One of the greatest performances ever caught to video. Not rock, not country, just highly talented musicians ripping through a damn fine Vince Gill tune. Absolutely wonderful!

We call this genre, "Art, With A Cool Groove!" And lot's of "CHOP'S!"

Nope...definitely country.

Vince is smooth as butter and Brent Mason ain’t no slouch either. Whole band is phenomenal.

Fortunate people in that audience to witness this particular performance. VERY enjoyable! Hell, it’s Vince Gill !

[@johnmuha4951]

And he’s a damn nice guy that everyone wants to play with. I hate him

[@pickerngrinner1]

Vince's playing is as smooth as any steel player that ever lived. It's extraterrestrial impressionism of steel playing. He's the best at it! Brent and Paul are two of my favorite players. This video should be a national treasure.

[@giannibiancocircus]

Yes !

[@Marcus_C51]

International treasure, God everyone is so out of this world good! Vince oooh, he is just so sublime, Brent kills as well!

[@davindra67]

he makes everything as easy and smooth

[@hegemonycricket2182]

His guitar playing has nothing to do with steel playing. Completely different instruments.

[@CoffeeConversationMusicGear]

I love Vince Gill. He such a masterful guitarist. A true natural when plucking them strings. He can play just play any thing.

[@martydibergi5228]

Reminds me of John Jorgenson who can play anything and everything

[@Michaelangelo-eh7bb]

Never overboard with his licks just enough a real class act

You're a noticer, Joel Nielsen. I hadn't spotted that! Related to the man who co-wrote this song with Mr. Gill? Reed Nielson left us exactly ten years ago. They also wrote my other all-time favorite 'funk' tune, WHAT THE COWGIRLS DO. But you noticed that too, right?

[@laurawatt-hammond2860]

I love telecasters and love Vince Gill. Soulful brilliance. Great guitarist not to mention his voice. He has been inspiring me to write songs for a long time. Thanks Vince for being better than awesome.

[@mselectricalstorm1]

You're so right, Laura. Vince is a guitar virtuoso...love him!

[@petrescudumitru7031]

Laura Watt-Hammond You're so right Laura is the best

[@Cryuff4]

+Laura Watt-Hammond Better than awesome sounded lame when I first read your comment but it's growing on me and I like it now. What is better than awesome? Few things. Vince Gill with a guitar in his hands is one of them.

[@Seanyboy17]

He certainly is an inspirational guitarist and a great singer Laura and if you don't mind me saying you are absolutely stunningly beautiful. :)

Now that's funny!

[@jaycareaga9929]

Vince is the Guest here. It’s from the DVD The Players Live In Nashville. The Players being Eddie Bayers, drums, Paul Franklin, Pedal Steel guitar , Brent Mason Guitar, John Hobbs, keyboards and Michael Rhodes, bass. Vince was one of 5 guests which included Joe Walsh, Peter Frampton, Shawn Colvin, Travis Tritt and Jim Horn. The Players is a reference to the bands being the top first call session players in Nashville.

[@guyb7005]

Of all the singer-songwriter-guitar virtuosos out there: Clapton, Knopfler, Gilmour, Winwood, Prince, Glen Campbell, Roy Clark, Willie Nelson, Neil Young.... Vince Gill is a giant. Superb vocals and picking like no other!!

[@MarkBlackburnWPG]

You know who would agree with you? Chet Atkins. "Mr. Guitar" was best friends with Vince, and loved what he did on a Telecaster, and gifted him with at least one of Vince's many, many great instruments. (A Chet Atkins signature Gibson, I believe.) On a 'live' show like this one, Chet called in a request, and said, on air, I'm paraphrasing, "Do you still play that?" A song about approaching the Oklahoma state border. Dang, where's THAT on KZbin? -- You KNOW it's right here, somewhere. That show. With Chet on the phone to Vince. Whatever did we do before KZbin.

[@jay.wright]

Vince, Brent, Paul - just the best of the best. This is the song that made me a Vince Gill fan for life. And this is a picker's dream team. The way a good song should when the pros are all in the pocket and the house is rockin': make it last a LONG time. What a treat!

Saw him play this with the Time Jumpers in Nashville a month ago. They just killed it. Vince is the total package...writer, guitarist and singer.

