Vince Gill and James Taylor sing incredible rare duet of Bartender's Blues with other legends!

[@brynmiller4232]

Almost a year since I heard their duet -the fact is the more you hear it the more beautiful it is.

[@MusicVacations]

It’s pretty special isn’t it Bryn? I’m glad you enjoyed it too.

[@Brian-mj6qn]

Mr. Gill and Mr. Taylor an amazing combination. They are both a musician's musician. You can't help but listen

[@brynmiller4232]

Beautiful-two of my very favorite people and musicians .

[@traumamama2007]

Nobody, absolutely nobody, sings harmony like the great Vince Gill!

[@andrews4596]

George Possum Jones.

[@shawnuel]

He actually sings the melody each time he sings on this. James sings one solo verse then goes back to the harmony for the final chorus.

[@theroth57]

Brenda Brockett for sure 😍

[@elliestuart4767]

never tire of that Vince Gill voice....enjoyed.

[@jamesdurkan1115]

Vince gill you are the best.beautiful voice love you

[@grandmasmurf2915]

Never tire of looking at him!!!

[@trinablood3689]

Two of my all time favorites, James Taylor and Vince Gill!

[@slownoman]

Their voices, Vince and James, were made to harmonize together. I'd love to hear an album of them- two of my favorite artists, ever.

[@cathyvandeneynden6546]

slownoman Christ aren't they just something... Wow..

[@alika207]

An album of both of them together would be incredible!

[@understandingthetimes2867]

James and Vince! Awesomeness

[@laurenblaine-songwriter6960]

I wanna see the whole show!! What a freakin' AMAZING room full of writers/performers!!

[@gymjim100]

This is why Vince will always be one of my favorites......Heart & Soul, and that VOICE!

[@jeanlucleroux]

How Can people Give a Thumb Down to this performance ?? I give myself a hundred of thumbs up..!!

[@MusicVacations]

Jean Luc Leroux my thoughts exactly. Such a treat hearing these great singers together!

[@mikelord9860]

I think in some cases it's done by mistake - I've caught myself swiping across the screen not realizing till too late that I brushed the thumbs-down. It happens.

[@adsdad]

Fundraiser for the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville. Best museum in the USA. KUDOS to Taylor and Walsh since they’re not country artists

[@51tomtomtom]

two very talented and humble persons ! Always great to hear, to see...

[@davidhanshaw7840]

Wow this needs to be made into a live album ! Beautiful, lightning don't strike twice !

[@MusicVacations]

David Hanshaw I agree! I would live for James and Vince to record a duet record!

[@Golfer964]

That is a fantastic raw performance of Taylers song !

[@randydavis941]

Memories to have forever! If you play get together with your people, and make your own memories...time is slipping away.

[@sandrablack5133]

Two of my favourites doing justice to a cracking song by another favourite

[@peterk8909]

Sandra Black And who might that favourite be?

[@jackievanderwerf892]

Love this so good !

[@patrickreagan6443]

Damn that was good.

[@alika207]

Love them both! Love them all for that matter! I wish I could have been at this concert!

[@tdwayne1]

2 of the greatest of all time❤

[@epiphonium]

Awesome guys! Great song and performance !

[@sheep1903]

Probably the most talent ever on the same stage at the same time. Wow.

[@MusicVacations]

I think so too. Pretty incredible!

[@judyfuller8268]

the songs from the 50's STILL turn me on............im 76

[@maureenpirrello6186]

My favorite guy is Vince gil

[@noahjonas1489]

This is just great. Thank you for putting it on KZbin.

[@tomtotterdale2206]

This whole show needs to be available somewhere soon.

[@MusicVacations]

I wish it was. I loaded most songs from the night on my channel

[@tomtotterdale2206]

I was hoping to hear something with Stapleton and Musgraves singing together. That being said, I could listen to Vince Gill sing the phone book and love it.

[@MusicVacations]

I hear you about Vince! Kaycey and Chris didn't sing a song together unfortunately. I am loading a song Chris performed for you now though. What a talent he is.

[@tomtotterdale2206]

Thank you!!!

[@shawnuel]

And MAN! What a wonderful, diverse group of singer/musician/songwriters this is!

[@johnmelnichuk4838]

Beautiful

[@1977brickguy]

that was just awesome

[@stanmcdonald9222]

god they weave such a special Magic

[@greglarry11]

Thanks for posting this! Great.

[@PeitouBob]

George Jones said James Taylor could never write a country tune. James then wrote Bartender's Blues. Then George had a #1 Hit with it. Then George changed his mind about James.

