He was one of the most talented artist to have ever lived! 25 number ones in his short time is crazy! I started listening to Eddie as a teenager in the late 70’s and was so saddened when he died. RIP, your music will last forever!
I hear you Larry, I am the age right now when eddie passed, 56 and as a teen i loved all of his music, especially rocky mountain music! Listen to his music everyday especially when driving my truck! RIP Eddie! :(
A sweet man, seems humble and yes, very handsome. Sad that he is gone. We all miss you Eddy. Hope you are busy on the other side sharing your talent!!!!
Amazing. Everything is so perfect!Musicianship, showmanship, audio recording and production.Easily far better than today's production value. This is real country music in raw feel yet so timeless. Hats off!
anirban747 to be honest I don't know if Eddie Rabbitt is in the Country Music Hall of Fame but he should be he is a freaking awesome singer I love them since I was like 8
Yes he was my favorite in the 70s for all his records of my wife of 40 years that I lost after cancer took her from me ,I married her at 17 and took him the same way , we lost a great artist .
Eddie born in brooklyn NY, raised in east orange NJ... Rough town these days! Here in Jersey City still loving his music! RIP Eddie! You are always the best, "I love a rainy night"
I listened to all kinds of country music not knowing who the singer was when I was in my youth and as far as I can remember I known him in the 1990's because of one particular song " ROOM AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS " and then the other popular one from the movie " EVERY WHICH WAY BUT LOOSE " and the rest of his songs follows. I love them all. I listened to them from time to time 😊
@@johnfoster4244 Don is an awesome Bass Player, vocalist, and a very nice guy. Jimmy Hyde, the drummer.. still actively plays in Branson , MO. Jimmy remains one of the very best, top notch drummers in Country Music and has played with many artists, but with Eddie the longest, up until Eddie's death.
was at this Concert with my ex husband… will Never forget it. And we were right in the front, wish could see us in this video, Lol You are Very Missed, Eddie 🌹
Wowo.... This was a great concert.... 48 minutes of straight playin' and singin' with no apparent breaks... Even when the fiddle player was on he could have taken a small break and no one would have thought bad of it.. but he stayed out there.... Now that's an entertainer.....
I saw him in concert probably not 2 years before he passed. He interacted with the crowd the entire show. Very humble and seemed like a genuinely "nice guy." RIP, Mr. Rabbitt. Gone, but a legacy that will certainly not be forgotten!
were did country music go....this is one of my idols....many people said i sing like him and have his voice idk....lol eddie we all love and miss you....wish you were here to straighten country music out today,it's went to the birds....
Eddie Rabbitt is one of those great artists that seems to have been swept under the rug by historians. He was a song writer for a long while prior to being a recording artist. His songs were straight forward, and he had a tight band. It was music that most people could just pick up and play if they know a bit of guitar.
25 #1 hits? That # doesn't sound right .. too high, unless they are including tunes he wrote for other artists who had a #1 hit with it/them. Even his "#1 Hits" compilation album released a few years ago had less than a dozen songs on it.
I performed there years ago when I was a guitarist for Sammy Kershaw. In the round. Several of my uncles and aunts from Merrick and East Meadow came to the show.
for someone to write music for earlier artist including Elvis Presleys Kentucky Rain eddie wrote that.....aint it amazing......he's the man with the plan if so many would follow him....Rip Eddie
A TRUE TRUE authentic talent! Whenever a singer sounds so great on stage especially with minimal sound amps, etc. and especially singing almost acapella you realize w/o a doubt Eddie Rabbitt is the real deal! So sweet how he interacts with the audience and makes sure to give them a great show despite the rainy downfall : ) Love him! Hope his family is doing well! He really loved them xo Andrea
I love listening to Eddie ....I remember seeing him at the county fair 1 yr dressed all in black & thinking dang he is a dang good looking man & still is
Wearing the wedding band on the right hand is a longtime European custom. Both parents were from Ireland, so, perhaps that was a family tradition. 🤔 Also, if he kept it on his right hand constantly, perhaps he did so for private physical reasons.🙂💕Sure do admire and respect him! 😀
