Thank you so much for sharing. Some funny comments here about the men in black! But serious - have a look at the left hands. Roy picks the chords and Johnny does as if he picks the chords and is stroking the guitar neck a little bit up and a little bit down. At first view nobody remarks. He does it that cool as if it is the most regular thing to do. But it`s no problem because the guitars are not amplified. The music is playback, but the voices are live. Concurrently awesome and funny moment.
This is great music! Great Artists! Where has it all gone! I mean turn on the radio station and listen to what's playing these days. I bet not even autotune could hit some of those high notes like Orbison could, let alone artists these days.. such a shame.. wish I could've been alive to see any of that classic music live...
@hellomadina His playing style is very interesting and QUIET, but that guitar is what amazes me the most, i haven't seen that kinda tuning pegs since.. never?
Anyone notice the key is dropped a few steps and neither of them knew the chords in that key? I think that´s why Roy looks like he´s about to start laughing half way through. Love it.
Earlier I'n this video, before it started.. Roy made a comment about how johnny gave him a hard time about Roy not hitting the low notes... It caught Johnny offguard and that's why Johnny made that comment I'n the beginning, when the video first atarted
@Kanadianas Haha, I guess they're both just pretending playing guitar.... You don't hear a single acoustic guitar..... And Johnny seems not very good at pretending at this point..... But it's a great one to see.....
absolute presence by true talent and the smiles on their faces show they can rock and enjoy! now we have a hipster generation that doesn't know shit and they devalue everything once good and are covered in tatt's and talk about how hard their lives are whilst their mom picks them up in a bentley to take them to their " alternative gig"
Pra quem não sabe, Roy Orbison, Junto com June Carter foram os "Anjos da Guarda" de Johnny Cash, livrando-o das encrencas em que Johnny se metia, pagando fianças, escondendo-o estratégicamente das lentes dos fotógrafos nos piores momentos (embora nem sempre conseguissem). No filme "Jonny& June, ele não quis aparecer. Ficou lá, bem no fundo, apenas um rapaz de óculos grossos. Humildade é humildade, né? Graaaaande Orbison!
@WalrusGumBoot62 the key has been lowered a fair bit so Jonny can sing! They just didnt transpose them so pretended to play while the band did!! Great to see and hear these legends singing together tho!!! :O)
Doesn't get much better that this! Music obviously took a turn for the worse somewhere since then which is sad...it used to be about meaningful lyrics and now its about making as money songs as you can so that you can get as much money and publicity as possible. Bring these guys back please!
Btw...absolutely classic part at 0:45 when Johnny coughs...loved hackin' his darts no doubt!
At the very end, if you catch it, Johnny as he is shaking Roy's hand, says "I tried not to sing too much" Roy says "You did just fine" God stars were so polite back then!! What has happened to our world? Now the stars are all show-offy and not modest.
THIS VIDEO IS EXEMPT FROM COPYRIGHT RESTRICTIONS BECAUSE IT IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES. ROY ORBISON IS CHEROKEE & HIS VIDEOS ARTE REQUIRED VIEWING IN MY AMERICAN INDIAN HISTORY CLASSES! JOHNNY CASH IS CHOCTAW.
@joeocho88 Johnny Cash thought his roots were Native-American (during the '60's I believe and that's why he also did many native-american songs including The Ballad Of Ira Hayes) but later he discovered he actually had scottish heritage... No Native-American in Johnny Cash.
@Spyflugan91 For purposes of Copyright Law, Mr. Cash is Choctaw. I know for a fact that Roy Orbison is Cherokee because he went to school with my late roommate's mother & she was Cherokee too! She knew the Orbison family in Wink,Texas! Johnny Cash was given a tribal membership for those recordings he did, BTW so I heard
If you actually look at Johnnys face half way through the song, he's off his head on something! He's totally struggling to stay coherent, look at it again and tell me Cash isn't high as a kite,
