Roy Clark - Under the Double Eagle

Live performance of Roy Clark playing Under the Double Eagle. I believe it was performed on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

Interessante Fassung - trotzdem gefällt mir der MARSCH besser.

Interpretation:

Interesting version - nevertheless the MARCH pleases me better.

I re-did this and kept the conversation in.

It's the one posted in "video response".

Also, I used DFX audio enhancer to improve the sound.

If this was done on Carson, it is a note for note match including audience applause at the end to a live performance at the Landmark Hotel in Vegas in the late '60's. The Album is called Roy Clark Live At The Landmark. I listened to that album till I plum wore a hole through it. One of my absolute favorite songs by absolute favorite picker. Thanks for posting...As good as it gets...Whew!

I found this using emule. I took out the talk at the end. He said let's do it again and the band started again but quit. He said that grimace he had was caused by the pain of playing it. He also said he couldn't have a 9 to 5 job because he doesn't like gettin up in the morning. Unless he's playing late and it goes into the morning.

I just remember seeing him play this and saying those things on the Tonight Show. Probably late 70's or early 80's.

The reason in my mind Roy Clark is such a guitar genius is every single lick he plays is melodic and can stand all by itself.  He is not just noodling around with scales and patterns. That and his amazing speed and clean picking technique.

[daffydoug]

His sound is so distinct I can pick him out in a crowd of a thouand guitarists!

@minralb  I pretty sure Roy was in Oklahoma

[martinaxman]

A lot of people can play this tune. Roy just makes me smile! Sure do miss him.

[whiteindianone]

[patta881]

@Heidibear76 I don't know where Roy was raised but I do know that he was born in a small Virginia town sometime during the 1930s depression. He sure doesn't sound like a NYC boy, but his parents may have moved up there when he was a young boy and he already had that country boy talking style.

[idgit2442]

@Heidibear76 Sounds like he could have been raised in my stomping grounds in Texas. But that's the thing about genius. Although Roy made his bones in country & bluegrass, he can play anything, & do it as if that was HIS genre. All great talent doesn't grow in one spot. Be proud he's yours.

One of the best guitarist to ever grace a stage! My childhood hero. God bless Roy Clark!

[MrDaleowen]
