Marty Stuart Show - Guest, Johnny Rivers (May 18, 2013)

[@moonlightlady6126]

You know Marty Stuart is so gracious and so talented. Any of his shows are just a joy to behold. And Johnny Rivers I've loved you since back in the day! GREAT SHOW!!!

[@flautalee3090]

I hope to see a show this year. It’s Covid-time, late June 2021.

[@siitupecoffin8603]

Marty Stuart is the best of the best old timers, you can’t get any better than that. Go Marty number one USA. Peace

[@frankiedunham6678]

Wow pure gold

[@simfaithguitar1]

I cannot get over how only four guys can make so much great music!

[@lawrencegenereux8567]

It's pure talent, without egos getting in the way. When musicians all pull together in the same direction, amazing things can happen. God bless the real players, they do make a joyful noise unto the Lord (translation for the non-believers: they kick mother f-in ass).

[@oldermusiclover]

same way when Marty had Roger Mc of the Byrds on

[@strattuner]

pure talent,that magic voice just wont let him and us down long live johnny rivers

[@tomhenneberry1978]

Thanks Lester. Could never get enough of Johnny Rivers. It is a travesty that he was never inducted into the Rock "N Roll Hall of Fame. He is a genuine talent, on the scene for nearly 50 years!

[@sampson1959]

johnny rivers took good care of himself.still sings in the same key after 45 plus yearsvery.underated guitarist.good to see

[@dabneyoffermein595]

yes, fish and water

[@matthewtaylor2185]

Fine wine aged gracefully...his voice is better here than in earlier years. More soul in there now.

[@daveconleyportfolio5192]

His performing gets most of the attention, but he also had a huge run of success as a producer, bringing The Fifth Dimension and Jimmy Webb to the public.

[@direwolf6234]

those were some complex chords ....

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

This is real Country Music played by real legends. It doesn't get better than this.

[@lawrencegenereux8567]

This band is the real deal. They kick ass, and don't hurt a soul in the process. All 100% artists.

[@saulyoh]

He sounds great! Great video! Johnny Rivers is so underrated. A true rock 'n roll icon...

[@jennifursun3303]

agree and i prefer this version of Poor Side Of Town without the strings

[@rossfriday498]

One of his great songs and yes he should be in rocking roll hall of fame.

[@callmeroy70]

Johnny still has the great voice. Playing with Marty and his band, they have created the best version of "Poor Side of Town". Fabulous!This sounds better than 90% of the new music coming out anymore.Don't worry, Johnny, you are in many people's Hall of Fame.

There just isnt anyone that can can sing and play like Johnny Rivers! From whenever he started singing songs, ive been a fan of his! Still am!!

[@stringbender57]

Fantastic show! Johnny Rivers is as great as ever. I love his voice, guitar playing and songs. A big influence to me and so many others. He deserves so much more recognition!

[@RickShort21]

What an incredible show, studio band, host, lead guitarist, and guests. WOW! I so wish there were shows like this on TV these days. Huge props to Johnny Rivers. He’s superb.

[@daleharapat4440]

"Summer Rain" is probably one of the five best American songs ever and its is one of the most underated songs. "Summer Rain" actually gains in popularity every year. Rivers has a voice that stokes up emotions and can capture magic in all songs that he does.....

[@paulbillingham6769]

Well said Dale, will add that his guitar playing is so under rated when you consider that back in the day, he was singing and smiling into the camera at the same time. You don't hear many major 7ths or augmented chords these days either.

[@themainstreetremedy6146]

@@paulbillingham6769 Really interesting. He waited around after his show at Camel Rock Casino near Santa Fe, NM and signed everyone's autograph that wanted it....He was a complete gentleman. No arrogance, very nice guy.

[@mauricemccann3790]

@@themainstreetremedy6146 He did the same thing in Nashville 4 years ago! Must have been 750 people in line. He signed everyone's album, poster, etc. and had one of his staff members take photos while he posed with every fan.

