Does anybody else keep on coming back to this treasure? Probably about 20 times now for me.

I don’t miss drinking, but I do miss nights like these

“It’s a purely selfish gesture. You don’t know how good you play.” Coming from one of the best poets of that generation. Guy and that entire group probably scrapped better songs than most of Nashville takes to the air.

Crazy. We're listening to a song first recorded in 1945, played here in 1975, in 2020.

Who's here at the end of 2020 wishing it was still this simple?

Smoking and drinking at the kitchen table Christmas Day. Reminds me of when my family was still alive. Miss them days.

what people did before the internet

Guy Clarke is absolutely blasted and it's priceless. Even rip roaringly sauced, he has more talent and ability than I'd ever dream of having. What an all star line-up.

The 70’s were so awesome.

It’s a sheer miracle that Steve Earl survived, and thank goodness he did.

That would be the worst Christmas morning ever. But the best Christmas Eve ever.

This is amazing. Great to see these folks making memories from Christmas Eve 1975. I just found this video after doing a Rodney Crowell search. The thread below helped identify the musicians. Here they all are in one place: Far left playing the lead guitar is Billy Callery who later wrote Willie Nelson's "Hands on the Wheel" , a song that was on the legendary Redheaded Stranger album. Next to him is a very young Steve Earle playing and singing most of this song. The guy with the cigarette is the late Richard Dobson. Next to him is Rodney Crowell. Beside him is Susanna Clark and her husband Guy Clark. Both are now gone. The dobro player is Jim McGuire whose main thing was photography. What a lineup.

Man, this video is like a direct memory jack to my childhood. The clothes, the wall paneling, the people enjoying each others company, feels like i'm watching my own family.

For those of us who have only a vague sense of where music comes from, it's good to see some in its natural habitat.

Man, this looks like a little slice of heaven!

It never gets old, but we sure do.

This is a treasure that should never, ever be destroyed or overlooked.

Guy Clark's face when he says 'it was a purely selfish gesture' and the thigh smack by the other musician. Love it

I could watch hours of content like this. This might be my favorite video on KZfaq.

Man, hearing Guy Clark totally fangirling over Steve is the best part of the whole video lol

When I was 15 I hung out with Rodney at his mom's house. When he found out I was an aspiring songwriter he asked me to play him one. After I was done he told me he didn't like my song but he gave me the best advice about the craft I ever got. He told me to write about what I know. Later he said he didn't mean to hurt my feelings. I asked him how many 15 year kids get advice from a songwriter with his credentials. I told him I could not have been more pleased with what he told me. He is still my songwriting hero 21 years later.

I saw Steve Earle live. He opened for Warren Zevon in NYC in the winter of 1987 at Roseland. He was an energetic ball.of fire..

I love watching Rodney Crowell's face.....could there be a happier guy anywhere on earth at that moment? lol

I always thought i was born in the wrong era. Now i am convinced! Simpler times my friend.

We used to have guitar get-togethers like this when I was in my late teens and early 20's. Sat around a table, strong drinks and fresh weed. The Band was everyone's favourite to play. Some of the best memories of my life. Got a couple kids and a wife now so it doesn't fly but once in a while, things get fired up.

I've never seen Steve Earle this young. I was late to the party. He reminds me of Gram Parsons here. Totally commited and passionate about Country music. ❤❤❤

Ole' Steve Earle was like man this Heroin is kicking in!

Steve Earle has always rocked my world.

It's very interesting to see a young Rodney Crowell and Steve Earle learning the songwriting craft from the older guys. I love The Houston Kid and a lot of Steve Earle stuff.

Somebody roll a joint already....!

Chinaberry Sidewalks by Rodney Crowell. Excellent book, a must read and pass along. Thank you Rodney.

My dad hung out with these guys around Lubbock whenever they'd play through. Great music.

This is my first time seeing this. What I would do to sit down with a Marlboro ,shot of Jack and a miller lite with this group? Hellava time!

R.I.P., Guy. With Susanna again.

Ill never stop listening to steve. Awesome.

Shit let’s all get drunk and make history Right

Just now realizing that Justin Townes Earle was the spitting image of Steve.

It can be this simple still. Nobody is stopping you from doing this.

They couldn't pass a field sobriety test but could play and sing perfect

I almost forgot how fine Live used to be before this damn pandemic. Bring those Nights back.

Damn, Steve Earle must have been born singing and writing great songs. I don't think he knows how to play a bad one.

Watching Christmas Eve 2020. 🇬🇧❤️

Looking at Steve here and knowing his story...that man's earned everything he's got. Such talent even at a young age.

I would have given ANYTHING to be at that table or even in the room. So many of my music heroes. I had the good fortune to meet most of them over the years.

Love all the packs of smokes on the table, looks like a 75' Christmas

It's also cool that Susanna Clark's painting, The Bouncing Apple, is on the wall. The one for which Townes bought her white paint with some of his royalty money 🙂

My God--look how YOUNG they are! What a treat!

I've been coming back to this one for several years now. I didn't know about Rodney until we were grown ups, but I lived in Houston until 1967.

Good wine, women, guitars and song. This is what it is to be alive and free and how to do it. Wonderful!!

I remember times like this. I loved them tons. My parents were country and western musicians and when itr was down time,they'd pick up a guitar and start a Jam Session like this one. But it usuallt lasted clean till dawn. XD

Steve that was the best song you could have brought up at that time in need. Your my fav.

