I went to High School with Charlie’s son. So Charlie and his band would set up in our gym and preform live and totally rock out. He was a great and generous man and his son is a great person. RIP Charlie.

They don't make them like him no more.......

[@edwardgordon4309]

Very cool. I grew up on the west coast and from the first time I heard Charlie in 1974, he was my favorite musician and songwriter. I saw him many times but I'll always remember the first time in Santa Monica Ca 1975

[@K27fan]

"The South's Gonna Do It Again"....one of the best ever and just killer violin licks. RIP Charlie, you are missed.

[@R.L.KRANESCHRADTT]

RIP Charlie Daniels.... what a wonderful man, his talent is without question... but his character is the real legacy.

[@yuriwalczak6354]

This is one of the best comments on youtube

[@R.L.KRANESCHRADTT]

@@yuriwalczak6354 Thank you for saying that, it's very kind of you to take the time. I was working at Sheplers Western Wear in the early 70's. I'd been in the basement stocking some boots and after I came back up to civilization the guys told me Charlie Daniels came in off his bus with his band and roadies and bought everybody new hats and they were all having the brims custom shaped. He paid with a roll of hundred dollar bills that would choke a horse.🤣🤣🤠🤠 He also bought himself a new hat and as usual it was HUGE. His eyes were so bad and his glasses so thick he used that big brim to hide them from the spotlights on stage. Years later he had surgery to correct it and for a while didn't even use glasses anymore. He was by all accounts a very fine gentleman.

My favorite song as a kid was "The Devil went down to Georgia" Still one of my favorites. Thanks for being you Charlie.

[@gibsonfamily6366]

Im so happy that back in 2005 I had the awesome privilege to see and really enjoy The Charlie Daniel's Band in a private concert that the company I worked for set up at the factory and it was just completely amazing. We were a small factory and made military tents for the gov. They really gave back to the employees by doing that. Charlie Daniels is a true American Legend if there ever was one. RIP Charlie, you gave me and my wife and coworkers memories and music that will last us the rest of our lives.

[@donaldlandon1475]

One of the best country artists. Never get tired of his stuff.

20 (?) years ago, i had the opportunity to interview Charlie. He was a super nice guy, and an absolute class act. Saw him perform a few times. Charlie was good right up until the end. He is missed.

Charlie Daniels was a legend. A great man inside and out

This was the most-played song in a little bar in the country called, "The Country Inn" in Mantua, OH. I'm 60 and a heavy metal guy until I heard this song, I fell in love with country music.

This is great. And now priceless. Joe Chambers had Charlie on one of his interviews for the Musicians Hall of Fame series. Priceless interviews. Rip Joe and Charlie. Rock on Sammy

[@williamweiss6128]

Love me some old Charlie Daniels. They were funky, rock, country. So good.

[@danamcpeak]

What a treat to see two of my all-time faves. I can't believe the talent that Charlie Daniels had, he could make a fiddle and a guitar talk. I always loved Sammy's attitude and music. Two distinct flavors of music coming together.

[@harrygreen6935]

Super sweet to see you both jamming. Made my day!

[@bigsimms75]

So awesome to see. There will never ever be another man with a character like Charlie. He was one of a kind, the whole state cried when he passed. He was a guy you saw at a red light and he's driving a minivan and just waved at whoever noticed him, just a regular dude who cared about everyone he met.

[@khalli2112]

We here in Middle Tennessee Love Charlie and his politics. He is beyond a Patriot and has supported our Troops 110% ("I ain't nothing but a simple man... they call me a redneck and I reckon I am"

[@southvaron757]

I'll "rope another goat" to that, here in Southern Virginia. I believe he was a good influence on several Southern Rockers as they got older, especially the Skynyrd boys who survived the crash.

[@harrisonsdepot]

My favorite Charlie Daniels song has to be Trudy. Thank you for recording this before he passed, nice surprise to watch this one.

[@mikejohnson2098]

We miss you dearly Mr. Daniels. The world needs you and your messages in your songs! May you RIP and may the Republic live in perpetuity! We are in peril and simple man logic is what is needed!

[@jamesedwards2237]

Sammy Hagar is a very good interviewer. He puts forth a good question, and sits back and lets his guests run with it, with an occasional comment. And Charlie can talk a lot of stories once you wind him up.

[@watchmanflint7801]

I sure miss Charlie & all he added to my life. Add to that there's all he did for our troops. He was a real Amercian who had a heart for his country & for His Christ!

I remember seeing Charlie at World Outreach in Murfrees(boro), TN. He actually played one of their Easter services held at MTSU's Glass House. I will never forget the pastor, Allen Jackson, asked Charlie to play Devil Went Down To Georgia during the service. To hear that song during a church service was pretty wild and fantastic. Thanks for the music Charlie!

When I was on deployment in Iraq Charlie Daniels came to play for the troops. He had to cut his set short because of a sand storm and oddly enough rain. But he stayed to sign autographs and stayed until every one got one. He's a real genuine man.

[@cropduster001]

I saw a Charlie Daniels show in Merrillville, IN back in the 90's. He invited a local kid who played violin to play a song onstage with him. While the kid was going into his solo the violin cut out. The band kept the progression going and when it was time for the solo part the kid's violin cut out again. Without hesitation Charlie handed the kid his own violin and the kid performed his solo to a standing ovation. Charlie was a great man.

It was an honor to see Charlie Daniels before his passing. See him in Eldon Missouri. What a great showman! Thank you Charlie! We lost a huge Icon

If you only knew. I had a big ol Ford Thunderbird junker that held about 12 people. It had power windows but the radio didn't work. Most of our friends were cowboys, so we piled in & we ALWAYS sang this because it was one of the few songs we all knew the words to. Small town Missouri about 1989.
