[1995-02-25-USWA-TV] Eddie Gilbert Tribute

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

It sounds weird to say, but Lance Russell really gets the announcement that Eddie has passed away pitch perfect. It's handled in about as classy fashion as one could ask for.

 

Then, they show some great clips of his time in Memphis to "The Dance".

I'll be honest, I'm surprised they didn't do a angle out of Eddie's death like they did Andy Kaufman. This was really done well with Dave and Lance doing the talking.

Really well-done stuff from Lance and Dave, going over the specifics of their relationship with Gilbert and touching on what made him a success. A good music video follows, with some of Eddie's earliest Memphis clips leading to a bell salute.
