@Vito_TuxedoАй бұрын
@BGK2223 - The cameramen are important, but they're not calling the shots. The mind behind the visuals is the video director. He knows the song, knows who is playing what parts, and directs the video engineer to switch between multiple cameras. Each camera man is wearing a headset, and the director sets up the shots, calling them in advance - "Camera 2, go wide and close on Jerry's dobro to pick up both hands...", so the shot is already there. Then, when Jerry's solo comes up, the engineer switches to Camera 2, and...ZAH! - it's right there. They probably had a chance to run through the tune in a sound and video check, so the cameramen and engineers already had a good idea what needed to happen during the show. With a director who knows the music, it all comes together and looks smooth and perfect, like in this video. But all of these guys are masters of their craft, and the best of them can do a great job on the fly if they have to.

That 'slide guitarist' is Jerry Douglas who plays in Union Station, Alison Krauss' s band. I watched a video on his guitars he plays and they are very, very special instruments as well.

Pick up the album "New Favorite" by Alison Krauss & Union Station and you should love every tune thereon. ;--)

I am not a country music fan by any means but this is stunningly beautiful, and not simply because it’s a Paul Simon song. All through the song you don’t get to see the drummer but I’m thinking it’s so good it can only be....yes it is, Mr Steve Gadd!

One of my very favorite songs of all time. Love this performance, all three of them are amazing but Alison Krause is just heavenly.

This song always make me emotional ever since Paul Simon performed it on the first SNL after 09/11. This version amplifies my emotions 1000 times.
