Thanks, Larry.
Looks like Wembley, early '80s.?
Lloyd prformed there at the Country festivals on several occasions in the '70s and '80s.

What great audio and camera work. I felt like I was standing right in front of Lloyd watching him pick. One of the Great One's. Who's gonna fill their shoes???

Nothing short of superb. That's the best video I've ever seen of Lloyd Green - up close and personal. Apparently the camera director knew a little about pedal steel. Great angles and camera shots. That was quite a treat.

What great sets Llolyd did at the wembley festivals.
The promoter Mervyn Conn brought us many of the great names from the U.S.
The BBC broadcast the highlights of the festival and we got six half hour programmes every year.
What a pity the BBC dont give us any country music now on a regular basis.
It is good to see this video of Lloyd green again , I had all of the festivals on video tape but over the years some have been lost , accdentally recorded over or are worn out from over use.

I noticed the pedal movement too. It didn't look like his pedals (A or B) moved more than 1/4 inch, 1/2 max. That 'Bud but be set up really tight.

Thank you!! What a video. It is one of those classics. A keeper for sure.

Crowbear, from what I have read, Lloyd does not pick block. I read some place that he accomplishes his fast blocking with his palm. But then he is the one who invented 'chicken pickin'.

The interesting part is to study his right hand. He accomplishes his clean playing and super blocking totally contrary to 'set rules'. The way we have learned to palm block is to lift the arm at the elbow, ie use the whole arm.
Not Lloyd...he moves his hand at the wrist.
But that's Lloyd!

Classic!

Excellent camera...and the playing...wow! I usually download and save those vids once a week, this one made me stop what I was doing and start the download immediately, being afraid that it could disappear before download...

Kind Regards, Walter

Does anyone know if the rest of his performance was captured on video?

Jody Sanders · Post by **Jody Sanders** » 30 Apr 2008 6:55 pm

Lloyd ain't never played anything that wasn't fantastic. Jody.
