Thanks for this upload. I saw the original BR549 line-up (Gary, Chuck, Jay, Donnie, not sure who on drums) at the Sons of Hermann hall in Dallas in the 1990s. They did a straight 3 hour show with no breaks and minimal talk. It was great music and the best money I ever spent for live entertainment.
this was recorded in nottingham uk, i was at the front of the stage,one hellluva band and a night to say i was there!they were awesome all night long and mingled with the crowd after the show,for photos and drinks! truly awesome humble guys!
@rockinredneck57 - I can remember many a night on Lower Broadway when the band played through w/out a break. I am one of the fortunate ones that was there when the band first formed and and got to watch history being made as it happened . Still have recordings of the band in those early days when 'Bugs' and 'Bones' were still w/ them. I talked to Chuck a short while ago and got permission to post some of that stuff so look for it in the near future.
Love that name: BR549! Junior Sample is probably smiling down from heaven at such shenagins! A wonderful rendition of one of country music's greatest tunes. THANK YOU so very much for posting this delightful clip for us to enjoy! :)
@operhoot No, Ray's Cherokee Cowboys were among the finest players to ever back a singer. But Donnie Herron could play with any band anywhere. He would have fit right in with the Cowboys. BR5-49 does a great , great job of keeping this music alive today though. There are those that listen to BR5-49 who have never heard of Ray Price, but they get hooked on his style of music through them.
I've seen them 5 times. My favorite band. I miss them. No one makes music like this anymore. Never saw them with Gary.

love the old classic sound, the new stuff that's on the radio sucks royally, it's not country it's pop rock crap.

without Gary Bennett, they're really not Br5-49.
Of course, your mileage may vary