For those who wanna know why there's no Jamboree in the hills this year (2019) according to Live Nation they said its due to low ticket sales & its also due to fans NOT being allowed to bring their own beer onto the grounds. Guess they want ya to pay for the beer when you attend the event. Live Nation went on to say one of the reasons behind the low ticket sales was due to the quality of entertainment or the lack there of. In short allow me to simplify this for ya} If Live Nation wants or expects fans to lay out their hard earned money for a 4 day music festival where you HAVE TO PAY FOR BEER & NOT BE ALLOWED TO BRING IN YOUR OWN, then Live Nation had best put on some decent shows with TOP NAMED TALENTS instead of only having a few big names being booked while the other 80% of the artist are garage bands at best. That's why there's no Jamboree in 2019. Fans grew pissed off at the LACK OF TALENTS BEING BOOKED & NOW LIVE NATION WANTS FANS TO PAY FOR THEIR OWN BEER TO WATCH THIS SHIT. Tell ya what, SAVE YOUR MONEY & JUST GO & LISTEN TO A BAR BAND AT THE LOCAL PUB. You'll get the same experience while you'll be saving a few hundred bucks. My solution is this} If Live Nation wants fans to PAY FOR THE BEER, Then here's a solution. The first TWO DAYS OF THE FESTIVAL if Live Nation wants to book a bunch of garage bands/bar bands, then fans will have the OPTION TO EITHER BRING IN THEIR OWN BEER OR BUY THE BEER AT THE EVENT. But on DAYS 3 & 4 OF THE FESTIVAL, have Live Nation BOOK BIG NAMED TALENTS ONLY & FANS WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE BEER ON THE GROUNDS & WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO BRING IN THEIR OWN. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT, Live Nation. IMO I think fans are getting tired of being screwed or ripped off with these kind of bookings. They want fans to pay up the ass for tickets for this event but all they wanna do is book 80% of no named talents & adding insult to injury NOW THEY WANT FANS TO PAY aka INVEST EVEN MORE MONEY JUST TO WATCH THIS CRAP. And I think THAT'S why ticket sales are down & attendance figures are down. In short, if Live Nation expects fans to show up & spend money, Live Nation had BEST GIVE THE FANS SOMETHING FOR THE MONEY INSTEAD OF FLOODING THE FESTIVAL WITH A BUNCH OF NO NAME TALENTS. You can't have it both ways Live Nation. And that's why there'll be no Jamboree in 2019 & to be honest, that's also why Live Nation will never get a dime from me. If that's how Live Nation wants to treat the fans, Live Nation can KISS MY ASS!!!
I went to the first two Jamboree in the Hills in 1977 and 1978 and so many big country music acts were there: Johnny Cash and June Carter, Tom T. Hall, Tammy Wynette, Ronnie Milsap, Charlie Rich, Barbara Mandrell - I am leaving many out.
@@mysticmaverick1 I here ya my friend! I use to read up on past acts from previous Jamboree In The Hills shows & the list of the many talents who performed read like a who's who of great talents. Waylon Jennings I think was at at least 1 show & there was Charlie Daniels & the list is just too long to read em all. But anymore, its just a garbage fest of no name talents mixed in with very few if any big named established talents. It's simply not worth the asking price. The wife & I will simply buy dvd concerts of our favorite acts & watch it that way, away from the drunks, away from all the traffic & away from all those ridiculous high prices. Plus, we'll have the best seats in the house, the sound quality will be better & we'll not have to pay for any food or drinks & best of all we won't have to walk a country mile just to use the crapper which dare I say at one of these Hills events the crappers are usually filthy as hell. Indoor dvd concerts ROCK!!! Now let Live Nation go & cut their teeth on that!
@@allancove4483 I was very young when I went to JITH, so I was able to tolerate the crowds. I went with a friend and we slept in tents, couldn't do that now! I remember it being really hot too. But most of all I remember the great music and am grateful I went when I did!
I don't think I have ever heard him perform Every Which Way But Loose in any of his concerts, even on that T.V. appearance where he does a medley of his #1 hits. Does he not own any rights in it?
He was diagnosed with lung cancer in 1997 and died in 1998 ☹️ So unless he was having some problems that we don’t know of then it’s safe to say that no.,,,he wasn’t sick here in 1992

