I was at this show. It was in 1980 at the Opry House, & it was called "A Tribute to Chet Atkins". It was a gig thrown by his friends, & the tickets cost $50.00 each, a fortune back then. I was the biggest Chet fan ever, & a lady where i worked gave me 2 tickets 4 free. I thought I'd died & gone 2 heaven that night. almost everybody was there but Jerry, & he sent a video (or audio, I don't recall) of himself that they played for Chet to hear.
I've been to a lot of shows and one of the finest was seeing Chet Atkins solo in a little tiny venue called the Warner in Fresno California . He sat on a stool with a guitar and played for almost 2 hours straight , talking to the crowd smiling and laughing and just having a good time. What a sweet memory.
This thing here is called music and will remain this good as long there are ears on planet earth that can tell between music and what is thought to be music.
I remember seeing this as a kid. Those pauses. Comments notwithstanding, the conductor understood and rehearsed his band well. So great to see this again - it was a vivid memory. Thanks.
When this aired I was in front of the tv with a tape recorder and at 2:20 it was hard to keep quiet , but I'm glad I did ,'cause this was the best duet that will ever be.
You Tube is an amazing thing, Long may it live. Performances like this are forever and Guitar does not get better than this. Like Kayem11 says. This is music. It will stir the souls of people a hundred years from now,.
Saw Earl Klugh give a free concert at the DAR Constitution Hall in Washington DC around 1995. It was just before the release of his aptly named "Sudden Burst of Energy" album. A night to remember.
OMG. First time I heard them I was 17 with my guitar teacher sitting on the end of his chair...riveted! I'll always love this type of music he introduced me too! It's just the pure subtlety, it's so underrated yet every great duo or group or even just an individual knows when to play and when not, maybe even more important on this type of setting!
Earl and the Godfather of the guitar. Never was anyone before him and never will be anyone like him. Chet was Mr. Guitar. Been listening to him ever since I came to this country in '58 and he makes the music float like a big beautiful bird. As long as we have his music we will have Chet.
At exactly 3:00 Chet misses one and drops his left hand, shakes his head just a little and keeps right on playing. What a great talent he was. And what a treat to hear he and Klugh together. I'm going on vacation today. Someone please call me when rap is over or if music ever comes back to being this good.
So very, very sorry to say that I will not be calling you because rap ain't over. Dang! By the way, when country has rap added to it, it becomes "crap."
So beautiful ....passin da baton from one GOAT to another GOAT. Funny how Music allows us to look pass our differences, jus play somethin that opens your heart!
Thanks you for posting this again. Hope they don't keep deleting this awesome classic. A longer version of this song by Earl Klugh, not the video, is available on Earl Klugh cd Best of Earl Klugh Vol 2. Once you listen to it, you're going to fall in love all over again.
thanks for the repost i have loved this since the first time i saw it. i have learned so much from it. 2 truly gifted musicians. hard work and countless hours of dedication and practice. maybe i can one day be of a similar quality
Earl Klugh has got to be one of the most lyrical players I've ever heard ... his style transcends boundaries ... but hearing him in this duet with Chet kind of brings it home for me. Now of course Chet is no longer with us, but Earl carries on quite well. This was a vintage performance.
love chet dueting with mark knopfler here is one of my favs earl klugh i used to play the classical style guitar starting out and do some charlie byrd etc and earl klugh covers then went to electric did some stevie ray etc but went back to acoustic when i realized the muic i could sing was for the acoustic
And to think Earl klugh used to be a kid who would fake sick and stay home from school if he knew Chet Atkins was going to be on a daytime talk show, and here he was on TV playing with Chet Atkins. Luckily it was in Primetime this aired I believe, plus Earl was no longer in school so he didn't have to fake sick to see it 🤣
When I stopped watching top ten lists on UA-cam. Had one for greatest innovators on the guitars Had all the usual. Ritchie Blackmore,Eddie VanHalen Even Roy Clark all three tremendous players came to the end and didn’t have Chet or Les Paul.I was done no more top tens.
Hey dad, I remember in the middle seventies when you told me about 2 guys. Chett Atkins and another young man that was so fantastic Earl Klug. Hey dad you've been gone a while now but it just confirms this warm Spring evening... that you had one of the greatest tastes in music I ever heard and it brought me to the side of the road because you're not supposed to cry and try to drive too. I miss you tonight dad.. I remember when I 1st realized that you were not Superman, you were just a really good man and you were so far ahead of your time when he came to music . I thank you for that. I'll see you soon dad ,give mom a kiss.I love you and I still love hearing good time Charlie's got the blues acoustically.with 2 of the greatest.Chett Adkins and Earl Klugh.In a word, wow!!!💖
Thanks for posting this again, this version beats the other one hands down, what about that run of old Chet at 2:25! Both of them are playing like it's effort less. It gets no better than these two.
At 2:59 Chet misses the last note of his run. A right hand finger misses it. Its vibrato watch his finger but theres no sound). He drops his hand and shakes his head but the pro that he is he just goes on. At 3:11 they look at each other and seem to laugh about it. All Class. God- Let us have Chet back and we will give you Justin Beiber and Lady Gaga.
Earl Klugh хорошо играет на 6-сти струнке. Чет Аткенс тоже круто, но Klugh всетаки мне больше нравится. И вообще уважаю его искусство. Клуг в совершенстве владеет акустической шестиструнной гитарой.
The original recording of Chet and Earl doing this song was on Earl Klughs' fourth studio album released in 1978 entitled "Magic In Your Eyes". Chet is featured on this song and in the liner notes Earl tells of Chet being one of his main influences. This was one of the first albums I ever bought when I was 17 years old and is still one of my all-time favorite albums, period.
I totally agree, the horn arrangement is goofy and totally unnecessary. The price of dealing with producers and contract arrangers who are looking to make a splash on TV. Let a great song and great musicians tell their own story. Dang...
Sometimes you don't need a word from anyone. What you need is this kind of music.
I was at this show. It was in 1980 at the Opry House, & it was called "A Tribute to Chet Atkins". It was a gig thrown by his friends, & the tickets cost $50.00 each, a fortune back then.

