What a beautiful picture. Hearing Brian singing that oldie was something & him doing a bit of dance moves was so cute. Congratulations to all the musicians there.
Wow, what a time tested hero to myself and thousands of other guitarists! Recording with Ricky,Elvis, Merle, Emmylou and countless other great artists, thank you Sir James for all the tasty hot licks you shared with us.
James Burton is not only one of the pioneers of rock and roll guitar he is also one of the greatest players. When his fans include Brian May, Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards and John Fogerty you know he is a special talent!!! God bless you James!!!
Brilliant.. Love when great musicians respect other great musicians, how it should be! You can't beat the old-school guys..All got their own styles 👍😎🏴🇬🇧
@@micheleprobst8879 Cheers... On 2nd thought... Ricky Nelson did usually appear onstage with an acoustic guitar, I believe, even though James Burton did all the magical stuff...
When guitarist of Queen & Rolling Stones pay homage & respect to you, Mr.James Burton,you are CREAM de la CREAM of guitar players.Elvis would be so proud, looking down from Heaven ❤❤❤
Having James Burton in his band was what set Ricky Nelson apart from the other “teen idols” of the ‘50s. That and his incredible vocals, his uncanny ability to pick fantastic songs, and his genuine love of rock and roll, rockabilly and R&B. He was definitely one of the best.
It’s a shame that the soundboard was not being well run . I couldn’t really hear James Burton very much. It looked like he was having difficulty hearing himself too.
When you look at the old video with RIcky Nelson doing this song it was easy to see how great and natural he was and shared such a rapport with the Nelson family. Kids need to see that video to see how unassuming JAmes and Ricky were.A handsome guy singing so easily and a fantastic guitarist backing him in the original way of a 4 piece band with a lead singer. That was why we oldies were so taken with Rock n Roll.And they said it wpuldnt last!! aka Don Everley at the reunion concert at the Albert Hall. Brian MAy knows his rock history as good as anyone and the "bowing down" is genuine and heartfelt. Wonderful. The oldies get older but their unique talent continues until the body can no longer do it Recover well James Burton. RIcky and Elvis arent ready to welcome you to Heaven just yet.
Too many egos on stage... this is doing a great diservice to legends like James Burton. I mean, Ron Wood? Bless him - he's a better painter than he is a guitarist.
Pete..how many records have you recorded ..I’ve never seen your name on any song list.. keep playing your guitar in your parents basement.. and eating your ‘hot pockets’ gourmet meals.. lol
Get your hearing checked. Wood isn’t a virtuoso but is a good guitarist and multi instrumentalist. If he was in The Jeff Beck Group, The Faces and The Stones that tells you all you need to know. He’s a fine player
Brian May is truly a great guitar player but a bit mediocre on vocals. I was half expecting Elvis to pop in and do a guitar solo. Still I am not a millionaire or a Dr of astro physics.
Ronnie Wood should never be allowed on a stage with the likes of Brian May and James Burton. The guy has never been anything more than below average as guitar players go.
What I enjoy most about seeing something like this is watching these great musicians turn into teenagers with their enthusiasm. James is just a treasure. Another clip I just love of James Burton is when he was performing in the studio with Rick Nelsons twin sons, Matthew and Gunnar. The joy on their faces is amazing. You could tell it was very special for James also. Thanks for everything James!!
Scotty Moore, Chuck Berry, Cliff Gallup, Buddy Holly and James Burton were the guys who wrote the rules for rock and roll guitar playing back in the 1950s. Here we are in 2023 and James is the last man standing- 70 years on from when he began playing in public- an unparalleled accomplishment and a remarkable musician who inspired all the greatest British rock guitarists.
Before all of them was the godmother of rock and roll. Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Check her out. Chuck Berry said, my entire career was just one long impersonation of Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
