I love how Vince switches instruments like 3 times in the show. I know a ton of musicians on this stage could do this, but to actually do it at this level takes a lot of gall and a lot of confidence. Signs of a great musician.
@@lindseywalker6925 That drummer is "Handsome Harry". He's Marty Stuarts drummer & one of the absolute best in the business. I'm a professional bluegrass musician & a pretty traditional on at that. It sounds pretty well blended to me. No offense intended, but I've listened & watched several different versions of this concert & I don't hear anything overbearing about the drums on any of them.
I had this on tape from airing from just under 20 years ago. This was my first exposure to Nickel Creek. They blew me way then, much like Billy Strings is today.
What a breath of fresh air musically these guys are, proves it pays to keep looking, there is a lot of good music out there just waiting to be discovered.
Wow. That's it. Just, "wow." These men and women put out Bluegrass music that must be experienced to be believed. I am new to Bluegrass and I am enjoying the wholesome melodies that, looking at some comments here, I agree are a profound expression of what it means to be living in America. Each song tells a story that I find unique, fun and culturally relevant. The talent and professionalism on display here is impressive, to say the least. Not long ago, I happened to see a few videos of the Sleepy Man Banjo Boys on the David Letterman Show, Willow Osborne performing on Country Tonite at Pigeon Forge and then I happened to stumble upon JD Crowe and the New South. Watching the performance here tops the cake...I am hooked on Bluegrass.
If you stumbled on JD check out the New South in 1975. Many new grass lovers have never heard of Tony Rice, you need to hear him and there was also Ricky Skaggs and Jerry Douglas. After that listen to some Ralph Stanley from 1970-1974. That was his All Star band with Roy Lee Centers, Keith Whitley, yes the same Keith Whitley that went on to become a superstar, there are some country music fans that do not know about his bluegrass history and again Ricky Skaggs. Hope you enjoy!
Great recommendation, bob! Bluegrass keeps impressing me. A simple search took me to the New South 1975, where I was able to experience Tony Rice, Ricky Skaggs and Jerry Douglas. Boy can they all sing and harmonize, or what? Top shelf bluegrass music! Thanks for the recommendation...I would urge any bluegrass fan to see these gentleman perform. What a treat. Tony Rice just blew me away with his singing. I'm going to look up the others you mentioned a bit later...I am soaking all this great New South music up at the moment. Thanks, bob!
I enjoy a lot of different music, but I have to say that the finest Bluegrass musicians are truly beyond belief. Everyone's heard of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, etc, etc, but the likes of Tony Rice & many, many, others are a match for anyone from any genre of music. I was introduced to BG via David Grisman & Jerry Garcia, but that's not quite the same as hearing Dan Tyminski & Co. performing "Carry Me Across The Mountain" for the very first time! Ricky Skaggs & KY Thunder have always blown me away as well. "Sally Jo" was the first song I ever heard along with "Wheel Hoss". Just a treat to watch these people sing & play. Wish I could move back to Kentucky. Thank you for the great upload!
Thank you so much for sharing with us!!! I love bluegrass music! I was raised on it! My Mom took me to my first outdoor bluegrass festival (if you could call it that) at the Redgate Farm in Maynardville, Tennessee. It was fabulous!!! I love Ralph Stanley, the Osbourne Brothers, and J.D. Crowe!!!! Thank you again for sharing!!!!
i wasn't gonna bother with a comment, just enjoying the concert but when ol' Ralph did "Death"... Wow!... Haunting. The old bugger still had some soul to give.
i remember being a little kid at this concert and travis tritt and patty lovelace pulled me on stage to meet them and after that i snuck backstage and literally ran into bruce hornsby and all i could say was wow you're tall and he took me to everyone's room to meet them meanwhile security and my parents were lookin for me ha best concert ever thanks for the memories

Terrific video. Sure are a lot of terrific bluegrass players there! Harry Stinson is the drummer in the show (longtime percussionist with Marty Stuart).
