While I'm always sharing the link to Price and Emmons on ACL reprising 'Night Life', I had never see this before.
Looks like the same show:
An Emmons masterclass with almost every technique displayed, it's come at a bad time for me; I was just considering recording my own version here at home and had planned to switch necks back-and-forth.
Hearing this has put that project 'on hold'.
Apologies if everyone's heard this a thousand times. I hadn't.
That's surely the point, isn't it? His talents were prodigious but perhaps his greatest skill was making it look as though anyone could do it.
Such a great right hand! When he hits the octave strings here and there then seamlessly reverts to full chords, then single-notes, and all with such fluidity.
It's a kick-ass band, to be sure (listen to them highlighting the phrasing with him), but I suppose any band with the Big E on board started at a distinct advantage.
I love this clip!
Roger Rettig: Emmons D10, B-bender Teles, Martins, and a Gibson Super 400!

Thanks you David MUCH! And so many have passed own. Also, I have missed all of you! I turned 92 last April 5, this year. So, May Jesus bless you and yours, Always. Amen!
