Brian Setzer & Brad Paisley - "Boogie Woogie Santa Clause" ((CMA Country Christmas 2011))

Am I the only one that realizes that it is a fake band in the back ground (It is not Brian Setzers band) This fake band is not playing live, however Brian Setzer is. He is playing along with a recording . Why they do things like this I do not know.

[kittom1378]

It always like this....Almost nobody can play or keep up with Setzer. It's not their fault. They do the best they can.

I agree with midrangesupport...it almost looked like a last minute thing thought up in rehearsals..."Say Brad, how about joining in with Brian on these two tunes?" Brad's solo openings kind of overlapped with Brian's. Paisley is a solid guitarist, and capable of more than he showed here, but didn't seem to have a defined role in either song he played with Setzer that night (and no singing either). BS was great, as usual.

Paisley did seem a little out of his element. Doesn't look pissed to me, just like he's having to concentrate to keep up. I'm not a country (at least modern country guy) but I gotta' say, when Paisley takes a solo I was really impressed, he's got at least a little bit a' Rockabilly in his soul. Setzer of course, is god.

Brad wasn't pissed at Brian, he was uncomfortable up there. I don't think Brad was extremely familiar with the songs and where he would fit in. Brian was extremely comfortable as it's his band, his arrangements. I think they had Brad up there to add some "Country" cred to this act for the CMA...he wasn't necessary IMHO.

DAMN BRIAN WAS STEPPING ALL OVER BRAD! I THINK I SEE BRAD GETTING PISSED A BIT

@JackDawsonRMS yes you're right, what the fuck is brad doing there if he's just clogging

[DKcoffee]

If brad was going 80 Brian just passed him at 120 on the freeway.

I really like them both but Seltzer stole the show. Awesome!

[QueenofCountry13]

Great! But why didn't Brad sing?

[LMD129]

I love them both, but I wish Brad would have sang too

[MrGuimbard]

Masterful sax playing - some of the best I've heard.
