Vince Gill & Carrie Underwood

How great thou art. 7eiEaK4GXtw

Stratocaster playing like I've never seen and what a performance. One of the best live performances I've seen ever. Grab a tissue and enjoy.

rarely do we all get to witness a spirit like this, and make no mistake it was all across the stage, all instruments all voices, playing in complete kindred spirit with both Vince and Carrie..a very rare incredible moment in live music..Vince and Carrie "took em all to Church" and if this performance doesn't make her a world class singer, nothing will !

Wow! I saw this on the other night, and just breezed on by it. I guess I should have checked it out. Thanks for sharing this with us!

WOW! Speechless.

No pedals, no special effects, no flashy lights, no bling bling, nothing but raw talent and musicianship made completely vulnerable on a big stage......for God!

Carrie is starting to remind me of Martina McBride, who is shown in the crowd just as amazed as everyone else! If you aren't blinking your eyes after this one, your batteries are dead! :mrgreen:

Vince almost sounds like a Ry Cooder slide solo..Very nice.

I believe it is Tommy White on steel and I think I saw Brent Mason on guitar.

The Strat playing was indeed masterful, but Carrie was the story here. WOW!

Fantastic.

*sniff*

great clip of Vince on Wheel...and yes, with TW on Steel !

I liked the video and the peformances were really great. I noticed the only the highlighted celebs stood up at the end. They were "lit up" and even their carpet was red. Are the audiences at these things fake?

Perhaps, but you can't fake greatness !

Ah, great. Thanks for that.

Somewhere in Ireland there is a famous guitarist wondering if he should maybe just do away with his 17 racks and 10 foot long pedalboard.

No, they just can afford the most expensive tickets. They don't highlight the "unknown" people with the chepaer seats farther back in the crowd, and the ones at the front are usually other industry performers and award winners.

You can buy a ticket to the event if you want, but don't expect great seats! A lot of that is dictated by the presence of tv.

You see more people with a big screen TV.. EX: a 65 " screen sees more people than a "42...:roll:

How do you figger? Both are receiving the same picture from the tv crew.....does the bigger tv show more poeple? Or just bigger people?

can't say, but our TV has a setting where everyone is thinner :lol:

:shock:

Key change

:shock:

Loved it.

Truly a great performance that we can now enjoy forever. Thanks for sharing!

I posted that video as well in the "music to my ears section". It totally awed me in every sense of the word!

Wow I didn't know she could do that. I always thought her voice sounded "pinched", but she sounds amazing when she opens up

That was an awesome performance. I didn't know she could sing that well... and as for Vince Gill, he's my hero.

Simply awesome!

I have to say I almost didn't make through this song at all, and I'm at work and haven't been able to hear a note! It's quite obviously amazing.

That is the best this side of heaven. Absolutely fantastic.

If anybody has any information on the Stratocaster Vince is playing I'd like to know about it. I know the story of his Telecaster - I even know the guy who sold it to him. This old Strat looks like it could tell a few stories a s well. I have Vince's autograph and he has always been one of my favorite country artists. Vince and Carrie - good old Oklahoma people.

wonderful!!!!!!

vince is such a class act... everything he touches becomes beautiful!

and carrie is in excellent voice!

i really wish that there was a complete concert with vince on dvd. it's hard to believe theres not one... seriously, his greatness should be documented for posterity.

COME ON VINCE!?!?

Wow! Amazing!

GREAT VIDEO!
....if he's going to play like that in church tho...he'll need to leave those TWO tube amps at home & play thru a POD





sorry couldn't resist

I read in another thread from this year that he bought a new 59 Strat he just picked up that was owned by Dwayne Eddy. Could this be the one?

kinda boring but those are lovely strat tones and she's a hell of a singer

I can't come up with the right words to describe that performance. I was awestruck:smile:

He's holding a Fender (Jaguar in the inside article picture).

I saw a video clip of an interview with Miranda Lambert where see is talking about her workouts to get in shape (upcoming wedding to Blake Shelton).

Miranda is quoted as saying "Those Carrie Underwood thighs don't come easy". Funny, I hadn't noticed those.:shock:

Wonderful story about Vince and Amy in AARP magazine.

Awesome, great musicians playing good songs. Was I taken to Church? NO.

I wonder how this music affects them personally. I know that Vince is just as likely to do a gig the next night singing about Sex, Alcohol and Honky Tonks. He's a great picker but I wouldn't invite him to sing in my church.

I too wish he would put out a live DVD.

WOW! Speechless.

No pedals, no special effects, no flashy lights, no bling bling, nothing but raw talent and musicianship made completely vulnerable on a big stage......for God!


+1 -- That was the real deal.

First Mother's Day without my Mom. "How Great Thou Art" was her favorite hymn and Vince her favorite singer.

I'm a mess...but thanks for the great videos. I'll be sending these out to my family.

I'm just being abit of a philosopher right now. Don't mean anything disrespectful by this critique. I'm just curious about something:

Didn't I just see a bunch of pedals? (in front of vince's amp?)
Didn't I just see lots of bling bling? (carries dress!)
Didn't I just see plenty of flashing lights?
The whole thing was a special effect - with great mood lighting.
I don't know if there was anything vulnerable about that great performance - or if it was for God. I would like to think so. But i'm not convinced.

I sure agree with the raw talent though. Incredible musicians.

What I was referring to was the musical talent and Carrie's sincerity. I think she sang it from the heart as praise to her Creator.

thanks, I needed that (video/song)

I've been skipping by this thread for a while. Decided to give it a few seconds of a listen today. I didn't want it to end. WOW.

If you didn't get into the performance, I'd just leave it at that. People get that spiritual connection from different things. I wouldn't read too far into it.

I loved it. I thought Underwood was absolutely beautiful and vince gill plays some very tasteful licks on that nice strat. I loved it!
