I know a lot of weight and substance is often placed on the soul and lyrics of these clips/songs, but if we momentarily strip out the 'culture' and 'sacredness,' what we're left with is essentially a 'jam band.' And in that context, the technical mastery is nothing short of astounding. Those razor-sharp harmonies are tossed around with effortless precision, sans auto-tune, like nothing more than taking a breath. The chops, the licks, the finger-work on that array of strings, the only kind of strings I dig, could rival any of my rock idols, past or present. I think the only fallacy, perhaps tragedy, to their seemingly effortless performances, is that these guys just wake up and walk down from the dew covered mountaintops being able to pull this stuff off at this level. These guys put in their 1000 hours, make no mistake, and I like celebrating that aspect of their craft more than anything.

Excellent Paul Warren.......

[@mlwsf]

The pick guards were serious in those days. :-)

[@michaelgribble720]

Mark Wilkins think a lot of them used fingerpicks back in the day where as now almost everyone uses a standard flat pick

[@steveakers5043]

At 10:29 Earl is thinkin' "That break sounded good and I'm sure gonna look good while this camera isn't supposed to be on me." 🤘🤣🤘

Imagine paying only one dollar instead of fifteen in some cases for a music book!

[@karlheven8328]

You have to adjust for inflation, people didn't get paid as much as now. Nowadays salaries are obviously higher across the board too, so the difference is not as extreme as your numbers may suggest

[@R.Lennartz]

@@karlheven8328 1 dollar in 1962 would be about 8.5 dollars nowadays

Lester singing out of the right side of his mouth, and HiLo out of his left side.

[@サブッチ-w3y]

当時こうしたコマーシャリズムに乗った音楽活動は斬新なスタイルだったと思います。アメリカの音楽文化にも広く影響を与えた気がします。

[@skydiverclassc2031]

Ol' Earl could pick that guitar, too.

[@MrDorbel]

Cheesy Muffins and a fruit salad plate? Oh well, takes all sorts!

[@skydiverclassc2031]

1 cup sugar, 1 can fruit cocktail, brown sugar, and butter sauce. Calories? What are those?

[@thomasbenson523]

Frank Brown more commonly known as Hylo Brown.

[@danielmorris3687]

+Thomas Benson Have you noticed Lester calls him Mylo instead of Hylo at the beginning of this show? Iv'e heard him do it a few other times also. Maybe Lester was getting forgetful already. He is older than most rest of the band but not that much older

[@theobluebird7283]

+ daniel morris Interesting observation. Well, Lester was 10 years older that Earl and was around 50 on this show, not too much for being forgetful. Maybe 'Mylo' was some personal joke in the band.