Amazing. Everything is so perfect!Musicianship, showmanship, audio recording and production.Easily far better than today's production value. This is real country music in raw feel yet so timeless. Hats off!
Amen. I was in the mood for some good solid country and went looking for Eddie!!! The man could make REAL music.

Eddie Rabbitt & The Hare Trigger Band. What a Great Concert each and every time. Eddie Rabbitt ... Gone but not Forgotten...A True Legend. RIP Eddie.
Did he have any kids? You'd think if he had a son he would have followed in the music biz as well.
He had two sons and one daughter. The one son died at an early age.
I work in a retro R and B band with Don the bass player/background singer here in Nashville.
@@johnfoster4244 Don is an awesome Bass Player, vocalist, and a very nice guy. Jimmy Hyde, the drummer.. still actively plays in Branson , MO.

Like also how he spent so much time working in shaking hands with the fans .. You very rarely see that anymore during a concert ..
I saw him in concert probably not 2 years before he passed. He interacted with the crowd the entire show. Very humble and seemed like a genuinely "nice guy." RIP, Mr. Rabbitt. Gone, but a legacy that will certainly not be forgotten!
Worth the watch!! RIP EDDIE RABBIT!!

Eddie. .......'I still love you!
We all do
For generations to come.
hey, I much prefer this concert than the last few of Elvis concerts
Saw him several times at Westbury Music Fair on Long Island. He was great period. What a talent!
I performed there years ago when I was a guitarist for Sammy Kershaw. In the round. Several of my uncles and aunts from Merrick and East Meadow came to the show.
We lost him to soon !!!
great underrated singer
2022 still rocking !!!
Que tipazo Eddi Rabbitt! What a guy Eddie Rabbitt!
for someone to write music for earlier artist including Elvis Presleys Kentucky Rain eddie wrote that.....aint it amazing......he's the man with the plan if so many would follow him....Rip Eddie

Awesome love this man put in the hall of fame
Faithful to his wife, now THAT'S a real man! Not like these over-pumped up, work out kings who cheat left and right. Oh man...Eddie. So damn sexy.
You sure do have an interesting perspective
@@LouieMeekin You don't agree?
@@nahlabella4857 No, but as someone who was born into this culture, I’m kind of inundated to it.
Then you need to get a ife😢
FANTASTIC
I love eddie rabbit, Have missed him greatly
Wish I could've been to one of your concerts I love to hear you sing
You could tell he loved performing. RIP Eddie
I always loved that song of his
The Rabbitt..good memories..I was there.
I was there at the Jamboree. He is so memorable!! A great talent lost way too soon.
Dang I wish I could 😭 of been there. Cause they'll never be another like him. Damn he was the bomb
This was wonderful to watch. The very antithesis of bro-country.
correct. and ironically written by a guy who grew up in Jersey
Pure genius talent. Writer, singer, picker. RIP. Also, Clint Eastwood's highest grossing film Every which way but Loose, he recorded the song.
Actually, it was written by Steve Dorff, Snuff Garrett and Milton Brown. But Eddie wrote most of his songs.
@@3GPtv your right. I meant to say Eddie recorded the song. My error. Thanks
@@dr.know-it-all5148 No worries, it happens. :)
They should call that "the rainy night concert" .. !
HE WAS INDUCTED INTO NASHVILLE SONGWRITER HALL OF FAME, IN 2002
?
MISS THIS MAN GREAT PREFORMER, LOVE HIS SONG
NEVER FORGOT, HIS ROOTS
his roots? He was born and raised in New York City.
Damn, I miss this guy
He was hamsome in person when i seen him to and well friendly tall nice looking to
He is a legend ❤

Great singer n songwriter. So sad he’s gone but never be forgotten. Wondering y he wore his wedding band on his right hand n not left

I don't think I have ever heard him perform Every Which Way But Loose in any of his concerts, even on that T.V. appearance where he does a medley of his #1 hits. Does he not own any rights in it?
There's recordings out there of him doing it live.
see bill rehrig at 31 mins. orange blossom special [special] toe tapper arrangement! stay tuned~ kenx
I was in my prime , lol . Saw Eddie at Charlestown WV race track . I was around 16 i think . Hard to believe so many yrs ago . :(
Great video also !
Was he sick whith cancer at the time ?
He was diagnosed with lung cancer in 1997 and died in 1998 ☹️
So unless he was having some problems that we don’t know of then it’s safe to say that no.,,,he wasn’t sick here in 1992
james stroud 🥁
Even in this concert he redid someone else’s song. The Wanderer was originally Dion’s
Is there a set list.
JAMBO
Did he sing American Boy in this concert?
Anyone know who the bass player is,
How many singers do you hear that sound the same live as on the recordings? None except for Eddie rabbit.
