How Vince Gill was in Over His Head - Talking about Sting & Brian Wilson 

LOVE Vince saying he thought he'd "made it" at 18, being able to pay the rent. The entire rest of his career has been a blessing, and he knows it. So humble, and always learning to be more of an artist, more perfect.

Vince is not only an amazing musician, songwriter, and vocalist but he's kind and humble. He's a total class act. It's too bad more superstars aren't like him.

I love the Eagles so much- I was heartbroken when Glenn died - and didn’t want anyone else to even try to sing his songs- but the respect that Vince has for Glenn made it more of him honoring the late and wonderful Eagle- and although I wish it was Glenn singing- I’m so glad it’s someone like Vince - God bless them both 🌹

Vince is a super talent and should never be nervous, but the fact that he does shows his genius and respect for music and the people that create it. He will go down in history as one of the true American Masters 👍

Vince has always been a favorite of mine-both vocally and as a guitar player, and he’s such a humble, likeable guy too. He plays very tastefully, always just the right amount, and live he really cuts loose. Awesome! I’d love to meet him…

I have been a fan of Vince Gill from way back in the Pure Prairie League days. I knew one day he was going to make it big and was so glad to see him succeed. He is a very talented individual.

I’ve loved Vince for a long, long time.... He is the epitome of Triple Threat....writes, plays, and sings at a level perfect 10 in all 3 categories. One of the most talented people in the history of the world.

Mr. Gill is so engagingly modest, but he's a pro on many levels.

Vince is a product of the true light that shines into the darkness of this fallen world...thanks Joe for helping to share this love to many...Peace💜🤴

What an incredible, high underrated artist and singer-songwriter. I grew up with his wife Amy Grant's music, such an incredible combo.

how can ANYONE not just love Vince Gill? The guy is a legendary triple threat, and his 10 plus years of hosting the CMA awards was classic Vinnie. He is just amazing in all of his endeavors. Listening to him talk about his path to his position, is also enjoyable. Yeah, I've been a fan of VG for decades. Rock on Mr. Gill.

When Vince sings harmony, I will stop in a room, in my tracks and listen. Stunning

Is there a more genuinely nice person than Vince Gill? It's particularly striking after decades of "stardom" that he's been capable of remaining so grounded and humble. Extraordinary example for us all. You can tell a lot about a man by the way he acts when he has power.

My favorite artist of all time is Brian Wilson, and Vince Gill is in my top 10. To hear Vince speak of Brian's music with such respect warms my heart and makes me proud of the incredible body of work Brian gave the world. And for those who haven't heard the work of Brian Wilson/Beach Boys after 1966 please do yourself the incredible favor of checking it out. It's not often heard because it was not commercially successful, but much of it is absolutely mind boggling in its depth and beauty. Thanks for another winner, Joe. I SO appreciate the content you are making available to the world. Someday I hope to come to Nashville and perhaps have a beer or cola with you!

Go rest high on that mountain was my grandfather's favorite song. He lost a son to an accident at the very young age of 7. My grandfather and grandmother both have grieved for years but now they are finally reunited. I'll never forget the day i walked in at my grandparents and papa was listening to this and i just hugged him and we both wept bitterly. I'll never forget that as long as i live. I thank the Lord for all those years with them

Just wonderful Joe! Vince is so talented yet humble. He’s a great story teller, looking forward to part 3.

Such a pleasure to hear Mr. Gill in conversation. He is a "landmark" musician, not only because of his talents but even more his attitudes.

what an humble person.

Vince is such a likeable, cool guy and super crazy talented! I really enjoyed the interview! 😁

Great talent, humble man, and a credit to every composer whose songs he has sung.

I had always liked Vince and finally went to a concert of his in 93/94sh. The last 20-30 minutes he cut loose on his guitar and I was absolutely amazed. I have seen most of the greats throughout the years going back to 69 or so and Vince can pretty well hang with all of them.

Sad that Vince and Janice could not continue. Respect him as a real talent and it is nice to see him open that Heart and speak about his career. Love this episode about a humble man with a gift

Love to hear Vince sing, but absolutely adore watching him play guitar. Awesome!

