I know it's not a competition but in my opinion most covers Jerry did are better than the original. The only one I've heard so far that isn't is Early Morning Rain
I used to wonder if my life had purpose or meaning, then I heard Jerry sing the line "cause theyre people there that care a little bit about me and won't let the po boy down". I could die happy
Jerry Reed is my guitar hero!!! I grew up in the 60's & 70's learning all the good music from the the south and mixing up the blues as a little more spice. He was everything! Think about it and look this guitar God!!!!!
Jerry Reed was a great singer and guitars why didn't he sing more of those songs and come out on records and he also sang some slow songs about love he's really talented person love to hear him all the time and when he sang Chuck Berry songs here they were great just as greatest Chuck Berry.
too bad Jerry didn't play some lead. this is big time. I'm seeing this about 3 weeks after Chuck passed,rest his soul .I'd like to find an old tape of BB KING w/ JERRY REED on TV. both playing electric guitar ,around 1980 ish.
Everyone knows county is the base of rock and roll!! From Waylon to Buddy Jerry to Berry!!! All music with the clip a te clock beat is country and that is what rock is based on!!!
@@adrianjames1940 right on my humanoid brother! Different strokes and all, may the great spirit shut your mouth and open your mind! Sex, Droids and Lak & Roll!
That prooves: Jerry could play ALL - blues, jazz, boogie, country - just terrific! Sadly the guy on the lead guitar overplays him; they should have changed the roles; Jerry had to play lead...
Jerry should be the lead guitar, not strumming an acoustic guitar. His playing is drowned out by the electric guitar, which is a shame. Jerry should play lead electric guitar and do Chuck Berry properly.
Several points - a medley tribute of popular songs was common on variety shows like Wagoner’s. When well-done like Reed’s Berry medley, they renewed interest in the original artists’ works, bringing in sales and royalties if the artists still owned the rights. If new medleys garnered enough attention, they could lead to covers being recorded, garnering more royalties, or updated releases by the original artists. Also, I believe Reed and Berry were acquainted as they’d both been in the business for ages. Reed was known as being a supreme pro and nice, not the sort to piss on Berry’s legacy.
They just don't make them that way no more. Rest in Peace Jerry.
I come back to this every year or so and it's always harder and funkier than I remember. What an incredible band.
That Tele player is terrific!
Paul yandell he was chet’s side man for years
Jerry Reed is "BadAss" enough said.
Lord have mercy... Jerry's on fire tonight!
He just lays down the lyrics so well. And of course his musicianship is off the scale.
Jerry was, and is The Music himself..
Jerry Reed was a great guitarist
The man was one of a kind and had mad talent
Love the nudie suits!!! Jerry is just a super singer/musician. I loved him. Thanks!!!
Jerry nails the Berry, makes it his own.
I know it's not a competition but in my opinion most covers Jerry did are better than the original. The only one I've heard so far that isn't is Early Morning Rain
@@adrianjames1940 His version of City of New Orleans is so unique. Flanger on a gut string guitar!
Am I angry that Jerry didn't realease an album with the full songs on. Yes this stuff is amazing
🤪 ball. Thanks for sharing. The mouse in my pocket n I are enlightened.
Jerry could have done some Chuck covers album like he did on Jim Croce.
Paul Yandal awesome
Jerry Reed and Chuck Berry are two of my favourite guitarists. Here Jerry covers a number of Chuck's greats, fantastic, catchy, rhythmic, great stuff!
What? No hat?
Jerry Reed. An awesome talent we will miss.

