Jerry Reed & Chet Atkins - "Summertime" (Live)

Two TRUE Masters. RIP Jerry and Chet!

[@henry-joemurphy1286]

Jerry Reed is an undeniable genius... and perhaps the most under-appreciated writer, musician, singer, producer actor, personality of all time... Who can truly be compared to him? Someone please name another man who wrote HIT songs, recorded them performed them, played on scores of other HITS as a recording session musician, was an entertainer personality and major movie Hollywood actor?

[@vaporman442]

Sammy Davis Jr. might fit the bill on that one. Plus the dancing. And a pretty amazing drummer, too.

[@henry-joemurphy1286]

Bob Carroll Yes! Sammy was awesome! But Sammy actually gotta a lot of recognition... Jerry had him on musicianship, songwriting and acting (IMHO)

[@kskate6036]

I agree completely, very few closest I’d say might be Jamie Fox

[@womandela7225]

And good lookin too!

[@scdecade]

Dolly Parton and Glen Campbell

[@dennisrountree5376]

I’ve heard a thousand versions of that song. That’s the best! Jerry reed was feeling good! lol

[@dennisrountree5376]

That is the best Jerry reed and Chet ! People can’t play or sing like that anymore

[@wildbillhackett]

That would have been a hit in an age when good music still got played on the radio.

[@A.S.EnglishLessons]

The best rendition of this great classic. Rest the musical souls of the two grand masters.

[@DUGGER1947]

Chet said "he developed this fret-less guitar and didn't know why he did it." But OMG what a great and unique sound this thing produces!

[@christophermay4998]

What an incredible blend of electric acoustic and electric guitar......not under or over done.....simply perfect.....Chet Jerry and band......👍👍👍👍

[@jefforyrichardson9479]

I would submit, as something close, this performance of 'The Sultans of Swing', by Tommy Emanual (another CGP alumni), John Jorgenson, and Pedro Javier González.

[@sunaJH]

I saw Jerry in Fresno at the Fair-he was the warmest most charismatic guitar player I ever met, I asked him to play Lightning Rod, he politely had to decline (I'm sure it wasn't in his current line up) but it was cool meeting him-he shined like Elvis did

[@johntapp7232]

Smelly skunk from Palmdale. My Dad’s parents lived in next door Lancaster, California for many years.

[@A.S.EnglishLessons]

What's there to say? All I do is just sit back and take it all in, again, again and again... And each time it sounds better than the previous time. Thank you for posting this great clip. RIP the two Grand Masters.

[@deanmoore420]

[@kathypriddy8430]

Absolutely Brilliant!! Thank You So very Much..

[@alldogz13]

That was three days after I was born... Rock on Chet and Jerry..

[@johntapp7232]

It sounds eerily 1960s. I guess that Chet Atkins defined country that decade.

[@slowfootlabeef704]

[@moreththerogue6218]

The pressure that kid on the right must be under. Two of the best pickers in all the land and they want it all in one take.

[@Zacharia503]

A fresh-faced Pat Bergerson giving us a taste of things to come...

[@kevincraft778]

Paul Yandell was just as fine a CGP as the other 5....Pat B added more to that tune than what he’s given credit for in this thread.

[@samspace81]

Hot Jam!

[@thedivineenergy]

[@SuperLocrian]

Is this whole show available anywhere -= anyone know??

[@terencewalker8802]

Doesn't get any Better

[@rickrodrigues2219]

Love this upperty bouncy lighthearted beat version of this old classic "Summertime" ...it's makes for a happy exhilarating feeling, although the original (lazy version) is supposed to render a "laid back" feeling typical of summer!

[@BoDash]

Would George Gershwin approve? I believe he would.

[@RichardHSears]

Two greats from two different generations!

[@gks6022]

Be sure and find the interview with Jerry where he talks about auditioning a song for Chet...and was so shook up he had to get up and leave. Great story, and 2 great guys.

[@Crackers2549]

Masters they were...! RIP... Pat Bergeson on the Strat, great... And anybody who'd thumb this down must be an idiot...! You couldn't carry either of their guitars!

[@thejoyofsoxmovie7211]

And Pat played a masterful harmonica on another cut from this concert, Don't Think Twice. Also hugely talented.: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHrOdoWfm9hmha8&ab_channel=Don%27tThinkTwiceIt%27sAllRight

[@antonioeustaquioamaral3421]

Genial...

[@yahoogy]

This aint just music folks-This is religion on high...

[@arleyrojas-musico]

Me encanta

[@EarthMedia2009]

If anyone noticed Chet is playing a fret less guitar

[@BossNotes]

EarthMedia2009 it’s got the razzle kinda sound for sure , nylons I suppose combined with fret less

[@ranhar1]

Yes, one he designed.

