- Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers live at Jazz Fest playing the most smokin' OBS I've ever seen or heard, live or recorded. Nicky Sanders on fiddle is amazing!
Steve Martin is a versatile artist with a comedic twist. Fortunate to be around during his era of SNL with many comedy geniuses!
That was back when SNL was actually funny.
@@vjgrevem oh. here we go. I'm sure you're a comic master
@@gerrydooley951 I do believe I could do better than most of the writers on the show for the past decade or more. It wouldn't be hard.
@@vjgrevem well, I'm very impressed with your postings on youtube
@@gerrydooley951 I'm quite proud of them - thanks!
Just WOW. Seven years ago, and I can still smell the spirit of this concert!
"...and fire flew from his fingertips as he rosened up his bow!".....DANG!!!!
Wonderful music, love bluegrass. Bluegrass and Steve Martin. great combination. The fiddle is marvelous.
That guy plays the devil's fiddle... damn he's good! America has produced so much GOOD music... this is among the best. Strong, witty, powerful.... the best of the original American spirit.
I NEVER THOUGHT I'D USE THIS IN A SENTENCE, "HE'S THE JIMI HENDRIK OF THE FIDDLE".
Say what you will about Steve Martin as a comedian, and even if you hate the banjo, you can't deny that the man has incredible skills with one!
SM fronted for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and during the NDGB set John McEuen did a solo. At one point he's picking away and reaches over and grabs a water glass and has a drink, but the music continued smooth as glass. Everybody naturally assumed there was a recording running to facilitate the joke. I read a Reader's Digest article a few weeks later that covered that tour. Turns out there wasn't a recording at all. It was 100% live. It was SM playing along backstage...
25 people have no idea what best Bluegrass music is.
You can almost see them wheels burning up the track & the locomotive screaming all the way :)
Who still uses the still-shot function of video recorders? Even in the mid-late '00s.
Thor214 that was the last time I ever did that.
Fair enough. Glad to hear you kicked the habit. Thank you for the excellent recording, nonetheless. I am always going to be more interested in the quality of the audio, and you did very well.
Nicky Sanders looked like he was going to play that fiddle until it caught fire xD Has that ever happened? I would've did a Jimi Hendrix if I could do that.
What is the difference between a fiddle and a violin?
It's the same instrument, they are just played differently. And when you play fiddle, the bridge is flatter so you can hit two or more strings at the same time.
You can't stop to spit when playing a violin.
Brandon Nelson Thanks, Brandon. I suspected it might be technique but didn't who to ask.
cqtm, n553302. You can, but your first time will likely also be the last time you play for an audience.
A violin has strings. A fiddle has strangs!
Yeah, now there is a fiddle player the Devil would not stand a chance against!
In 1978 I saw Steve Martin at Pine Knob in Michigan. After the first twenty minutes, and I'm not exaggerating, everyone was bent over and a few people had dropped out of their seats into the aisle. We had been laughing so hard for so long we were begging him to stop. He sang King Tut on roller skates that night.

My dad's law partner went to college with him and told him he wasn't funny he was just weird. Guess who's laughing now. 🤣
It's a miracle that Mr. Sanders' fiddle didn't burst into flame! What a performance! The very best OBS I've EVER heard! WOW!!!:)
"Nicky Sanders on fiddle is amazing!" understatement. Fucking incredible.
I love Steve. He is hilarious. I also appreciate how he can stand in the back , if need be, and give someone else the spotlight: the fiddle man. Very cool. Of course I love King Tut, too. Wild and crazy!
That’s got the be the BEST fiddle playing I’ve heard!!! 😮😮❤
People have asked, so I googled:
The fiddler is Nicky Sanders. Classically trained as a youngster, concertmaster of a youth symphony. Has a B. A. in violin performance from Berklee College of Music in Boston. I saw the Rangers play (sans Steve Martin) at the California Bluegrass Association's annual Father's Day Festival in Grass Valley, CA, in 2012. Nicky blew the audience away! Nicky was also an instructor in the pre-festival campout. Seems like a nice guy.
In the middle of a pandemic, I get to listen to my childhood memory of when Steve Martin came out on the SNL stage and played this for the first time...
Watching this video for the first a bit after you, in similar circumstance. A song of motion, freedom, and expectation in the middle of a time where all three seem in short supply.
I was in a motel on a class trip to Washington DC. You could walk across the parking lot and hear SNL; everyone was watching!
I've heard, and played myself, countless iterations of Orange Blossom Special, but never have I seen it taken to this level. Nicky Sanders did, indeed, *smoke* it!
And King Tut was the icing on the cake.
You can tell this is where his heart is, that comedy stuff just paid the bills
There is not a better anti-depressant on the market than this music
Damn right!
That's no joke.
Scientists are quaking
Where's the lie?
Zydeco does a good job at that as well...... if you can listen to either and be sad, there IS something wrong, get help.
I triple dog dare anyone to listen to that version of Orange Blossom Special and keep both feet completely still all the way through to the end... It can't be done.
As a double amputee, I find your remark offensive.
So your feet have already danced on down the road...
Ich lach mich kaput !!!
Stomp us a chorus Jed!
Not sure I couldn't listen to this and not end up losing my driver's license!
Nicky Sanders is beyond amazing. So much energy. His version is the best ever. In my opinion.
Mr. Martin can play the hell outta that banjer.....
I am 68 yrs. old....I have seen a lot of fiddle players in my life....but this is really something special. Thanks for posting!
This song is the standard for all fiddlers. The fiddle can spit out notes faster than any other bluegrass instrument.
I love the train sound he is making with singing and playing violin at the same time!! (1:42)
Me too! Got me wanting to do it too
It's a fiddle!🎻🎻😂😂😂😂
Me too! He is so great! And Mr Steve Martin!!!! 😀
I think he's just opening his mouth and letting the sound of the violin resonate in his throat.
