That first fiddler is Hunter Berry, Rhonda's son in law! That boy can saw them strings! But they just keep coming, one after another. What an amazing group of players. Youwza!!!!
I'rm sitting here quietly in my armchair, doing nothing, just listening to this fantastic version and when it was finished, I was completely out out of breath.
Rhonda, you keep folks smiling over the expressions you make throughout your performance. I can only imagine how much of a sense of humor you have off stage.
I also love how proud everyone on stage is of the others. When the girl with dark brown hair was doing her solo bit, everyone had big smiles and she loved it. Bluegrass is something special. The talent, the family even throughout different bands is something we can all learn from.
@@jeffscott8323 You ought to ask your mummy what the difference is between a fiddle and a violin. You just made yourself look pretty stupid as well as ill mannered. No bed-time story for you tonight!
matthew hayes I couldn't agree with you more, I only found Rhonda and The Rage, and her Family about a month ago on RU-vid.She & they are brilliant. One of my best tracks of hers is I Sang Dixie. Thanks,& Regards From the UK.
@@harelaw3487 actually it is Scottish and Irish. The Confederate southern flag was even originated from the Scotland flag. The south is all traditional Irish and Scott's that came over and migrated through the mountains and hills to be un seen. Thats where the word hill Billy came from. Almost every Confederate soldier during the Civil War had ties to Scotland and Ireland. They even had Scottish and Irish regiments and battalions in the war. So not just Irish. Look up the documentary who put the Klan in klux. Its on prime. It shows how almost all of the southern in America came from Scotland and Ireland.
You can see why they call it the Jazz of country music. Improvisation, virtuosity..... even the comments section contains more intelligence than standard country.
OBS is one of the best songs ever created for open-ended, pull-out-all-the-stops improvisation. There are literally infinite ways to riff on it and it's still always instantly recognizable. Best of all, it's as much fun to listen to as it is to play. This was pure joy!
I have to come back here every couple weeks just to hear these fantastic musicians. How are they able to keep all 5 in sync with each other. Just the greatest.
This has got to be the best fiddle playing I've heard in my life so far! And I'm not exaggerating! So many immensely talented fiddle masters on the stage at one time, playing one of my all time favorite pieces, just keep 'em coming 😎
Talk about fire on the strings and lightning on the bow! This is bluegrass at its very best. Rhonda and everyone up on that stage has the traditional bluegrass running though their veins and when the audience rises to their feet that is all the proof you need that this group is the real deal. Great job by all! Thanks for posting this!!!!
I am so glad I got to see her with my father while he was still in this world. I never much liked bluegrass until I went live and felt the Soul of it through these musicians. The truly bring it alive.
being an avid listener to orange blossom special being performed by 4 violinists at the same time...i think its fantastically done...n i still search for anyone out there who can out perform them to no avail...in my humble search wide opinion..they are the best
So I am not the only one with goose bumps... Can play this version 30 times over and not get enough... Hard to believe it is over 5 min long. Feels like 1 minute version.
Just so people maybe won't have to ask this any more (I think I was the first to ask), the fiddler lineup is: 1) Hunter Berry 2) B.J. Cherryholmes 3) Molly Cherryholmes 4) Chris Sexton 5) Rhonda Vincent Awesome fiddling! I love how they all have their own distinctive styles, but no one does anything silly or gimmicky like, say, interpolating the "Flintstones" theme into their solo. Nothing but pure bluegrass here!
If your foot isn't moving with the best to this, and you're not absolutely blown away by the talent of everyone on stage, then you're not even human. Lol
This was immensely enjoyable to watch, all the musicians just enjoying each others God given talent and giving glory to God. Just a pure pleasure to watch!
I have been listening to a lot of Carmignola (Italian Violinist/late Vivaldi Concertos) for sometime. But I always like to mix things up musically. Blue Grass violin/acoustic string instruments absolutely compliment and reflect Baroque/Classical violin/acoustic instruments. Rhonda and the Rage are fantastic musicians and are so artistically gifted!
Not only does Rhonda Vincent play a mean fiddle but those GUNS !! Damn, what a fine pair of arms. All of these performers leave chills down your spine. Love this music.
I don't always listen to music performed at such a rare, high talent level, but when I do, it's usually Rhonda Vincent and the Rage! Stay thirsty for Rhonda Vincent Bluegrass, my friend. It's good for the soul.
Every time I watch this I get chills. These folks can flat out play and there is no music like it left any longer. Real music done in person without the use of studio assistance. (Classical music is right there with it. I got to see Joshua Bell perform Vivaldi's Four Seasons in Portland OR in the early 2000's. Incredible and he and the orchestra just played, no help from the "booth"). Real musicians like these are becoming fewer and farther between. Another awesome video is Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver "Through the Years" where he brings back quite a few of his old band members to perform a concert. Incredible talent and a great, great show. Worth watching.....Bluegrass, the best music in the world!!!
Absolutely Outstanding, what a Performance. This is one of the BEST versions, of "Orange Blossom Special", if not The Best !! ❤ 💯% ❤ Roland Singh, Canada 🇨🇦
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, AND GOOD TOO!!!!! The audience at this concert saw a performance that may NEVER be repeated, although I hope it will be many times.
Absolutely the finest fiddle playing I've heard in a long time. I don't know who the lady is playing left-handed fiddle, but she has it going on...great!
Holy cow you guys are amazing! I just watched several artist playing that orange blossom including c train and Paul Parker and Charlie Daniels and I'm still looking for more but by far I think you guys nailed it! Good for you and God bless all the musicians who bring this so much joy! Keep going, love you guys Linda Lee
Lost count how many times I've watched this & always amazed at that guy on the guitar with what looks like a robotic hand not missing a beat while watching the others. 😀
The best most entertaining performance of this song every performed. Rhonda!!!! She has so much stage presence and those fiddlers...those fiddlers....WOW!!!! So much practice and perfecting that arrangement! Wow years of perfecting.
