emmonsh Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Went to soaring eagle casino in Michigan last night to see Vince gill. not a big country lover but my wife is .but I love good guitar players and wow was I impressed. one heck of a player. acoustic wise he played martins but he did play a les paul and a hollow body Gibson. The amazing par was during his encore. He said he wanted to introduce a friend of his that was recording a couple of his songs. Out walked Bob Seager. How fricking amazing. The place went crazy{if you live in Mi you know how much of a icon he is here]. They played about a 10 minute version of old time rock and roll. Lol think every1 was in shock. great time and even won over a 100 dollars. great night and vince is 1 hell of a guitar player. :P
michaelnel Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 Vince has been one of my favorite musicians and vocalists for decades. Not surprised you were impressed too.
livemusic Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 The total package, a publisher's dream... fabulous singer, fabulous picker, fabulous writer. Not many like him. I don't know who is in his league for that total package.
michaelnel Posted May 11, 2014 Posted May 11, 2014 And apparently, a really nice guy. This video of Vince and Patty Loveless singing "Go Rest High On That Mountain" at George Jones' funeral never fails to bring a tear to my eye. I am especially touched when Patty takes over the vocal for Vince, who simply cannot do it at that moment. Two good friends, missing another. No phony show biz emotions there.

modoc_333 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 I got to meet him a while back at the Nashville vintage guitar show. He is a super classy guy! A very nice man.

Thanks for sharing that video. All I can say is.... wow. True love for a true friend coming through. DC
fumblefinger Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Here's Vince supporting Cary Underwood giving the performance of a lifetime. Can't think of another guy who could do this harmony and this solo on a battered old strat. My link
JOESTONE Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 Came upon this picture recently of him with a CF-100e
larryp58 Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 I think this recent song by him and Kelly Clarkson is one of his best ever. Smooth!!!! Their voices really blend well. Great tune.
fortyearspickn Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 1400613808[/url]' post='1522289']Vince has a great collection of guitars. He is a player's player. He doesn't view them as props to hang around his neck. As he sings in one of his many hits, "Shoot that thing!"
larryp58 Posted May 23, 2014 Posted May 23, 2014 I think this recent song by him and Kelly Clarkson is one of his best ever. Smooth!!!! Their voices really blend well. Great tune. Just noticed in this video that he's playin' through a Reissue '65 Deluxe Reverb amp, great sounding all-tube amp. That was my retirement present along with an American Vintage '52 Tele!!!