Vince singing “Warmth of the Sun” brings tears to my eyes. Just beautiful.

Don't worry, Vince. You can hang with Brian Wilson, Sting, or....... anybody!! You're a top-shelf musician, singer, the whole enchilada!! At the same time, I still love your humility, despite having an awesome career and awesome chops!! You rock, mister!! Thanks for sharing your talent with us!!

Vince is one of the greatest entertainers to ever come along. Sadly Nashville almost lost him like they have lost so many others. I'll never understand why they do this. It can't be a good business practice. I think Vince Gill is the greatest entertainer to ever hit Nashville. I hope Vince keeps doing what he is doing. God bless you, Vince Gill.

Really enjoyed this interview. Vince Gill is a great musician, but it nice to know he’s a such a nice person.

What a genuine guy ... and a great musician

Vince you can hold your own with any singer and songwriter!! Life long fan of Vince's!! Keep writing and keep singing!!

When he sang "Warmth of the Sun' at the Brian Wilson Tribute it brought tears to my eyes.

The Beach Boys were my favorite band back in the Sixties. I saw them many times. The Warmth of The Sun was one of my favorites songs. When you sang it on the Tribute to Brian Wilson, I cried when I heard you sing it. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍💖

Wow Joe, "this is deep" - what an understatement by Vince when he talked about Surfs Up! I've just watched a video of the 2001 Brian Wilson tribute gig at Radio City Music Hall when Vince sang that beautiful song. My God what a voice! What an extraordinary performance! Deep respect to Vince. PS the bit about Brian Wilson saying to Vince, in the wings, after the performance, that they never did that song live because it was too hard was just wonderful! Joe, just keep these treasures coming man! Especially during strange times like this when musicians are being starved of gigs, it is so wonderful to be reminded of beautiful music and gifted musicians.

I read most of the comments here and thumbed up everyone had a heartwarming story unbelievable so much greatness here

I don't listen to much country, but I want to listen to everything this guy has done. What a gentleman.

Recently I watched that performance of Vince doing "Surf's Up" on RU-vid and I was blown away. I had not previously seen this interview and found it by chance while browsing. There's very few people who can take on a very difficult challenge like that, and then go on to do so many other different things in his career. Whether it's bluegrass or country or becoming a new member of the Eagles, working as a guitar sideman or being a singer---- Vince Gill is a really talented and special artist.

Those days back in the early 90's when I was in college in Las Cruces going out country dancing 2 or 3 nights a week are some of the happiest and carefree of my life. I remember 2 songs the most from that time, Shameless, and When I Call Your Name. The first time I heard Shameless on the radio, I told my girlfriend, that song is going to change Country music, and I was an aficionado back then. It really did. Those two songs would bring tears to my eyes I remember clearly. Vince Gill, you were right there with Garth Brooks in my eyes. You have the most perfect vibrato, and most effortless high register in Country music in the past 30 years. Many thanks for the memories you have been part of.

What an excellent interview. Thanks so much for an honest, friendly and informative conversation. When I watched the performance, at first it appeared that VG was a bit nervous or tenuous. But as he progressed through the song, he just got better and better. Thanks again.

Vince, thank you! Your guitar work continues to astound me! I recently watched you on stage with Keith Urban and Chris Stapleton...I was blown away! Thank you sir and God bless!

Another great one JOE! Can’t wait for part 3. 🎤🎹 🎸

Hey Joe, thanks for yet another fantastic interview. This video is filled with so many life lessons that I will be revisiting regularly. VG is a legend.

Really enjoying this!! Can't wait for part 3!!

I had the honor to meet Vince in Sonora, California at the Tuolumne County Fairgrounds in July, 1990 when he was touring in support of When I Call Your Name. His bus had broken down and he was late for the gig. He encored twice as I recall, the first for the title track for which he received a standing ovation. I was blown away by the response, and realized that the man's career was exploding. On this tour he was already debuting the songs Look At Us, and also Pocket Full Of Gold, which also received very enthusiastic reactions from the audience that night. I got to hang out with him at two other gigs on that leg of the tour; some of the best memories of my life.

