The 25 of March 1966 - 43 years ago was Buck & The Buckaroo's performance at The Carnegie Hall.
To me that's the best live album that has been recorded.
Tom's playing on this recording made me want to play pedal steel and still does!

Great album no doubt. But talking about favorite albums, mine are, in order of preference: Charley Pride Live form Panther Hall and Merle Haggard Live from Muskogee Oklahoma.
Pride's is a classic because, well, we all know why..Lloyd on steel
Merle's because it's got Drive!
Another one that deserves honorable mention is Glen Sherley live from Folsom Prison
This would be a fun poll to run. Out of the 4, what is your fav?[/i] |

A couple of years ago I believe on one of the country TV channels, they did a show called "The Grand Ole' Opry live from Carnegie Hall". The show featured Vince Gill, Tater, Patty Loveless and Ricky Skags among others. I liked the show, however the acoustics of the sound left a little to be desired.
It just wasn't as good as the Ryman or the Opry house. I came to the conclusion that Carnegie Hall may have good acoustics to perform Classical but not good to perform Country.Don't get me wrong. I think it's good for New York City to get some culture with a side order of grits and gravy.But they could have chosen antoher venue. And I know Ernset Tubb played there back in the 60's.Tommy |

I beg to differ - I liked the sound of the Buckaroos at Carnegie as well as the performance. Different strokes .... |

That's my favorite album too. It came pretty close to the show I saw in Vallejo, California minus the risque skits. The show in Vallejo had a huge stage and on each side there was a wall of speakers. I had never seen such stacked equipment before. It would even have made Jimi Hendrix a little jealous.  Their A&R man must have been top notch because every note and word spoken was crystal clear. What a sound ! |

| Barry to me it didn't sound like the Opry. I don't know if it was the TV audio or what. Tommy |

an old girlfriend gave me that when it first came out on cd. i love all the banter between buck and doyle on that.
listened to "together again" from that album about 5 times this week.
brings a tear to my eye whenever i hear tom brumley's solo on that one.

Connie : I agree with you and your love for Tom's great playing. Brings tears to my eyes; Too..
Bent : I also love Charlie's Live At Panther Hall; Mr Green is one of my favorite steelers; I loved every tune he has ever backed charlie on. Oh, yes, Charlie is my wife's favorite Country singer.

It has often been hard for me to determine which band I believe to have been better:
1. The Buckaroos (with Buck Owens, Don Rich, Tom Brumley, Willy Cantou and Doyle Holly)
2. The Texas Troubadours (with Leon Rhodes, Buddy Charleton, Jack Drake (Pete's brother), Cal Smith and Jack Green)
I suppose if pressed, I would have to go with the Buckaroos. Not because it necessarily had better players, but because of its charisma and showmanship.
The "Bucks" were truly "amazing"

I think that if anyone of us experiences the joy the
Buckaroos had on stage we should consider our lives
blessed. I love to listen and watch. |

Tom's tone on that CD defines great E9th tone, IMHO. Definitely one of my all time favorites. I talked to Tom about that album, and he described to me the frustration of working with the Bakersfield recording engineers, who always wanted to turn the twang to 11. On that album, you get pure, velvet Tom Brumley. I love it.
I've actually played Carnegie Hall, with Donna Fargo. The sound really sucked, but 99.99% because Donna's husband was the 'sound guy', and he brought in her sound system, and had her vocals at ear splitting volume.
That stage is a delicate flower. I'm sure that the Buckaroosters would have sounded great, with no miking of amps, and minimal PA. They weren't a loud band, by todays (or 1980s) standards. |

| Wish I could have seen them. I know people who did. They are my favorites with Tom being #1. The Beatles of Country Music. |