About as good as it gets
...Brave....
The 70/80’s had the best of all music!
Exactly
Chet was happy here. He liked Earl. Lots of mutual respect here. Love it too.
I miss the songs of the 70’s. This is a great song and I love this❤
I've been to a lot of shows and one of the finest was seeing Chet Atkins solo in a little tiny venue called the Warner in Fresno California .
He sat on a stool with a guitar and played for almost 2 hours straight , talking to the crowd smiling and laughing and just having a good time.
What a sweet memory.
Thats really cool
Incredible. Danny O’Keefe lived a wonderful life with this one song. It’s been recorded dozens of times. That’s called a retirement song.
Such a Tender and Delightful peice of musicality.
That song is better today,,,than yesteryear. ....🎵😎🍺
Always amazes me how many guitarist say " Chet started it all for them " he was for me and i still play everyday for the last 50 years .
No matter who Chet Atkins played guitar with - magic was always created.
若い頃FMでとあるDJがやっていた番組でこの曲が流れてて、何も知らない私は懐かしさと親近感を覚えました。今聞いてても色褪せる事はなく鮮やかに甦ります。
This is really a great song. The kind that reminds you of best things lived.
Yes Benjamin, a lot of life has already been lived. Feeling this at 61. Finally starting to feel at peace with it.
This thing here is called music and will remain this good as long there are ears on planet earth that can tell between music and what is thought to be music.
Love this song. Two greats at their best.
No Words.. absolutely..NO WORDS.💓💓💓💓
No words needed
I remember watching this for the first time in my youth, and my Guitar Teacher sitting at the end of his seat, so EXICITED!!! Wonderful memory!
I remember seeing this as a kid. Those pauses. Comments notwithstanding, the conductor understood and rehearsed
his band well. So great to see this again - it was a vivid memory. Thanks.
Good ol' songs never cease to amaze me.
When this aired I was in front of the tv with a tape recorder and at 2:20 it was hard to keep quiet , but I'm glad I did ,'cause this was the best duet that will ever be.
simply beautiful
They make it sound sooo good and look sooo easy
1980年代にマクセルUDとこのコマーシャルでの番組を思わず思い出して懐かしいわ。ラジオ番組だったかしら？
なつかしい！
The shadow of Danny O'Keefe's voice I can hear in this - but his voice can not be replaced.
You Tube is an amazing thing, Long may it live. Performances like this are forever and Guitar does not get better than this. Like Kayem11 says. This is music. It will stir the souls of people a hundred years from now,.

