Vince Gill & Paul Franklin - Together Again

[@KLUNKET]

GREATEST INSTRUMENT ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH- PERIOD

[@smalllicks]

exactly ...coolest instrument ever

[@Chasedeer]

I ran across this video during dinner and I had to stop eating because Paul’s steel playing literally made me cry it’s so beautiful.

[@jth8002]

Thank you. He was my grandmothers student. The steel you hear is her style all the way. I listen to this all the time so that I can still hear her play. This is exactly how her and I used to play it every Sunday for more than 20 years.

[@Sobsong59]

Wow...just wow, the combination of Gill and Franklin is country heaven sent, the rest of the band are awesome too, we are blessed to have these people among us...sad Dawn is no longer around.

[@ghairraigh]

I never heard ANYONE play steel like Paul Franklin, especially those sustained chord glissandos in which he continually manipulates the pedals to extend an idea. It is like one note is slid upward while the remainder of the chord remains the same - genius! I have never heard any steel player sound like he is circular-breathing before.

[@jth8002]

Thank you for that. My grandma was his teacher on peddle steel. Started out with Hawaiian with her. Everytime I hear him play it reminds me of her. Brings tears to my eyes. She was my rock and gave me the gift of music. I have her Gibson that she played with him and that i grew up playing.

[@jth8002]

That Gibson that Vince plays. Yeah I have the same one just in a different color. Given to me by Wanda Bruening, Pails Hawaiian teacher. Damn I miss that woman.

[@KLUNKET]

exactly- gave me chills

[@cornbobrimlove7892]

This is without a doubt some of the very best steel guitar playing that I have ever heard!!!

[@jimmymullen7825]

Paul Franklin..the very best...........

[@crossingthemountain]

I love that man!

[@mutz1950]

All that I can say is "if every note has to sound like the one before it; then noone will ever appreciate Paul Franklin". The steel break is one of the best ever; AND, I would bet that John Hughey or any other steeler would be proud to hear it. I know that us 'letric guitar lead players will appreciate it as well. Great job on the entire song, Paul.

[@plantenplatt]

Best steel work I have heard in years.

[@B388key]

What taste! What soul! The best steel guitar solo I've ever heard on this song!

[@petervankan1]

To those who think the steelplayer is off: he's putting some jazz in it in a most original and sophisticated way. Look at Vince smiling during the solo.

[@rorysuire6177]

Those who are saying that are idiots.first off, Vince Gill will not I repeat will not waste his time playing with someone who is not top dog material. And 2nd, One of the best steel players in the world, playing will not be off. Bet on that.

[@cincinnatipedalsteel4347]

Anyone who thinks Paul was “off” at any point doesn’t understand music let alone pedal steel.

[@atlavga]

Paul Franklin is absolutely one of the best pedal steel players alive. He knocked it out of the park that night, if you ask me.

[@jth8002]

Thank you he was a student of my grandmother

[@saxman7131]

Right. Steel player is on point.

[@anitadavideduo]

Always amazing Paul!!! It was magic for us playing with the Time Jumpers!

[@phyllissparger8543]

He's the best Country Singer and Guitar player ever !!!! Love to hear you sing this song !!!!

[@billalexander1107]

Nothing will ever be better than these 2 guys together again

[@patrickobrien.2028]

What an amazing combination. Vince Gill's vocal and guitar playing and Paul Franklin's steel guitar. Incredible. Could listen to this forever.

[@yvonneseewald6459]

Vince Gill one of the best singer in country music. Love his music.The band was excellent,That steel guitar is awesome..

[@erikafreebird6449]

Voice like honey, melting my heart.❤️ Great song, talented musicians!

[@jth8002]

Paul Franklin was originally start playing steel guitar here in michigan. My grandma Wanda Bruening was his first instructor. And everytime I hear him play I hear her. Her method of teaching still rings clear. And actually paul has used her teachings to him in all of his steel lessons

[@marscoloradotuesday855]

Incredible! How in the world! That steel is pure heaven.

[@crlguitar1]

Vince is still the BEST! I never get tired of listening to his voice and guitar playing!

[@lanes58]

Crying in your beer pedal steel, doesn't get any better than this!

[@bluegrassfan23]

What a great song. Thanks for the video. This song was still going really BIG when I returned from Viet Nam...... So -- it has a special meaning -- and now married over 50 years.......

[@cornbobrimlove7892]

This vid is probably Paul's best improvisation of the solo out of all that I've heard on You Tube........very soulful and tasty note choicing.

[@zainalak7901]

Have you heard Alan Jackson's song "THIS TIME"?

[@cornbobrimlove7892]

@@zainalak7901 No. I'm talking about all of the versions of his solo on this song here on youtube.

[@airaielion]

I can't. This video is so beautiful, singing is so sweet, by one of the heats, Vince and Paul on the steel guitar is a mathmatical genius! I can't handle it but weep! Bring back this music! Much love! Too good! So heavy, but pure Joy!

[@SuperMissDaisey]

AwwwVince is having a good time, rock on Vince , your Awesome, enjoyed this clip & you.

