Les Claypool from Primus knew the talent of this guy.Remade Amos Moses another great tune from a great artist.

[bjroberts65]

Jerry Reed is the MAN!!!

[ch93ef]

[CrazyKennyHaHa]

Shabbat does not begin in Royal Palm Beach, Florida until 7:58pm- Crazy Kenny finished his job @ 6:29pm. He still got perfect timing... When you're hot... you're hot. I almost had one hour and half left on the clock...

[MrTommy001]

I've heard nothing but good about Jerry as a real normal guy. Wish I could have met him. We could do some harm to some beers....

[PalakikaK]

Thank you so much for posting this! When I was little, I used to watch his movies... Really miss his singing and acting...

[sparklerman]

Hey jedzxor....i was at this concert at the Lucas County Rec Center and still have the ticket stub. Are you from Maumee by any chance? Thanks for posting this as i have told the story of how he made his entrance in a Mack truck!

[trickkelly1986]

those guys looked like they wouldn't trade their job for anything

[handyharder]

This is when songs were about a story and not the same lyrics over again and again

[joetubealong]

This is the worst country song ever, But Jerry Reed was cool so it don't matter

[phantom196617]

He was doing a show at a hotel i did room service in I went down to watch him practice and he ordered some food and invited me to eat with him. He was truly down to earth and loved his fans.

[H1lle1337]

wow nice.

Keep this in your heart :)

[NightHorder]

@phantom196617 LUCKY!!!!!!! :(

[orionjuvetas]

the only thing i can say about jerry is that he was a legendary song writer, an even better song writer, and better yet at playin' that there guitar

[nikitran]

I think I can safely say that there will never be another Jerry Reed. He had a style all his own. I'll miss his great talent and his great sense of humor.

[rudeger66]

I used to have this song on a K-Tel album called "Kooky Kountry"! Havent heard this song in YEARS!!! Thanx for the post!

[gibbyson123]

jerry reed aka snowman is awesome

[rtruss40]

Just a pure class act...He will be missed

[SaddletrampMO]

I saw him in 1985 @ the SEMO county fair in southern Missouri. He had 3 other gutiar players in the band on that tour, but he played lead on just about every song the entire show, I mean PICK'N THE HELL OUT OF THAT GUT-IAR!

[LitleMissLovely]

[chuyhou]

Reed YOU ARE Awesome, SON

[bjroberts65]

[pulangdragon]

too bad he was a jerk in life untill his last few years, by his own admission.....when your hot, your hot, and when your dead, you rot!

[pulangdragon]

when your hot, your hot....

when your dead, you rot...

[bjroberts65]

LOVED IT! JERRY YOU WILL BE MISSED.R I P

[motelcalifornia]

How come there's no more cool country people like Jerry?

[JushGus]

brad paisley's pretty cool. listen to throttleneck and i'm still a guy. great stuff...

[jimmyischill5790]

Brad Paisley is like Jerry the last of dying breed, sorta similar guitar styles too

[stipecountry]

jimmyischill5790: Speaking of Brad Paisley, he played a small part of Reed's "The Claw" last year at the CMA's, in tribute to Reed.

Also, Brent Mason can play that Jerry Reed-style guitar pretty well too!

[kuhchicken]

Nothin' but class! We'll all miss you Jerry...just in case there's YouTube in Heaven, and you read this!

[19Chuck80]

This is my favorite song of his ....he wore this jacket when he guest starred on Mama's Family around the same time as Leonard Oates

[ANSTREW]

I remember this song from the seventies. I saw him in "Smokey and The Bandit" with my dad. I have a cousin who wrote a song for Jerry called "Forty Four". I think it was the flip side to "She Got The Goldmine (I Got The Shaft).

[alwayssme]

he truly was always a great entertainer, he will be missed, we are lucky we have this technology today that lets us see him and whomever else whenever we like.

[hollygugl]

thanks for the memories Jerry -- girls theres nothing like it is there????

^ .. ^ -- when your hot your hot....

[passover77]

I hope Jerry's not hot now! R.I.P. Brother!

[amazingprovideo]

Amazing that he would put on such a strong performance when performing at a little nothing Podunk-town like Toledo.

[DetroitD60]

I beg your pardon! Toledo, Ohio is a great city with great people!!!!

[amazingprovideo]

I'm just having fun with y'all since I'm originally from Cincinnati. Now, Detroit is a whole 'nother story! Thanks for taking hapless Rudi Johnson and ancient Jon Kitna off our hands....we have a Super Bowl to win this year. Will the Lions even win 3 games this year? Hmmmmm...

[rogertrucker]

Jerry Reed forever... Hot forever. Great singer and actor, the Snowman!

[Kilroy1981]
