- Smiley Bates Live..NOT A GREAT VIDEO ..camera should have been set to manual focus..it was on auto and focused on the closest thing the table or chair in front of it...Cliff had a disagrement with Norma Gail ( Bass ) so she was replaced during the tour.
I'd like to take a moment and thank the person who posted This rare video of my favorite performer ever. Smiley was a true Canadian and the very best picker in the world. Many people. Including myself have atempted to flatpick like Smiley. But as for me. I can't even come close. .Thank you so much ..Chuck Kelly. .Belleville Ontario. .
Hi Chuck ..My name is Paul Saulnier.. Moncton N.B. I was the bass player for the band that backed up Smiley for his last tour..But just before we went on tour I had a falling out with Cliff Jewels and was fired .I was replaced with Norma Gail but she and Cliff had a falling out on the tour in PEI and she was let go..the tape was recorded in Halifax by Danny Richard the guitar player who had to hire a fella from Halifax to play bass for the tape that I posted ( I got a copy from Danny )..The guys in the band were ..SMILEY BATES..Big Earl on drums,Larry Lemieux keyboard,Danny Richard rythum guitar,Gene Richard vocals and sorry but I never got the bass players name..If you would like to see me trying to pick some of Smileys tunes please check out ..Paul Saulnier`s Music on TH-cam click on videos at the top left side of my page to load up all the clips ..Thanks Chuck..Regards Paul

a pity this artist was not recorded more.
There are lots and lots of recordings of this great artist, just not enough live footage on TH-cam. Hope some more will be posted. Many thanks to Paul Saulnier for posting this!!!!
