I saw him play a few years back and had my jaw hit the ground several times. What an awesome Entertainer and a heck of a nice guy. You really wish they were more around like him, but there is only one Junior Brown.
I saw him once too and was also blown away. Just the mechanics of how he works that rig, going back and forth between the tele and the steel, how he so fluidly grabbed the steel's slide out of it's holder, and then put it back, without every dropping it, and throwing the switch to change between the two at the same time. That alone was amazing to me. As a player he is absolutely jaw dropping. He is one of those players who what you see is definitely NOT what you hear. They just don't sync up.
You can have the Grammys...I'll take talent over flash any day! These are some fine musicians..They'll never get the recognition like they deserve but WOW!! they can play and have fun..And isn't that what it's all about..
@@peterottes6900 actually I said it wrong. It’s supposed to be ‘little gold plated paper weight’ and it’s from a song called “Carl Perkins’ Cadillac” by Drive By Truckers. Basically calling Grammys empty compared to talent and hard work.
That's so cool that JR. Brown would just walk away and give those guys his instrument. He comes from a generation where musicians tried to help each other and learn from each other instead of trying to upstage each other on you tube. This kind of collaborative effort should be encouraged to younger players.
@@williama5550 Yeah, they were great, but absolutely ZERO threat to Junior. I felt they were really thrown off by the guitar being on a stand up rig, especially at first.
wow!!!!!!! wish I had been there. my home state has been so blessed with great musical talent, The Vaughn Bros, Jr Brown, ZZ Top, Willie, Kris Kristofferson, Buddy Holly. Janis Joplin. And so many others.
Every time I come across greatness on TH-cam such as these legends I see some "thumbs down". Seriously? You Debbie-downers must be fun at parties! Who in the hell gives thumbs-down to pure talent such as these guys? And they're just having fun! Rock on guys!
They're having so much damned fun!!! I've always been envious of talented musicians like them!!! In a good way though, cause they're damned fun to watch perform too!!!
I've had the great good fortune to see all three of these fine musicians...though all were separate shows. The time I saw Redd, he was playing with the great Bill Kirchen, in northern Virginia...so make that FOUR Guitar Gods ! My cup runneth over !
Antones is THE place in Austin for top notch musicians. Always a fantastic time. And I used to watch Junior Brown for free at the Continental club on congress Ave. for free at happy hour..... Austin is like no other city for music...
All that talent on one stage. At Antones. The place where it really started for this run. Jimmie, Red And Junior. Simply F'n Awesome! Thanks for this vid posting.
I used to love the online brawls between Jimmy and Dick Dale. It was so hard to work out if they were real. It's nice to hear Jimmy sing though, because his voice is a lot like his late brother's, the man who played so well that people didn't notice how well he sang.
3 guys living life.Been a long time since I have hung out with either Jimmy or Jr .Perhaps I need to get down to Austin.👍🔥🎶🎶🎶😵💫🤨👏✌️ Guit-steelin' da show 😎
Redd was hand picked several years ago by Roy Nichols the original guitar player of Mere Haggard's band the Strangers to be his replacement when he retired. Out of all the pickers on the planet, he was picked. Merle is picky with his band members too.Redd is awesome as you can tell.
I seen the thumbnail and was like "damn I ain't ever seen JR without his custom suit and hat before. Damn he got big too. Wth is going on?" What a cool jam session though. Awesome. Them boys were rockin man!!!!!!
If these 3, srv , willie and zz top had been at the Alamo on March 6, 1836, the Mexicans woulda broke out the tequila and cerveza and cooked a bunch of beens and then went home to Mexico!!!!!!!!!!
They were great, but there were also quite a few iffy notes, JR's guitar seems to be throwing them off a bit, especially early on. They seemed to be getting used to it by the end.
Believe it or not, Redd Volkaert is better than both of them... you can hear him throw in some real jazz, flatted fifths, etc... you can see they both just lay out and let Redd take it for a long time... a musician's musician... not to take away from Junior's schtick at all. Now Jimmy.... he's lucky to have friends like that.
scowell not sure if he is better or not but it was sloppy. accuracy is always better than more notes. and jimmy tries but SRV was far and beyond him. junoir has a unique style that i like.

Sam Phillips didn't need no plastic paper weight.
@@professornuke7562 What would you be referring to?

I was at this show! Watch out for Red cause he will show you how much you have to learn.
I MISS OLD AUSTIN!

