Charlie was rapping country music in the 70's.. and doing it well. Playing that fiddle like nobody's business. RIP Charlie Daniels.

Welcome to 1979, Charlie Daniels is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame. This song is still played on both classic country and classic rock radio stations. Charlie Daniels passed away in 2020, and until Covid shut everything down was still touring. This was back when you go to a concert and got your money's worth. They are ones who wrote this and other songs.

The song, the Charlie Daniels Band & the late Charlie Daniels are legendary. No autotune - no backing tracks, no lip-synching. That's one of the big pluses with country & acapella singers/bands - what you see is what you get. What you heard on a studio video is what you're gonna hear live. Thanks for playing this & your comments.

This 90+ minute concert. And YES, they played their own instruments. Charlie was the fiddle man

This is the second young person that has been surprised to find out that people can play instruments themselves.

They were the headliners. They probably played for a couple of hours. Charlie had a few hits. My favorites are Uneasy Rider, the South's Gonna Do It Again (about music not the civil war) and Long Haired Country Boy. Charlie wrote the song with a little help.

Fantastic song....the words tell such a great story 😎 Charlie Daniels was a country beast ❣️ RIP CHARLIE 🙏🙏🙏

The song a hit it crossed color lines .

Nothing better in country music to me as a Steel Guitar and a Fiddle. True country sound.. In today's country music.. more ppl looking like you .. but in 1977 when I think this was recorded.. not so much.. you weren't alive yet. I was 10.. Thankfully thing have changed but good music is still good music

I seen them in 1989 in Hahn Germany front row seats and got Charlie's autograph on my T-shirt. What a concert 👍

That’s what real music was…real people singing, writing, and playin their own instruments no auto tune…or rap crap! 🤷🏻‍♂️🤠👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😂👏

There's a sequel to this song called "The Devil Went Back To Georgia featuring The late Johnny Cash,Marty Stuart, Travis Tritt & Mark O'CONNOR .

I lived in Mt. Juliet, just outside of Nashville. Charlie lived on a ranch there until he died. I met him at an awards show i worked when i lived in Nashville and shook the hand that played that fiddle! He was a super nice guy and a patriot until he died.

Born in Wilmington NC in 1938

The devil tempted him. He won. Controversially.

Charlie Daniels was one of the greats. Before he formed his own band, Daniels played with Bob Dylan on several albums perhaps most famously on Nashville Skyline. The lyrics of this song are informative for someone new to bluegrass. "Fire on the Mountain (run boys run)" "Devil's in the House of the Rising Sun" "Chicken in the bread pan picking out dough" "Granny does your dog bite? No child no." Are all classic bluegrass fiddle riffs. So Daniels is beating the Devil with the country music.

Charlie sings what he believes hes very talented man RIP charlie listen to simple man

3:59..I'm a keyboardist ( 500 shows before I retired) and I'll tell you we do most of our melody and riffs with our right hand. . By the time of this show, you can bet Charlie and Co. had played/rehearsed this song at least 100 times and could've did it in thier sleep onstage. Big 1 # crossover hit for him ,even FM rock stations had it on heavy rotation. And I bet that Devil's still sore from the azz- whippin' Johnny gave him.

50 years ago this was how it was done.

He just passed away not long ago. You should do his live performance of How Great Tho Art at some church.

1: Why were you surprised they were playing in such a large and packed arena? The Charlie Daniels Band were true stars. 2: "yo, he's playing that himself!" Of course Charlie Daniels was playing his fiddle himself. What you watched is from the era where musicians/bands needed talent .. actual talent .. real talent. They didn't, and couldn't, rely on canned sampled crap and auto tune. They had to do it themselves, and they did it a damn better than anyone today is making 'fake music.' -- Also, if you delve deep enough into music from The Golden Era of Rock you will find that MANY modern songs sample MANY, MANY songs from The Golden Era of Rock. If not for musicians, bands, artists of that era much of what's been released in the 90s and 2000s either wouldn't have existed or it would have sucked even more than it did/does because the 'fake' musicians, bands, artists' wouldn't have had a massive reserve of pure talent from the past to draw from.

Late to the party, but I made it!! New Sub!! He and I are from the swamps of Southeastern NC. Amazing storyteller!! Two other songs that you would enjoy from him: "Long Haired Country Boy" and " Legend of Wooley Swamp".

Band was based outta Tennessee, i believe. Thats where most of the original band members were from. I know thats where Charlie Daniels was from. You need to check out Uneasy Rider, dude. Great content. Thank ya.

Dude on keys playing with his off hand!

If you enjoy the way Charlie spits on this song, do yourself a favor and check out their song “Everytime I See Him”. I’m surprised hardly anyone has reacted to it. Big ups!

If you need more, try “The Legend Of Wooly Swamp”, or “Uneasy Rider”. Both are great story telling songs by the Charlie Daniels Band. ✌🏼😎🇺🇸

My country jam!

Back in the 80s, finding a person of color who was a country music fan was like finding a four-leaf clover.

I saw one black guy in the front row.Good for him....how did he get the front row?😂

The CDB ( Charlie Daniels Band ) was a " Country " group in the 70's and 80's ; maybe even late 60's - even though they were { Labeled as } country ; Country , Southern Rock , and a few other music genres were put together to make up the sound. I would suggest you at least listen to -The Devil Comes Back To Georgia - I originaly found it on an album by Mark O'Connor called - Hero's-.

That's a funny looking guitar 🎸.

.ove your rction.😊😊😊😊😊

Charlie daniels the fiddle man true patriot

You should hear the way David Allen Coe did this song. Its the same music but the devil instead of going to Georgia goes to Jamaica.

Original RAP.

Southern Rock

Great reaction again.. Do some Bob Dylan .

Yes...back in the day, musicians played their own instruments, didn't have things like autotune, et al. They had to be truly talented. Unfortunately, that's not the case now. In addition, live shows used to be an absolute blast to go to....and tickets were usually around $15-$20. I'm shocked at ticket prices nowadays and don't understand how anyone can afford to see a live show. Charlie Daniels (RIP) was from North Carolina.

AKA Country Rap, Pzo.

Check out some Merle Haggard or George Jones. You will cry.

Dude. They were playing this before you were born 😂.

New subscriber. You should listen to devil went down to Jamaica

Wooley swamp are long haired country boy

I loved Charlie daniels but as far as fiddle playing , Doug Kershaw would have run charlie daniels under the table any day of the week. Doug Kershaw played with such passion the strings would smoke.

saw Charlie Daniels Band in 1975. great show. unfortunately a few years later he turned all right wing.

Please don't talk over the artists that bring ones to your site...respect.

thats not a guitar my boi

Charlie was a racist. Not meaning to piss on his name but he was a Trump supporter and have said many bigoted and racist things. Just google it. Love the song though. Always have.

Dude would u just shut up and let the video play😢
