Hello,
I know this sounds crazy but does anyone have any Jerry Reed concert videos from the 70's where he is playing on a Telecaster. I'm looking for stuff of Jerry playing live on a Tele with a thumb pick prior to his straight pick days of the early 80's. I'll be happy to pay good money for a copy.
Thanks,
Jimmy

Here´s a 1976 clip from YouTube with Jerry and Chet playing Tele- and Stratocasters. This goes to prove that Chet is Chet whatever he played.

I've been meaning to re-upload that video in high quality. That was the first video I uploaded on youtube and the program I used was junk.

I love that video. They're playing the same type guitar, but Chet gets his own sound, and Jerry gets his. Hearing the two of them together is great!

Re: Jerry Reed question
Thanks for this post! I've worn this out watching it over and over again. I would love to find a concert video of Jerry from this era where Jer plays all of his hits like Amos and when your hot your hot on a Tele. Would love to see a live version of Alabama Jubilee liked he recorded on a tele. As much as I loved his gut string playing, Jerry's tele playing was also awesome. He was a fantastic Chicken picker. I watched an episode of Nashville Now one time. Ralph Emery offered to pay for the recording if Jerry, James Burton and Albert lee would do a record together. In typical Jerry fashion, he said he didn't think he could keep up with those two. I shook my head is dis-belief. He was so humble when it came to his guitar playing. Behind all the humbleness was a genious. I'll never forget buying the the Half & Half album and listening to nervous break down and thought oh my gosh this guy is un-believable. That Album was a musicians album. Sorry to ramble but I'm a Jerry Reed nut and I don't even play guitar. I'm a drummer. That's what his music has meant to me.
Thanks,
Jimmy