god paul yandell is going to town on this track! he just play amazing riff after amazing riff , that johnny b good is ureal its just all amazing
I always think Jerry was going to play this on the show and he was like "if I ain't playing lead we need the next best thing! Get Paul on the phone!"
And let's not forget, the legendary Larrie London on drums.... dayuuummmm !!
Great to see a young Paul Yandel
Great medley. His guitarist is a fine picker!
That was great! I wish Jerry had a Hollow Body Electric in his hands over the acoustic but just my take on it. What an awesome musician.
The late Great Larrie London is on drums! Jerry Shook on bass I believe. Paul Yandell and Jerry!
Jerry Reed was a great singer and guitars why didn't he sing more of those songs and come out on records and he also sang some slow songs about love he's really talented person love to hear him all the time and when he sang Chuck Berry songs here they were great just as greatest Chuck Berry.
Damn, they are rockin' like the Swampers (Muscle Shoals). The sense of rhythm Jerry especially possesses is supernatural.
Surprised to see Jerry playing rhythm on this performance.
god that Memphis song he just play some great stuff too
The Snowman is coming through!
Wow. What a legend
Badass Jerry Reed the ole Snowman Comon'
Great old music
Jamel Ling j'y. Le président
I had never heard of this guy until Smokey and the Bandit. Sorry folks I'm from Australia.
Absolutely brilliant
I think Jerry sings Chuck Berry better than anyone else. The whole band is great here.
That's Chuck will some twang.
Great groove on Memphis.
Great guitar player on the left. Cant remember his name. Backed up Chet Atkins for decades.
I did not know Paul Yandell. Obviously a fantastic musician.
Rumour has it, he was the only player around who could play Chet Atkins music as well as Chet, so Chet hired him as his rhythm guitarist :)
@@alfsmith4936 He always kept Chet motivated and "pushed" in a way.
And ole' Paul Yandell is Thumb-pickin' here - no flat picks allowed...

Tony M if you really wanna see it, just type in “bb king jerry reed” into UA-cam and a bunch of the songs they sang/played together pop up
Waouhh !! Surely the best tribute !!
Excelente, bom demais. maneco - Brasil.
Thank you Lord for UA-cam
I'm pretty sure that's Paul Yandell on electric guitar... for the bass and drums, I don't know...
Tribute to chuck Barry live
Сильнейшие музыканты в этом стиле супер
Thanks !
Big Jim & Jerry Reed
Boogeh Boogeh Boogehh!

Well rocks really a mix of country, blues and soul/gospel
@@adrianjames1940 blues soul and gospel come from traditional old world music, which is county
@@laksivrak2203 nope

@@laksivrak2203 my man you said soul music came from country music your comment did not merit an intelligent response.
What’s the drummers name? He killed it, he’s awesome
The great Late Larrie London.
@@JimmyWillis Thank you.

It’s a pity that Paul Yandell never did much as an artist besides backing some of the most remarkable guitarists .
@@chipperdave6833 he found his role and perfomred it remarkably. Nothing wrong with that imo
You're right, to an extent. He's not overplaying, but his volume level is way, way, way too hot. He should have realized this.
good stuff
Porter had one hell of a hair dew!!!
This is the real deal 5*
❤
Во лабают сильнейшие рок н рольщики супер
Wow
Jerry's not playing lead
Can anyone name the session guys? GEE-tarr, bass & drums?
Go Jerry, Go!
The guitarist is Paul Yandell I believe
I'll be back in just a minute after some bullying of Dolly Parton.
We used to call him the Nashville Vampire.
Fantastic! Who are his fellow musicians?
Look above
Hey dose anyone know what album this is off of
Great covers.But why don't he play th solos?
when you‘re hot, you‘re hot!
Why didn't Jerry play lead?
Это вообще законно так заряжать энергией? )
😁🚬👍

Porter Wagoner is a bum
Porter couldn't get the real Chuck?
3 of them to play chucks music they trying to rip off and make money off fkn disgrace!!@
Its a tribute dude. Lenny Kravtiz did a tribute to 'American Woman' by CCR.
Same but different.
Wow man this is a tribute from a country musician to a rock legend!
Chuck Berry got royalties as a songwriter for this. I'm sure he was happy. The only thing that's missing, IMHO, is a verbal acknowledgement.
@@BSE1320 that was the Guess Who, not CCR.
