Rodney Crowell, Emmylou Harris and Vince Gill LIVE from The Opry

[@thomasmartinscott]

In 1999, Rodney came to the Sheridan Opera House in Telluride, CO. I was the Tech Director/Soundman. At soundcheck I asked if he was going to do "Till I Can Gain Control Again". He graciously said, "No, I don't have it in this show, but I'll do it for you". I said, "Can I sing harmony with you?". He said "Sure". We did it, and I was elated to have sung a song I had covered for years with the writer. That night the audience shouted "ENCORE, ENCORE". He came back out and started that song and said, "Tom, why don't you come join me on this?" I did. I have video of it and pictures from that video. Tomorrow Night, 3-23-24, I am doing a very similar show as this one with 2 other Songwriters... telling stories that go with our Original Songs to a local audience. Watching this again has made me very comfortable with doing it. God Bless the 3 of you!

What a wonderful memory, a gracious man, I met in the foyer of Europa Hotel after his show in our Opera House, what a gracious man

[@kay00765]

What a talented trio. Rodney is such a great songwriter and performer. I love all 3 but have always been a huge Rodney Crowell fan. 🙏 💖 🎶

[@garydixon4681]

The older you get, the more beautiful you become. Each of you. Vince, Emmy Lou, Rodney. Thank You. . . . You've all spent your lives doing something that will outlast you, all three of you. You're music will still be here a hundred years from now. . . . You can't do better than that.

[@truthlikevelcro5689]

That's a beautiful tribute to them. You said it so poeticallty. Can I get your permission to use some of those true words in a song? It would be called "One Hundred Years". I've already got the melody. I will share the credit, although I don't think it will go very far...not because you didn't have beautiful words to say, but bc I have been doing this too long, and I am not getting any younger. ha!

[@patriciaferrell9418]

Thanks you all of you

[@marihyunglo]

Yes you are right...

[@tomtorrell8019]

I feel like I've spent most of my life with Emmylou since I discovered her voice way back in 1974 and my ears and eyes have never tried of listening and seeing her. She's so talented and beautiful. I first caught site of her singing folk music at a bar in DC in 1972 or 73. When she began later singing with Gram Parsons, I went out and bought her first 2 albums with Gramm, and I still own them. They are "GP and Grievous Angel" I've never heard 2 voices blend in so well. I'll take those albums to my grave. God Bless Emmy.

[@margaretross9150]

I've been trying to figure out why the voices of Gram and Emmylou were so amazing together. I'd appreciate some opinions. All I could come up with were her silken harmonies combined with his passion and ability to find the essence of a song. Never heard him sing with another female singer. I think Emmylou sounds great with everyone (except Dwight Yoakam, whom I otherwise adore) but never as great as with Gram.

[@tomtorrell8019]

@@margaretross9150 Emmy once said in an interview. I always knew I had a voice, but I didn't know what to do with it until I met Gram. She was mostly a folk music singer before that. When they met...I think it was 1972, she invited him to hear her sing at her home. Gram was looking for a female voice to sing with him and possibly record an album. She went on tour with him and his new group called The Fallen Angel's. When Gram first did a duet with her, they did a song called "That's all it took". Gram said he was blown away by her voice and talked her into joining her. Emmylou was mostly unknown then and Gram tried to keep her name hidden for fear someone would try to poach her. He taught her to sing country rock, and the rest is history. They sadly only got got record 2 albums together before he died. I have a copy of those albums and I treasure them. They are "GP" and "Grevious Angel"

Oh, lucky you. Not just luck, of course. You were looking in the right places.❤❤❤

[@mairianncullen8753]

Happy 70th birthday to Rodney Crowell! He has given us so many wonderful songs - and this concert was a lovely showcase for some of them. Vince Gill singing Rodney's 'A Song for the Life' in honour of his birthday was one of many highlights of this concert. I loved it from start to finish! Thank you so much to Rodney, Emmylou and Vince!