2nd! Can't wait for part # 3,thank you Joe! every time you guys mentioned a song i paused it, went and watched that song and came back to watch the rest of this interview.

another great interview Joe. Your demeanor is so perfect for this. It's so clear that all stars interviewed are super comfortable talking to you. And because of that , we get to seem them in a relaxed , natural environment.

Vince is so humble, admitting he's not expecting to be the best in every group, but learning and improving. He turned out to be as good as everybody at EVERTHING. Talent has no end when you never stop using it, and never stop learning.

My wife and I had the very great pleasure of listening to Vince several years ago on our (so far) only visit to Nashville, at the Grand Ole Opry. Thanks, Vince!

My wife and I saw Vince Gill about 5 years ago and it was amazing. He had his daughter sing with him and she was great too and then Bob Seger showed up at the end. One of my favorite shows. He seems like a class act. You too, Joe! Thanks for everything you do.

Fantastic portrait of the artist. Thanks so much for these interviews.

Mr. Gill really is that humble... I met him a few times in the late 90's and early 2000's. He is the same even when the camera is not on. A good decent person who values others.

Great part 2, I can tell yall are friends, it shows. Awesome stuff!

vince ...you nailed surfs up... best performance on that concert... and there were lots of cool songs done that nite.. i had tears when you sang that song.. thank you for doing it...

That. Was. Awesome! That had to be the fastest 20 minutes on RU-vid. Great, great interview. Vince is such a nice guy and Joe you always ask the right questions. Thanks so much!

Great story after great story. Thank you Joe for all your hard work... Helping these wonderful tales never get lost.

Have ALLLLL your records Vince!! 👍🏻😁👍🏻Both you guys flat out rock! 🤗 Thanks so much for this Joe 🥰

Great Brian Wilson story! Keep ‘em coming.

Love this man! One of the greatest

Another gem! Thanks, Joe

Thanks and Blessings Joe...... Vince is one of my favorite people. Amazing interview!

What a great musician. What a humble attitude. Bravo.

Joe, you do such great interviews because you love music deeply and it shows. It brings out deep answers from the musicians.

What a remarkable man. Genuine, sincere and honest.

I watched the video of “Surf’s Up” from the Brian Wilson tribute. I got chills! Thanks for the interview Joe!

Can't wait for Part 3 Joe. Great interview.

Great interview!

Wow, great interview with Vince! As others have stated, he is so humble! His unabashed admiration of other musicians is clearly proof of his humility! I just finished listening to his performance with Sting on Crossroads and his performance of Surfs Up with Webb and Crosby, Vince’s voice is tops! As always, thanks Joe!💫

Thank you for covering these people that are just like forgotten or under the water you're bringing them to the surface and making it known thank you thank you thank you a very appreciative person

what a great interview, Joe, you showed a great humble side to Vince gill. great job!

There are not enough thumbs up that can be given for such a warm and intriguing interview! It felt like I was eavesdropping on two beloved friends❤️

Great interview of a great musician! Thanks again!❤

Love these videos, Joe, thank you for all your hard work! 🇺🇸🎻

Why is anybody giving these videos a thumb down when the questions are so genuine and the moment is so superb with these artists historical monumental l

Joe, I have never had as much respect for an artist as I do now after watching this interview. For someone at Vince Gill's level to be thrilled to be still playing sessions...to share with us times when he felt "over his head"...to say he thinks of himself as a musician first...what a fine man, a man of integrity, artistic excellence and humility. I think I'll have to pay whatever the H man charges next tour around just to hear him play with that superstar band.

I'm loving these interviews Joe. It's nice to get a flavour of the person behind the music and hear their stories. Vince is humble and yet he's grounded. He knows that you can learn a lot by playing with different musicians. No matter how good you are there's always something new to learn. If you think you know everything then you might as well give up. Surf's Up is a difficult song (one of my faves) and I enjoyed Vince's story. I suppose the moral is - don't believe anything is impossible. Thanks for the video.

Damn Joe! Another excellent interview! As the kid who spent countless hours reading liner notes (remember those?) on every LP I could get my hands on, this is just fascinating to me. Vince is such a “real” person and you are so comfortable in your role that this is a real treat.