@@Amen.22 Yes, I agree- I know her stuff she is extremely important. The players I mentioned became the influences for the many who came later and they all had their influences- Burton mentions Chet Atkins and Lightnin' Hopkins. People forget that Chet Atkins played ground breaking guitar in the early 50s- Scotty Moore was a fan of his while Atkins was influenced by George Barnes as well as Merle Travis. Many of these players were influenced by Charlie Christian, T-Bone Walker and Les Paul and none of them existed in a vacuum and their various influences could be heard on certain radio shows- so, Junior Barnard who played for Bob Wills was another. The guitarists I mentioned all ended up playing on million selling records and their contributions to rock and roll guitar basically wrote the rulebook for a decade or so but it is fair to say, that James Burton kept raw and innovative rock and roll guitar playing on hit records well into the 1960s when the new wave of players took off.
Queen played this to 90,000 at Slane Castle, Ireland on a hot summer day 1986 Guitar Bass Drums and impeccable 3 part harmony Fred, Brian and Roger Mind blowing
They did exactly what Led Zeppelin did 10 years before them. May said in an interview that the idea of rockabilly pupuri on that tour came to their mind precisely by looking back at what their idols were doing. th-cam.com/video/wvRxXvitACk/w-d-xo.html
I had ZERO idea that James was healthy enough to do this! Just months ago we were wondering if he would ever leave the hospital alive. This is great news!
Great to see him bouncing back and still kicking/playing.🎸 He had a very rough 2022. He had Covid last summer, they found cancer in a kidney, surgery to remove the kidney, then he fell and broke a hip. That’s one tough dude standing there👍. I’m sure Ricky , Merle, Elvis , and John are all patting him on the back right now. Rock on James.🎸🎸
I just adore Brian May....🌈 and this living tribute is 😅so sweet (just like May). I always find the homage these English rock gods pay to those that came before them, to be so touching & beautiful. Keef & Woody when they played with Muddy, Beck & his Scotty Moore and of course Clapton and Buddy Guy. Respect to ALL🌟
James! Keith Richards said he didn’t buy Ricky Nelson records.. he bought James Burton records.. BTW the lyrics of ‘hello Marylou’mwere written almost in their entirety by Gene Pitney.
Always great to see legends but thsi time awesome to see Arielle playimg with her heroes and being invited by them to perform along with her friend Brian - what an awesome night and exposure for such a talented artist she is and what a great night she had with friends and idols - finally performing in the spotlight where she deserves as well- Thanks James and Bri fro having her on.
Arielle is just amazing as a singer, songwriter, guitarist. To cap it off she is a humble and caring human being. Cant wait to see where life takes her.
Yes, but Queen only did half of that song as part of a rock ‘n roll oldies medley they did on the Magic tour :) (*and Brian would sign one line on lead as well ;) )
Ronnie & Brian are like 2 kids mesmerised by James Burton's riffs 😂😅😊 They are looking at James drooling ... to see if they can learn the riffs...😂Who is that Cowgirl guitarist ? Is that Susie Q😂😂😂
No Ricky Nelson, but still decent cover, lot better than Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant pathetic attempts. Still the song needs acoustical guitar(s) to carry it of properly.
What a beautiful picture. Hearing Brian singing that oldie was something & him doing a bit of dance moves was so cute. Congratulations to all the musicians there.
Brian may of queen inspired by Keith Richards of the rolling stones
Queen played it in Wembley as an acoustic piece if I am not mistaken
Brian may you are nice guys in the world
Subang oh I'm watching the super Mario movie by Nintendo illumination
Mr. Burton's still got it at 83. We should all be so blessed.
Play it JB!
Bellissima performance per una canzone molto bella!😊😍😘🎶🎸🎶💘💓💕💋💯🌅🍀
James Burton is a legend. 2 legends together fantastic.

