And this was the beginning of a show!!

Back when these country award shows featured SO much talent! This song brings back a lot of good memories for me, as well.

Without a doubt the best musicians this world has ever seen…👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

WOW!!!! That's a whole boatload of talent right there!!!!

Now that's how you open an awards show.

Some of the finest musicians in this planet

Man, you could strand me on a deserted island with this one any old time. The recording of this on Mark O'Connors album is really a mindblower.

Brutal!

I remember watching this live on whichever awards show it was. Heavy sigh. Will we ever have music this real, ever again ?

WOW. Monroe, Scruggs, Perkins, etc. so much great talent on one stage. Wish we would see more of this in Nashville these days

Albert Lee too... wow!

This is one of the finest county bands of all time . Absolutely savage

Can you imagine the rehearsals?? How 'bout hanging out in the green room .... the HISTORY!

That’s incredible!

Oh My Goodness, they all look so young. We WERE all so young. Time, Time, Time!! Carl Perkins is gone, these guys are all 50 or more now and the guys who were their heroes are mostly gone.

If ever there was a major league all star lineup in music, this is it!

just found one better than the other Restless...THIS is THE BOMB

I've been looking for this video for quite some time now & all I want to say to whoever posted this video is "THANK YOU."

RIP Bill, Carl and Earl.

WOW!

I wasn't looking for it, but had a tape of possibly this performance, and never before SAW it captured on video. I can't get enough of this particular number and some others as well - don't know if it's out here, I have to look, but Sally Ann is a very haunting traditional tune. Mark O'Connor may be the best ever at what he does - at least the best since I've been paying attention.

This is such an amazing video - I don't know of a better one, anywhere. Maybe the most picking talent ever assembled on one stage?

@brib2brib2 Had the great pleasure of catching this gig a few years back when visiting Nashville. Wonderful evening. guitar and steel playing out of this world- and I'm a piano player.

wow!!!!

Holy Smack!! Everybody's on this vid!! Why wasn't I invited??

Gets no better than this....if only I could download the music: don't need the video but oh, I'd really like to have the music.

holy shit that’s almost every amazing player on one stage!

Speaking for myself the best part was Carl Perkins being part of this bit.

NOBODY puts Albert Lee to shame. Nobody - not Brent. Only one man was in this category - Danny Gatton who put EVERYBODY to shame. It's funny on some videos to see Albert making Eric Clapton look like he's a beginner.

You just don’t see pickers like this today !

Download a program called Audacity (and some others do this as well) and hit the "record" button, then start the video - you'll have just the audio left over and you can save it in any one of several formats.

Mark at 3.24!

@capitalismforever To tell you the truth this was from the 25th annual CMA Awards show in 1991 & the first president Bush was in attendence along with his wife Barbara.

James Burton's missing. And of course, Danny Gatton. Maybe my bud Arlen Roth would have fit in also.

Andy Wood sent me

I Agree Brent Mason is one hell of a Player and he could put a lot of Guitar Players to shame but Vince Gill and Albert Lee isn't in that category.

They're all playing Telecasters

@moppy4G Here you go ..Just copy/paste in the dialog bar and download/save after converting from the online server; no installing or anything. stay Tuned ! Google for: "flv2mp3 online" First hit on the list
