Les had me going. For a minute there I thought he had a looper pedal the size of my apartment

Awesome video!🎉

August 2020, when people worldwide were wearing facemasks and trying to avoid Covid19.

The originator of the multi track.....and the whole music recording industry owes Les a well done😊😊😊😊

Incredíble the sise of these instruments🇲🇽👍

Alistair Cook as a young man!

Me at 2024, so fascinated introducing my soul with this pair

Mary began with her Christian family singing gospel . She was already a wonderful artist famous in her own wright when she met and married Les Paul , we don't know how she started drinking alcohol but it was to her harm. Les Paul was a genius and I am blown away watching his early licks , he was fast .

I've had to watch this over a few time to let it all sink in. They basically invented modern recording. And it wasn't just technique and equipment, they also had perfect pitch. Current musicians take for granted what these people invented out of thin air. Outstanding piece of musical history. Thanks for posting.

I met Les Paul backstage at the Iridium in NYC about 20 years ago. First thing he asked me was " How's the sound out front?" He was using new house mix guy and wasn't happy with the mix. Cursed like a sailor and was a cantankerous old dude.BUT he was Les Paul.😊

It's amazing how they're overdubbing live wthout a click. Unreal!

The art of overdubs, and multi track recording era begins. A standard in all recording studios today.

Well, it also seems that with reel to reel tape recorders, Les Paul created what is now known as a looper pedal. Unbelievable!

❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 what year was this taking place?

All rock "muscians" should thank Les Paul for his multi track invention. Les Paul puts rock guitarist to shame.

It's called overdubbing.

It's sad thinking of where he is right now. Also, based on his personality in a lot of videos I watch of him I bet being married to him was difficult.

I got Les Paul guitars and Stingray cars and I'm pretty good at making racket.🤠

this is why i write songs on you tube😅

Raw talent that will never be replicated.

Les...

Mary quite attractive and beautiful voice

Wow. Never saw this pre everything

This recording is gem. Thanks for posting.

Där fred då låg över vårat Barnasland och ingen riktigt trodde på hur alla viste sa och repeterade på hur det går det går ner för dig det är en lång lång backe här och där hit och tillbacks som en ensam patriot sjunger mellan Älvsborg och Visborg för att frälsa undervattningarna i vår sjö vår sjö vår sjö Vårsjö

Les Paul was a pioneer in multi-trac recording and used reverb and echo to his advantage.

And that's how he invented the multi-track recording... amazing

Mary Ford was so beautiful

Ja det ar en udda uppsättning - eldkvarn och dansbandsdansanter! Snart kommer väl jonglerande elefanter in!

Gibson Les Paul the only legit signature guitar.

26 tracks. The first "wall of sound." Les Paul taught Steve Miller how to play a guitar. Apparently the families knew one another and were friends.

25 years ago i was playing guitar into a radio shack desk dictation mini microphone plugged into my windows desktop that had "wave recorder" - a simple one track recording program to record simple 60 sec clips. You could add on 60 second at a time to make it longer , like if you needed to do a song.( id add on enough erxtra 60 sec chunks til i thought id have enough for my whole song to fit then trim off 2 secs at a time.. then in the drop down menu there was a feature that let you blend to files together after they were recorded....BUT for music it wouldn't be in time unless you started recording with the same exact dead air before the music starts...by trial and error i would add on dead air 2 seconds at a time to which ever track suited it best to get the two to be lined up right. i would record myself listening to the original first rhythm guitar and play a lead guitar part over it and save the file as "Solo for song XYZ" ...then id open the file "Rhythm track for song XYZ" and go to the drop menu and select blend with existing file and pick "Solo for XYZ " and they'd be imposed over each other but not lined up in time like a multitrack music recorder would do....id have to cut and add time to the beginning until trial and error finally resulted with the two files playing in time. I was 16 it was 2002 didn't know I could have just used a Free multi track recording program like "Audacity" hahaha. I feel like this process is similar to how Les Paul invented multi track...he used what he had - along with mental powers manipulating things tat were not meant to be used in that way, in order to achieve something new.

this demo seems staged? he played the melody...but there was no headphones or backing track when he demoed the melody on stage...then suddenly theres a full track...seems they faked it for TV sake.

Oh dear

So glad people get to see and hear Les, he made it possible for all of us. Such a great player and inventor and Mary was actually a pretty good guitarist herself! ✌️😎🎸🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶

Man I'd live a pair of those vintage cans.

Can someone explain to me why everything had to be “comedic” in American television from those years? It’s like, why was everything supposed to be funny? I see great guitar players from that era doing crazy little jumps and weird faces, why?

My God, imagine having this level of talent and craft, and then to have people accuse you of faking it... and then respond with such humour. Well done the host for putting those people straight.

It always irks me when I see all of the ignorants sobbering all over Les Paul like he single handedly invented the recording industry. He did not invent the solid-body electric guitar, overdubbing, multi-tracking, half-speed recording, or slapback echo. Everyone interested in the true fair and balanced Les Paul story, warts and all, should read "Les Paul; An amercian Original", by Mary Shaughnessy.

Les Paul was from the future. He got stuck in the past, used what was available and invented modern recording techniques.

Invents the solid body guitar and multi track recording. Kind of a genius.

Les Paul was sooooo ahead of his time! What an awesome and talented guitarist and inventor!!! What a great and legendary husband and wife duo!!!

Les cheated if you watch closely he didn,t actually play it was all recorded for the show , but of course he was a legend ! I wish I had that les Paul model it would be worth a fortune !!!

A-men!

Can you imagine how much that Les Paul is worth today.

My god how is it he is not mentioned more as a guitar virtuoso and her for her vocals.. those two together perfection . My highest show of respect to them both….🤘

HUGE RESPECT!!! 😬 love it!!!

Underbart, Eldkvarn som dansorkester 🕺💃

Am i wrong or does he have huge hands!!

This is a Breath taking video and he loves her so much as well!
