Artist: Flying Burrito Brothers Song: Christine's Tune Album: The Gilded Palace of Sin (1969) Gram Parsons Chris Hillman "Sneaky" Pete Kleinow Chris Ethridge
@@davidhamilton6428 one of the best! He helped animate “Gumby” as well. So all the crazy sounds on that show make a lot more sense after hearing him play the steel with fuzz.
Its what I came for, my dose of Sneaky Pete! What kills me is he uses both the traditional country style clean sound, but is way busier than Chet Atkins would have ever let anyone run on steel in his studio lol. And then he goes into that overdriven sacred steel style, that’s almost blues but also kind of a jazz skronk to it. Just like the Burritos as a whole, SP used the steel guitar to make a whole new sound while staying true to its roots at the same time.
Gram Parsons has to be entered in the ROCK N ROLL hall of FAME and the COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME. The man, Gram Parsons was, is and always be a star for his writing, performance influence on country and Rock. We wouldn't have Emmy Lou Harris, Poco, America, the Eagles without Gram Parsons talent and ability to blend country and Rock. Please. He deserves this honour.
Polly Parsons, Condolences to you. I loved your Dad's music and performance. Let's rally to get your Dad honoured as he should already have been. Let's do what we can do to get Gram into the Rock n Roll hall of Fame and the Country music hall of fame. He deserves every bit of this honour. ❤
Chris Hillman shows up everywhere doesn't he?.....The Zelig of country rock. Incredible pedal steel from Sneaky Pete. The interactions between Gram and Chris are quite entertaining.
Gram was way way ahead of his time, he had a vision that people did not see or imagine until many many years later. He was a musical genius, people are just now finding out how good he really was....God rest your soul Gram, you will never be forgotten
I fully agree with what you wrote. Gram musical genius. His music always current,ageless,engaging and magical. I hope that many will notice his skill and that they can repay him for the disappointments suffered. Impossible to forget! What his soul rest in peace for eternity!
I mention my age because others had brought up how old they arereplys about this song. I grew up with this music but it seems to be growing in the hearts of younger people too!
Got this album in '69 right after I heard it. Wore out the first one. My wife (ex) stole the second one. My daughter took my third one and most of my Emmylou albums when she went to college. Never saw those again. Still loving this great music.
Hypnotic, magical... Gram did indeed do "cosmic American music". I'm sane and all but I traveled once to Woodbine GA and with awe walked the same streets he'd walked, and spent the night with some locals out in the woods eating squirrels... My way of paying homage to him I guess. Watching this video and others you see what an incredible amount of energy he had and spirit.
Gram pioneered Country influenced rock and contributed to straight country music. The dude literally influenced both rock artists and country artists. He needs to be remembered and celebrated
This band is a huge influence on my own style. If you like them, you may like my band the Long Goodbyes, but we are a bit more straight ahead country than this
yessir! good admission of 'failure'----has to do w/ vulnerability? strength +...? scorpionic depth of southern soul! chris's voice here also swell & the combo = 7th heaven. lucky i saw gram in boulder w/ emmylou....
This is still the coolest thing I've ever seen. I credit this song and video with getting me back into country music, so much so that I started my own band called Way Behind The Sun. My parents have a traditional country band, and that's the stuff I was raised on, but I strayed away to metal and hard rock in my college years...then my little brother (our band's bass player) showed me this, and took me back "home." It just "hit differently" as the kids say. I was so moved, it was all I listened to. Now I'm all in, and I always will be. Best music ever!
I'm trying to figure out how to combine metal and country. The problem with modern country is half the back up bands look like rock musicians. Faux hawks and crap like that. Bring back nudie suits!! I love the look and sound
Sneaky Pete was inducted into the Pedal Steel Guitar Hall Of Fame last year. It is reported that he is the most listened to pedal steel guitarist of all time with the work he did with FBB and all the other sessions he did with other artists on rock/country rock hits. For instance Joe Cocker's She Came In Through The Bathroom Window...and many others.
@@charlottebrooks3671 i think he's overlooked by the music establishment but not by other musicians and by many fans. They all appreciate his talent, heart, and courage.
I heard this album at a friend's house in the summer of 1979, and it blew me away. It was the first country record I ever bought. GP was a brilliant talent who fell far too early. What a shame, because he was a class act.
Put Gram Parsons in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame NOW!!! He not only helped get country rock started, but he even was credited as being an influence on punk due to his back to basics approach.
+Brian Washington Incredible indeed that this is still not the fact! He was such a gifted musician, sad that his problems with dealing with life took him away so early.
Yep. In fact, he actually made the final 12 about ten years ago, but he didn't make the cut. You think with Jann Wiener, who likes underrated artists, he would have been in years ago.
+Brian Washington Absolutely, he is definitely a Hall of Famer. With his perfect teeth and baby face (and of course his music), he should be a shoo in!
I still remember the first time I heard this song something like 15 years ago. I was blown away, it was a sound I hadnt heard before. It still blows me away every time since
When this album finally clicks for you your head'll explode. What they were attempting here was very daring at the time, and today we take it for granted. Its a masterpiece and this band deserves way more honor than they've gotten.
So simple, yet so clever. The harmonies are absolutely heavenly. I have heard a lot of 60's and 70's country. Nothing compares to this. Sin City, it just takes me away to another time. A better time. Now that I have found this type of music, I will search for it forever.
Sneaky Pete Rocked his Pedal Steel, NOT lap steel. My husband has played Pedal Steel for over 40 years, he attended Sneaky's memorial in Joshua Tree and met his daughters. They still speak to this day!!! Love ❤️ you Gram, you cupcake!!! 😻