Man that was some killer footage of these guys doing what they love doing ain’t it? Awesome 👏

I met Steve and his son Justin back in the 80s. They came to our record shop in West Nashville. He's been a friend every since. Once Steve saved me a seat on the first row at the Bluebird Cafe. The line up, Steve, Guy Clark and Townes Van Zant. I knew I was experiencing history that night.

Insane to see so much talent in one room and a shame most will only know Steve Earle.

Christmas eve of 75 I was still in middle school/ Jr High . Christmas eve of 78 I spent in a pool hall with some friends....Things change really fast .

AWESOME for sure. Wish I had friends...DAM it man

Reminds me of my early childhood, when my parents still had their wild friends over, and played music over cigarettes and drinks (and other stuff that was brought out after I went to bed, I’m sure).

Love seeing the mirror with coke on it & a line next to Steve

Love this . I miss to many things and people's

Life was simpler back then. It was all about booze, cigarettes, and music. I love seeing the late great Richard J. Dobson sitting between Steve Earl and Rodney Crowell!

The person makes the times not the other way around. Dont ever let a spirit like this leave you.

Fricken awesome. Ah the good old days🤓👍

Music to my ears! Rocking this tonight, Loudly. I'm gonna Stay a little longer and play this song a dozen more times.... Beautiful. The Harvest Angel Adam

I couldn't play enough of Steve and Rodney's music at W.E.G.N 93.3 Evergreen,Al in the summer of 1985. It was my 1st radio gig and I was 18 yrs old and fresh out of high school from Akron, Oh. For the next 23 years their music became part of every on-air shift I did. They influenced more musicians than most people are aware of and they became, in my opinion, the next wave of "Outlaw Country". Today there are those who fit that title among they're piers and fans but most are struggling to fill those big shoes.

This kind of stuff still happens on a regular basis where I live! Kitchen parties, shed parties, cabin parties! Friends and family getting together and jamming out and singing along to their favorite songs!

Guy Clark and Rodney together back then, I only discovered them a few years ago. Kind of glad I came home to Tennessee in time to meet Guy and get to know both of them in retro... like this. They look and sound just like I imagined they would back then. I was the same age as Rodney in 1975...I have heard more live music in the past couple of years--than the rest of my life combined. Sure heard a lot of country music on the radio before I went to work and had a family of my own up in Connecticut. Retiring here in Tennessee has been a blessing. I finally found my way to Nashville...

This video gives me nostalgia for a time I never existed and a place I’ve never visited. That’s some good stuff.

Bottle of booze pack of Winston's jamming with friends 👏👏 good to see Steve and Rod still jamming 👏👏

Such sad news to think of Guy being gone. I always like to think of him as in this clip (one of my favourite music moments) boogying and enjoying life with his wife and friends. Blessings Guy. God willing he's with Susanna again. Something tells me that Townes would try to step up so... the reunion might've been interesting.

This makes me crave a good old get together jam session... ( sighs ) Hopefully this year we can get back together Just like this merry bunch. Take care

Lord to go back just for a little bit.. good friends good eats heal the soul ... I do miss it..

PBR, Miller Lite, a bottle of Jack, a couple jugs of Carlo Rossi and some Winstons. Oh... and some fine knee slapping music. Perfection.

This is a piece of history and an awesome clip, I wish I was there. As Tony The Tiger said, "This is grrrrrreat!" And he was right

Rodney Crowell is a fantastic songwriter. I don't think he write this, but he has written alot of great songs. He may be the most overlooked & underrated person in Country music history.

Rodney and they high end harmony. God damn this is such an important document of music history!!!!!

lovely wish the music was still like this today

This was my living room on friday night as a kid. Man i miss that. My dad and mom and uncles all played and sang.

2.1.18 friends sitting around a table partying and having a good time. Huge amount of Talent there. Every generation has its time this was mine 1975.

This wakes me up on Saturday morning. Cool picking, singing. These are my kind of people.

Now that right there is GOLD

love these old clips of everyone

if i could go back in time, any time any place in history, it would be right in that room for that night, this "Christmas eav 1975 at guy clarks house" video is the coolest thing i have ever seen. must have watch it a hundred times already

This night was magical all over the world.

I hope we all see another Christmas eve !

In case anyone´s wondering that is Richard Dobson in the background. His songs are worth checking out too.

Love it!!!!!!!!!! A lot of talent sitting right there back when music meant something! Would've given anything to be there! PRICELESS!!!

My home town is having one of the biggest country music festivals around right now, but nothing compares to this! Reminds me of my youth jams around a fire not a care to be had but enjoying the freedom.

Great video

If the vibes not like this, don’t invite me.

musicians magicians honing their craft.

this is how I grew up. my parents and family played music, drank and smoked. it was FANTASTIC! 💜

That's a great documentary.

atleast 3 grammy winners at that table, crazy

Look how young they are? Steve is so skinny. So nostalgic.

❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing Absolutely Beautimous

Moves my soul , this will make you stomp your feet I don't know what will

One of my favorite docs .. so real ,the director not only did a good job capturing the music , but also the vibe of that town and its people so well ... its just a great slice of Americana - made me kinda wanna move to clarkesville lol

It's really good to see these guys at such a young age, but I can only listen to this once every couple of years. It's sure not the best version of Stay All Night we've ever heard, but the fun they're having is contagious.

I fell in love with Steve Earle and guy Clarke Dobson as well many others ! How I would give to b in that music icons !!!! Love's all ! 2021 is here y'all

Greatest thing on the KZfaq. And I've watched it all
