Beautiful! Awesome!! But... Be careful with the accolades. "Best" of anything is a stretch, but "best guitarist?" With Christopher Parkening and John Williams out there, you're skating on real thin ice with that comment.

What a wagonload of crap. I'd rather listen to cats screw...

Talking about who's the world's greatest guitar player is like trying to decide how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. But surely, here are three of them.Thanks for all the grins, Doc. The music in heaven just got better.

"Legends of flat-picking guitar" my ass. More like legends of every instrument being played on that stage. Good God, y'all - what a line up!!! I didn't expect to see any slackers in Tony's band, but the more the camera panned, the more my jaw dropped. Great post!!!!!

New subscriber... I've caught and kept hundreds of snakes, but only two venomous and both Agkistrodon: contortrix and piscivorus. I had several Heterodon platirhinos that the old folks in the "country" called "spread adders". They were certain I was going to die at the strike of this Rough Beast ...

Beautiful animal!! Nice video. A little duct tape over a couple of mouths would have improved it.

I was 13 in my folks's car. We were pulling into the parking lot of Grants Shopping Center when this came on the radio. I wouldn't get out of the car til it was over. It still goes through my head almost daily. The Stones are getting old like me, but they have provided a huge part of the sound tr...

I wish John Lennon could have lived to hear this. I think he would have loved it.

Recorded over forty years ago and STILL avante garde. Has music gotten that shitty or were the Beatles just that good? I vote for the latter...

In the early '80's my darlin' and I saw Springsteen. When this song was played, 16,000 people stood up to dance. One row in front and to the left was a guy on those permanent crutches that wrap your arms in metal. He was on his feet (as best he could) swaying back and forth and rolling his head i...

Amen. Kinda like Jim Keltner: doesn't intrude or dominate, but when you focus, you hear something that must be an octopus with a metronome for a brain. Long ago, I recorded an album with the Muscle Shoals Swampers. During a break, Roger Hawkins was just foolin around on this complicated groove - ...

Listen to this man and his contemporaries for five minutes and it's clear as a bell why Keith Richards said "We stole every lick from him." He was referring to Chuck Berry, but it held true for every delta blues singer who founded "American" rock and roll and died broke. The "Music Business" gave...

Stroll through the Wheels and you'll find some serious players. This was a GOOD band. And the front man? I believe Mitch Ryder could share a stage with Mick Jagger and leave with a standing O. The difference? Must be the "butterfly effect."

You know, I actually believe that stuff!

With all due respect to Linda (HUGE respect): this was jersey that should have been hung up.

You Bet! Poet's do that. But Joni took it a step a further: she put music worthy of the words. Look at her paintings, listen to her interviews, read her lyrics, listen to her melodies: this woman is ahead of her time. She will have less hits than "GaGa," but she'll be taught in poetry and music c...

I suspect this is one Heaven's juke box

The great poets and writers touch an ineffable place in our souls. JT is one of those, and this song is an example. You can break this song down a million ways to Sunday and it won't touch the almost physical emotion this song evokes. I grew up with JT on the box. That makes me a rich man. And it...

Can't be about two versions of the song. Nooo... It's gotta be a platform for you to spew from. But I guess when you're a racist, everything is about race. Too bad the hate mongers from both sides couldn't just cancel each other out and you'd all just disappear.

Now now, circlewolf...

The great poets have tried to cage Beauty in words. Everyone knows that's impossible. How does one describe something that causes you cry out loud with heart wrenching pathos and simultaneously laugh out loud at the beauty and freedom of it?

Pathetic attempt on my part, but kindred hearts know e...

What a juncture of poetry and music! There's not a corner of my heart that's not lit by this.

When I fell in love with you in 1967, I thought you were "just" a singer...

Very rarely, an idea and a musical line intersect to make something huge. Luck us. Here's one.

Might very well be!!

I'm still waiting for the time when I listen to this song without tears running down my face.

@chucklesartandmusic You're joking, right?

YESS!!!!

Is this just another suck video, or is this somebody's idea of "art?" Either way, it's a suck video.

What a total load of SHIT!

Just read the source. OK, totally screwed. Mea culpa. That'll teach me to shoot from the hip. Guess I'm the "filth infected pustule" here.

But, you gotta admit, not a bad turn of phrase...

Yessuh!! Cain' spell "the." Cain' find Africa on a map. Cain' find my own skate on de map - got to read fo dat... But I know signs by dey shapes and lites by dey colohs, so I gots me a license and a cah. Don' know who my daddy is but I black and I proud, muffhuggah... I is SOMEBODY. Obama pay fo ...

JT: for forty years, author of some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard; poet of my very own soul; survivor of the "music industry," conqueror of his own monsters; and by every account, a kind, good man. What an oasis in this wasteland of filth and "divas" de jeur.

I was newly in love with my wife of now forty years when this came out. What a time. Not perfect by any means; but if a singer couldn't sing, they didn't haven't a phalanx of computers to fix it. But the "business of music"(an oxymoron by any standard) was already in full swing, and the cow pie a...

Amen! Richard Thompson, Robbie Robertson, and George Harrison are the most underrated guitar players of the last 100 years. You must be a player yourself...

THIS is why I enjoy youtube.

Amazing Mavis... That voice could soothe angry gods.
