Baby Fat! Love you Jimmy Hall! I was attending the front door while you were recording this song. How could i ever forget that ? Man you have such a righteous set of pipes! Keep on singing and Smiling!

Rest in peace Dickey Betts

This is an amazing piece of footage on two different levels. First of all you have an early version of sea level chuck Lavelle, Jamo, and Jimmy Nalls, and Lamar Williams. There is no Randall Bramlett or Davis Causey who later became members of sea level and that band put out some phenomenal albums. But never got the recognition because it was the end of Capricorn records and the southern so-called rock sound, but they were beyond that and I always hate the term southern rock just because these bands were from the south and in their playing styles, you can hear, blues soul, gospel, it’s just a sad thing to label that so-called southern rock

love the guitar, can you tell me what bridge you are using on it?

Love Elvin Bishops dance moves.

Very nice Jr Chris, excellent work! 👌🙂

Love it. Gorgeous. precision makes a damn fine kit..and you make it even better..looks great and if this is the guitar in sound clips it's badass..great guitar

yur very intelligent & wise if u never understood or cared for this type of ignurt noise

This is brilliant. So glad I found it.

The marshall tucker band were on the posters for 1979 Knebworth Festival (Led Zep) but where a no show.

Wow

Oh Yes!!! My family was INTO the Carter campaign. It turned out a bit patchy, but to get a genuine Southerner into the White House was such a big deal. It meant the world to my parents and grandparents. They were Scots-Irish and from that class. And of course, they were all conservatives, but that was secondary. They were rural, farm people and they proved a point! (Yes, they all voted Reagan after that:)

I saw Wet Willie open for The ABB in August 1971. I really liked them but the NY fans booed the hell out of them. Go figure!

Beautiful

What brand stop tailpiece bridge is that?

Wouldn't for Duane this would have never happened!!!!

How did they get Jimmy Carter to wear the Old Grey Whistle Test badge! Old Grey Whistle Test was the serious rock music show here in the UK presented by "Whispering" Bob Harris - I wasn't allowed to stay up late to watch it when I was a kid! Lol.

How about the unexpected cameo by Billie Jo Shaver!

Just out of interest, did you have to raise the height of the neck to match the thickness of the veneer. Such as adding a shim?

IT WAS THE 1976 PICNIC~!!...and it ended on a HAPPY & SAD note; the debute of "SEA LEVEL", and the permanent closeing of "UNCLE SAM'S" niteclub, with STILLWATER signing out with "SAM'S JAM"~!!....i know cause i was there also, sitting right behind WILLIE PERKINS, SEA LEVEL'S MGR.

Really nice job on the guitar man. Music sounds great, great tone. I wonder if you still have it?

what were the stains you used for this.?

thank you brother. what a cool time to be alive.

Way to represent at the time! God bless Capricorn Records.

I am in the process of building a custom 59 kit from Precision. I have a question about the neck on your own build. Is the neck still stable, has it warped or bowed? Thanks

I was just becoming a teen in 76 but I remember the scene very well. I didn't know it then but right around then, whatever was leftover from the 60's was pretty much played out by the mid 70's and on its way out.....be it hair style, clothes style or music, a new style was coming in, and with that, the 60's was getting pretty much gone. Hello Farrah and goodbye Joe Namath. Hello Journey, goodbye Santana. Hello Rocky, goodbye whatever

O my what a piece of great history of the greatest folk..tears of joy flowing,iam so thankful to have been a part of this...thank you Jesus for bringing me thru..Peace n Love to all readers💜🤴

Bridges was here Ohio rocks sneakers n shades

I was at Lakeside that day. What a trip down memory lane!

I would like to thank whoever left a comment under a Dickey Betts video mentioning this show. This is incredible!

I was there at the "May-con" Capricorn Picnic. A bit of chaos, if i remember correctly. But what they did capture was some damn good music anyway! As you can hear.

what is the bridge you used

MTB forever! 🌈

Damn i remember that Stillwater performance vividly from 44 years ago...damn time sure has flown in

Wet Willie starts it off sounding like Sly & Family Stone.

wow totally awesome, especially the burst on the veneer. Im gonna try their 335 kit soon. Best Dave

Wrote and played the music? are you David Gilmour

Precision Guitar Kits are the best. Beautiful work, all around.

I saw Wet Willie first time in B'ham AL and guess who opened? Lynyrd Skynryd. Wet Willie was one of my favorite bands as a 13-year old. I read about them when Stereo Review's Joel Vance reviewed their second album Wet Willie II. I bought it and was hooked. Not too long after I got deeper into them with Drippin' Wet which is still one of the best live rock albums ever. Jimmy Hall was the most funky white boy soul singer ever. Ricky Hirsch was a wonder on guitar. And their secret weapon was John Anthony on electric piano. This great BBC time capsule shows Marshall Tucker at a time when they were red hot and really killin' it. It's kind of a wonder we have to rely on the BBC for our filmed rock. The US was slow on the up-take instead giving us shows like Shindig. For the real germ-infested rawer stuff we have to thank our Brit cousins (don't forget Rockpalast). This is the best video/audio of this show I've seen. I've got an download that was likely sourced from someone's primitive video recording of this so this one bests that easily. Capricorn was one unique hothouse of Southern rock and roll. Great bands like these and Grinder Switch, Cowboy, Captain Beyond, and White Witch among others. We can than the Allman Brothers for giving Capicorn all the money and clout. I'll always have to say Toy Caldwell was one of the best and most under-rated rock guitarists of all-time.

40:45 Stillwater! Hell Yeah

Put this in a time capsule, put it in a rocket a launch it to the end of the solar system. If there is intelligent life out there, they will transmit a message back "Send more Dicky Betts"

Can I ask, if you are still there, did you get the maple veneer from precision? If not, then where?

Nicely done.

Chris Man, you gotta change the title or at least add the band names to this so more people will find it.. What a great vid. Thank you very much!!

Nice guitar, but looks more like a Gibby Spirit1 to me And they ain’t shabby guitars

Is that a oak or maple cap??? It,s beautiful.

Tasty!

Wow man that turned out fantastic!

37 minutes in , great player , horrible strat sound !