[@ianufton8431]

Awesome --- Paul F and Vince G --- what a partnership --- hope I live long enough to see what majic they can produce --- P F is without a doubt the best steeler ever .

[@brycebukowsky616]

Wow, wow, wow. Love this song and I have seen many videos of it, which are all good, but Paul is absolutely amazing on the steel on this! Thanks y'all for playing real Country!

[@webbjr37]

Love Buck Owens, Love Vince Gill, Thanks Vince for singing some great country when its not popular to do so Buck would be proud

[@jerrywofford924]

Paul you are tearing my heart out with that steel!

[@abrazonnevylle2085]

Paul gives all he has for Vince. Incredible to hear and watch.

[@FabbyGabby3]

Oh how I miss that good 'ol' country music.... thanks for the share ..love Vince's new cd "Bakersfield'!

[@MrJimc2]

Thru all the years of great music and superb musicians, no on can be considered "THE BEST" at any particular instrument regardless of the genre. Though I want to say that Paul Franklin is "THE BEST" steel player ever, I can certainly assure you that NO ONE is better!

[@garycarmell6767]

Just AWESOME steel guitar playing!

[@Sportsmaven]

Franklin and Gill are two of the best ever!

[@carolnoel9774]

i love vice gill and every song he sings...he is the best singer and a very handsome man.

[@99iwaena]

That's some awesome steel guitar playing, superb!

[@piyabiswas9475]

So beautiful song..yes its so nice to be together again and be happy as perfect family..nice..

[@feathermerchant2102]

Paul Franklin OMG unbelievable perfection!

[@TheCcgirl12]

took me back to the old days with that one! thanks for that awesome reminder!

[@tomcoryell]

One of the greatest voices ever in country music. I wish he would have stood up and sang through something other than a ‘58, but hey anyone can be a critic, there’s only one Vince Gill.

[@bmccaul01]

So love love love pedal steel!

[@robertwoodrum1333]

This man is country. Who gonna fill their shoes. No one in the so called country world today. That's sad, so sad.

[@mikey123422]

Nic , u r right --- absolutely brilliant touch , tone , feel and expression --- never tire of listening to this version --- much better than the CD .

[@vendanges3]

Steel guitar's what is missing in today's Country Music! Buck Owens would be proud of this version of his number 1 hit! :-)

[@cornbobrimlove7892]

There is a hell of a lot more missing than just the steel guitar.....They can't sing on pitch, songs suck, no nice melody, no 3/4 time, and a TOTAL ABSENCE OF ANY REAL COUNTRY SOUND WHAT SO EVER......

[@nicholasdedring2713]

Paul Franklin makes me want to take my steel guitars, amps and gear and sell them and never pretend I know how to play ever again in my damned life. As much as I love Tom and his classic break on this song, this is unbelievable stuff... I couldn't look away from 1:42 through the end of that passage.

[@jmontana66]

Gorgeous arpeggio at 2:31.

[@terrillwebb2807]

Nicholas Dedring I know EXACTLY how you feel, but evidently you have great taste in music so don't ever quit. I'm a big fan of Ralph Mooney and I'll bet you are too.

[@bearthalamas9241]

That's how I felt when I left my amp onstage for Randy Reinhardt (rip) when we opened for Johnny Rodriguez. That amp has never sounded that good for me lol.

[@marythompson5458]

VINCE PURE COUNTRY HE CAN BING TEARS TO YOUR EYES HIM ANDPAUL SOUND BEAUTIFUL ON THIS OLDIE

[@nbk9372]

George Strait & Allen Jackson- Murder on music row, the best illustration of what happened to our true beloved country music!

[@blndrckr]

I just got a pedal steel... steep learning curve..people dont realize that both feet, knees, hands involved not to mention the cognitive requirements..just a beautiful instrument ..thanks for this beautiful sounding video...love and tolerance

[@lynnmillerjr7418]

You cant get much better than Vince. I have More of his records than anybodys.

[@frankdavino7187]

The solo of his life right here !

[@strawman8]

I'm not a big,big fan of the Time Jumpers but I sure do like listenin to Vince and Dawn,..........awesome.Thanks.

[@joycesikora6036]

Oh the memories this brings. My first love.

[@cherylannwhittington7595]

Love that steel guitar

[@dougstewart841]

THIS MAN IS SO TALENTED..... SINGER,SONGWRITER AND INSTRUMENTALIST!!I I AM IN AWE OF VINCE....... VERY HUMBLE ,VERY CONFIDENT,VERY THOUGHTFUL IN EVERY WAY.I LOVE IT WHEN HE AND PATTY LOVELACE PERFORM TOGETHER! SPARKY

[@Golfer964]

that is good country music.......

[@SirGigalot941]

"Together Again" brings out steel guitar at it's best! The chord that "Ranger" Doug Green pulls off on that steel guitar at 2:32.. is GOLDEN! I think it a G6/9, but they way he slides into it is amazing... even Vince smiles at it!!

[@rockinredneck57]

SirGigalot941 IF that were Ranger Doug that would be true. But, since it's Paul Franklin and NOT Ranger Doug, it's still a great solo. Doug doesn't play steel guitar. But he strums a mean hollow body and yodels to beat the band.