I’ve heard Page, Clapton and Springsteen speak reverently about Burton also. And the guys from the Traveling Wilburys
George Harrison was a huge fan, too.
Brilliant.. Love when great musicians respect other great musicians, how it should be! You can't beat the old-school guys..All got their own styles 👍😎🏴🇬🇧
WoW!!! ❤ James Burton and Ronnie Wood with Brian!!! ❤ Beautiful skewer

HOLA MICHELE ❤❤❤AMIGA 🇦🇷🇫🇷🎸🎸🎵🎵
@@mariateresacarluccio4104 Hello Maria Teresa 😃😘🩷🙋♀️
Yeah, and Brian's basically being "Ricky" here. No guitar and grabbing the mic as the lead singer. Don't see that too often.
@@Itelkner Yes! Very rare to see that! Greetings from France 🙋♀️
@@micheleprobst8879 Cheers...
On 2nd thought... Ricky Nelson did usually appear onstage with an acoustic guitar, I believe, even though James Burton did all the magical stuff...

What a treat!
Super, viel Schwung und Elan....ein sehr bekannter Song, schön vorgetragen...mag ich...🎶🎼🎵💯...
for those who don't know, James Burton played lead guitar on the 1957 hit Suzie Q....he was present at the beginning of rock and roll
I’m so glad that James burton is doing well again
Great to see James Burton up there still doing his stuff what a legend
It's great to see them enjoy it !
it's beyond AWSEOME to se James back on stage....ROCKIN ' ON !!!
Glad to see James Burton doing well i know he's been sick so happy he's better.
Hello. So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song
Ronnie is one very active Stone!!!!! Now it's time for the others to get on board , release the long awaited new album, and tour!!!! Shidoobee!!!!!!!
Queen, Rolling Stones, and Elvis TCB. These guys were apart of legendary bands!
Thanks so verry mutch Dr May❤🎉
When guitarist of Queen & Rolling Stones pay homage & respect to you, Mr.James Burton,you are CREAM de la CREAM of guitar players.Elvis would be so proud, looking down from Heaven ❤❤❤
and so would Ricky Nelson and Bob Luman where he got his start when he was 15 or 16 years old.
It's actually...creme de la creme...js 🙂
And Gram Parsons

My homie from Shreveport! What a talent! It's great to see him getting his due!
Met him in 1985....a true gentleman and outstanding musician!
James is a real legend!
Great pickin´yet Mr. Burton !!
The great James Burton.
Great artistr🎉
Absolute Legend
superb!
Goodmorning ! Fijne dag allemaal Toegewenst geniet ervan alles in het leven duurt maar even ! Lieve GROETJES ( Heb geen zonnesproetjes 😅❤🇳🇱👋🙏
Super!!!! A++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ron Wood shows a brilliant sense of music: watch him respect James Burton solo!

It sounds like they turned off the microphone when he started singing..
Watch James Burton and Bruce Springsteen play dueling guitars on Roy Orbison, pretty women on Black and White
Why was the volume on Brian's mic down so low, I could barely hear him
I love '50s style leads, not tweedlydos all over the place, tastefull, playing to the song, not just being a showoff.
Grande Roony ❤🇨🇱
I think "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" was influenced by this.
Wow! Yes !! the first few lines have that feel Haha! 🤑😆 This thing called love ... Hello, Mary Lou ...😃

@@flyingburritobro68 yeah he sucks with Stones since75 and he was a mediocre bass player with beck.
Yep all they needed was his protege the GREAT Albert Lee a bass a drummer and some keyboards
@@recordguy4321 Albert was there too.
Imagine being so good Brian May was better off singing.
Sad. Wizened old men desperate to remain relevant. Call it a day!
That’s too bad………..about you
@@toastoftowne1076 No, he's just right.. it's very sad to see those old ridiculous men struggling..it's really laughable..
Brian May is truly a great guitar player but a bit mediocre on vocals. I was half expecting Elvis to pop in and do a guitar solo. Still I am not a millionaire or a Dr of astro physics.
well that was underwhelming.
Sound problems?
A bit harsh . It’s an iPhone. James’ guitar clear as a bell
Ronnie Wood should never be allowed on a stage with the likes of Brian May and James Burton. The guy has never been anything more than below average as guitar players go.
Yeah James! God bless you James and all the great music you’ve brought to us and bring us.

