- Chet Atkins played and featured each of these artists, plus Larry Carlton on the sixth Austin City Limits program of 1987. Sorry, but I missed recording Carlton's set. Thom Bresh's set has been posted elsewhere on CZcams in a good recording. Nevertheless, I included my recording of it here, plus the rest of the program, featuring Gimble, Thomson and Ostroushko.
Makes my heart feel 20 years old again!
Right on!! Amazing brilliant talent ! I really miss these guys. Chet Atkins. 🥹🤣I’ll see you in my dreams
I love anything that Chet and his friends play. Just solid guitar and fiddling music.
thom Bresh, was a great performer, died much to young , playing together with tommy emmanuel is an absolute joy to see and hear, r.i.p. thom.
The set with Gimble, Ostroushko, and Thompson is AWESOME!!! I used to have the whole show on VHS but lost it years ago.
Thanks for your comment, Edward. I'm glad to know that people are enjoying something they might not otherwise get to see had my recording not survived. Now, if we can just find Larry Carlton's set.
This Austin City Limits episode is from Season 12 in 1987, featuring Thom Bresh, Johnny Gimble, Butch Thompson, Larry Carlton, and Peter Ostroushko.🙂
Enjoyed every moment of this performance
Glad you enjoyed it, Serge. Sorry, I missed recording Larry Carlton's set.
Thom has gone such a sad day . Long may he live such a great entertainer . So sad
I loved this show and had it on VHS for many years.
Chet Atkins you're The One!!!Very, Very Good!!!
Great entertainment, thanks for uploading this!
Unsterbliche Musikanten
@@karlheinzpfeffer4432 I don't speak German. Does that mean "Immortal Musicians"?
Farewell...
My Bluebelle and
Likewise to Mr. Bresh!

Thank you for posting this. I hadn’t seen it before and am really enjoying it. So many of them are gone now but thanks to video we can enjoy them forever.
Love you guys!
Old gold pieces..
At 27:34 -- LMAO!! Mainly because it had to have surprised the audience that casual Chet (Mr. Lack of Excitement) had a great sense of humor
Back in those days you could count on this level of talent showing up on this show at any given time. This was one of the good ones. Thanks for sharing.
I have given up on the Austin City Limits show. There is nothing of value on it anymore unless they are doing reruns and you are lucky enough to catch an older show. Bluegrass Underground has tried to replicate it but it just doesn't get it.
Legendary musicians each with God given talents few are blessed to possess.
I have this whole show taped when it aired on PBS. Love it. Chet Plays Kentucky and Larry Carlton also plays with Chet.
I would love to see the Carlton set, which somehow I failed to record.
I used to have it as well but sadly it's long gone. I also had a special hosted by banjo picker, Mike Snyder, with Doyle Dykes and many others that I cannot find anywhere. I see excerpts, but never the show in its entirety.
Thank you
Thank YOU, Francis. Glad you enjoyed it.
I didn't catch the name of the rag tune after Chet and Thom played but I've always loved this rendition. Especially Butch Thompson's solos on piano. He just made it look so effortless. And that blasay look he has on his face is priceless. I once showed it to a lady friend and said "He can sure play piano".
Black & White Rag? Chet had snippets of it on an album he did with Doc Watson (Reflections)
That Rag song was "Horizontal Hold". Great Rag tune! Hope this helps.
The Rag tune was "Horizontal Hold". Great Rag tune Too!
Butch played Charleston Rag
So good to hear from
So.nice.so.good
Gimble ,such a delight..
Belive it or not my cat Salem just sat and listened to this whole program with me looks like she has good taste.
I saw thom brush and his dad merle in concert they were really good.
1000 Bravos pour Thom Bresh Blues Man to the bone !!
Looks like Chet is playing the Gibson that was designed to replace the Tennessean or Country Gentleman by Gretsch. Gibson guitars were very classy and Easy to play.
Chet and a Clarinet, only he could make it work!
Концерт замечательный!
Даже Чет играет на ирландской скрипке.☻
Ещё пианист понравился с рэгтаймом.
Google translation: "The concert is wonderful!
Even Chet plays the Irish violin.☻
I also liked the pianist with ragtime."
@@pianopappy, Incorrect translation!
Here's the right one:

@@user-ik1sw2ns3n Thanks--but it looks to me that it is, word-for-word, the same as the Google translation. Glad you liked the program.
@@pianopappy, Thanks. That's right.

Thom met his musical soul mate with Buster B Jones.
Those boys could flat out wear it out.
Johnny Gamble always looked like the cat that ate the canary. Because he did exactly that.
Thom sings and sounds much like Merle
too bad Thom had to sell that guitar. i heard he only got 250 k for it. Imagine THE guitar the Master had for all those years. Thom made it ring . and now it is on a wealthy mans shelf.
What is the first song Thom
Bresh plays?
32:55 Keep waiting for the Jews Harp to come into the action!
He knows that song. 27:16
Strangest looking Martin HeadstockI ever did see....the rest of it sounds OK though.
That's a Bigsby headstock on Merle's D28 that Thom is playing, I believe. Martin came out with a re-issue a few years ago I think.
Good old days !