[@TakeTheRide]

Yep I'm just listened to it twice in a row. Haven't heard it in a long time and I forgot how good it is. I've always loved the song rain by Jose feliciano but it's way too short. He should have made it three times as long. Also rain by Uriah heep.

[@evelyncompton1662]

I watched this b4 , but glad to watch again !!! Gotta stay on the rite track !! Lol😅🎉😂❤love JOHNNY RIVERS

[@TUBULETD46]

Go, Johnny...you are a well deserving, HALL of FAME super star!

[@grahamwride1240]

The years fall away; Johnny Rivers sounds as good as ever ...

[@larsdybvad4789]

I really did´nt know Johnny Rivers was that good. Sensationel singing and guitarplaying. I remember him from the radio in the 1960´s. These days he´s even much better ! Thank you for first class intertaintment!

[@fw1421]

I’ve seen Johnny twice at Billy Bob’s Texas back in the early 2000’s. He always puts on a good show and is one of the nicest guys you may meet. He always hangs out at the end of his show and sins autographs and chats with fans. Great guy.

[@sebnn]

j rivers what a velvet voice blows me away could listen all day long

[@duffgordon9005]

i do and i have figured out why ....jr vibe/sound/no matter what genre is better than taking every "provensupplement" in the whole world. "Geritol for our generation" and this Stuart gi=uy

[@DougHinVA]

Johnny Rivers is a giant of popular music with solid hit after hit for many years.

[@daleharapat4440]

Great legendary performer. Johnny has done some of my favorite music my entire life. A voice like Roy Orbison...an excellent entertainer like Elvis. Rivers is an American treasure....Such a wonderful singer and rock star...Johnny helped give rock radio stations their Golden Age with his songs. He is really one of the best ever.

[@aloisemason3044]

Marty Stewart a legend and phenomenal hasn't changed..great guitar stringer and his solar voice is terrific..Band is fantastic

[@robertlaguirremusic7381]

I think I’ve watched this show 2 or 3 times. Marty Stuart and The Fabulous Superlatives always lift my spirit

[@phillecompte3438]

He still sounds great so glad to see him doing so well.

[@kennyc388]

Born in 1942, New York Italian man, grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. A great person, great musician and singer. Time for HOF !

[@Mosely2007]

[@stevemason5173]

WOW... I missed this show... Mr. Rivers is a super great and playing with another great, Mr. Stuart!!!

[@Frankfrenchy99]

Flabergasted by Johny Rivers....what a sound with the superlatives!!!!!!!...

[@thomasfarley7322]

I always have loved to listen to Michael Bloomfield and never strayed. But Mr: Rivers came through Santa Cruz and he played two sets and I wanted to hear more he really changed my world of music. I keep looking for him playing live somewhere, but no luck. Johnny Rivers just puts a smile on my face thinking about fantastic memories. Thank you Mr: Rivers.

[@tomgooch1422]

Wow! I've drifted a long way down life's river since first hearing Johnny Rivers sing this in 1968. Grateful he can still sing it so well and that I can still hear him!

[@oldermusiclover]

still remember Secret Agent Man and watching it with my late dad when was in my early teens

[@daleharapat4984]

My favorite artist ever...After seeing so many shows, and meeting artists. Johnny Rivers put on my all time favorite show outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico. A true gentleman, humble, sounds like he did in 1964. He is absolutely the best entertainer...Every live show is great. You have to see Johnny while he is still touring. NOT TO BE MISSED EVER.

[@rdekemper]

Johnny Rivers, amazing! 🎸 Thank You!

[@outlawyer45]

Johnny's voice hasn't lost a whit.

[@bruceriley4063]

Johnny should be in R & R HOF.

[@sammaghett]

Bruce Riley Totally agree. He will always be the greatest cover artist in the history of rock. On top of that, his covers matched or at times even exceeded the originals.

[@tee2414]

Hearing all of these talented people sing and play together puts me in a great state of mind. Thank you Marty, Johnny, and the Superlatives!

