My granddaughter and I have the privilege of having the same birthday date as speedy January 25th rip my man

Never heard of them and I’ve lived in Australia for 50 years! Thank you.

Amazing work!!

Amazing Work!

Him and Jimmy were ahead of their time. Their music is timeless.

Speedy was able to look up from his instrument and connect with the audience. Most steel guitar players don't.

WOW

One of the legends!!!

killer

When are you going to show the full shows, these clips are great but the full shows are better, they have some great Aussie artists and also people like Marty Robbins?

Reminds me of cartoons like spongebob and ren and stimpy

Introduction by the LeGarde twins Tom and Ted. They were from Australia.

What a wonderful steel guitarist, fantastic!

What a Great Guitar Player Steel Player! WooF!

Today i'm so happy and grateful I found this

I've been up Chris LeDoux fan since the early

Everyone rates buddy emmons as the best as he was, but even he had nothing on speedy west and I don't think nobody ever will. Speedy is the king and Buddy is the prince.

well, allllright

He was a real king on steelguitar!. 5stars!

Hi, can you please tell me where you got the clip from please? I am trying to find some footage of the Wagon Wheelers which were also on Country Style but am having trouble finding any. Thanks :)

Speedy was a steelin' genius!

What's the name of the song he's playing?

Amazing how they won't acknowledge Mark Herndon's contribution to the band. Without him, ALABAMA wouldn't have been successful.

Hot Velveeta w/ habanero.

A real Master! Nobody has control over the pedal steel like ole Speedy! So fast on his movements, I haven't heard anyone can do that like he does!

Thank you.

Likely his influence was more indirect and subtle as an innovator and experimentalist in a still primitive era. Of course his direct connection with Leo Fender as in house test pilot made him invaluable with the development of a lot of the gear the 60s and 70s guitar gods utilized to reach the top of the mountain. Speedy and several other unsung heroes built that mountain. Swing that thang, Speedy!

So many memories with these guys from the late 70's to 1980. Jeff and I were working together at the Big Yak, which is mentioned in this interview. Good times indeed.

Tube amps and no pedals...wow!

It's heartwarming to read the comments about my Dad!❤

my all time favorite singer songwriter but first n foremost a man who stayed true to himself till his last breath n that's hard to come by these days for sure .....absolutely miss his shows and always will.

number one show and the best sound !

That's my uncle

Very cool

RIP Ted and now Tom.

got here via Steve Howe mentioning Speedy. Steve's a huge fan and now, so am I !

Vale Ted and Tom⚘

They don’t play em like they used to. TG for YT.

Thanks so much for posting this - really helps with understanding his technique

who is that lady?

I'm 62 and I've listened to one hell of a lot of guitarists in my life. But I just heard about Speedy West this morning. This guy is amazing.

Where would Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, Jeff Beck and a lot of other great guitarists be without Speedy West?

I just got turned on to this artist. Speedy West rules. Where would the great guitarists of the '60s, 70s and 80s be without Speedy. Speedy is the man!

I love the guitarists from the '60s and 70s but they don't have shit over Speedy West. What an innovator. Where would Hendrix, EVH and SRV be without Speedy?

I love EVH but Eddie (and a lot of players that came after him) don't have shit on Speedy West. Speedy was such an innovator.

This is wow

Speedy, custom altered his steels himself.......all pedal steel players would compete to see who had the latest innovations to their instruments....same as the electric guitar players and their amplifiers..........Speedy had some awesome mods to his pedal steels.

I love how he is so geeked out about the noises. He just keeps pullin out tricks #springfieldmo pride

Great performance by Speedy West, and this show was compared by Australua's famous LeGarde Twins.

Miss Chris ledoux, Since He left us. my hero