Reverend Ovni and fine as hell. He's so hot. He got me to really take a listen to the then new guard of country. Now the old guard. Wasn't there another version of Liza Jane with the new Nashville cats? Can't find it.

I love these Nashville songs where there are a thousand more musician-licks than lyrics!! Let 'em play!!

[@garokachadourian1413]

Vince kills it at 4.20 what a great Guitar player!! Just watch how smooth he is an effortless it is for him! He doesn't break a sweat playing this. Like i said before in a post you have to see him in Concert Vince is Great!!!

[@prmskeepr]

I could watch that bass player all day long. He loves his job.

[@BrianRowsell]

Me too....Michael Rhodes....Nashville royalty!!!he's in a band now with Guthrie Trapp.... Says a lot about Trapp to get a bassist like that to hang out with!

I never get tired of Vince and this bands version of Liza Jane. I keep coming back to hear them Jam and Jam they do all the guy's who play in this video are GREAT!!! The first time I saw Vince was at the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena in Binghamton, NY in the early 2004 or 2005. He is just the best Music Entertainer I have seen in concert bar none!!! Vince I'm your biggest fan!!! I would love to see them Play Liza Jane (The Player's) together at a County Music Awards in the future rocking the house down. Kachman

This song is always a crowd pleaser. I've got an old vcr tape Of Vince Gill playing this song In a drive-in movie refreshment Stand. Too cool.

[@briandrum1]

I never heard this song until today. I was playing a gig with a fairly new band that myself and some friends who play in different bands put together. The guitarist turned to me and said “just play a train/two step beat”. What a fucking FUN song to play!!!

[@Insignificatos]

Jeesus you know you 'made it' when Brent Mason is your backup guitarist.

One of my favorite Vince Gill songs. Great picker...and Brent Mason just makes it better.

[@dfwlistener7593]

Brent Mason is my favorite, but Vince's playing fits the song. No flash, just good solid phrasing & tone. Paul Franklin is another all time favorite. Michael Rhodes, what can you say. Top shelf. Keys (don't know the player) mighty fine. Great bunch.

[@jdexposure]

Agreed. Less is more especially when it's done so well. No disrespect to Mr. Mason; a monster player by any standard.

[@acreguy3156]

The keys player is John Hobbs. He's a killer player.

[@gricko1964]

OMG....magic !!! Great performance Vince Gill&Brent Mason . All band is top !!!👏

[@jamesmormile5608]

Ive been seeing Vince in concert for 25 yrs. It never gets old......He was monster when he first set foot on a stage, and to this day hasnt lost step. Ive been a pro guitarist for longer than i like to admit..Vince is the only guitarist that brings me to tears...so damn smooth, and tasteful....every pro i know when first hearing Vince says the same thing.; "Now thats how the electric guitar is suppose to be played." God love and preserve the man, an American treasure...

[@Chilinoploppy]

Brent's a beast on that Tele damn! Vince guitar tone and playing is just brilliant!

To me, an absolute master. What a talent. I grew up a hippie and rock and roller and it took yrs. to realize the talent that transcends genre. This guy is class all the way, in a class by himself. Effortless, makes me want to quit my pitiful fumblings on the guitar every time I witness his expertise. Thanx for the vid, Glen

[@MarkBlackburnWPG]

Country Funk (think Dolly's “Two Doors Down”) originated in the late 60s, with the guitar and singing voice of the late great Jerry Reed (see “Amos Moses”) - many years before Stevie Wonder's “Superstition” brought the same hypnotic beat to wider audiences. And to those of us 'of an age' it's Vince Gill who was synonymous with Country Funk 30 years ago: I needed reminding that two of my favorite Vince Gill funky tunes -- LIZA JANE and WHAT THE COWGIRLS DO - were co-written by Vince and his buddy, the late Reed Nielsen who left us ten years ago. Our favorite video example of a live performance of LIZA JANE. Brent Mason and Vince Gill trading licks on their Fender Telecasters.

[@MHB48615]

This right here is my idea of what good music is all about. This is just SO satisfying.

[@johnnyx9892]

Vince's playing always seems so effortless. Super light touch and smooth as glass.

[@strawman8]
