Billy Joe Shaver - I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal (But I'm Gonna Be...) (Live at Farm Aid 1994)

[@davidcudlip6587]

I'd put Eddy Shaver up against anyone picking guitar. He could play it all and rocked rockabilly guitar better then most of the more famous guitar slingers. RIP, you are missed. And so is your papa.

[@Toobzilla]

there are a whole lot of top tier guitar players who are extremely thankful eddy had a short life.. he was one of the most symbiotic players you'll ever hear. its disturbing that the community never did any retrospectives about eddy & his talent. its the least they could do in appreciation of the fact that had he lived, we'd have never heard of them..

[@richardburchett]

I saw this same group in a club that holds 200 people in 1995. It was a treat, especially to be right in front of Eddy when he worked magic on that Stratocaster. I’ll never forget it

[@davidmiddlebrooks5615]

my same experience...at Elizabeth Reed Music Hall in Macon, GA

[@johncruz9357]

I saw him once at a Dive bar in the garden ridge area right on the outskirts of San Antonio….What a monster!!!!! It was the funniest thing ever to see Billy flicking him with his bandanna trying to stop Eddy from noodling between songs….

[@johnnyrocco]

Damn, I'm still missing, Billy Joe and Eddy Shaver. RIP

[@Tjfloodflorida]

long time music fan just figured out Eddy Shaver. Goodness gracious, he was off the hook good.

Eddie was a master with the guitar.. he was amazing 😊👍

[@sayshuh]

Damn , smoking guitar.

[@rm3150]

Fabulous performance of a great song with Eddie Shaver's incredible picking. Eddie's death in 2000 was a stunning loss.

[@unclejon7554]

Rest In Peace, Billy Joe

[@brucifurrose9956]

And Eddy

[@johnhodge3676]

Eddy is my all-time guitar hero. I saw him play all around Texas probably 25 times in 80's and 90's, most recently '99. The most creative style and best tone ever to hit my ears, not to mention being a very approachable nice guy. Just a guitar/cable/amp without any effects. It's all in the mind, heart and fingers. To this day I can't pick up a guitar without thinking of him. Hopefully someday in my lifetime Strat players will stop imitating (actually butchering) the great Stevie Ray's licks and tone. Makes me sick. Listen to Eddy and understand what a homegrown innovative style can bring to the game.

[@mattygeetarross]

Eddy is the 1st guy I ever tried to copy a solo from! From the 1st ACL show, he's always my biggest influence mixing it all up together like a great tone stew!

[@johnhodge3676]

Matt - love the Reverend. I own a '99 Slingshot. JH

[@arqarod]

John Hodge cool!!

[@kevykev38]

John Hodge true story about Eddy when Ed stood in for Pete Anderson in Dwight's band Dwight told him to use a fender amp and a telecaster.. Eddy used a telecaster but had his Marshall stack cranked underneath the stage lol he was the coolest

Great song!

[@salortiz3528]

Love the bass playing on this one 👍👍

[@Rocco9457]

Thank you for this posting!!!! I feared that there was not any good video of Eddy and his father when they were cooking with gas, but thank God there is. I will never get that tone Eddy had out of my head. Put that with Billy Joe's words and I don 't think there will ever be anything that comes close to it again. I hope one day to meet up with Eddy again. May God rest your soul Eddy Shaver and May God keep Billy Joe strong nit the day he calls him home.

[@JWolf-nh9uw]

RIP Norm

[@briand4897]

Still trying to transcribe Eddy's parts to this song to sheet music for personal use. Using the studio version & slowing it down but this particular live video helps to fill in parts. It is a wonderful challenge. Such a great song and great guitar work. Way too soon way too soon...

[@richarddonley4692]

What about Keith, absolutely badass bassplayer!!! Watch his technique!!!

[@Ben-ut1xb]

RIP Norm Macdonald

[@rjf9925]

Who is the bass player on this ?? Imitating slap stand up bass (Rockabilly Style) He did a very good job at it as well

[@ott5178]

That would be Keith Christopher. He's played with several badass bands.

[@WaylandRustyRoberts]

Music never dies or stops...

[@rickpilgrim6773]

RIP....you earned your wings

[@wthjrtx1]

God only made one Billy Joe and he should never be seen without a TEXAS flag behind him. Im gonna be a diamond some day. You betcha. God bless from The Lonestar State!!

[@NormanCameron4U]

would have really liked to have seen more of Eddy's Hands. Sounded like they were smokin.

[@gregnightrodspecial]

RIP BJS 😥

[@Gr8Layks]

Norm MacDonald's stand-up comedy sent me here. Great music!

[@chrisbuck1695]

That's hilarious I was watching Norm on one of his podcasts interviewing Billy Bob Thornton and they were praising Billy Joe Shaver and because of that I checked him out too! Glad I did!

[@filmnobelpreis]

I wonder where he gets his ideas from.

[@rjf9925]

Who cares ?? We all get our Ideas in life from somewhere, a bit like religion..