[@MeltonShare]

That was the highlight of the show for me. Loved Vince singing Rodney's song. So touching and beautiful.

[@jeffreylynnpease]

I'm a die hard Rodney follower. Ive also loved Vince and Emmy Lou since way back when. And im 70 now. Lol.

[@chrisd0801]

[@jezebeljones659]

He great Vince is all some

[@mairianncullen8753]

So cool to find out that 'Even Cowgirls Get the Blues' was inspired by a composite of Emmylou Harris and Susanna Clark!

[@piyabiswas9475]

Emmylou and Rendy both of them sang so beautiful song..after a long period I got the oppertunity to listen so incredible songs..thank you so much..

[@juneconyard4328]

3 great singers I love x

[@richardsepulvado3049]

Till I gain control again, the definitive song of redemption.

[@mairianncullen8753]

It certainly is. I heard Rodney Crowell describe it as a prayer and these three, with Eamon McLoughlin's wonderful violin, too, certainly made it sound like a prayer. So beautiful.

[@rabbi120348]

I was driving 80 mph across Nebraska on I-80 when that song came on -- I had to pull off to the shoulder, couldn't see the road through my tears.

[@9591Irene]

Thank so much for posting this, made my day.

[@hevans2110]

Eamon McLoughlin absolutely kills it! 🎻

[@awesomeisasawesomedoesyo182]

Sublime!!!

[@ralphs3945]

AMAZING what more can you can say??

[@Xanadu128]

Great!

[@jezebeljones659]

Whoa...pandemic hair. No makeup on Emmylou (she's still beyond beautiful, though.) But three great artists, no frills. Good thing the Opry kept going!

[@johnlawrence2757]

It’s like being in a world where every day you wake up and there are fewer people: and the people there are are all trying to act like everything is normal.

[@garydixon4681]

If she could only win my love? She won that 40 years ago.

[@jezebeljones659]

Well, Vince certainly knows what the eff he's doing. They all do, the mandolin and fiddle player is great, and I don't know how any of them could get through all this without busting out crying. Performers missing live performance in front of a live audience...good lord, must be awful.

[@garydixon4681]

It would bring my heart great pleasure, to hear that one day, Rodney and Emmy Lou, found a preacher man, took the "sacred vows," and went off together to Tennessee to look after the dogs that end up at her place. Keep on singing of course, until they can no longer do it anymore. It seems it would just be fitting after 44 years of singing together. I know they love each other.

[@kathleenjohnson90]

What was the song Rodney first sang ,I loved it

[@richardsepulvado3049]

I'm still learning how to fly.

[@aciddrive409]

Stellar piece of song writing.

[@MeltonShare]

@@aciddrive409 Absolutely! His writing is incredible. He's a country poet. Loved that song too!

[@markmiwurdz202]

@kathleen Johnson. The song "I'm Still Learning How To Fly" was recorded by Rodney's side project band "Cicadas" and is the closing track on the CD of the same name (I think). By coincidence, the guitar player in Cicadas is Steuart Smith ( who also played in Rodney's band "The Dixie Pearls")and is now a colleague of Vince Gill in the current line-up of The Eagles.

Rodney needs to dump that beard, it’s putting fifteen years on him. He’s been the baby-face of the Texas clan for too long.

[@richardsepulvado3049]

He turns 70 next week.

[@jezebeljones659]

Awww, it's pandemic times. He couldn't go to his barber.

[@jezebeljones659]

OK. this is for whatever phisher posted the sham message from "Rodney Croswell to me." If you're going to try to impersonate someone, you better be sure to spell his name right. See ya :-) !!!

[@sherrydurham2220]

Cant hit those notes on the 1st song any more, maybe drop it a bit. End of song was a little better than beginning but not great for sure. Age plays a big part. Did it perfectly for years tho!

[@johnstetson9136]

The interjection of the commercials in the songs makes this unwatchable for me.
