What a treat. I couldn’t imagine hanging with the Kentucky Head Hunters and then seeing that dressing room jam with Scaggs. My god.
Standing there at Skaggs’ dressing room door while he played Uncle Pen, I seriously had to pinch myself. All the other performers were standing there too, nudging each other and grinning ear to ear.
@@TheGuitologist I bet. That high lonesome was pretty high and lonesome. You’re a lucky dog! Thanks for sharing.
This is really cool cuz I will never get to go backstage at the Grand old Opry ever again except for on this video LOL
I really like that song walk softly on the Heart of Mine
To some of us (non Americans) ... The South is a proper, proper thing! ... Thank y'all 👍👍👍
As a southerner I thank you
The David Crowder Band played at our church 12-15 years ago. I don't remember exactly, but they were a great band. I played in our church band, so I got to hang out with him for the whole day. We played guitar together for an hour or so. He is a super nice guy, and a great songwriter/musician.
Cool cat, and great band. He had a 10-piece band.
Canadian here. The Opry was a capstone feature of my trip to Nashville with my (fellow guitar-lovin’) son.
A week of live country music every moment of the day.
And at night and the early morning, live in our hotel room-I brought a dobro and a banjo!!!🇨🇦
Currently dying in bed with some sort of flu, this is what i was needing to take my mind off of things i need to do.
Get well soon!
@@TheGuitologist Cheers Brad much appreciated, Thanks for the quality content.
Hanging out with Charlie McCoy. Charlie use to use me on sessions when I lived in Nashville. A true musical genius and an even greater human being. Kudos Brad.
I was honored to meet him. What a cool fella
@@TheGuitologist yea man, I played in the band Barefoot Jerry with him along with Wayne Moss on guitar as well. I just didn’t know how blessed I was at the time. I learned so much about music from those cats. How I wish I could live those days over again.
And don't forget.... he got to play with Ween. 🤘
@@BockwinkleB My brother Buddy Blackmon played banjo on that Ween recording along with Charlie McCoy.
@@fiddlix Awesome. It's a great album.
Guitologist this has got to be one of your best videos, I’ve always loved The Kentucky Head Hunters, and being at the Grand Old Opry is such a treasure thank you for this wonderful video Brad!!!
this brightened up a shitty day like you would not believe . Thank you
I heard that! 🍻
Sometimes people say I'd love to been a fly on the wall at the time. I think this is one of those times Brad and you are that fly. 👍🏻
Yeah, I was practically Jeff Goldblum!
Hahaha yeah!
That exact phrase kept swimming around my mind... I was definitely transported to the backstage of the Ol Opry while watching this.
Thanks Brad for buzzing around for us!
@@TheGuitologist hoping your medicine cabinet ain't looking like Brundlleflys. Mine is running out of room for shriveled body parts falling off but I got a few years on you.
That was so cool. I never seen what any of that looks like back stage or the seats. Its much bigger than I ever imagined. Those guys can play great.
This is gonna blow the guitar center video off the map
Cool video Brad. Sure is nice to have friends in high places lol
You got that right!
Oh very nice! I was hoping to make it back there again at some point. What a wonderful experience! Thank you so much for sharing this!
I've been watching Opry shows for many, many years and I've never seen it like this!! What a treat!! Thanks Brad.
Wow Brad, just wow.
What an incredible place with an incredible amount of music history.
What an experience! Good on ya and thanks for the front seat!
Very cool. Best I can think of to say. I think my people being Southerners gives a Chicago boy some appreciation. You're allright for sure.
Please don’t stop SPF!!!
That was great, all of it, backstage, gear, gear room. Totally cool 😎 Thanks Brad 🤓
The Ryman sure looks different......don't mind me, I'm about 48 years out of the loop.
This isn't at the Ryman, it's the venue they built in the 70s. The opry was moved back then.
@@TheGuitologist cheers
Brilliant video Brad. Thanks for sharing the backstage view.
That's so cool, Brad. What an awesome hang. All the history from before and in the making. Glorious!
These boys know how to get er done!
That was so enjoyable , Thanks Brad .
Enjoying a look see...
Oh man, I'm not into country at all but that place looks like the earthly manifestation of the 'great gig in the sky', what an amazing place!
Here for the premiere 👍
Cool. I've done a couple of load in/load outs for these guys over the years. Done so many shows they all run together. Never really officially introduced. But cant help but rub elbows goin in and out.. You get a feel for what kinda people the artists are. I do remember they always seemed gracious, respectful and appreciative towards my crew. Good people...