[@jamesbates7457]

James Taylor wrote this song specifically for George Jones.

[@drumlover1687]

Don't ever challenge someone who was decades later inducted into the songwriters Hall of Fame. But somehow I think old George Jones knew exactly what he was doing back then. And he got a #1 hit out of it.

[@williamparker1085]

stupid old drunk

[@elizabethlinsay9193]

Never underestimate James Taylor.

[@karenwolgamuth819]

awesome! thanks for video.

[@MissDonnah]

Thank you for posting...wish all these shows were televised for all to enjoy. Seems to me there would be a huge audience!

[@johnodonnell8697]

, Quite simply lovely

[@flyoverkid55]

Nothing fancy, just some good solid work by two venerated performers.

[@MrSinginman1]

thanks for the ones you got .. wish it was televised ...

[@lindagruber2232]

Two gentle souls

[@2wattsout]

Wow, thanks for that upload, Vince and James nailed this! Maybe now that Miley is moving to Canada we can get to see more of real talent.

[@emilydill9357]

So good to my ears and heart.

[@MusicVacations]

Emily Dill mine too! Such a special moment!

[@gingercalvert3761]

Wow, just found this. Wish I had been there

[@MusicVacations]

It was amazing. You can watch for the annual All for the Hall benefit that Vince and Keith Urban usually take turns hosting. They have different wonderful guests each year.

[@Moore1J]

Awesome!

[@ingridmaier5864]

I love Vince Gill so much..... he is phantastic ♥♥♥♥

[@PerthTowne]

Wonderful performance. James Taylor wrote the song many years ago. I'm always amazed by the range of the types of songs he writes. Not as well-known for his songwriting as his singing, but he should be.

[@cherylmohr4974]

Absolutely right. Voices are fairly common but the lyrics...the poems. We need to always remember who wrote those words, no matter the song.

[@tcammann2437]

Sorry but he did not write the song, the late and great George Jones wrote it

[@GBPLVR]

T Cammann, George Jones sang this but I do believe if one will search it out James Taylor did write the hit song That Jones recorded.

[@climberbob1]

Sorry folks, but it has ALWAYS been that James writes 99% of his works. Over his first 15 albums or so, you might get one song every other album that he DIDN'T write, but people still thought he did. Off hand I think of "you've got a friend", "handyman", "up on the roof". To me, James is the 2nd best male lyricist of all time. he paints pictures with his lyrics. The only one I'd put above him is Jackson Browne. Joni Mitchell gets the nod for female artists!

[@FreestylerFrisbee]

you're wrong, t cammann. and i'm not sorry.

[@lisagarcia1625]

Beautiful!

[@eberhardschmidt9154]

Das geht zu Herzen!!!!

[@hwinc]

A favorite for sure.

[@hwinc]

@Vince Gill 🔵 Actually, I bartended and waited tables at Butterfield's in OKC when you played there on Wednesday nights with Mountain Smoke. That was 47 years ago. That can't be right because we're not that old, but it's an honest answer.

[@hwinc]

@Vince Gill 🔵 Yes.

[@markdsager4257]

This is beyond cool

[@MusicVacations]

Mark D Sager thanks Mark! It was a treat to watch!

[@markdsager4257]

I can imagine!!! The last time I had seen Vince was with Pure Prairie League.

[@MusicVacations]

Mark D Sager if you get a chance to see him now you would enjoy it. He’s not touring much as Vince since he joined The Eagles but hopefully he will again

[@utubeDaveutube]

Jesus.....what a lineup!!!!

[@josephwheat3306]

terrific

[@okrajoe]

Perfect performance combo.

[@shawnuel]

Vince, singing "Warmth of the Sun" and "Surfs Up" during a televised tribute to Brian Wilson is one of the most incredible musical things I've ever heard. And he sings a decent portion of those falsetto parts in natural voice. Pretty insane!

[@MusicVacations]

Shawn McLaughlin thanks for the great reply! I haven’t heard the Brian Wilson songs! Wow cool! He’s extraordinarily talented!

[@alika207]

Those are two Beach Boys songs! I'll have to look up Vince singing them! Hopefully they are out there on KZbin!

[@lumpymcphoomph7384]

Damn... Sun came out as I listened to this. May just have to cover it m'self. Mmmm-mm.

[@randellheathcock781]

I Iove It.............

[@taranichoncuir495]

What a pure voice 😍 weak 🎶 🎵#weak4Vince

[@charlespeterson3798]

Joe ain't leaving that tune without a touch.

