Thanks for posting this. I saw Roy Clark perform here in 1998. The man is nothing but class. He made sure that every member of the band had his/her own showpiece while he strummed in the background.
He was in the pocket all night. He really gave it his all and did everything he could to entertain. His playing was off the charts and, although he could have just phoned it in, he reached and played some challenging pieces.
It was as good a show as I have ever seen.
One of the best ever!
I thought Roy Clark,Hee Haw?
Great show,was amazed at how talented he is.
“Yesterday When I Was Young” is one of the BEST story songs ever made.
He’s a pickin and a grinnin
Thank you for posting.
I saw Roy Clark live at the Grand Ole Opry in 1998. My boss had tickets for the Opry. I really was not interested, as my musical taste tends more to actual opera. The Opry was a parade of has-beens who’d lost their voices until Roy Clark came out and did a 15 minute show. He did ‘Thank God and Greyhound You’re Gone’ and sounded as good as ever.
Roy Clark and Glen Campbell are two of the most talented musicians to ever play an instrument. The world parenthetically dismisses them because they are perceived as ‘Country AND Western’ artists, rather than the mega-talents they actually are/were. My own tastes run more to classical and rock, but both of those guys could hold their own in any company and really light up the hall.
The dude can play - still play, that is, according to those who've seen him lately.
I saw him 4 or 5 years ago in OKC. Was a great show.... He did sit on a stool most of the night. But still an awesome entertainer.
My dad was in a hunting party with him in Maryland in the late 60’s. Roy ended up passed out on the couch.
“I did my first TV appearance in 1947, on the old Dumont network,” Clark said.
Wow...67 years ago.
