[NotJustMusic106]

whats the song called at 4:07 by Bo Diddly?

[MrSmiley1964]

@NotJustMusic106 that's "Who Do You Love" it's a shame that most people identify it it as a George Thourogood song

[FlaminL]

What's the song that begins at 3:10 ? And did he say Buck Owens and ...?

[boxershiner]

@FlaminL Buck Owens and the Buckaroos, Merle Travis

[drjohncarter1962]

I saw Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen at Knebworth in 1979 on the same bill as Led Zeppelin complete with Bill Kirchen, possibly the most underrated guitarist in the world?

[drunkendJesus]

What is the song at 3:57 .... he said the artist, but I can't make it out. It's driving me crazy!

[swiftarrow22]

[counciousstream]

How can you watch this and not smile?

[lighteningboy]

What is this guy, 8 feet tall? Makes that Tele look like a Les Paul!

[LopanTheLemming]

This may be one of the best guitarists I have ever seen.

[AkBeringer7]

[barnstormer07]

When I grow up I wanna be Bill Kirchen.

[tinfoilhatawards]

I like the Sugarfoot Rag he did....as you can see... it's even difficult for him to play which make me feel better because he is the maestro.

[robrippen]

I think he passed Holly from land of the lost. Looks like she was impressed with that Hot Rod Lincoln. He got to keep the shirt & wear it!

[EpiDot52]

My new hero

[thompsonlake]

that is what a tele should sound like!

oh my god he is so good

[minegoesto11]

I Love My Tele, it's so versatile I can do anything on it, within my limits.

With 30 more years of practice maybe I'll be able to keep up with Mr. Kirchen's lightning fast chicken pickin'. Absolutely Amazing!!

[skatt33]

the impressions are greattt

[moenr042]

2:47 lol

[fairportfan2]

Saw him do this with his band at the Star Bar in Atlanta years ago - it was longer and had more impressions; incredible stuff.

And all on a Telecaster...

[bosszeroboss]

Amazing stuff.

[chrisgeden]

[Kneedrg]

[wallis222]

nothin beats a tele except a tele made out of an old, dried out piece of wood.

i love my '60s tele.

[markdeanellen]

wow, what a Telecaster in the rite hands can do... Commander Cody & the Lost Planet Airmen were one of the acts that got me into country music in the 70's...them & Gram Parsons. Had to trace it on back...

[rotolo]

[renodavid]

Anyone know what year his Tele is? Is that the same one he used when he was playing with Commander Cody? Interesting to see that it was once a sunburst when he turned it over.

[pump3344]

encore

encore

encore

[BillyBobYT]

Bill Kirchen is the best! His "Hot Rod Lincoln" licks grabbed me 40 years ago and they are still a thrill. On the one record I wait for the moment the Commander says "Here we go!" Bill is better than ever.

[bluesboy68]

Excellent!!!

[Corkeyguitar]

I play a telecaster.

The sound is insane!

This guy can really do it right!

Thanks for posting
