Charlie Daniels Band - The Devil Went Down To Georgia (Live at Farm Aid 1985)

Charlie Daniels Band performs "The Devil Went Down To Georgia" live at the Farm Aid concert in Champaign, Illinois on September 22, 1985. Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.

Farm Aid's performances are donated by the artists in order to raise funds and raise awareness for family farmers. They've raised their voices to help - what can you do?

Today we mourn the loss of one of the most iconic artists of our time. Rest in peace Charlie Daniels.

charlie daniels playing that fiddle is like a man in uniform...can't stop staring

[@anael169]

Listening with tears 😢 of joy and sorrow. What a master! Did anyone notice his high strings on the fiddle were out of tune? He tunes it @1:40 and finishes out on pitch. What a pro.

[@Monstertrkcrzy]

This talented North Carolina native should be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. He's a member of the Grand Ole Opry and the Musician's Hall of Fame but not the former.

[@Southernguitar74]

He was inducted last year, at long last.

[@jensz9360]

Country Music Hall Of Fame doesnt mean a damn thing anyway. Anyone alive and with working ears (even just one ear) knows that Charlie Daniels band is legendary. He doesnt need an induction to any watered down Hall of Fame like the Country Music Hall of Fame.

I was at a motel pool in South Houston and a long haired guy came walking out and I looked at him and for whatever reason said, "hey, you look like a musician Are you in a band?". He said, "Yes, Charlie Daniels band.... I'm Charlie." He probably thought I was a dipshit.