No ego tripping there. Junior the consummate gentlemen. Letting them all gig on his Guit-Steel. Salud Junior! "The Hendrix of Twang"
True. He don't mind them playing his rig because he isn't scared.
@@williama5550 Yeah, they were great, but absolutely ZERO threat to Junior. I felt they were really thrown off by the guitar being on a stand up rig, especially at first.
Three virtuosos having a great time! Too bad Stevie couldn't have been there............
God bless SRV, may he RIP.
wow!!!!!!! wish I had been there. my home state has been so blessed with great musical talent, The Vaughn Bros, Jr Brown, ZZ Top, Willie, Kris Kristofferson, Buddy Holly. Janis Joplin. And so many others.
JohnMagillM dont ever forget the winter bros
I saw Junior at a Johnny Winter show soaking it in.
WHY!?!!? WHY?? WHY IN THE HELL would anyone hit dislike on this phenomenal shit??
3 amazing guitarist, one guitar and each with their on distinct tone! That’s when you know!
Heh heh, this is the first time I've seen anyone besides Jr. play that instrument! ;)
Every time I come across greatness on TH-cam such as these legends I see some "thumbs down". Seriously? You Debbie-downers must be fun at parties! Who in the hell gives thumbs-down to pure talent such as these guys? And they're just having fun! Rock on guys!
Now that's an old time jam there, love it
I am truly blessed to live in Austin. Shows like this can be seen pretty much any night of the week. Beautiful stuff.
JB Brown, my 1st Steel Guitar teacher back in 1977.78..Great C6 player..
This is the real stuff. True talent on display.
Holy shit these guys are good, I didn't think anybody could get these sounds out of this guitar besides Junior, especially the guy with no face.
True it's all in the art of the player! One guitar just blew me away!
Jimmie Vaughn killed it wow!
NOTHING is better than this!!
Junior gave it up for Redd and Jimmie..What a good character to let them jam on his guit-steel instrument..good jam...
J.B. badass! about Tx. In ever thought about it,many great artists to name. Must be something in the water!
Junior is from Indiana. Just so you know.
They're having so much damned fun!!! I've always been envious of talented musicians like them!!! In a good way though, cause they're damned fun to watch perform too!!!
TRUE MUSICIANS HAVING AT IT NO ATTITUDE PURE FUN.
I've had the great good fortune to see all three of these fine musicians...though all were separate shows. The time I saw Redd, he was playing with the great Bill Kirchen, in northern Virginia...so make that FOUR Guitar Gods ! My cup runneth over !
How can someone give this a thumbs down? Really??!?!?
Because of your comment.
Absolutely incredible. Loved this.You don't see this every day.
Antones is THE place in Austin for top notch musicians. Always a fantastic time. And I used to watch Junior Brown for free at the Continental club on congress Ave. for free at happy hour.....

Guitar playing at its most free and a joy to behold.

I've seen Jimmy Vaughn and Jr Brown at the Executive Surf club in corpus christi, I had never heard of the other gentleman freakin awesome
OMG SO COOL. JR BROWN IS HAVING A HARD TIME STAYING ON THIS PLANET
OMG you can't make this up saw Junior B n his lovely Bride with a top hat drummer n excellent bass player in a small venue in Portland Me wow

DAMN BET THAT WAS A NIGHT TO REMEMBER
Fat dude in the ballcap is Redd Volkaert. He can play circles around most players you know.
This is AMAZING!!!!!!!
That is so badass guys strumming and respect...........
BEST JAM EVER!!!!

That was great!
I think I just crapped my pants. That has got to be the best thing I've ever heard.
Great vid
That little piece of guitar got a workout,
Real musicians........
I seen the thumbnail and was like "damn I ain't ever seen JR without his custom suit and hat before. Damn he got big too. Wth is going on?" What a cool jam session though. Awesome. Them boys were rockin man!!!!!!
These guys could give a shit about the Grammy's, they know they are better than that!
Speechless without speech
Love how Redd gave it a li'l bit of Wes right out the gate.
Beyond words it is soooooooo GOOD
One word...... DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Red sounds like a jazz influenced blues player.
What a FANTASTIC jamm session. Sorry I missed it!
If these 3, srv , willie and zz top had been at the Alamo on March 6, 1836, the Mexicans woulda broke out the tequila and cerveza and cooked a bunch of beens and then went home to Mexico!!!!!!!!!!
+Steve Stringer You do realize that Texas was part of Mexico back then right?
So they would have been going home to?? Texas?
rrtodd95 Yes Tehas!
Steve Stringer Wiw Gringo, give the lsnd back to the native americans you stole it from.
thanks for posting, from a long time fan
Yeah.Trading 8s (or whatever it is) on the same axe? Brilliant !
Yeah!!! It's Fun...in a band, when you switch around.. I did it all thru my HIGH SCHOOL AND LATER-ON BAND..
3 different guitarist one guitar, 3 great wild tones! more proof tone is all in the hands.
That was hot as Hell! It would have been awesome to witness this!
Driving that audience wild.
Good stuff!!!!! Love it.
Wes Starr "Yeah!"
Junior is The Man!
that was so great!!
Wow. Red is Gattonizing this one.
WOOOW !!
I wish I could see him!!!
Redd should tour more.
All that's missing is The Reverend Horton Heat!
Old Hippie Approved
love it.
great time for all !
wow what a night that must have been 3 greats 1 axe
Is it me, or does JR. Brown look like a slightly older Kiefer Sutherland ? Lol !
You know, it could be. Have never seen them together.
:D
I think he looks more like a younger Rodney Dangerfield.
He's got to be over 50 if this is from 2006
that was great
FUKIN AWESOME!!!
They were great, but there were also quite a few iffy notes, JR's guitar seems to be throwing them off a bit, especially early on. They seemed to be getting used to it by the end.
Redd Volkaert stole the show
I think Red heard some Wes one time.
Redd makes the guitsteel look small.
i heard one of you songs on the alex jones radio show today your music is kick ass
JUNIOOORRRRRR !!!!!!!!!!!
Red Tell Jr. Hello Jr. Tell Red Hello
Oh Yeah Jr and Red Tell Jimmy Hey
This isn't the million dollar quartet, but lets call it the half-million trio.

Indeed
RED, WOW!
Hell Yeah !
the world's best
WOW!!!!!!!
Who's the big bearded guy? He can hold his own with Jimmy and Junior. What an awesome jam session!
