, who looks younger than he did back in the 80's.

[@rafaelburgos7567]

2 grandes !!!!!!!!!

[@isometric2008]

Stevie was asked who his favorite guitar player was and he said Jimmy, he can lay back and show you how good he is, but me I gotta pull out every trick in the book and I'm not where he's at.

So cool!

[@stevejones924]

I was just about to ask who that was on drums, because I liked what I was hearing, and then I saw him. . . Chris f'ing Layton!

Arguably the two BEST living American guitarists, if not in the WORLD. I'm surprised that stage didn't just tip-over, with so much talent on it!

It's a bog-standard Friday night in Austin. Also, David Grissom has a residency on Tuesday nights at a bar in a strip mall.

[@stillnotwoke]

Yep, some pretty basic sh*t being played here. Jimmie looks a bit long in the tooth, and Billy has always looked that way...

Negative comments are not needed…..or wanted. Dont see you being asked to play at Antones…and if you played worth a darn, you’d know playing live isn’t going to be perfect”tone”. Get over yourself and enjoy these guys while they are still with us…

Why are you not including Chris Layton on the header of this vid?!

I met Billy in a bar in Texas and we had a few beers on me. When it was his round he went for a shit and never came back.

[@benallmark9671]

Can anybody tell me what kind of guitar Billy is playing here ?

[@brook-mn7zc]

Layton on drums?

[@TheJimburke]

JV is lucky he never played a fast lick in his life so as he has grown older he has never had to reproduce the fast chop he never played of his youth.

[@lakesnake2005]

A how, how, how, how....

[@Xazertroncharlie]

Like anything with Billy Gibbons. I never have really gotten this double stop riff that he is playing at about 4:00 . I have heard him do it in a lot of solos. To me it never quite fits. 🤔

[@HelenRundell]

Eye worked at several of the Thundercloud Subs locations Austin mid-eighties and made Chris Layton a sandwich, though eye didn't recognize him until after he left. As eye handed his order, he had a look about him as if wondering he'd been made. Perhaps my opportunity to gush over a local star was missed, lol. Saw Stevie w/ Double Trouble at Auditorium Shores just after Lou Ann Barton had left the line-up...aah historical moments.

[@benallmark9671]

I not eye. Not trying to be a dick but if you’re anything like me you’ll appreciate the mistakes being pointed out. That way you never make them again. That’s the way I look at it anyway. Cheers

[@HelenRundell]

@benallmark9671 uh oh- grammar nazi, lol. Just glad for your interest in the best music of the southwest, hope to bump into you at one of the few shows that interest me these days.

Not overly impressed with Jimmy’s playing and sound.

[@mattrogers1946]

Jimmie was Stevie's favorite player That says it all...

[@lucabrasi5070]

@@mattrogers1946Stevie was a good brother that was always trying to promote and help his brother out in any way he could. But I’ll never bash Jimmy’s playing. He’s not trying to dazzle anyone with shredding or speed. But neither does Keith Richards or David Gilmour. Or Mr Gibbons, for that matter.

[@David-xy9my]

He's older now and has either deliberately chosen to play in this slower style, or has some arm, hand, finger issues that are affecting his playing. There is no doubt that his playing now is slower and less fluid than his playing 40 years ago. But, if you go back and listen to the early T-Birds albums, Jimmie was tremendous. Fast when he needed to be, and fluid always. The T-Birds (and Stevie) almost singlehandedly revived classic blues, and Jimmie's influence is profound and far reaching. You would be hard pressed to find a straight ahead blues player in the last 50 years who would say that Jimmie was not a fantastic player. I suppose his appeal is "limited" because of the genre he works in. I'm sure he doesn't matter much to shredders, metal heads, and who knows what other up to the minute styles I can't even name. But if you like pure American blues and R&B, he's the real deal. If you know you know.....
