Now, that's fun right there! I love the casual look from ALL the guys! The smile on "Mr. Eldin Shamblin with his Telecaster guitar" is so telling of how much fun was had on that stage! Thank you so much for sharing this one! I will be replaying the show soon enough!

Wow, smooth and pure joy. What a pleasure to hear, I have a smile from ear to ear, thank you for posting these gems!
Thanks so much for posting this. What great gentlemen pickers! Johnny was kind enough to play fiddle at the 10th Anniversary of my vet hospital in Dripping Springs, Tx many years ago ... no pay, just for fun. So approachable, always kind, a really genuine human. I sold the hospital, Johnny's passed on ... the post is so very special to me and I'm sure, to many many others.
It's a very early Strat...you can see some great pics of it here...
Clapton offered him 10K for it back in the (I think) 70's....
Does anyone know if the ACL gig was the "Back to Back" band's only performance??
Or, better yet, was there ever a gig with Ray and Shelly??
I seem to recall a gig at the Great American Music Hall, but not sure...

Doesn't get much better in my book. Thanks for posting.
Thanks Bruce,
I was thinking of the intro from Marty Stuart in a recording form an album a while back.
That's it!

Great stuff. I always said if I could play fiddle like anyone I'd want to play like Johnny Gimble. Tiny's great, and Jethro is a real character. That Shamblin guy ain't too bad neither.

Anyone else spotted the late great Rob Wasserman on bass?
Excellent stuff!
