How about a little Don Rich with Buck Owens?

[Docreed2003]

Full disclosure I consider Don Rich to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, C&W guitarists of all time...but if you're a big country fan you might notice something a bit, shall we say, off in this performance. I'll give a heart to the first that notices it and can tell us why it's "off"

1. Well..I don't see the Buckaroos anywhere..

And the tempo is a little..interesting. But it’s Buck and Don, so I’ll take it.

Edit to add..where’s the pedal steel???

2. "We got both kinds, we got country and western!"

I have a guess, and it's a good one, but I want to see what other DUers come up with.

More Don Rich:

4. What's your guess? 😁

6. What I found unusual about this video is that Buck Owens and Don Rich are

wearing, basically, button-down shirts. Usually when they perform, Buck Owens especially, they're wearing Nudie-type suits or at least some kind of western-theme shirt.

They look too normal here, not as if they're dressed up to perform.

7. That's a great guess

Sneederbuck got it below. Don's playing a Gibson in the video which is highly unusual. Ordinarily, he is seen playing a custom silver sparkle Fender Telecaster

3. Rich usually played a Telecaster. Not here.

5. Ding ding...but why oh why is he playing that Gibson??

Edit: Actually that's the LP "professional" model he's playing
