A touch of Stephane Grapelli on the violin! John Hughey was incredible. May he rest in eternal musical peace. As for Vince and Albert, well, legends on their own.
That "old guy on the steel" was one of the kindest, gentlest men I ever met. I'm thankful to be able to say I got to know him as part of my extended family. He was a consummate gentleman, a joy to talk with, and an outstanding musician. Nashville could use a few more like John Hughey these days!
Ain't that the truth. Music Row is a disaster. To many producers that haven't grown up listening to country music. It all sounds like the Lymard Skynard I grew up with in the mid 70's. Sad.
Exactly. I'm so tired of my middle-aged friends still touting Heavy Metal guitarist, and I always make them play Bebop, Swing and old-school country - which they can not really play, just to shut them the heck up, and humble them. Sorry, no power chord riffs hear lads, you better actually know something!
Not only was John Hughey one of the greatest steel guitarists of all time, he was also an incredibly nice, humble man. One of the finest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.
He's probably trying to respect the tune, it wouldn't mke much musical sense to just start shredding all over the neck on a relitively slow and steady song like this...almost every first-hand account of him will tell you how humble and understated this guy was and I think it always translated into his playing.
rob is right, danny is playing a solo that fits the song, i love to play fast but constant shredding is tiring to audience after a while, all the solos in this song are excellent.
As Willie Nelson once put it, "Western swing is jazz on guitars." If you like jazz you would easily like western swing, and vice versa. I played jazz guitar, and I liked western swing. Same stuff.
The whole lineup here clearly had the "Hot Club de France" in mind while playing this rendition. Albert, Vince and Danny are doing their best Django impression, the fiddle player is doing his best grapelli, and the old dude on steel is summing up the whole gypsy jazz vibe... amazing
@@lambert1702 That seems to be on a lot of his live videos. The duet with Arlen Roth on Conan O'Brien's show was awful. Guy played his heart out and the sound man was asleep.
Good grief these guys are sooo good !!! Vince is right, best and smoothest steel player I've ever heard. It's not easy to play like that. You give me hope that turning 60 isn't over the hill yet. :-)
If you want to know how the presence of the greatest musician ever born impacts a show with phenomenal talent on board, watch how hard Vince Gill is concentrating on his solo. When The Humbler is on the set, you better be at the top of your game, and the pressure is obvious.
I am trying to get over the frustration of not learning to play like this! Seems to be taking quite a while, I can remember back in time certain opportunities I had. I always had the wrong impression of this type of music. I had thought it was corrected when I had a HeeHaw revelation with Roy Clark but that was just the beginning of my pain!
11 for Steel and 10 for that fiddle lee knows hows how to dance thru the changes gill had some connections with the pedal note gatton was up there with steel and fiddle did i mention gatton
Most of the time when jazz players play this tune, they call it Donna Lee, it doesn’t swing nearly this hard, and they don’t hit the changes nearly as well as these guys.
No cowboy chord wear on Gatton’s guitar. Every fret was worn. Guy was stellar. RIP🍀

Why did you not mention the BEST-Danny Gatton!
They are the best of the best!!!

That was SO good. Oh my. The steel player and Gatton really melt my socks. And Albert Lee has such joy.
Vince Gill? Jeez. What a gem this is.
No distortion,no yelling,just pure musicianship,what a fine song from great musicians,

John was a dear friend and monster player. I sure miss making music with him.
Danny held back on that solo.
How did they fit all this talent in one room this is just ridiculous
I came to this video for Gatton but i keep coming back for Vince Gill's solo.
American Music Shop was one of the finest music shows on television.
That's the first Danny gatton solo I've ever heard where I was able to breathe through the entire thing. He was very restrained and within the song.
The one and only Martin Parker on drums. A world class musician and a great friend to boot. I miss him.
Watching this as I’m in LA and awaiting to move back home to Indiana
This is "real music" and unbelievable talent...
i always feel danny is holding back when he's playing with others...
He's probably trying to respect the tune, it wouldn't mke much musical sense to just start shredding all over the neck on a relitively slow and steady song like this...almost every first-hand account of him will tell you how humble and understated this guy was and I think it always translated into his playing.
Just the way Danny was . . .
God bless 'im. The humility of "the humbler."
Danny Gatton...Goat.

Vince Gills tone winning.
As Willie Nelson once put it, "Western swing is jazz on guitars." If you like jazz you would easily like western swing, and vice versa. I played jazz guitar, and I liked western swing. Same stuff.

