For some reason I just started crying when Willy started singing that song. I’m a 79 year old widow and I’ve been blessed 😇 🙏🏻with more wonderful children grandkids and great grandkids than I deserve. Plus just best friends that I’ve known for ever who give me unconditional love 💕 so maybe that’s the reason why I started crying I because I’m so fortunate to have been blessed 😇 with so many dear friends. 😇😇😇😇😇🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏👏👏👏

There will never be another guitarist quite as beautiful as Chet Atkins. He not only had he been enormously talented he had been concerned with helping as many people as he could. He discovered my favorite singer Waylon Jennings and brought him to us so that we were able to enjoy him when he had been alive and now that he’s been gone from us for a long time I still listen to his concerts. And I know know that he had been one of the old friends that Willy Nelson was singing about. 😭😢🥺🥺😊

It just don't get better than this. So glad this music and musicians occurred in my lifetime.

My step father was always in one local country music band or another when I was growing up back in the 70's and early 80's and so Country music was the norm for the common areas of the house back then. One thing I remember him saying countless times, and his fellow band mates agreeing with and never even suggesting an alternative, was that Mr. Chet Atkins was the greatest guitar player to ever put finger to string. I never had cause to disagree with that, One other legendary great that I personally remember and thought had an amazing gift was Roy Clark. I did not stay on the Country trail, so to speak, and as I grew older I gravitated towards Rock and then Punk as my music of choice but I never forgot those days long past of sitting around the "HiFi" listing Chet Atkins, Roger Miller, Charley Pride, Porter Wagner and Dolly Parton just to name a few of the many. It was nice seeing this clip, hearing the music with my eyes closed brings back a lot more more memories for me than actually watching the video but it is a gem all on it's own. Thanks for uploading.👍👍👍

@Van Hatfield I think Miller and Roy Clark were somewhat underrated in pure musical talent due to the fact that they were such good comedians

Beautiful tribute to the wonderful Roger Miller, love this!

Absolutely magical playing by Chet Atkins, he is so talented. Loved watching this. thanks for posting

Loved Chet's Engine Engine #9 but I especially appreciate Willie on When Two World's Collide. Two of the finest celebrating one of the finest songwriters ever to put pen to paper. Love Willie's unique guitar sounds from that old Martin.

Two legends talking about a legend:)

When Chet Atkins died, the good Lord must have welcomed him into Heaven with a golden Guitar and said, here Chet , now get to work. Thanks for this video, great stuff. RIP Chet, you are sorely missed. Thanks. Cheers.. Wayne..

You have to hear the late, great BJ Thomas sing ‘When Two World’s Collide’ to appreciate the song.

There are many videos where Chet owns on guitar. It's great to see Willie demonstrate an amazing degree of skill along side him. Incredibly lucky audience to have a chance to see these two legends give tribute to a legend live.

Chet is so dang cool!

I love watching him pick that guitar, him, Willie,Waylon, Lukas, Micah,all of these talented artists👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️😓😓😓

billga2010: Bravo! One of the very best clips on the music web! There is so much going on here in addition to the music---which is simply terrific. "When Two Worlds Collide" is glorified "front room" or "back porch" pickin' [but really glorified.] Priceless! Thanks so much!

thanks for posting love Roger Miller!

ty for the tribute he deserves it what a talent ,crazy folks can make it too

Had an uncle who play Chet's style great music. I miss Uncle Dave too!

thanks for sharing!! willie is great but anyone would sound good with chet playing lead.

Beautiful tribute

One word only ! FANTASTIC ! !

Good to see these heros., Thanks.

You know, people like to compare performer's abilities, seemingly never learning it's apples and oranges. A comment further down praised Chet, then said Willie....well. Don't get me wrong, everyone is entitled to their opinion, likes, and dislikes. But I have to say, Willie isn't Chet Atkins, BUT Chet Atkins isn't Willie either. Both have great talent. Yes, watching and hearing Chet play is mesmerizing, amazing. But, if you have ears to hear, Willies perhaps simpler guitar playing is just as distinctive , beautiful and unique. I instantly realized his style, sound and licks I've heard on so many of his songs was HIM, he was the guitar player, and I love that sound. Thank God no 2 artists are the same. Anyone that was an exact duplicate of another artist isn't being themselves, no matter how talented. Chances are they won't be around long, if they even get far enough to make a splash. What is truly amazing and interesting is an Artist that incorporates the bits and pieces of their influences, then makes their own unique mark in music. It also gives people like me a freedom to play music, even though I will never sound like, nor likely measure up to those people whose musical talent is so wonderful. Fact is, I don't have to. Great video. Willie may be the last one left on this Earth in this video.

you are awesome for posting this!

fantastic deserves more views thx from the uk

Hehe,- Nelson is as always using "Trigger". That gittar sounds pretty good even when half the body has fallen off during the years and inflated into that crater. They still mend it together all the time. Pieces of wood flying from the stage at any given moment. i LIKE. Chet was just beyond!

Roger Miller was a genius

If you can post the performance from this show of Jerry and Tammy Sullivan singing 'When Jesus Passed By' it would be greatly appreciated.

When Chet got older, he mostly played nylon string guitars and at the end, he couldn't play anymore. I really loved how he did Engine Engine No. 9. I wonder if the woman in the video is his daughter Merle and the kids, his grandchildren. I think so. What a great loss it was to me when Chet died. I consider him to be the best guitar player who ever lived and now, it is Doyle Dykes and Tommy Emmanuel, cgp. Tommy was like an adopted son to Chet and his mentor from age 11 on.

Is there anything that Chet couldn't knock out well? he said he got up at 5:30 to get this arranged. I bet if he slept till 9:00, it would have been ok.

I don't believe he did. The original seems to have been edited as to only show the songs.

I think Willie was rude to break in whenLindsey was talking Lindsey was a neighbor and Rogers very close friend

It's too bad Willie Nelson is so misguided and misled regarding his anti-oil sands position. He's supposed to be for the American worker and jobs. Is he putting us on? He's a good musician, and songwriter but, is uneducated and poorly misinformed in his political view on this issue. So sad.