[@manuelacosta2088]

Very beautiful!.......... Thank you very much Lester Anderson. What a musiciens! Best regards

[@RaymondStory3]

This whole video is absolutely awesome! It gets better and better and better. Wow! Marty Stuart!

[@helenloveridge4567]

Johnny Rivers is astonishing, this version of The Poor Side Of Town is better than the original. Seen so many legends fade, it's criminal that he's not a huge star still with his warm, wistful voice.

[@d.e.b.b5788]

To some of us, he's always been a huge star. One of the great voices of music, hear him once, you never forget who it is.

[@fcaughli]

I think Johnny would have managed it fine like many others have done, but then I think huge success has ruined many and even killed a few. I think what we have go with Johnny has been great the way it played out. And you know even if Johnny doesn't realize how many fans and appreciation he has it sure seems like he has and does truly enjoy what he has and is doing, and that is the most important part.

I saw Johnny Rivers a haft dozen times or more in my 20s back in the 70s he was playing every free show in the Washington State Parks around the Seattle area usually put on by the Rainier Beer Brewing Co. Local radio Stations and the bigger night clubs, a great show every time , he also played lead guitar on every song , an excellent guitar player ,it was legal to drink alcohol in the state parks back in those hippie days , they always had kegs of beer , , ,

[@greghenderson4582]

How can you tell the story of rock n roll without Johnny Rivers !!!

[@ArchFundy]

Johnny Rivers is awesome. Still got it. Thank You Johnny.

[@fcaughli]

Johnny's always been one of my favorites. Of course I love his Whisky A Go Go stuff, but if you like Poor Side Of Town, I really recommend that you check out all of the Rewind album. It is one end to the other all great songs. He covered a lot of songs in his career, but no one does 'em like Johnny does. He still performs and does a lot of great guitarin'. And who cares about hall of fames. They are all more problems than they are worth. We all have our own favortites. God's got Johnny's spot in his HOF one day.

[@williambilyeu9801]

I love his music. I think that "Realization" is one of the greatest albums ever recorded. Plus, Johnny Rivers recorded the Fifth Dimension and Al Wilson on his Soul City record label.

[@kennyc388]

Thank you !!

[@musicfanhawk4523]

Marty Stuart is such a cutie!! What a genuine sweetheart, I've always liked him. Johnny Rivers is fantastic here and great sounding band!

[@johnehrensperger5160]

Saw this in re-runs on RFDTV yesterday. I loved the quote from "Secret Agent Man" at the beginning of the outro. Johnny was definitely checking out Cousin Kenny's action on that. Marty Stuart is just the coolest human on the planet.

[@duffgordon9005]

What does one do if he knows/and his mates know that what they see and hear is a 70 plus man who is one monstrous music box- the diners with the choices in them, that he would fill everyone ever made, "superlatively" WELL TO ALL WRITERS!!!! HERe IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO WRITE a biography that will ROCK ROCK!! THe king of "sleepers" . Start with this fact. This low key man is worth $150 Million. He did not do that in a vacuum,, he never sold an athletic piece of crap, nor his name- rather he bought belief in himself. But owning your own label is the smartest, gutsiest thing, as the hate comes down on you for actually acting as a capitalist in America- how dare he... the writer would have to open up this mans heart- which i believe is in a tight lock bock, he is the initiate to the Whiskey, and his name someone had enough integrity to list his name first, then landing mccoo, then the new bachrach , namely jimmy webb!! THe book would tellme if for X millions Webb's rights were sold?? Then how did he get the very finest back-ups that one can see at JR's Monterey appearance==Jim Gordon for one played a lot of drums for jr. Did JR pay the SCALE? or did they say to jr- "This one is on us" Recently I have figured his favorite genre was the blues!! notice his jaw muscles going apalaflective plus his body gets into it, and he plays a very righteous lead guitar- in rooster-a whole new vibe happens. anyway Jr it is ok to BRAGG as peole have no clue, and your BRAGG is backed up...