[@matthewberryessa7110]

WOW

[@williambraund312]

Great stuff. William Brauhd

[@glendale6]

Jeez. James sounds better than ever

[@marcnelson2645]

Mighty Fine Job . Gentlemen

[@marcnelson2645]

@Vince Gill 🔵 Dang man Im humbled. .Is this Really you Elvis ? 😁 ..Here goes either way... My grandfather ran a cabinet shop and I grew up working summers with him . WESC 92.5 out of Greenville South Carolina played all day everyday. Thats where I found you. Must have been 30 years ago I figure. Im 45 now so gotta be close or little better. Man you have one of the greatest gifts a man could ever dream of having. The birds hush to listen. Kinda gift. Im Humbled that you took the time to reply back and except my gratitude to you and Mr Taylor. Two of the Finest pickers and Songwriter Americans of All Time. May God Continue to Bless you. .. Im Humbled.

[@marcnelson2645]

@Vince Gill 🔵 I'm not much on the web either . Was 37 years old 1st time I ever logged on. Id be honored sir. Just let me know how to reach out.

[@alfaceesify]

Prachtig!

[@sergiosonlinework-sranjovi4304]

❤❤❤

[@ugmodude]

lotta folks think George Jones wrote this gem, but it was James Taylor who wrote it..... after listening to a bunch of George Jones

[@MusicVacations]

Dan Stevens that’s true! Great song!

[@climberbob1]

always new it was James' since it came out. I've always known James' voice was very well suited for country.

[@dalejefferies4536]

Wasn't sure if everyone knew that on George Jones's version James Taylor is doing the backup Harmony George Jones said that James Taylor extremely intimidating him!

[@ugmodude]

I've heard it said that feeling was mutual, Dale!

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

Well, I'll be. I didn't recognize either of them in the vid. Never saw V Gill in a hat(OK, it wasn't a cowboy hat).

[@farrisferguson2950]

Shook Vince's hand at a Vintage Guitar Show in Nashville last month--consumate musician/singer/songwriter

[@pamhurt7126]

Merle Haggard comes to mind when I hear this

[@mumausarbogast-fonck423]

Hey Joe, howya doin'? ;-)

[@wilbl7778]

Imagine if they had let Chris chime in, WOW!

[@zarrayx]

Harmony ? you hear about. CSN &Y, the Eagles

[@giuseppetristano8299]

South Italy (Matera) is all for Vince. When a great show in Matera? Is it possibile?

[@walterbyrne3509]

Is that Toby next to the gal

[@MusicVacations]

Actually it’s Chris Stapleton

[@thelastrebelshow1627]

They forgot Joe Walsh played on this too.

[@sandystephens6716]

HA !!! Joe didn't ... I think he looked as if he were tuning his guitar ~ Maybe it's just me

[@stevehuber3391]

Ok, I know it’s James,Vince, Chris and Joe Walsh but who is in the middle? I can’t recognize her

[@MusicVacations]

Steve Huber that was Kaycee Musgraves

[@fishhuntadventure]

Who are the others? Walsh is one but there’s 5

[@MusicVacations]

Chris Stapleton, Joe Walsh and Kacey Musgraves

[@buddybell9711]

why arent shows like this made public knowlage

[@MusicVacations]

Buddy Bell I hear ya. Another one of these benefits is coming right up in NYC. Google All for the hall benefit

[@MrSinginman1]

is there a link wher we can watch the whole show??

[@MusicVacations]

sorry I recorded most songs separately.

[@larryshropshire6642]

MrSinginman1 7

[@denelson777]

George Jones

[@twist2723]

I see a Mr. Walsh in there ....

[@jeffreykiger6894]

It’s not a wonder he was asked to join the Eagles band.

[@MusicVacations]

Jeffrey Kiger you are so right! What a great fit he is too!

[@RussellRoesner]

I really think James Taylor has little soul from the music side. Great songwriter but thats all he is....he is not a performer. He knows it. Trust me.

[@FreestylerFrisbee]

he is a most gracious and fun performer. you are tossing out your opinion as fact. trust me

[@Ghick56]

Most shows sold out. Fact. He is not a “showman”, but he has a beautiful tone to his voice...

[@lous5442]

First off that is your opinion. I went to see him live numerous times. The one that sticks in my memory was at Blossom Music Center near Akron OH in 1983. "Steamroller Blues". Was he a rocker who made frantic histrionics part of his act?...Nope, but he also had a stage presence that couldn't be denied in true live-as opposed to "live" on camera-performances.