Looked to see if l could direct y'all to a video l shot and upliaded behind the scenes of a load in we did for them. Think it was at Oak Mountain Amphitheater in B'ham. Unfortunately it's private on my legacy channel. Which, for whatever reason, UA-cam decided a couple years ago that l am no longer me. WTF? Now l cant even access my own original channel to make settings changes. Sometimes l hate what this platform has become.
Great very insightful video Brad! Thanks for showing Mr. Gruhn just chillin' I haven't been able to get down there and see him for awhile.
Love all Brads content !
Wow what an amazing gig! The Headhunters are awesome-thanks, Brad!
I really enjoyed watching these guys at my local county fair last summer. Great show!
The headhunters are an awesome band. I love their version of walk softly. That must have been a real treat to go to the Opry with them. Hope you had a nice Christmas Brad!
It certainly was. Hanging out on their bus there and back, talking about the Native American artifacts they’ve found on their property and stuff. Had a big ol time.
Missed it! Love y’all anyhow, sweet vid Brad
This is priceless man
Wow, the history of that place, the stage set up is fascinating, tilt backs for the amps, isolation walls and monitors for the back up singers. Stage volume is much lower, no in ear monitors here! W he at a trip…..thanks Brad!!😮
time well spent and this made me smile a lot ,thankyou for
putting in the effort brad, i hope you had a fantastic christmas
and wish you all the best and more for the coming year fella,
time is always precious ,and when musicians get together
its even more valid ,good work, thankyou !
What a grand adventure, Brad! Thanks for sharing.
Holy sh!t ! That’s as good as any of my adventures
My jaw is on the floor
Wow is all I can say ! You are truly blessed to be in the presence of such greatness ! Great job on the video ! Happy New Year !! Big hello to them Head Hunters thanks guys !
Lucky you Brad!!! Now if you can get backstage at one of the upcoming Pantera shows....seriously tho I'm happy you got to do this broman!!
Kool video .. do more of these, Brad.
Get me backstage at at some legendary venue and I will! 😂
Fantastic episode Brad.
I'm not a huge Country fan by any stretch, but the Headhunters at the Opry? I'd totally be down for that. And, was that Ricky Skaggs playing too? That's just a great bill.
Nice vid Brad ... That was fun wasn't it ... thx for sharing ...
Hi Brad, I was there for this event sitting in the second row! Charlie McCoy (another train song, if you would!), Crowder (those Elves, though), KHH, and Ricky Skaggs - What a night. This is better than some documentaries. I love the way that everyone's family at the Opry!
I remember you saying you were going to check out the Opryland years ago !
Well here it is !
Awesome Brad! I've been around the Headhunters too many times to count but at the Opry! That's awesome! This one really makes me feel at home! Thanks for bringing us along! 👍
Fantastic!!! What an experience you must of had.. Thank You so much for sharing that with us. Watching the Video you could really feel the excitement everyone had and you could tell everyone was just soaking in the History of the place and the kindness of others around
Godard Brad, you gotta realize you couldn't had this opportunity if you hadn't got where you got got cuz of what ypu accomplished! We don't all get the chance to experience this kinda day! Did I miss the details on th!at Tele you were honking on? I'll rewatch.
I lived in Kentucky for five years after getting out of the Army at Fort Campbell, and my one regret is not making it to the Grand Ole Opry at least once before moving back to Texas. Awesome video brad and a fantastic glimpse into a piece of music history. I may be a proud Texan, but those Kentucky hills and that Tennessee whiskey will always have a special place in my heart.
Opened for Kentucky Head Hunters a while back.
Also got invited to play at the Grand Ole Opry but got bumped two days before the show…. Sht happens….lol
What a cool experience, thanks for sharing Brad. I bet that was a surreal feeling walking backstage and around the corner there’s Ricky Skaggs and his bluegrass ensemble.
Brad, this is AWESOME in the true sense of the word..❤
David Crowder …. That was a pleasant surprise.
My grandfather produced the Opry back in the radio only days (Chuck Forbes) … I super enjoyed this backstage experience.
That was really cool! Never thought I'd see a Headhunter playing through a digital modeling amp onstage (fender deluxe tonemaster)??? That was weird.. Them and Georgia Satellites have put down some of the best vintage tube amp sounds (marshalls, fenders, hiwatts) ever on record.
Good video Brad. I really enjoyed it.
Sweeeeeet! I remember Charlie Mccoy's legendary Orange blossom special.
Oh my goodness. You hung out with Charlie McCoy! A living legend! May the good Lord give us many years of Mr. McCoy!
WOW MAN!
Pure goosebumps!
That was a great gift!
Not enough words in my vocabulary to express the elation so I'll keep it real simple.