I only got a laptop this week and I nearly had a heart attack when I saw this on CZcams! I can't believe the fantastic stuff I'm watching! You guys are the champs and the Burritos were the coolest band that walked the planet. Wow!
Why this doesn't get airplay, for sheer musical quality if nothing else, is beyond me. This has been viewed and favorited more times than much of today's garbage on here. Thank goodness for that at least.
There’s music today that takes cues from music like this, it’s just going to take some digging. My band is influenced by this sound, and if you enjoy this you may like Lawrence Tome, who’s an up and comer in the Chicago scene.
One great band, and the original line up too! They (with Bernie Leadon and Rick Roberts) were last minute replacements for another band at City College of New York. I was working for the student center and caught the sound check. I always thought the pedal steel was just a comic instrument, until I heard Pete do "Mr. Sandman". WOW! Got a chance to talk to him about why he used a single neck when Jerry Garcia used a double neck and so on. Hearing them was a real life changer for me!
Poco could also lay claim to creating Country Rock. Both formed in later 1968, in the LA area. Although the FBB's first album came out (Feb 1969), three months before Poco's first (Pickin' Up The Pieces), "Pieces" was by far the more popular - and commercially successful - of the two LPs.
The dueling harmonies, the fuzzed out pedal steel, the foot-stomping rhythm. Hell even Chris's offstage glare at 0:35. All apart of that lost but beautiful and never forgotten genius of 'Cosmic Americana'
It’s still here! Daniel Donato does music like this, and a few Sturgill albums have touches of it. So does my own band, Zack Fedor and the Long Goodbyes
love it. not a country music person at heart but as he has used the term cosmic American music this is so cool. Very underrated Gram Parsons and belongs in the r and r hof.
Priceless...my Favorite Vid..Always a Treat..Praise & Homage to The One with "Far Away Eyes" wrote w Keith Richards...buried.. under Joshua 🌳Tree...Ingrid. we LOVE You 💘
everytime i see gram parsons i think back to the time i saw him in Austin, Texas, close to where i was born and raised...wonderful voice, i sure miss him...
Sneaky died? I never knew that. Great shame. The first time I ever heard his pedal steel I was hypnotised..like many others I guess. I saw the Burritos here in England..the acoustics were playing havoc feedback-wise with the violin so Pete sort of doubled up...awesome
It's so great to see video of Gram - such a prolific artist for someone that died so young. Like Hank Williams, he left a legacy beyond his short time with us. RIP Gram.
I sent Chris an email about 10 years ago stating that very sentiment. He promptly replied saying "That is nicest thing anyone has told me all year. Thank you". I thought about it for a few minutes then remembered that it was January 1st! I responded telling him I would resend that email in July...
I was at a Byrds club gig in London,1968. Backstage Gram Parsons was badly wasted on an ampoule he was handing around. McGuinn was really pissed off with him: he'd taken over from Crosby as McGuinn's nightmare. Jagger and McCartney were at the gig and that was when Gram hooked up with the Stones. McGuinn threw him out of the Byrds soon after, opening the way for the Burritos, but the Stones connection led to Gram losing interest in the Burritos too. Another beautiful guy too gifted to cope. RIP.
After hearing this song on the radio back in 1969, I would have bought " The Gilded Palace of Sin" without knowing that Parsons & Hillman were in the band. I still play the hell out of this album & especially this song.🤗
@@eufordking4428 : "Summer of 69"✌ I purchased this album at King Karol along with Neal Young's "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere" & Poco's "Pickin Up The Pieces." I still listen to these 2 albums also.👍 However, The Buritto's album has improved with age.
I love the way the musicianship is amazing but at the same time there is this awesome tongue in cheek quality to the whole video, like the way sneaky Pete has this grin as they pan away from him with that ridiculous hat
This timeless song epitomizes the great music back then that today can’t seem to emulate. These guys played naturally without technology being the sole producer of this symphonic sound - plus the lyrics are great! Simply awesome classic
For me This band paved the straight line between the Rock and Country! The way to play Pedal Steel Guitar with Fuzz is such incredible! Gram Parsons was the genuine Outlaw Country star!
Next time I go to visit my Mom in 29 Palms I'm going to listen to Gram as I drive through the Joshua Tree National Monument. I figure that is the closest I can come to meeting him.
I’m in the middle of reading Chris Hillman’s book, “Time Between”… I wanted to get a look at the stage suits they had made up, came across this song which I’ve never heard before - fantastic! Will definitely be checking out more of their material! Love those Sneaky Pete solos!
It’s cool how grahams voice cracks during the final chorus and he clears his throat but the take is so good they keep it
Yes! This is the best kind of country!
Now that's some steel playing you won't here on any other country western tune. Would have made Hendrix proud.
Chris Hillman - one of the most underrated music makers in the popular canon.
I can’t get over the steel guitar on this. It’s perfect.
Sneaky pete is amazing. :D
@@augustusbetucius1572 He's playing a Fender 400, which has 4 pedals but no knee levers.
@@davidhamilton6428 one of the best! He helped animate “Gumby” as well. So all the crazy sounds on that show make a lot more sense after hearing him play the steel with fuzz.
I love the steel as well just perfect from ripping g lead to accompany
Its what I came for, my dose of Sneaky Pete! What kills me is he uses both the traditional country style clean sound, but is way busier than Chet Atkins would have ever let anyone run on steel in his studio lol. And then he goes into that overdriven sacred steel style, that’s almost blues but also kind of a jazz skronk to it. Just like the Burritos as a whole, SP used the steel guitar to make a whole new sound while staying true to its roots at the same time.
Psychedelic Country, marvelous!!!
Chris and Gram were phenomenal and Sneaky Pete had a style of playing that was quite unique.
I hear POCO, I hear. CSNY, GRAM PARSONS influence all over rock n roll. We were and have never been the same. Thank you Gram Parsons!❤