[@latachia_2981]

Real country music at it's finest!!!!

[@JHasselroth]

Saw this show in St. Charles, IL at the Arcada. Vince was so nice and signed the book from my album that night. I will always love Vince Gill.

[@JamesSanders]

OMG, something in my eye..love this one..amazing.

[@georgedavidmorris9250]

Vince Gill what a nice voice.Wish i could sing like him.Played Country for eight years in NYS.

[@alanwright9102]

Awesome version of a great song👍

[@CARDINAL701]

This is exactly why Paul Franklin Jr. does all those sessions. He knows how to 'bend 'em' baby..........

[@calebrosazza]

About 2 1/2 minutes in is about the coolest thing ive ever heard

[@adrianotero7963]

So nice.....this is country,this is talent.....

[@georgedavidmorris9250]

Pauls one of the best at the Petal Still

[@geraldd10]

Well, I had always thought the my favorite steel break was in Alan Jackon's Farewell Party, followed by the ride at the end of Dire Strait's Walk of Life and the break in David Peterson's You're Too Easy to Remember. Wait a minute, Paul played all of those. That break in that version of Together Again is my new favorite. Way to go Paul!!

[@zainalak7901]

the song "This Time" alan jakson is also good plus the sound of the banjo

[@pseudosun]

2:31 descending slide made vince smile. Awesome

[@nicolenannariello5905]

No one can play steel better than Paul Franklin

[@ponytoes]

I love this (Vince's hat is a little silly, but his voice makes up for it many times over) ... pedal steel is stellar and the fiddler is awesome!

[@janieduncan7733]

I love these guys

[@douglasellington5077]

This would make Buck Owens very proud!

[@cpmingus1]

That's Music Mr Franklin! Wow. Oh yea that singers pretty good too. Saw Paul at Guitartown this year and last in semi loose jamming sets with Brent Mason and John Jourgenson etc and he sounded well....perfect.

[@curbshoppin]

thats some awesome pickin and singing....masters at work

[@janethardy3208]

I would love to hear Vince sing some blues. ❤️

[@ChopperWard]

WOW! Absolutely Beautiful

[@Alabamaexpress]

Two of my favourites Vince and Paul

[@texastwostep]

good enough to bring tears to my eyes. WOW.

[@djgeo72]

Amazing rendition. @Pat Dee, I'm not sure what you're listening to, but both Paul & Vince put their own spin on this classic. Hardly overdone. Thanks for posting!!!

[@reelinanrockin]

How awesome is this Vince and Paul killing it. 5

[@carolynmclernon3973]

WOW! Love you guys.Please come to Belfast.Amazing talent.We would die to hear y'all.The McLernon family Lisburn N.irelandxxx

[@pwea1anda2]

That deff is hard core pedal steel guitar playing . Thx for such a great post .

[@theresadarnell1577]

I think VINCE GILL IS THE ELVIS PRESLEY OF COUNTRY MUSIC!!!!

[@CoffmanEJ]

first song I learned on steel...love this song and always will. If only what he's singing about happened in real life though.

[@vanscheurich2099]

Got the tabs on this very song also.

[@vanscheurich2099]

Vince sings a verse and then Paul plays and vice versa thorough the song. Vince & Paul do this method on many songs. Great harmony between the two.

[@picker61]

I just now read the comments, whoever couldn't recognize the greatness of Paul Franklin here h

[@johnstroh4496]

Love the steel pedal and Vince’s vocals are great!

[@alanwright9102]

This is a killer song!

[@carolbiggs722]

Great song love Vince singing it

[@Mr70sDJ]

Franklin, what else can I say.

[@janeames2757]

He's the best of the best love that man music😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊

[@johnstroh9948]

Four of the absolute best - the Time Jumpers, Dawn Sears, Paul Franklin and Vince Gil

[@CARDINAL701]

Not much doubt about why Paul Franklin Jr. has made such a name for himself, not only among steel guitarists, but everywhere in Nashville. Boy did some practicing when he was a kid...........

[@jimknopf64]

GREAT STEEL!!!!!

[@MoonSteeler]

WHAT A FANTASTIC SOLO. SO IMPRESSIVE JR (UK)

[@carolbiggs722]

love this

[@Sportsmaven]

Paul Franklin is the best steel guitar player ever

[@rockinredneck57]

Sportsmaven He's certainly one of the best. Steel guitar starts at Buddy Emmons and trickles down from there. Paul and Mike Johnson today are probably the cream of the crop.

[@tinascissor1319]

What a song and what a voice

[@jamesscott19]

Vince brilliant,Steel superb

[@barbarajmanning8104]

Paul Franklin is DA MAN!

[@percyoved4284]

Now this is really county music not like the shit you hear this days

[@teleplayersteelplayer1151]

Wow Mr.Franklin rules !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mikey123422]

This is a better version than what is on Bakersfield -- Paul is so much stronger .

[@cornbobrimlove7892]

I totally agree

[@texastwostep]

the steel guitar player is so awesome.
