JD Crowe and the New South 1999 KET Festival of the Bluegrass Segment 1 

What a great opener. Brilliant band

I'm thankful for RU-vid - For hours of great live video that myself and the rest of the younger generation would never have been able to see otherwise. JD Crowe will always be my main reference point for bluegrass banjo playing and he never fails to bring a smile to my face. Thank you JD, Rest in Peace!

Outstanding performance.

There have been several truly outstanding groups headed by an outstanding 5 string banjo but I truly have to admit Mr. JD Crowe headed the one very best! Thank you JD and this world misses the very best of the best: very likable Mr. JD Crowe…rest in The Lord, JD!

Dwight McCall is just showing off with that tenor voice.

The very best Crowe lineup! Very talented!!

J.D.Crowe's New South one of the best bands I ever heard (and I heard a lot I can tell you, have been listening bluegrass for some 55 years). Outstanding traditional sound, especially Ricky Wasson, great voice, plays guitar bluegrass style the right way. A 10 for this great band.

JD is so missed, JD is fascinating to watch and to listen to. There will never be another JD.never .

I always loved this version of the new south! But this is by far the best " Live " show of this band I ever heard. Lots of talent.

The finest ever, JD Crowe and his guys!

I`ve listened to so many albums and studied JD`s style for the last 35 years ... I feel as though I know him personally , he is truly the best ... thanks for posting

I thank God for blessing the family of blue grass

Wow I was needing my bluegrass fix and I sure got it. Dang their good❤️

WOW...these guys have talent. Glad they are they still playing on tape after 17 years

Sad christmas with J. D. gone. RIP ole boy.

great vocals, and goes without saying, beautiful banjo work.

Great music singing all are great some are gone Jd Crowe on Bango great barratone singer to all these group,s

Thanks for posting, Charles.... I attended many of the Festival of Bluegrass festivals...loved those that were at Masterson Station Park. J.D. has never had a bad group...but, I do love lead voice of Ricky Wasson and Dwight McCall's no slouch on that tenor singin' either :)

Another Moon Howlin' Set ! . . Tnx So Much !

After watching and listening this video i now better understand why J.D. is often mentioned the Earl Scruggs 2.0 Besides the shaking instruments and vocals, special 2 thumbs up for the marvelous sound engenering. Thnx y'all !

This is really good, thanks for posting.

this is one of the best new south groups since the 1975 band. that was one good band!! thank for post, ken t

Thanks for posting this.....GREAT!

Brother Johnny will love this album

One of the best there ever was

Well done to you and your Ma. This is fab.

Fantastic country bluegrass music thanks for sharing :))

JD, If it means anything, 1951 was when I was born. The very first song I ever heard picked on a banjo was when I was in First grade, called Oh Suzanna, o don't you cry for me, cause I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee!!

Yes sir good music 🎶🎵

Sharing that one mic is an entertaining style--- the audience loves it--especially the harmonies, and it makes for great photos. But one night I saw JD perform with Dwight at the Birchmere in Alexandria, VA, and Dwight had a TERRIBLE cold; even so, the show was GREAT. All I could think of was that in 2 days, poor JD would be sick--REALLY sick--with Dwight's cold. Couldn't they have asked the Birchmere to set up two mics for just that night?

Dammn! These guys were good.

jd great love this

Damn good all Y’all!

thanks for posting,great stuff

Nice vocal harmonies

Dang, I was gettin into Lefty'ss Old Guitar when it just ended :(

Yes do pretty good

Fiirrre

Get out! I'm from Middletown Ohio. Guess there's a reason they call it Middle-tucky!

Skaggs as you have never seen him before!

I was so glad to hear Ledbetter had gone into remission from the Big C. Eat yer heart out J Douglas. My band partner, Wayne Harris (no slouch on banjo himself) never liked J D's playing. Why? Who knows? I was in the USAF in 1956. First song I ever heard J D play was Sophronie with Jimmy Martin

Any idea what make and model banjo JD is playing?

I recognize Ricky Wasson (g) and JD. Who are the others? Hint -- that's NOT Skaggs!

Is that the same dobro player,that he has now,if it is he has lost weight.

Anyone know the instrumental they play at 20.50 ??????

I beg your pardon?