@NoBs 100% Agreed!!!! That's when you know that what you're doing is good enough to have the respect & full attention of every person in the place!!!!!!! It's one of the most awesome experiences in the world when you can experience it from the performing side of the stage. I've been blessed by God to see it from both sides & there's something almost magical about it. It's almost like it takes ppls minds 2 or 3 seconds longer to comprehend what's just happened & then, you get that explosion of applause when the mind fully processes that super high quality of information. Nothing in the world like it!!!!!!!
@Rose Summers That's so sweet of you to say Dear🤠. Well thanks once again for the love and support you've shown towards my music career 😉 it really means a lot, I'm so overwhelmed🤠 may I know how long you’ve been a fan of my music 🎶
Ralph had his own style but he used a lot of the Scruggs rolls, He wasn't a break out banjo like Bobby Thompson or Bill Keith. He also played a good claw hammer banjo. Ralph seemed to be obsessed with really dark tunes.
Not at all, Ralph was mainly a forward roll banjo picker. In his younger days he'd throw a little something different in there, but mainly never went past the 5th fret and hammered that forward roll. It was definitely his own style.
@@ngzcaz 100% Agreed!!!!!!! I saw her from a distance at Hollywood Beach Florida back in Feb of 08. She had the flu & did a full length show!!!!!!! She never missed a beat or even sang off key. That was pretty spectacular in my book!!!!!!!
I understand, I went to that old school in Hyden Ky where the Fabulous Osborne Brothers got a good old mountain boot in the butt and put two of the most perfect instruments together, their great voices
Okay, I gotta say it: 1. Thanks for uploading this. 2. Having said that, there is something *severely* wrong with the audio. I'm guessing that either the original source-material source material was "digital native", or that you digitized it off of VHS tape (most common analog format). 3. At any rate, you bypassed any DRM (if digital) or "copy protection" (if analog) built into the source material by *playing it back*, and *recording the playback*. 4. Problem with that is: the resultant audio ended up sounding somewhere between "phase shifted" and/or very short duration reverb" - most likely because whatever recording program you used inadvertently recorded *two* audio sources, at fractional delay from one another. Not so much a "complaint", as a technical observation, for future reference.
@@bnjmnlewis1 Several things wrong with that: 1. If it was ambient reverb from the hall, you would only hear it *during the performances* (and not during the sit-down interviews, which obviously took place in a diferent setting). 2. The same weird reverb/flanging effect happsn on the voiceover narration at the beginning of the video - which was *not* done by an announcer at whatever concert-hall where at least some of this was recorded. Now that I think of it, the audio processing might be *deliberate* - and specifically intended to bypass RU-vid's copyright-infringement scans. Just some observations/possibilities.
Bluegrass is like Dragon Ball Z, its got a lot of power and drive like Goku doing the Kamehameha Wave. Earl Scruggs is the Goku of Bluegrass Banjo, Earl Scruggs when playing Foggy Mountain Breakdown is like Goku going Super Saiyan.

Love bluegrass.. found myself fast forwarding past Del McCrory... his vocals make my skin crawl... onto the sweet vocals of Alison Krauss. And the super band Skaggs put together.
Probably something having to do with how the video was generated: Several possibilities: 1. This was sourced from DVD/some streaming service or other, and the original source-media was DRM-enrypted. Easiest way to defeat any and all kinds of DRM is to *play the media back* (thus converting it back to analog) - and record *the playback*. Thing about doing this is: you run up against the infamous "generational" thing with analog media - where there is a meaningful distinction between the "original" source media and each "generation" of duplicate (copies of copies of copies etc.) 2. Alternative explanation is that this was originally sourced from videotape (VHS most likely) - and "digitized" by playing the videotape back, pointing a (fairly) high-resolution camera at the screen - recording the result, and then uploading that. Either way, at some point, this resulted in two identical(?) audio tracks offset from one another by a few milliseconds or so. The result is an effect somewhere between phasing/flanging, and a really short duration reverb. 3. Another (plausible) explanation is that the anomalous audio is a *deliberate* decision on the part of the uploader, intended to confuse/defeat RU-vid's automated copyright-violation scans. You could probably achieve pretty much the same result by (for instance) changing the playback speed by (at most) a few percent upward or downward. Just some possibilities.
