Chet Atkins, Duane Eddy, Vince Gill, Earl & Randy Scruggs Lonesome Reuben

[@lachlanwhelen3185]

I think Leon Russell blows everybody out of the water here. He turns a hillbilly country jam, into a nasty groovy, Jazzy bluesy jam during his solo. Totally out of the “box”. What a legend!

[@hunterhelfrich1270]

I'm 22, and let me tell you, my generation has it all wrong! These are the musicians we should look up to! Duane has the best guitar tone I can imagine. Twang's the Thang!

[@YeahRightInc]

Sad to see Chet and Earl gone but so grateful they were ever here. Nobody contributed more to the guitar than Chet and nobody to the 5 string banjo more than Papa Earl. We love you guys and miss you something awful.

[@bananakungfu]

You won't see the likes of great, great musicians like these again. Who will fill their shoes? Just sit back, turn up the volume and listen to what great music should be like.

[@dawo8506]

Duane Eddie completely defines himself with a note and a chord at the very end. Sweet!

[@TakersMissy]

Absolutely! Although I was familiar with Duane Eddy's music, I'd never seen him before now. I think his look here sorta matches his trademark deep guitar sound. 😉

[@610otaku]

brings tears to your eyes, don't it? RIP Chet and Earl

[@freddillard6775]

And Leon too.

[@davidrobinson7112]

We as a nation need a lot more of this. Great wholesome entertainment. 👌Just gotta love it.

[@ShellyAnn1a]

Used to have a couple of Flats and Scruggs Albums growing up. They came to our town and played at the Pioneer Picnic and while in town they rented a place across the play ground from where I lived. One of them was out under a big maple with his banjo, so we all sat around him and listened to him play When he was finished, he went into their bus and came out and gave each of us one of their corncob pipes, he gave me three, one for each of use kids. We would always gather around that big maple and listen to them play, it was easier and did not cost us anything, like it would if we went to the Picnic to listen to them. Fond memories of growing up..

[@barbarawagner5938]

There, will NEVER be another Earl Scruggs.

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

Too bad we can't hear Chet better, but Don Was made a really cool statement! Great musicians all around!

[@markgigiel2722]

I'm a blues and rock guy, but this is awesome. So much talent in one room.

[@blpadge2]

Grateful that one item on my bucket list was to see Earl Scruggs in concert before he passed. Even in his twilight years he was still a better banjo player than 90% of Nashville.

[@smokeynewton]

Me too. I saw him back in the 70's when it was The Earl Scruggs Review. The 2 things I did right was to see the Beatles live (64) and Earl Scruggs.

[@bradleehoughton3272]

Greetings and God bless our family baby !!! I wish we were at home listening to this song !!! I love you and I play Blue Ridge Mountain Girl...Every day for our 10th year anniversary!!!!!! I cant believe in a few months it will be 11 years !!!!

[@glennpowell7791]

What talent on one stage. Leon Russell, the Scruggs, Chet and Duane plus Vince Gill. My God

[@torotexas]

The first time I listened to my parent's copy of "rebel rouser" by Duane Eddy changed me as a musician. It was raw and brave. It lit the path of music I have enjoyed travelling ever since....

[@ChuckWroste]

What fun to listen to! When the greats gather together, it's got to be good. I have to say that as many guitar pickers as there are out there, Duane Eddy alone has his sound, and what a treat it is to hear. You know, it just don't seem right that Anita Cochran plays as good as she is beautiful. Talk about having it all!!

[@chesterroaden2428]

I pray that my great-grandkids listen/watch this and know, these were the great ones.

[@almacarthur4053]

Earl Is a genius on the banjo and I've always loved Duane Eddy. Chet Atkins may be the best guitar player ever. Vince Gill is great too but he played the mandolin on this piece. He's really good on that too. Anita Cochran sounds a lot like Duane Eddy. What a great band!

[@stephenmitchell3569]

Priceless talent and Gentlemen making music that touching your soul to you toes! Remember practicing 6 to 8 hrs every day possible to play their style. Love of music and making people grin! Those were the days the rest of my time was sitting on a tractor working the land. At that time most in neighborhood had black and white TV, cows, pigs, pastures and acres of gardens and corn. A treat was to buy one 45 record at music store for $1 when you made 50¢ an hour if lucky. A one lb Hershey bar was $1 and coke 5¢! Phone number was three numbers and prayer before lunch at school. Lucky living in those times of respect, honor, and faith! God Bless the USA and REAL USA CITIZENS!!!

[@Digmen1]

What I like, is that its so laid back they all let each other play!

Everyone in the rock n'roll hall of fame either directly or indirectly owe a debt of gratitude to MR Leon Russell.

[@sammccue1359]

Because, as part of "The Wrecking Crew" he arranged, played on, and/or produced some of the all-time greatest hits. Google him. His credits speak for themselves. And he IS a great piano player.

[@chlynn13b92]

@@sammccue1359 And songwriter! He was so talented and too often overlooked. He could play anything and he did!

[@dm9151]

I liked watching Leon play the guitar with Joe Cocker back in the late 60s early 70s with that top hat on. It's a shame he had to move on with Chet , Earl, and so many others. He will be missed.

[@kennethpack1963]

Strongest stage I have seen in a long time, holding up that much talent!!!

[@matthewkeeley4479]

Being a player of the five string, nothing's better than hearing Mr. Earl play Rueben. He has said many times, Rueben was the tune he first "discovered" the three finger syncopation he made his own. It can be played with two fingers but the world of Bluegrass would have been unimagined without the "Scrugg's" style development and execution. {The rest of the band is pretty good too! The bass improv makes ya' smile!}

[@TakersMissy]

Priceless!! Thank you so much for sharing this rare treat of some of the best musical legends ever!! 😃

Earl and the late Ralph Stanley. Check out "The Clinch Mountain Boys."

[@jackhammer111]

I hate to have to make such a declarative statement but Bela Fleck is the greatest banjo player that ever lived. I don't take the greatest ever tag lightly. I've heard and seen so many great musicians but I'd prefer to keep them in the class of great musicians. I have to be taken to the notion almost against my will. I have to be won over, convinced, sold. There has to be a gap between that player and all the rest on their instrument. Bela won every bluegrass and every banjo competition worth winning then took banjo places it had never been before. I could not believe when I heard him become a jazz and fusion player. The inherent properties of the 5 string banjo should preclude it from being played "across the changes" of jazz or in the scales of jazz or fusion. Not that he didn't worship Earl when he was young. It was Earl Scruggs that made him take up the banjo. just that developed innovative technical skills and musical knowledge much broader than country and bluegrass. He isn't an evolutionary banjo player, he's revolutionary. Bela Fleck is not only a great bluegrass player, he's world-class musician. After the last time, I heard Bela Fleck and the Flecktones I had a dream that I saw him asleep on his back. I figure he was dreaming about music because his fingers were moving.