Vince, forgive me but I don't think you've EVER been over your head. Thanks for the musicianship and your tunes.

This is one man who definitely underestimated. He’s classy. He’s smart ,kind , spontaneous, forgiving,honest,and humble. I love his wife Amy . I remember their House of Cards . What a Beautiful Blessing. God Bless This Man and his Family . ❤️🇨🇦 Thank You so much for sharing this video. I’ve been watching It Theory, Naveen Jain , on Tom Bilyeu. , so I can live a long time to continue to watch these awesome people! ( Excellent way to extend lifespan) a Book by David Sinclair/ Rhonda Patrick. 😊✨❤️

Not having grown up listening to so called country music was a real barrier but listening to Vince Gill brought me around. These stories make you appreciate the talent of these Nashville cats.

This is one of the best interviews of any musician I have ever seen. Joe really has a great way making everybody he interviews feel so comfortable and he makes the audience feel like we are all sitting on the living room couch together and makes you feel like family; haven't quite seen that with anybody else and I love every single interview he does but this one was extra special. I was raised on rock and roll and in my 50s now so I still had an appreciation and exposure to everything and I am just now starting to appreciate everything Vince Gill has accomplished. Just his rendition of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" with Larry Knechtel (R.I.P) at piano, he should be made an honorary member of The Wrecking Crew. Pure inspiration and still so damn humble! Peace, Bob M.

Can't wait for part 3. Great interview, Joe. Vince seems to be such a down to earth guy. Fame hasn't corrupted him like it does others.

Great stuff. Saw Vince with the Eagles in Vegas at The Hotel California gig. Met him before the show and he makes you feel like you’ve been friends with him for years. Thanks for the interview

This was wonderful! The Eagles have always been my favorite band, with Glenn Frey as my favorite member! I was so very sad when he passed. I also Love Vince Gill, since the first time I heard him. Put them together, thank you! I saw you in 2017 in Philadelphia, with James Taylor. What a wonderful time!

Another great interview Joe. Just loved the line from Brian Wilson saying they never did it live because it was too hard. Vince is a great talent and a hell-of-a nice and humble guy. Can’t wait for pt 3. Thank you!

Check out Vince doing “Warmth Of The Sun” at the Brian Wilson Tribute, it brings tears to my eyes. He’s amazing.

Vince talks about the late, great Barry Beckett. Without a doubt, one of the all time greats! Rest in peace, Bear. There's NONE like you!

Great interview with Vince. I remember moving to Nashville in 1992 as an aspiring musician and drummer . He released whenever I call your name around that time and it hit me like a freight train. The lyrical melody was so deeply felt and understood.

What a great interview with two great musicians. Joe and Vince. Looking forward to watching part 3.

This guy is truly great!

THE best interviews! Absolutley fantastic!

Truly one of the greats. No better clue...his unbelievable humility.

I can hear Vince singing harmony and playing guitar in many songs with other artists. He never overrides the singer or musicians. His subtly is beautiful music to my ears

Joe, once more, a brilliant interview from your good self. I know nothing about Vince but I'm going to listen to his stuff and also "Surf's Up" and "Bridge". I love how you get these superb musicians to open up.

Incredible individual. Thanks for this.

Wonderful interview, watching a conversation about the craft, artistry and inspiration of writing and playing, but most of all the love of music. Enjoyed the back and forth between old friends.

Great interview with a super talented and genuinely humble musician. Keep 'em comin'.

Man... gotta love Vince! Oklahoma City boy... you have the greatest interviews, I love your style Joe.

My whole life Joe I have always believe that nice guys finish last and I still do but you and Mr. Gill help this old dog see a bit of a ray poking through.. Thank you young man !!

Great interview/content. Enjoy your stuff so much! Thanks!

you made it you're making it and you're still making it brother God bless rock and rollers

If I could pick a person to hang out and strum a few songs with, I'd love it to be with Vince Gill. Just a really decent person and wonderful performer and musician... So good!

Just when I thought the last interview Joe did was the best one yet, Joe knocks this one way out of the park. Thank you Joe for these priceless, informative and insightful interviews.
