Young Jerry Douglas tearin' it up...

@thedict8or John Duffey could for sure give them a run for their money in the areas of talent and lack of fashion sense to boot.

Yeah Jerry plays so tastefully, and these days he is just awesome. I compare him with the greatest pedal steel guitarist ever, Buddy Emmons. They are both masters of their instruments, both the best there that will ever be, and will probably stay that way as long as human beings live on planet earth.

the musical talent of O'Connor, Fleck, and Douglas is inversely proportional to their fashion sense.

You don't know what love is until you've seen the birth of the blues.

I always love those truly 70s glasses you see Jerry wearing in these old vids ;)

@ArkRed1 Perhaps sir, it's you that has no respect for those "young twits".

@ArkRed1 This one wasn't about Chet, it was about the "young kids" showing what they've got. Everyone knows Chet and his talent, but he got them together to showcase them, not to showcase himself. That had to be at least 20 years ago, so all the guys except Chet, were just around 30 or a tad older. Chet loved to take a back seat and let new talent shine. Today, Bela, Mark and Jerry are onsidered masters of their craft. Kinda like Chet was in his day.

@ArkRed1 C'mon now - you know every person on that stage knew they were playing with a legend even then. For all we know, it was just a time limit on a TV show - they have all of 3 minutes to play!! I'd love to see Chet lay it out too but it's not the fault of the other musicians that he didn't get to.

Arkansas Red

Hey guys, let Chet take a ride. What is he chopped liver? Well, now we'll never know what great ride Chet would have taken. The young twits just ain't got no respect.

stevesprinceofsteaks

Man this is some old stuff. and these guys have just gotten even more incredible.

Great picking! It is a little disappointing that Chet doesn't take a ride, but as far as I'm concerned, that in no way detracts from the virtuosity of the other players.

Sucks. They have Atkins mic off.

I love this! ...BUT there's only one thing missing... what 'bout CHET... in case ya ain't heard, he's a danged sweet soloist in his own right! (Of course, I STILL added this to my favorites!)!
