As a survivor of this tragedy, I light a candle for them and the ones that are left with the aftermath that goes with it....29 years of pain..

[@ryanneufeld8053]

I rem seeing u with the crew in 1989 I belive Massey hall toronto always was fascinated about your sax abilities .I was I mexico in 91 when that happened . Shocked. Funny I was there almost 30 years to the day and when I was there I thought about them God bless

[@schtheguitarman]

These guys were not only great people, but as a band, they were some of the best musicians there was in country music. There's a live show with Reba on KZbin and this band was as tight as it got. Not only did reba's sound completely change after 91, she lost a great deal of herself. She will never have another drummer as good as Tony, nobody will ever compliment her voice the way Paula Kaye did, no other guitarist will ever have her back like Michael, and Jim Hammond can never be replaced. RIP

I remember when this tragedy occurred, it was so sad. I don't think anyone gets over a loss like this. God Bless. Rest in peace.

[@clady924]

It's hard to beleive that this happened 20 years ago. I was supposed to see Reba in concert in Denver. This was a sad loss for Reba and the families of those lost. I think that the trees are a wonderful way to remember those that were lost. Reba never forgets her band or her fans. Thank you.

[@blackcavalier60649]

Every year on march 16th I bow my head in silence for them. they will never be forgotten. The Crazy Eight Band. rest in peace

[@tamiincali37]

That was a beautiful tribute to those lost on that terrible day. May we never forget those who died. God Bless the families and Reba.

[@jtalson95m8]

I remember that day so well. I was listening to the radio and the DJ just got done playing a Reba song and then said, 'the world of country music is saddened today as Reba's band went down in a plane crash. First I thought Reba was on board. She then said, Reba who had been suffering from a bout of bronchitis stayed behind and was not on board the doomed flight. It was a sad day indeed. I back then was a major fan and did the backstage meet and greets. Fun times. RIP guys. Not forgotten.

[@joannaaguilar4961]

For my broken heart was the greatest song tribute for the people who died in the plane crash 32 years ago that's amazing song Reba

[@JenGrant18]

This touches my heart so much. I was born in the October of that year but being a huge fan of Reba and her music saddens me that she and the world had to go through such a horrific loss. The Lord is working on my heart as I listen to them play and sing together. 8 stars shine so brightly in the heavens.

[@SuperHotrod26]

Thank U Reba 4 continuing on. You have helped me heal from so many heart breaks n let downs in my 48 yrs. I have been w/you since you started, & have come thru so much becuz of you. I'M no longer "afraid 2 cross the sidewalk"! With the grace of God & you, I can raise my 13 yr old & 4 grandkids with my head up high. Thank you from my WHOLE heart. LUV LUV You!

[@billytruelove6199]

My wife and I saw them perform 6 days before the accident...Reba and her band closed out the 1991 performance of RodeoHouston on 3/10....Paula Kaye has relatives in our hometown of Corsicana, Tx...my wife was a country singer with a band for 40 years....she and Paula Kay both recorded a song 🎵 individually...called "Runnin' Out Again" in the 80's...

[@BeeKee404]

wow 20 years. i know all 8 of those band members are watching over reba and are very proud of her endless successful career. RIP, guys.

[@terrymckay9776]

Oh Dear Reba. I can only imagine the devastation of this great loss you experienced. My sincere sympathies to you, their family and friends. May they remain in your hears forever. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Starstrucknut]

Watched this again today in honor of them. It’s been 30 years but I remember it like yesterday. May they Rest In Peace and make beautiful music in heaven. 🙏🙏🙏

[@skippvandecar]

Awesome tribute.... I have in my possession a 1965 Mosrite guitar that was rebuilt after having its neck snapped off in that Terrible Crash, the guitar belongs to a friend. We learned its history after He purchased it... A sad piece of History..

[@wizardhype]

Reba never forgets those she cared about, Reba's the best.

[@Penelope4273]

This is an awesome video tribute to to your band. You are an inspiration to your fans as well as a great role model!

[@gotmarines]

beautiful tribute to beautiful, gifted, talented lives!

[@chatte578]

91 was a sad year 8 talented musicians died and then a great rock 70's and 80's singer died freddie mercury, im not a religious person but i hope they all R.I.P., this was a lovely tribute.....

[@deltaguy28]

My heart Is with the families and friends that lost a loved one in this tragic event 20 years ago! It seems just like yesterday.

[@davidsonfougere]

Very touching tribute.......they will never be forgotten.....RIP......

[@missjen2008]

this is so beautiful and touching. I was only one year old when this happened but when i fell in love with Reba at a young age I learn alot about the crash and it touched me deeply! Reba is such a strong person! I adore her so much! Thank you for sharing this! They will always be in my thoughts and prayers!

[@michelleevans4589]

I remember that The place where they were going is a hour away from here. It hit people hard . Still does

[@JimGrimes]

I remember this. I was living in Alaska at the time. In February, Reba and the ones in this video did the concerts there. I saw one of their last performances together in Fairbanks.

[@ajshat]

I remember this sad time so vividly, like it was just yesterday. Reba's album , "For My Broken Heart" she recorded later that yr, helped heal my broken heart from 1978 when 5 yr old my daughter was killed by a drunken driver as I'm sure it helped Miss Reba to record it. Music does indeed help heal broken hearts. I still listen to the song, "If I Had Only Known" when I am remembering my daughter. THANK YOU, REBA!

[@nevaehwalker1866]

Reba if u read this I feel horrible that your band died in that plane crash and I know it still hearts u today u are in my prayers and I hope when its your time that u and ur band are reunited just like u and your father will be when its your time I am crying while typing this and I wish your band did not pass away so fast or even in that way and when u do get up there I hope you find out why they were taken so fast a in that way love you Reba you are the best and I am proud to call you my idol

[@nataliastornello]

[@Lauracountrylover17]

[@SilkenCountry]

Awww... So many were stunned and profoundly saddened at the news of the crash. We were so sad for Reba especially. May they all rest in peace. The trees are a wonderful tribute!

[@phaffner4106]

Ms. McEntire, Life is so very fragile. I feel many losses this day given our situation as it is with this pandemic . I find your gospel music to give encouragement that is very needed. I remember this tragedy years ago. Tony Saputo was a classmate of mine. I knew his siblings as well. I pray that you know, how your faith and music bring people of faith protection during these times. My most sincere condolences on the passing of your Mother. I know you probably won't see my entry here... I find your message of Jesus Christ uplifting. God bless you and your family. Be Well and God Bless.

[@peachyclean93]

So sad they had to leave us so early but God was calling them home to play forever in the Kingdom with Jesus❤ amen

[@Lauracountrylover17]

[@ajshat]

@ ashley1955, so sorry for your loss of your friendships with Tony, Kirk, & Terry. When a loss like this happens we forget how many people are affected by their death! Friends miss them very much too, just like family, because they were part of your family, too! God Bless you for remembering them & the wonderful memories you got to share with them! You will always have that!

Sad story

[@meemeethecat7391]

SO SADDD.

[@tezterz]

very nice.

[@schtheguitarman]

@Ashley1955 Sorry. I can only imagine losing a friend like that. I'm a guitarist, haven't played drums in a while, but I have to say this. I've watched a Reba concert on youtube and I have to say this; Tony was an insanely great drummer. Wish I could hear all the Crazy 8 boys play again.

[@hoosierdaddy9277]

good but sad video - rip

[@courtneyfan9]

So sad

[@michelleevans4589]

I never did go to the concert I just couldn’t go

[@dickmartn]

[@niamograce9321]

Tony was the uncle I never got to meet.
