Classic Tom Brumley!
This link might have been posted before, but since Google is about to acquire YouTube, stuff like this probably won't be available for long... |

Killer!! And Don Rich!!! It's funny to see them singing 3 feet from the mic. Must have drove the sound tech nuts, or else they were lip synching.

| No, it was for real (the singing, that is); sometimes you might catch a glimpse of the shadow of an overhead microphone being held on a pole by a crew member. I own copies of all of the available Buck Owens Ranch Show episodes, but only a couple of those episodes have the shadow that I mentioned. I, too, used to wander about that microphone and the singing until I saw the shadow. |

Nice clip.
I would say that the EV 666 mic they are singing in is the only mic for the vocals and guitar. The Steel is miced and there is a floor mic on Richs Fender amp and the bass and drums are probably not, just bleeding into the other mics. That balances the audio very well. They are playing extremely quite as you can see by the fact that there are no monitors---yes there was a time when bands did play quiet and that left a lot of space when it came to balancing mics and needing far less to acheive far more.
In regards to the EV mic they are using, George Benson used that mic to cut the scratch vocal on "This Masquerade" which became a huge hit for him. The demo vocal was so good that they just used it! His next couple of records George demanded that that mic be used and it just drove the engineers crazy to use a $100 mic instead of a nice expensive German condenser. |

"Together Again" is the song that made me want to play the steel but I never understood the mood of the music background.
"WE ARE TOGETHER AGAIN! WOW!!"
Why does the music sound so sad?
Great country song thought. Probably one of the greatest of all time. |

Listening to a version by Emmy Lou Harris my wife commented that it sounded like a couple who keep breaking-up over and over, dancing a slow-dance at the end of a long night at the bar.

| Buck and Don sounded like one voice, didn't they? |

| Dwight Yoakam and his guitarist Eddie Perez are keeping this fine harmony tradition alive. If you get a chance to check out Dwight's show, go! If you love this style of "locked-in" harmony, you'll love Dwight and Eddie singing together. They do many of the Buck hits in the show. |

| Mike-Thanks for posting that. To me that is the quintessence of what a pedal steel guitar should sound like. Perfect! |

Talk about perfect harmony. Don was special for sure.
What is that red across Tom's pedal bar? |
