  Jerry and Chet as great as ever but also kudos to that kid on the harmonica.

  Just a joy to watch talent like this when accompanied by the wisdom to not take itself too seriously.

  It’s fun to be able to see these great men just fooling around and then break into incredible music without a hitch

  Chet was at his peak and Jerry was already sick. But the show must go on and it did. God Bless them both!!

  Jerry Reed...........what's not to like.  A good ole boy's good ole boy.  RIP Jerry.   And Chet's no slouch either.

  Jerry was one of the best. It's great that he was here with Chet. Just great.

  I bet Bob was super pleased when he heard this version of a song he wrote inspired by folks like these two making music from their homelands.

  Two of the best ever.  Jerry Reed used to win world guitar playing competitions where he'd practice 8+ hours per day for months prior.

  I believe Chet saying Jerry was better than him. The best finger picker to ever live. RIP Jerry

  My older brother Don got to be good friends with session guitarist James Burton and James told the story of being in the studio with Jerry Reed one time and the Jerry chased James out into the parking lot and put him in a headlock and told him that he couldn't leave until he showed him how James did that guitar lick the Jerry really liked.

  From the back of the theatre comes a low gravely voice that says “it ain’t got no gas in it!” To which Jerry and Chet reply “thank you Carl, you’re absolutely right!” 😄😉<br>Wish I could have seen these two legends live, but very grateful they live on through this outlet.