I agree he should be there but I thoughy Poco was already going.
Chris Hillman shows up everywhere doesn't he?.....The Zelig of country rock.
Incredible pedal steel from Sneaky Pete.
The interactions between Gram and Chris are quite entertaining.
Gram Parsons finger picked like most awesome guitar players. I cry when I think of what could have been if he had lived.
Gram was so awesome. Wish he could have defeated his demons and continued to create. Love you Gram.
Pray for gram always
Gram was way way ahead of his time, he had a vision that people did not see or imagine until many many years later. He was a musical genius, people are just now finding out how good he really was....God rest your soul Gram, you will never be forgotten

BALL'S >>>> " people are just now finding out how good he really was".... May be true of you BUT some of us have listened to him from way back when.
Agreed
@@isabellatunzi5787 I have said the same. His music never sounds "old"
I saw Gram and Emmylou at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby in August of 1973.
One month later he was dead in Joshua Tree.
The Guilded Palace of Sin is such a stellar album. The Burrito's beautiful fusion of rock and country opened new doors.
Compared to the music they are calling “country” now, this stuff is Solid Country Gold!
What a killer tune. Just noticed that Gram strums sometimes with his pointer finger downwards, just like Jim Messina.
Gram single handedly got me into country finally. Can’t thank him enough for it.
Yes I would have never heard or heard of the Louvin brothers were it not for gram god bless you gram
I mention my age because others had brought up how old they arereplys about this song. I grew up with this music but it seems to be growing in the hearts of younger people too!
All the original Burritos have passed away except Chris Hillman...what a group...over a million views...Gram could still pack 'em in today.....
Damn, I'm getting old....
Got this album in '69 right after I heard it. Wore out the first one. My wife (ex) stole the second one. My daughter took my third one and most of my Emmylou albums when she went to college. Never saw those again. Still loving this great music.
Hillman and Parsons together were magic! Love this song.
Hillman was also a good match with Stephen Still in Manassas.
maravilha!! ❤️❤️🇧🇷

I just discovered this band and I'm in love!

there's some undescribable quality about Gram Parsons' voice that makes it so wonderful

chris's voice here also swell & the combo = 7th heaven. lucky i saw gram in boulder w/ emmylou....

keep up the good work! Your band sounds great
I never get tired of Sneaky Pete’s psychedelic country.
original drummer of the Byrds Michael Clarke also on the video.
.... and Chris Ethridge on bass!

