Real rock 'n roll, with a real twang! Vince is good no matter the genre -- and he's a good guy, too. Crow's harmony fits nicely.

[@lolangford1]

Great cover of a great song. Vince & Sheryl sound good together & I love that she smiles & snaps fingers getting into the fun of music. So many artists that have been in industry forget the love of the music that got them there. Sheryl& Vince, along with Eric Clapton always smile & enjoy the gift & appreciate the fans who made them stars! I wish every performer in any field remembered who & what made them stars.

[@garyhall704]

Plus sheryl is gorgeous with dimples!

[@jlexzis]

Carefully crafted solos, great vocals and a jamming rhythm. This is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC, even better than the original record. A Clapton Solo as part of the Mo-Vince-Albert-Burton-Klugh combo and boom, we have a 'remastered' version of 'Lay Down Sally' on our hands. It can't get any better than this. Legendary showing by all.

[@ppvk2610]

Best version of Lay Down Sally is one of Eric in '78 Santa Monica, Civic Auditorium ... Actually almost sounds like Cheryl joins in there as well, though that's not the biggest strongpoint, it's the two guitar parts blending live and Eric's singing

[@jlexzis]

@@ppvk2610 point me to the video if there’s any.

[@timallbritton7329]

Great stuff, seeing Albert Lee and James Burton having so much fun. So much talent on that stage!

[@owlmatt]

Those of you who are whining about them messing up this song, remember this is a jam, not an extensively rehearsed performance. This is what musicians do for fun: take a song with a pretty simple chord structure and make stuff up together. There are at least half a dozen different guitar players on stage. They have not agreed in advance as to who is playing what part, and some of them are probably just making it up as they go along. A jam isn't supposed to be clean; it's supposed to be fun.

[@diosdadoapias]

I prefer a jam because it brought out the best among players and singer unlike in a rehearse that the song is already been arrange as they want it to be.

[@quentinfernandez4673]

Heads up. Lay Down Sally is a J.J. Cale song that Clapper covered on his 1977 Slowhand album. (I might be a year or two off.) Covering the song here is the remarkably-gifted Country guitarists Vince Gill and Albert Lee. Jeeze, theses cat scan pick!

When Albert kicks in its like hearing every hit country song of the 90s in one solo. Great guitarists.