WOW!
Your a legend Brad!
Best band ever! Love it!
Charlie McCoy I used to listen to the 8 tracks in the back of the station wagon as a young kid. He is awesome, And I used to cover Dumas Walker back in the 90's and I'm a rock guy.
made my night, thanks for sharing Brad
Very cool. To get to be a bug on the wall at an event like this is fascinating and exciting. Thanks for taking us along!
Too cool Brad. Merry Christmas and Happy & Prosperous New year!
If you ever get the chance, you should do a walk around, at the Louisville Palace Theater. In my younger days, I traveled the country watching live music, but I always thought the Palace was the most beautiful place the go see a show. I would even take girls in there during off hours, just to show off.
Yeah, the Palace is nice. I saw John Prine and Belle and Sebastian there in the past. Probably others I can't recall ATM.
@@TheGuitologist together? I'd so that's a wild bill.
Not together.
You are the man.
Love it!
my fav video so far. Greg should write a book of all his stories (and lies) haha
Country music was huge in the 80s, I grew up in the country on a farm and had a love for those old country hits. Hank Williams, Hank Jr and now Hank 3 and Hank 4, it's amazing 4 generations of great music makers in one family. But I used to love watching hee haw. All them great pickers, gave me a love for country.
Man, I bet your skin/hair was tingling! Mine was just looking through the glass eye!
It was!
@@TheGuitologist Man, with everything going on, it was awesome that you were able to get away for a while. What a great trip, and to see, smell, touch and hear the history there must have been incredible! I have several stories of similar things that happened to me when I was a younger man, and still playing in bands. Don't ever forget 'little' things like this, because when you are 15-20 years older, these moments will become big things in your memories.
That was a ton of fun Brad !!!!
Thanks SO much for taking us along ..🙏
You are the man. Who needs SPF , when your rocking with INCREDIBLE content like this … UNTOUCHABLE !!!!!!!
🤠🎸🎶🤙
You know Brad , with the fairly recent passing of Joe Chambers , maybe a new approach to the channel could be , you traveling around , doing the backstage thing , combined with short interviews with these legends . Every bit of modern relevance can only help these greats gain even more popularity . And certainly wouldn’t hurt your channel I think.
🤔something to think about at least.
Wow!!! Too cool, Brad!!! Thanks…😀
The Awesomist Guitologist. A very fun video. Thanks!
Cool! Thanks Brad!
Where ya gonna get that! Thank you Brad! What a blast!!
I have to say this is my favorite video of yours sir. I'm sure most of us would like to see more like this.
Awesome Experience and cool video Brad. Thanks for putting this together!!
Is it odd that I'm amazed by the great stage lighting?
I see Boone froggett running around everywhere too
Great video. Glad you got to hang with them.
Those legendary players in those traditional slow gear bands certainly sound awesome combined on the Grand Ole Opry stage, if they only knew how lucky they all were just to be around Brad, who could levitate up above the stage and float around at will while playing the guitar!…True Story…8)
Nice…..😂
Thnx for your journey
Great show
Enjoy ur videos with Steve would love to see more! Especially the old gold top
Bucket list experiences are always cool. But those WEBB amps. Holy moly that's cool from my neighborhood
Outstanding Brad !!! Thank you so much
Wow, thanks for this video, Brad! I'm originally from Louisville, so it's cool to see some Kentucky music. Also, I learned something! I'd never seen an amp stand like that, before! The Enhancer! I've looked them up, really cool idea! I've got a '68-'69 Vibro Champ here that I'd like to try with one of those Enhancers!
That’s awesome. And killer boots man!
Crowder is awesome !
He is a Christian artist with many great song's !
Pretty cool. I got to see a show there years ago.
SPF or not Brad, this is a lot of fun to watch. You make great films like this. I hope you continue. Best wishes.
This is Fantastic !! Thanks
he was talking about hank jr in 90 - i saw that tour - they were great , but hank only made it thru the first verseof guitar man before he threw the thing down and stormed off stage . i was thinking he was more of a jim beam man that night .
Thank you for sharing this, someplace I want to see
The Gruhn Proto looks a whole lot like a Tacoma Chief.
Exactly!
That was a boss leather jacket right!!! @_@
Welp, jealousy ain't a pretty thing, but I have to admit... I'm just a little jealous of this adventure of yours at the Opry with none other than the mighty Kentucky Headhunters, Brad!
What an honor. Ricky Skaggs is one of the greatest musicians ever. Then hanging out with Charlie McCoy. Setting foot on the stage. Congrats.
Left out Kentucky Head Hunters. Man, what a day!
