Chet Atkins CGP -- Great DVD Album!!August 28, 2010 Paul D. Ross(Indy) This DVD has some great selections on it, but especially the song about his dad's hat (I Still Can't Say Goodbye). I watched the original broadcast of this on PBS back in '87 and that was the song I particularly remembered. Get out your kleenex before you watch it. Recommend!!

Disappointed in this,too much chatter and not enough on Chet Atkins. These multi star concerts become an ego trip for most participants and then lose sight of what it supposed to be about - CHET ATKINS GUITAR WORK!
Thrilled!July 29, 2010 Sheila Bloom(Alexandria, VA United States) This show was originally on Cinemax Sessions and I loved it. I have it on vhs and I have been longing to have a dvd of it. My dreams have been answered. This is one fabulous show. Chet singing "My Father's Hat" brings tears to just about everyone's eyes. Willie and Waylon are awesome. This whole show is one blast from start to finish and it was great to see the Everly Brothers back together again with their beautiful harmony still there.

I thought the DVD was well done and I enjoyed the content very much. Chet Atkins was much more than a great guitar player and this DVD gives a good look and listen into both his music and that of other musicians that he was involved with. Excellent!!
