Can anyone identify the steel guitarist and guitar player on this early performance?

And, is that a really short bass he's playing, or is it down in a hole in the stage???

It's a regular size bass with the endpin all the way in played by a tall guy.

Looks like "Big" Ben Keith to me. Howard Rooten on lead guitar. Bobby

What a cool blend of pedal and non-pedal licks! Is there any way we can go back in time and do some pickin'?

You can really hear Moon's influence in the steel break. It is almost a lift from Skeets McDonald's recording of 'Don't Push Me Too Far' with Moon doing the honors.

Very cool stuff.....

Hi Roger! Definitely Ben Kieth!