OMG.........Magnificent!
What nice performance by two of my favorites!
Listening 8/21/2020 to Earl Klugh and Mr.Chet Atkins R.I.P. my third favorite GEorge Benson.
Even the Godfather makes a slip. At 2:45 he misses a note. He gives a bit of a chuckle, and moves on to make his wonderful music.
That's some beautiful music.
Earl and chet are my heroes.FOREVER!
wow! what a great version of a great song!
boy that blues scale can fit anywhere and so so in place when used sparingly!!
Two Greats a jammin' What a Treasure. Thanks so much for posting.
That is simply beautiful
Thanks so much for posting this. I was blessed to see a Chet Atkins concert in 1990 and that is one of my life's fondest memories.
Something deeply in my heart ...
Earl and the Godfather of the guitar. Never was anyone before him and never will be anyone like him. Chet was Mr. Guitar. Been listening to him ever since I came to this country in '58 and he makes the music float like a big beautiful bird. As long as we have his music we will have Chet.

I'm going on vacation today. Someone please call me when rap is over or if music ever comes back to being this good.
A great guitar player in any genre. If you haven’t yet, listen Chester & Lester with Les Paul.
So very, very sorry to say that I will not be calling you because rap ain't over. Dang!
By the way, when country has rap added to it, it becomes "crap."
So beautiful ....passin da baton from one GOAT to another GOAT. Funny how Music allows us to look pass our differences, jus play somethin that opens your heart!
This is beautiful. Whod have thought of this collaboration.
Wow, lovely song

We are so grateful to you, Ariff, for getting this back on UA-cam! One of the best covers of DOk's classic hit. To be forever treasured.
Welcome. Thank god for the internet too.
That's just beautiful.
Chet Atkins was the reason why Earl started to play guitar.

Thanks so very much....

I especially like the way Earl can play and interpret the melody most beautifully.
beautiful.
beautiful song
WOW!❣
Mestre Chet, eu tenho um violão Del Vecchio Dinâmico 1950. Instrumento maravilhoso, mas um som deste é difícil de tirar.
Thanks for the video. It is good that some bandits not impede the free viewing of historical and cultural movies
Thank you very much for posting this video.
Thanks... it's wonderful... Chet's Del Vecchio never sounded better and Earl's got his best touch on the Classical guitar 👍👍
If memory serves me correctly, Danny O'keefe was the first to record this.....
I believe Danny O'Keefe wrote and recorded it in '72.
love chet dueting with mark knopfler here is one of my favs earl klugh i used to play the classical style guitar starting out and do some charlie byrd etc and earl klugh covers then went to electric did some stevie ray etc but went back to acoustic when i realized the muic i could sing was for the acoustic

É um violão Del Vecchio!
1:48.... face of joy :)
ARIFFBAH; You are a jewel.
Wow
Just needs Waylon and it would be more complete. Two masters.
Earl Klugh хорошо играет на 6-сти струнке. Чет Аткенс тоже круто, но Klugh всетаки мне больше нравится. И вообще уважаю его искусство. Клуг в совершенстве владеет акустической шестиструнной гитарой.
i did dire straits but could only copy exactly lol found i could sing and i made it!!!!!!!!!
Does anyone know if this is the 1980 version of this song released during a special for Chet ?
The original recording of Chet and Earl doing this song was on Earl Klughs' fourth studio album released in 1978 entitled "Magic In Your Eyes". Chet is featured on this song and in the liner notes Earl tells of Chet being one of his main influences. This was one of the first albums I ever bought when I was 17 years old and is still one of my all-time favorite albums, period.
Klugh
Why don't you play it all the way through I miss most of the song
Get rid of all the background horns and strings and let the two men play. Then we would have art instead of this damn network production.
I totally agree, the horn arrangement is goofy and totally unnecessary. The price of dealing with producers and contract arrangers who are looking to make a splash on TV. Let a great song and great musicians tell their own story. Dang...
LOL. I wanted to reply, but accidentally pressed remove to your more recent comment. Either way, see you in 6 months. :)
its around 235 that chet throws it in
日本語で何て言う曲名ですか？
Hey Shellnut What do you know how to play besides the hand organ?
chet throws in some fierceblues this takes an obviois lating feel or like a jj cale thing