Sure wish they'd bring shows like this back...also, bringing back the Grand Ol Opry live in TV as well... Man, those were the best of days
Amazing performance by all musicians, pure class, R I P John Huey , what a massive loss you are to country music
Albert has the perfect amount of compression on his setup...
A bunch of greats. Old times, old loves.
Lucky, I got to meet Papa John at Jimmy Crawford's house....yes RIP John.
WHAT !! OMG every one of these guys totally shredded their moments
That old guy on the steel smoked all of 'em.
Busted all their asses on the floor, damn
@@Kylerjguitar Very fine on the steel, but never NOBODY smokin' Danny Gatton.
@@DHudelson Agreed. Danny played awesome, but his tone was so bad you could hardly hear him.
@@lambert1702 That seems to be on a lot of his live videos. The duet with Arlen Roth on Conan O'Brien's show was awful. Guy played his heart out and the sound man was asleep.
That old guy is one of the best steel players to ever sit behind a psg.
He is certainly missed
Impressed by Vince Gill's solo, didn't expect to be considering the company. Completely inside the style.
It’s amazing how these guys improvise like they do, playing is out of this world.
The best !! play well in HEAVEN
Wow, so much talent on this stage it's almost unimaginable! Danny had so many more great recordings in him.....
Good grief these guys are sooo good !!! Vince is right, best and smoothest steel player I've ever heard. It's not easy to play like that. You give me hope that turning 60 isn't over the hill yet. :-)
💙hillbilly jazz
Unbelievable collection of talent right there.
The talent in just 2 hands ... They are all there awesome ... I tip my hat to them ...
Well, in the case of John Hughey it's two hands, two knees and two feet!
Wow that is simply one hell of a band!
Speechless right now.....
If you want to know how the presence of the greatest musician ever born impacts a show with phenomenal talent on board, watch how hard Vince Gill is concentrating on his solo. When The Humbler is on the set, you better be at the top of your game, and the pressure is obvious.

RIP John. He was the best. We miss you, buddy.
Watching the best of the best!!!
Stunning group of talent. Yet then there was Dan.
John Hughey. My God! Where can I learn how to do THAT!?
Great music!

Smooooth!
There's Django in Danny's playing.
Danny Gatton way underplayed as was his wont when playing with other talent. Very humble guy equal or better to any.
❤
That's a tough song to play!
that was the awesomest
Jazz jazz👍👍💓
Back Home In Indiana
Back Home in Indiana
A C 6th master right there!
Sweet!!
INDIANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah!!!
Great tasty melodic playing. Check out Glen Campbell doing this one. (Back Home Again in Indiana)
Smokin and super tasty. 13 thumbs down = Yngvie Malmsteen fans.
amazing :)
TIM McLUTH LETTED ME PLAY HIS SHOWDUD ELECTRIC LAID DOWN BANJO ONCT!
yep
10 for steel
yeap guys ;)
11 for Steel and 10 for that fiddle
lee knows hows how to dance thru the changes
gill had some connections with the pedal note
gatton was up there with steel and fiddle
did i mention gatton
wow
There are a lot of good steel players. The two best I’ve ever heard are Buddy Emmons and John Hughey.
WOWOWOWOW/
Vince can pick a little.
Most of the time when jazz players play this tune, they call it Donna Lee, it doesn’t swing nearly this hard, and they don’t hit the changes nearly as well as these guys.
not the same tune, written on the same chords...
Can I get a hell yeah! Oh but wait. Sorry I hum Yay...
all great players gatton maybe a bit more harmonically adventurous than the other guitarists but all tell good stories with their playing
GREAT comment!
Ditto
This was from 93'.
Now we get songs with someone no-talent howling about a tractor, truck, or drinking beer. I miss country music!
Ah, that's what the neck pickup is for lol
Does anyone out there know the name of that tune? I love it.
It's called "Back Home Again In Massachussetes" ;~)
Any guitarist who plays on the same stage as danny must have balls of steel because if he wanted to he could embarass you
Maybe Roy Buchanan and Terry Kath could have held the challenge, just saying... Danny was an incredible guitar player.
Was this a "NO OVATION" AMS?
I miss American Music Shoppe SO much. It was always the musicians first, not the lame ,"humor" of some lame MC.
For once...great camera work.
PS - IS THAT STEVIE DAY VAUGHNPLAYING THAT RED LES PAUL?!!
How good is 1:49 to 2:05
sc lawman is this Stan or Del McCoy?