I don’t know how I missed Graham through the years. Just found out. Wow!!!
Gram Parsons is the Godfather of Alternative Country......what an iconic figure with amazing teeth.
And hair.
He deserves so much recognition…yet he’s so overlooked….
@@charlottebrooks3671 i think he's overlooked by the music establishment but not by other musicians and by many fans. They all appreciate his talent, heart, and courage.
Yes... his teeth definitely deserve more recognition.
Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman - what a combination!
that was one hell of a good song. hillman and parsons nailed it
No one can compare
One of my favorite tunes
Gram changed the world of music. Because of him, a whole new generation of music was created. And that was the world of Country pop music.
Love this song 🎵 ❤️
I heard this album at a friend's house in the summer of 1979, and it blew me away. It was the first country record I ever bought.
GP was a brilliant talent who fell far too early. What a shame, because he was a class act.
I would feel better about life if this had 3 000 000 views...

+Brian Washington If his Nudie Suit is there and a few Guitars of his plus Album Covers Why not Him?
Here here. Thank you. If they think his suits belong in the hall he should be in there as well.
+Brian Washington Absolutely, he is definitely a Hall of Famer. With his perfect teeth and baby face (and of course his music), he should be a shoo in!
Gram was so beautiful and had so much charisma, all you see is him.....so talented.
Whatever the "it factor" is, Gram Parsons oozed it. The man was born a star.
So much talent and so handsome
I won't state how old I was when I first heard this, but bloody WOW! It's timeless!
I still remember the first time I heard this song something like 15 years ago. I was blown away, it was a sound I hadnt heard before. It still blows me away every time since
such an underated band ..sneaky pete..was amazing and graham was a beutiful cat..chris hillman ..part of so many amazing bands...
the Flying Burrito Bros. are one of the most underrated bands I can think of

Such a great song. The drums, the guitar, the singing. No wonder why these guys are one of my favorite bands.
first time hearing this lost group! I like them!
This is the most rock sounding steel guitar I’ve ever heard on a country track!!!
You not heard Poco then?
Sneaky Pete Rocked his Pedal Steel, NOT lap steel. My husband has played Pedal Steel for over 40 years, he attended Sneaky's memorial in Joshua Tree and met his daughters. They still speak to this day!!! Love ❤️ you Gram, you cupcake!!! 😻

The FBB brought out the best in Parsons. After 40 years, their music is more alive than any modern country/rock around today.

A perfect evocation of era and genre. Absolutely seminal with GP giving it plenty of his legendary attitude.
Always thought Chris Hillman was underrated for all his accomplishments with the Byrds, FBB, and his own band
Check out The Desert Rose Band where he really shone.
I sent Chris an email about 10 years ago stating that very sentiment. He promptly replied saying "That is nicest thing anyone has told me all year. Thank you". I thought about it for a few minutes then remembered that it was January 1st! I responded telling him I would resend that email in July...
Don't forget Manassas!
Matt Stefon chriss hilman is god no one knows who he is
Heard of Desert Rose
Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons proving that 1 + 1 sometimes makes more than 2.
great collection of musicians and song writers
forget the get-ups
sign of the times
just listen
to the music
Excellent artistry
vote Gram into Country Music Hall of Fame--love your Cosmic American Music
Sweetly singing with the angels--RIP Gram--Michael Vento Palm Desert,Ca.
one of the best bands ever.

For me This band paved the straight line between the Rock and Country! The way to play Pedal Steel Guitar with Fuzz is such incredible!
Gram Parsons was the genuine Outlaw Country star!
My sister embroidered those costumes--she had no idea who Nudie wanted them for!!
Why are you lying? You have to be 90 for that to be true. But it's clearly false!
Acid country music. Good stuff
A fantastic album!
Absolute classic!
An awesome country -rock song !
Happy Birthday Gram.
🤠⭐You're right. The Cosmic Cowboy!
Next time I go to visit my Mom in 29 Palms I'm going to listen to Gram as I drive through the Joshua Tree National Monument. I figure that is the closest I can come to meeting him.
Memory eternal Gram Parsons!!!! His duets w/ Emmylou Harris truly amazing!!
I agree 100%. Magical!
Exceptional musicians!! Great band!
Indeed, I just spent everyday with him for the past two weeks. May he rest in peacefully with a bass guitar in the sky.
This is the perfect merger of country and rock.

I’m in the middle of reading Chris Hillman’s book, “Time Between”… I wanted to get a look at the stage suits they had made up, came across this song which I’ve never heard before - fantastic! Will definitely be checking out more of their material! Love those Sneaky Pete solos!
How's the book?
@@IwotchVid3oz A very good read. Highly recommend it if you’re a fan!
Classic 1969!
Chris Ethridge and Pete Keinow are fantastic here;It is them that give the rythm with the strong Bass. Bravo Chris !
Pure Magic ! This music will live forever. Don´t try to categorize it as Rock or Country. It´s way beyond that. Totally innovative ! Wow !
