When guitarist of Queen & Rolling Stones pay homage & respect to you, Mr.James Burton,you are CREAM de la CREAM of guitar players.Elvis would be so proud, looking down from Heaven ❤❤❤
Scotty Moore, Chuck Berry, Cliff Gallup, Buddy Holly and James Burton were the guys who wrote the rules for rock and roll guitar playing back in the 1950s. Here we are in 2023 and James is the last man standing- 70 years on from when he began playing in public- an unparalleled accomplishment and a remarkable musician who inspired all the greatest British rock guitarists.
Before all of them was the godmother of rock and roll. Sister Rosetta Tharpe. Check her out. Chuck Berry said, my entire career was just one long impersonation of Sister Rosetta Tharpe.
@@Amen.22 Yes, I agree- I know her stuff she is extremely important. The players I mentioned became the influences for the many who came later and they all had their influences- Burton mentions Chet Atkins and Lightnin' Hopkins. People forget that Chet Atkins played ground breaking guitar in the early 50s- Scotty Moore was a fan of his while Atkins was influenced by George Barnes as well as Merle Travis. Many of these players were influenced by Charlie Christian, T-Bone Walker and Les Paul and none of them existed in a vacuum and their various influences could be heard on certain radio shows- so, Junior Barnard who played for Bob Wills was another. The guitarists I mentioned all ended up playing on million selling records and their contributions to rock and roll guitar basically wrote the rulebook for a decade or so but it is fair to say, that James Burton kept raw and innovative rock and roll guitar playing on hit records well into the 1960s when the new wave of players took off.
What a beautiful picture. Hearing Brian singing that oldie was something & him doing a bit of dance moves was so cute. Congratulations to all the musicians there.
Queen played this to 90,000 at Slane Castle, Ireland on a hot summer day 1986 Guitar Bass Drums and impeccable 3 part harmony Fred, Brian and Roger Mind blowing
They did exactly what Led Zeppelin did 10 years before them. May said in an interview that the idea of rockabilly pupuri on that tour came to their mind precisely by looking back at what their idols were doing. czcams.com/video/wvRxXvitACk/video.html
What I enjoy most about seeing something like this is watching these great musicians turn into teenagers with their enthusiasm. James is just a treasure. Another clip I just love of James Burton is when he was performing in the studio with Rick Nelsons twin sons, Matthew and Gunnar. The joy on their faces is amazing. You could tell it was very special for James also. Thanks for everything James!!
James Burton is not only one of the pioneers of rock and roll guitar he is also one of the greatest players. When his fans include Brian May, Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards and John Fogerty you know he is a special talent!!! God bless you James!!!
@@micheleprobst8879 Cheers... On 2nd thought... Ricky Nelson did usually appear onstage with an acoustic guitar, I believe, even though James Burton did all the magical stuff...
Always great to see legends but thsi time awesome to see Arielle playimg with her heroes and being invited by them to perform along with her friend Brian - what an awesome night and exposure for such a talented artist she is and what a great night she had with friends and idols - finally performing in the spotlight where she deserves as well- Thanks James and Bri fro having her on.
Arielle is just amazing as a singer, songwriter, guitarist. To cap it off she is a humble and caring human being. Cant wait to see where life takes her.
I just adore Brian May....🌈 and this living tribute is 😅so sweet (just like May). I always find the homage these English rock gods pay to those that came before them, to be so touching & beautiful. Keef & Woody when they played with Muddy, Beck & his Scotty Moore and of course Clapton and Buddy Guy. Respect to ALL🌟
Wow, what a time tested hero to myself and thousands of other guitarists! Recording with Ricky,Elvis, Merle, Emmylou and countless other great artists, thank you Sir James for all the tasty hot licks you shared with us.
Great to see him bouncing back and still kicking/playing.🎸 He had a very rough 2022. He had Covid last summer, they found cancer in a kidney, surgery to remove the kidney, then he fell and broke a hip. That’s one tough dude standing there👍. I’m sure Ricky , Merle, Elvis , and John are all patting him on the back right now. Rock on James.🎸🎸
Brilliant.. Love when great musicians respect other great musicians, how it should be! You can't beat the old-school guys..All got their own styles 👍😎🏴🇬🇧
I had ZERO idea that James was healthy enough to do this! Just months ago we were wondering if he would ever leave the hospital alive. This is great news!
Hi James, happy birthday. I saw you in Laa an der Thaya in Austria and was able to say a few words to you and take a picture together. I will forever remember being able to get to know such a great person and musician as you personally. God bless you.
I met James Burton in a bar in Melbourne Australia in 2000 . He honestly was one of the most nicest, humblest man I've ever met . Super friendly and relaxed . The Legend even gave me his business card
Brian te amo. Amo a Elvis Presley. Amo a Freddie y te agradezco tu talento y humildad. Eres maravilloso al integrar a tu equipo ese día a ese guitarrista divino de Elvis en las vegas. James burton. Gracias te amo mi megarokstar.. adoro a Queen....
Having James Burton in his band was what set Ricky Nelson apart from the other “teen idols” of the ‘50s. That and his incredible vocals, his uncanny ability to pick fantastic songs, and his genuine love of rock and roll, rockabilly and R&B. He was definitely one of the best.
James! Keith Richards said he didn’t buy Ricky Nelson records.. he bought James Burton records.. BTW the lyrics of ‘hello Marylou’mwere written almost in their entirety by Gene Pitney.
Ascolto questo brano e vedo Freddie sul palco con il cappello della polizia inglese e mi si apre il cuore grandissimo Brian Forever 💝💝❤️💝💝♥️❤️💋💋💔💔💔👑🥇🥁🥇♥️♥️💋💋💋
I was 14 years old in 1980 and had just stood in front of Queen for nearly three hours. And after the show i was standing behind the old Seattle Center Coliseum and Brian May walked out of the backstage door and up to a group of about six of us so were standing around. What a night.
brian may a toujours été un gars formidable , guitariste hors norme, ron wood est très apprécié dans le monde musical en général et en Amérique 🇺🇸. QUEEN-- LES -STONES. c, est pas des quiches . la retraite pour eux ???? pauvre CGT . eux ils sont là,,,,,toujours là. 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸💐💐☀️☀️☀️🇲🇨
When guitarist of Queen & Rolling Stones pay homage & respect to you, Mr.James Burton,you are CREAM de la CREAM of guitar players.Elvis would be so proud, looking down from Heaven ❤❤❤
and so would Ricky Nelson and Bob Luman where he got his start when he was 15 or 16 years old.
It's actually...creme de la creme...js 🙂
And Gram Parsons
@@jimmycoleman5853 Thanks Will check out who is he?
@@jimmycoleman5853 Who is he?
Mr. Burton's still got it at 83. We should all be so blessed.
Play it JB!
Bellissima performance per una canzone molto bella!😊😍😘🎶🎸🎶💘💓💕💋💯🌅🍀
Thank you ! Great to see JB in 2023!