On one hand.. is brilliant and amazing..and on the other... enjoy this while we can ...😎✌
Amazing musicians and unique guitarists!!!❤🎸❤🎸❤🎸❤🎸❤

Rock on James.🎸🎸
Nice comment THANKS!
He was great although he performed seated most of the show still delivering..I'll never forget being there
@@ep-pm2mo
At this point, just getting to see any of the remaining legends, even do 1 song, is an event worth seeing.
Glad you got to see him!👍👌🎸
@@calsurflance5598 ..Seen him many times..always wonderful including last night despite his obvious frailty playing with his buddies
James Burton, happy to see him back again !!!

James!
Keith Richards said he didn’t buy Ricky Nelson records.. he bought James Burton records..
BTW the lyrics of ‘hello Marylou’mwere written almost in their entirety by Gene Pitney.
I always bought Ricky Nelson and James Burton records....nothin' wrong about Ricky Nelson!
Brian May,Ronnie Wood and James Burton, 3 powerful singers and players out of any context,they could play and sing without pause.Congratulations.
James Burton was an absolute monster player in his day. There was nobody better..
Always great to see legends but thsi time awesome to see Arielle playimg with her heroes and being invited by them to perform along with her friend Brian - what an awesome night and exposure for such a talented artist she is and what a great night she had with friends and idols - finally performing in the spotlight where she deserves as well- Thanks James and Bri fro having her on.
Arielle is just amazing as a singer, songwriter, guitarist. To cap it off she is a humble and caring human being. Cant wait to see where life takes her.
So cool! I just wish there weren't four other guitarists and a horn section drowning him out for most of the song.
JB at 83 keep Rockabilling.
The Shirt Brain May use I designed and got made as a gift for James Burton for one of the shows I did with him in Norway :)) that's cool
Is this the first time Brian has performed "Hello Mary Lou" in full? :)
Brian used to sing harmonny of that song wiith Freddie as a lead singer
Yes, but Queen only did half of that song as part of a rock ‘n roll oldies medley they did on the Magic tour :)

They're looking at each other like "No Way!!!"😅
@@jtknapp3261 your right I'm sure both learnt them riffs 50 yrs ago.
What an astounding evening. Rock and Roll history in front of us. All the more emotional when you realise James’ son Jeff died in 2019.
and for those who don't know, the female guitarist on the right of Ronnie is Jeff's daughter Taylor-it's a family business for sure.
An adorable video. And I love Elvis and James Burton
I hope they fired the sound crew: it's a crime against R&R.
That was awesome! Music can instantly make you feel better.
James Burton, still Taking Care of Business.
Simply everyone in that venue having the time of their lives 😍 Best concert EVER......... I'll never forget
Of course. James Burton had so much to do with the start of rock-n-roll.
I was there. So humbling. Amazing legends.
ROCK'N'ROLL is nothing but a big family
Fantastic concert it was great to be there!!!!!
Wow, great! James Burton! And some very fine guitar folks on the same stage! Amazing!
James Burton - tolles Guitar- Solo 👏
A lesson in when not to play.
This song is timeless - it's part rockabilly, rock & roll and country. So nice to hear it done by these venerable musicians.
the last statement was very well said and i agree. right on!!. M.G. in Phoenix, Az.,.
Totally awesome, thanks for sharing!!!
James Burton used to sleep on the Nelsons couch
No Ricky Nelson, but still decent cover, lot better than Freddie Mercury and Robert Plant pathetic attempts. Still the song needs acoustical guitar(s) to carry it of properly.
SO WEIRD to see Brian May singing lead with no guitar strapped on! Still, a fun performance.
Pretty cool but it would have been nice if one of those guys would have listened to the rhythm guitar part
JB - King of the telecaster. Absolute legend.
Is James Burton the only one from Elvis' orchestra who is still with us ?
Zeppelin did it the best. Find it on TH-cam from the How the west was won concert. It’s in the whole lotta love song.
I don't which happened first. Did God create the Fender Telecaster and then James Burton or was it the other way around?
Last thing you want is Brian May singing tbf 😂
Like watching Michael Angelo make a sandwich.
James burton issuch a concentrated fun guy🎉🎉🎉🎉r
JB 83 or 84 yo here and can play like he's 24. Godspeed James Burton.
Yaaaay Ronnie Wood 🤘🏻🕶🤘🏻🎸