[@larrycoffey4606]

With metal fingerboard

[@ronniewoods2155]

mickslone x

[@AHA-ui2ep]

Delicious

[@jpbouffard]

[@jacoblapidus13]

[@johntapp7232]

I thought he played a Gretsch guitar!

[@manusharte1160]

[@darrelltiencken2194]

[@biggmike5991]

Real Deal

[@grimaldi07]

[@braddoiron5264]

Please tell me which dvd concert this is! I had it years ago and it got stolen. Id like to purchase or get from apple music

[@martymcpeak4748]

if you can't tap you foot to this your legs are broken. lol

[@juniorwels6611]

Классно. Мне так нравится этот кавер, что иной раз я слушаю его даже с большим удовольствием чем оригинал )

[@Solic2002]

+Junior Wels На диске (без слов) еще лучше :)

[@ildarlatfulin4233]

Не подскажите где послушать оригинал?

[@juniorwels6611]

Ildar Latfulin louis armstrong - summertime эта песня была написана Гервшиным, её исполняло несколько человек после которых она стала популярной. Луис один из них. Можно сказать оригинал.

[@ildarlatfulin4233]

Спасибо

[@juniorwels6611]

Ildar Latfulin Да слушай на здоровье. Захочешь понежнее, послушай Фиджеральд. Впрочем, теперь уже разберешься сам )

[@robertlee8042]

Fretless guitar?

[@deadmanfry25]

Believe this is Cafe Milano Nashville?

[@rossmcbride4604]

Who is playing the Gibson behind Chet Atkins on the fretless . Looks like Chet Atkins but he’s not there next scene !

[@old-time-family-cooking]

Paul Yandel. Paul played with Chet for over 25 years.

[@alexanderkang2755]

Is that fret less guitar Chet is playing?

[@tomratigan1549]

Is God good?? YES!!

[@rickrodrigues2219]

Nope...look carefully.

[@theHumanBryno]

I dunno, it both looks and sounds like a fretless. There are markings, but no actual frets as far as I can tell.

[@A.S.EnglishLessons]

Yes, it is. There's another clip where he plays the same tune on the same guitar and he says that it is fretless.

[@brunoblivious]

Rick Rodrigues That is most certainly a fretless. I have the VHS of this concert and Chet specifically says it's a fretless. Also, you'd have to be deaf not to hear that it's a fretless. The markings you see may be because it was converted from a fretted guitar. I've seen DIY fretless basses that have the same look to them.

[@TheWood005]

Anyone know what year this was recorded?

[@abjork3]

1992 at The Bottom Line in New York. Buy the DVD !

[@duckfoot22]

Well worth the money! A bunch of really good songs recorded live, no soundtrack, just pure talent!

[@johntapp7232]

Oh that just doesn’t seem possible!! True, but it falls 1968!!

[@steatipygous]

Beautiful guitar pickin, anyone know who the other two musicians are?

[@ranhar1]

Thomas Manach Paul Yandell (RIP) and Pat Bergeson on the Strat.

[@jimmyhansen5842]

Pat Bergeson on strat type guitar and Paul Yandell on Country Gent.

[@daleflurey3411]

I see frets on Chet's guitar. It's an electric acoustic. I'm pretty sure he's running his guitar into a processor that gives it that fretless-like sound.

[@ZatarainLeRice]

+Dale Flurey Those are just markings where the fret wires would be. The wires themselves are not there, though.

[@jimmyhansen5842]

It's a fretless guitar. With fret markings only.😊

[@BluesMan88]

can someone tell me if this is on dvd? if so what is this called?

[@duckfoot22]

Ace Arciaga It's from the DVD, Chet Atkins and Jerry Reed in concert.

[@loriwolf1406]

Ace Arciaga THE DVD IS CALLED JERRY REED N CHET ATKINS IN CONCERT AT THE BOTTOM LINE ON 6-22-92. I HAVE THE CONCERT AT THE BOTTOM LINE. ON DVD IT, S SO AWESOME TO WATCH. YOU WILL REALLY ENJOY LISTING TO THE MUSIC. N WATCH 3 AWESOME GUITAR PICKERS. N 2 WONDERFUL AWESOME GREAT SINGERS. CHET ATKINS N JERRY REED ARE JUST LIKE BROTHERS. SO EJOY. HAVE A VERY NICE DAY.

[@arleyrojas-musico]

who is the electric guitar?

[@generaleehank]

pat bergeson. Great guy and player. Think ive seen him do harmonica work also.

[@arleyrojas-musico]

thank you, is amazing

[@lw216316]

the way he holds the pick looks unusual - very delicate

[@ranhar1]

And Paul Yandell; the only one in the video still living is Pat..

[@oysterman12johnnybuckets3]

Are you kidding me, fretless neck.

[@user-ey1ve7sf7z]

надзвичайно просто не порівняти....