I agree. And also Carl Perkins too.
@@GiveMeYour-BlackAbalone I was going to add Perkins to this list. Good catch.

Brian may of queen inspired by Keith Richards of the rolling stones
Queen played it in Wembley as an acoustic piece if I am not mistaken
Brian may you are nice guys in the world
Subang oh I'm watching the super Mario movie by Nintendo illumination

Yeah James! God bless you James and all the great music you’ve brought to us and bring us.
James Burton is not only one of the pioneers of rock and roll guitar he is also one of the greatest players. When his fans include Brian May, Ronnie Wood, Keith Richards and John Fogerty you know he is a special talent!!! God bless you James!!!
I’ve heard Page, Clapton and Springsteen speak reverently about Burton also. And the guys from the Traveling Wilburys
George Harrison was a huge fan, too.
On one hand.. is brilliant and amazing..and on the other... enjoy this while we can ...😎✌
An adorable video. And I love Elvis and James Burton
Amazing musicians and unique guitarists!!!❤🎸❤🎸❤🎸❤🎸❤
I’m so glad that James burton is doing well again
for those who don't know, James Burton played lead guitar on the 1957 hit Suzie Q....he was present at the beginning of rock and roll
WoW!!! ❤ James Burton and Ronnie Wood with Brian!!! ❤ Beautiful skewer

