Cool...too bad they're lip synching. Jay Dee already has his distinctive style.
What a band...

Oops, it is a lip synch. Even so, some hot playing on a nice old P/P (black, of course). I wonder if that's the '69 Jay Dee has now.

How can you tell they're lip-syncing?

There's an invisible piano and banjo, and I don't think there are any cables from Jay Dee's steel to the volume pedal.

You can hear it in the vocals. It's close-miked, isolated, and just doesn't sound like stuff you hear that is done live, circa the 1960's.
Still a cool clip, though.

Who's on banjo there? I don't think it's Roy Clark. Didn't Hee Haw have a "melodic" style banjo player? What was that guys name?

There is a cable from Jay Dee's guitar to the pedal and from the pedal to the amp, but they are very light colored.

First thing I noticed was that piano on stage. Wasn't that so typical of the stages you played on back in the day? You always had to move it or play around it, and it was so out of tune you couldn't possibly play it.

What great Memories for Jay Dee with Buck. Buck was good to us all who real knew him. I miss not being able to drop in on him like I always did with out some business appointment. Same as I always did with Merle and guys. RIP -Buck. your old friend Leo J.Eiffert,Jr.
