Ernest Tubb and the Texas Troubadours ~ Seattle, Washington

[@Happy_guy_12]

Ernest Tubb's music is a part of our lives every day!!!

[@hiramking9458]

The live show was in 1965 in Washington state. Ernest played the the high school auditorium in New Westminster before going on to Washington. I got Ernest's autograph a chance to say he is high on my hero list.

[@rustyshackleford4958]

Who else is on that list?

[@aaronpaterson1615]

This album is my favourite Ernest Tubb live recordings, class if country humour and musicianship

[@laslos3]

Agreed! It’s a good example of country artists doing what they do do well.

[@davidjoines8852]

This is a great album. This is country music 🎼

[@evaconde7220]

One of the reason why I really like Ernest tubb because he looks like my uncle, my mom's elder brother. I never felt of dislike listening to his beautiful songs all day long especially his raspy voice.

[@2packs4sure]

Lol,,, ol ET put that raspy voice to good use !! :)

I'd pay anything, in order to watch such a live show. Here between us, but Texas Troubadours really was an outstanding band. Thanks, 2packs4sure, for the hint.

[@2packs4sure]

Oh man,, to travel back in time and watch that show !!! I wouldn't pay "anything" cause I'm too cheap,, lol,,, but I'd pay A LOT !!

[@msgfrmdaactionman3000]

Look up his TV show, they play live.

It is the best ET album I've ever heard thanks for the post

[@2packs4sure]

Yeah it is awesome and it's something of a miracle it exists at all !!

[@msgfrmdaactionman3000]

Thanks for the concert! I don't know if he would play there now if he was alive in 2022.

[@2packs4sure]

He would do a solid hour of Shania Twain covers....... lol

[@ModMokkaMatti]

It would certainly be rather difficult for ET to play the Spanish Castle now, because the magic's long since gone, and it no longer exists. 😢

[@westernwashingtonhistory1889]

About the same time for me too and I couldn't get over how great it was. Still can't !!!

[@get__some]

dang. this is happy

[@5thcorps]

You can smell the beer.......

[@bobnelson5963]

This is great with one exception - they have Buddy Charleton mixed way down in the mix. everything else sounds great.

[@samking73]

He's my favorite Steel player. I love his style. Too bad they buried him in this one.

[@bobnelson5963]

@@samking73 I just listened to that last week, and had the same gripe bout how good everyone BUT! Buddy sounded.

[@samking73]

@@bobnelson5963 I can (if I can hear him) always tell if its Charleton in the song on steel. He has such a great style.

[@bobnelson5963]

@@samking73 Yes, he had a very bouncy (I heard it described as happy and playful) style. Charleton and Hughey are the two styles I comb through the most in search for direction in my own approach to the instrument: Charleton's very musical approach to phrasing and mix of sparse two note, to complex three note intervals, and Hughey's approach to obscure harmonies, bar shiver and upper register work, along with both's superior technique on E9 And C6 is what draws me their way.

[@bobnelson5963]

[@JoeMGajdowski]

Sad, so sad!!! The enterrtainers of today don't do concerts like this. so personal and for the fans. doing requests. Read online that the Spanish Castle was razed three years after this and is now a Walgreens since 2006. :(((((

[@2packs4sure]

Yeah, it's a different world,,,,, MUCH different.....

[@zachgates7491]

So that was Cal Smith on “Lonesome 7-7203”? (Great number, has a jazz feel to it). Anyone else from the band singing here?

[@2packs4sure]

Yep that was Cal, I don't think there is more band members on this but I can't remember,, years ago there used to be a full 2cd set of the full show with ALL the band doing there solos and what not but it's long out of print.

[@geneguitar1]

Would anyone know what the band line up was on this? You are so right about Mr. Tubb being in good voice. The one thing I miss on this is Buddy Charlton's steel. It sounds mixed too low most of the time. Might be a problem on my end. Mr. 2pack4sure, God bless you for putting up this great, great music.

[@2packs4sure]

This was the "Great Band" lineup, Leon Rhodes [gt], Cal Smith [gt], Buddy Charleton [steel], Jack Drake [bass], Jack Greene [drums], and ET. As far as the mix goes, there is no mix. ET's ex drummer Jan Kurtis set up an Ampex stereo reel to reel and let it fly, it came out amazingly well considering.

[@packingten]

Gene ONeill. This was prob a little cassette recorder...you expect a mix?.....

[@pwea1anda2]

no cassettes in 1966

[@pwea1anda2]

Its a reel fat sound reel to reel Brother !

[@mh7779]

Gene ONeill you’re right, the steel was too low. I bought the CD about 30 years ago and that’s the way it’s recorded.

[@kinkfloydd]

I just talked today to the guy who was engineer on this recording, altho ex troubadore drummer is credited for the recording, he had helped. I was told that most of the songs were recorded in a recording studio since the acoustics were terrible in the spanish castle and that make sense since the recording quality is really good, too good in fact.

[@2packs4sure]

That guy is confused,, I think he's talking about the attempts that Decca made to do a live E.T. recording. They were never happy with what they got so they worked up a few "pseudo live" albums. One was the famous MIdnight Jamboree album hosted by E.T. with various artists and two more albums that were exclusively E.T. and The Troubadours. The first pseudo live E.T. album was the Ernest Tubb ON TOUR album Decca DL-74321 from December 1962. The second pseudo live E.T. album was the HITTIN' THE ROAD album Decca DL-74681 from November 1965. Those were both "PSEUDO" live albums, they used E.T.'s existing Decca recordings with live chatter and crowd noise to simulate a live recording just as your friend described. Decca did quite a few variations of the pseudo live albums in the 60's, On Stage At The Grand Ole Opry was another I think,, Saturday Night at the Grand Ole Opry volumes one thru whatever,,,,,,,, all pseudo live,, I bought a couple of those WAY back but quickly figured out the fakery. I can't listen to any of those except I can tolerate the Midnight Jamboree album for some reason, I believed it was actually live for a good while way back then until I obtained a 45 rpm of Webb Pierce's song SWEET LIPS which is on the album,, it became obvious very quickly that it was the exact same recording. RCA Victor also did at least one pseudo live Grand Ole Opry double album that I owned but RCA also managed some excellent REAL live country recordings. Anyway........ The audio on this video is FOR REAL LIVE,,,, recorded by E.T.'s ex drummer Jan Kurtis at the Spanish Castle ballroom in Seattle, Washington in late 1965. Believe me.

Hello again, I’m just now finding these comments. This is why I appreciate your channel because of the research you do and you are ready to correct any misinformation and you do it nicely. Lol Thanks, Lou

[@ronaldmeyers1342]

I'd disagree with that , what about when the bulb exploded, and other communications with the audience.

[@7550375503]

The audio engineer is also a drummer. Guess that answers for the drums being good & fat.

[@2packs4sure]

And it didn't hurt a bit that Jack Greene played loud !