HOLA MICHELE ❤❤❤AMIGA 🇦🇷🇫🇷🎸🎸🎵🎵
@@mariateresacarluccio4104 Hello Maria Teresa 😃😘🩷🙋♀️
Yeah, and Brian's basically being "Ricky" here. No guitar and grabbing the mic as the lead singer. Don't see that too often.
@@Itelkner Yes! Very rare to see that! Greetings from France 🙋♀️
@@micheleprobst8879 Cheers...
On 2nd thought... Ricky Nelson did usually appear onstage with an acoustic guitar, I believe, even though James Burton did all the magical stuff...
Brian May,Ronnie Wood and James Burton, 3 powerful singers and players out of any context,they could play and sing without pause.Congratulations.
Always great to see legends but thsi time awesome to see Arielle playimg with her heroes and being invited by them to perform along with her friend Brian - what an awesome night and exposure for such a talented artist she is and what a great night she had with friends and idols - finally performing in the spotlight where she deserves as well- Thanks James and Bri fro having her on.

James Burton was an absolute monster player in his day. There was nobody better..
Great to see him bouncing back and still kicking/playing.🎸
He had a very rough 2022. He had Covid last summer, they found cancer in a kidney, surgery to remove the kidney, then he fell and broke a hip. That’s one tough dude standing there👍. I’m sure Ricky , Merle, Elvis , and John are all patting him on the back right now.
Rock on James.🎸🎸
Nice comment THANKS!
He was great although he performed seated most of the show still delivering..I'll never forget being there

At this point, just getting to see any of the remaining legends, even do 1 song, is an event worth seeing.
Glad you got to see him!👍👌🎸

Hi James, happy birthday. I saw you in Laa an der Thaya in Austria and was able to say a few words to you and take a picture together. I will forever remember being able to get to know such a great person and musician as you personally. God bless you.
The Shirt Brain May use I designed and got made as a gift for James Burton for one of the shows I did with him in Norway :)) that's cool

One of my late Mum's favourite songs, still going strong!
I never realized how much vertical space Brian May occupies.
I just love how they enjoy doing this
great player, great guy, JB.
Great pickin´yet Mr. Burton !!
Thank you very much superb interpretation .much appreciated.. ... musically +1+1
Thank you 😊 merry christmas 🎉
What an astounding evening. Rock and Roll history in front of us. All the more emotional when you realise James’ son Jeff died in 2019.
and for those who don't know, the female guitarist on the right of Ronnie is Jeff's daughter Taylor-it's a family business for sure.
I met James Burton in a bar in Melbourne Australia in 2000 .
He honestly was one of the most nicest, humblest man I've ever met . Super friendly and relaxed .
The Legend even gave me his business card
Brian te amo. Amo a Elvis Presley. Amo a Freddie y te agradezco tu talento y humildad. Eres maravilloso al integrar a tu equipo ese día a ese guitarrista divino de Elvis en las vegas. James burton. Gracias te amo mi megarokstar.. adoro a Queen....
Yaaaay Ronnie Wood 🤘🏻🕶🤘🏻🎸
Met him in 1985....a true gentleman and outstanding musician!
JB - King of the telecaster. Absolute legend.
Bravo🎉
Great artistr🎉
My homie from Shreveport! What a talent! It's great to see him getting his due!
Great show.
Great to hear James Burton. No one does the lead on this song like him.
Very good James!!!
Having James Burton in his band was what set Ricky Nelson apart from the other “teen idols” of the ‘50s. That and his incredible vocals, his uncanny ability to pick fantastic songs, and his genuine love of rock and roll, rockabilly and R&B. He was definitely one of the best.
So cool! I just wish there weren't four other guitarists and a horn section drowning him out for most of the song.
JB at 83 keep Rockabilling.
James!
Keith Richards said he didn’t buy Ricky Nelson records.. he bought James Burton records..
BTW the lyrics of ‘hello Marylou’mwere written almost in their entirety by Gene Pitney.
I always bought Ricky Nelson and James Burton records....nothin' wrong about Ricky Nelson!
the full show would be great... 😛
Ascolto questo brano e vedo Freddie sul palco con il cappello della polizia inglese e mi si apre il cuore grandissimo Brian Forever 💝💝❤️💝💝♥️❤️💋💋💔💔💔👑🥇🥁🥇♥️♥️💋💋💋