@@patmcleish2079 nah, you can hear him singing if you listen closely
If I could play the fiddle like that, I would never be alone again.
+Sam Harper I think that fiddle almost caught fire
+Sam Harper Oh, you'd be alone simply because you'd have to spend every last minute practicing!
cftdd n
It would be would be worth it to connect to you soul.......................
Donald Burgio Gotta go down to da crossroad....?...
I know he's funny in his past, an art collector right now....but he's always been a dedicated banjo player and for that, I've always respected and loved him.
Bluegrass King Tut!! Only Steve Martin!🤣🤣🤣
How many people do you know of with a Grammy awards for Comedy AND Bluegrass?
That is one crazy good violin player!
"He gave his life for tourism."
Nicky Sanders sure made the train whistle sound real !!!
How is that POSSIBLE..amazing ❤❤
Obviously music is good. Fiddler is amazing! Steve is always great to watch. King Tut: He gave his life for.....tourism. I love Steve Martin!
*now that's ONE MEAN FIDDLER!* ... pretty good pickin' too. ... :^)
it's unAmerican to dislike this.
How can anyone NOT like this music?
Should be entitled Nicky Sanders playing Orange Blossom Special.....
Steve Martin has been a musician since the 70's, he's awesome with the banjo!
Listening to Nicky Sanders is a spiritual experience.
Dreadful camera work, but the music is great!!
Nicky Sanders is awesome, Seen him last night on PBS with Steve. Great
Nicky Sanders playing the fiddle, and YES, he did play Norwegian Wood ! Awesome !
What was the other piece he referenced? It was a classical one - Edvard Grieg?
@@anitaadvani8464 It's "Sabre Dance," composed by Aram Khachaturian
ruclips.net/video/gqg3l3r_DRI/видео.html
@@anitaadvani8464 If you mean at 7:02, it was Hatchaturians "Sword dance"
The difference between a violin and a fiddle. A violin has strings. A fiddle? Well a fiddle has strangs!!!!
Steve Martin playing "Orange Blossom Special"? Where, when, did I miss something?
I'm 63 or 4, does it matter? Steve Martin is the funniest and most musically talented person I've EVER been entertained by.. XOX Steve! ;)
Who the hell is that fiddle player?!?!? He's freaking amazing!!!!!
Nikki Sanders
Think it's me.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicky_Sanders
steve is a once in a life time talent
Name a fiddle player, living or passed on, who is better than Nicky Sanders. I betcha can't. Pure BRILLIANCE!!!!
I had the King Tut 45.
Ask your parents kids.
PhiltheMachinist I have the 8-track tape
Steve Martin is PRO banjo man
Steve is a favorite, but the fiddler stole the show. What talent!
King Tut was the most played 45 on our juke box in our rec. room back in the late 70's. I was in 2nd grade in 79'. Grew my hair long so I could have a fat afro to accent my sweet wide leg jeans and velour shirt!
I think people forget what a great banjo player Steve is!!
Dang, who was that fiddle player? He was totally on fire.
His name was Nicky Sanders on the fiddle .
Yup! Lit those strings up without a doubt!
Nicky Sanders. Studied violin at Berklee College of Music in Boston. As a high schooler, he was concertmaster of a youth symphony orchestra in Berkeley, CA.
@@scoberg Wow!
Super fiddle player
Excuse myself my American friends, I am a gentleman from England and my music tastes are very wide ranging. I love this (Bluegrass) music. Wonderful to share other peoples cultures and tastes in music. The fiddle player is superb! Also something about the deep south. In England we have a thousand years of history, but I love America also. Have a nice day to all the American people. Regards, David from England.....
Be sure to listen to the other music on youtube with Steve Martin and the Deep Canyon Rangers! They are awesome together!
Doctor Dolittle, be well, friend. As a desert rat born and raised on the West Bank of the Rio Grande river in New Mexico, I have discovered that true friends enjoy (or hate) every moment of life together. Those moments may be our last...
bluegrass one of the true American art forms
While bluegrass is an American music form, it has roots in traditional folk music from the British Isles, which settlers from Scotland, England, and Ireland brought to Appalachia.
steve martin = genius. comedic. musical. sigh!!!! love him.
Good music, talented band, but did these guys not like each other or something?
Friggin' AWESOME!!!... Nicky Sanders
It helps that his hair turned grey when he was 24.
Good "train sounds".
After all these years, I hope you have learned he is a "fiddle player" not violin.
G.W. Macdonald, Nicky Sanders is a virtuoso violinist, classically trained and comfortable in a variety of genres. He references several classical pieces in this set. I guess you could say he has more than one string to his bow. Those train hooter sounds are spectacular . . .
Some bits of this sound like they could have been lifted straight off 'Baba O'Riley'. Fabulous stuff!
Stevie Donnelly Good to know I'm not alone in hearing that.
The Who
I have the most respect for Mr Martin since I discovered his love for the banjo. I admired him for his movies but in my estimation he is now on a plane with what you all call God.
SMOKIN' RENDITION FELLAS!!
That was just beautiful!!
Man, there is nothing like the feeling of playing with other musicians in front of a great audience that elevates everyone present to a fine tuned mutual experience of ecstasy other than being there as a whiteness which is the exact same feeling. Musicians and audience alike feel the same thing and it’s wonderful. Music brings people together like nothing else.
Totally insane fiddle!!!!!
I am blown away by the Orange Blossom Special!
very nice video, I love this mastery of speed, superb and very beautiful music.
@kingofthemooners09
Great! Hope everyone there enjoyed it. I will always wonder how many people go to see Steve Martin the comedian, and leave with more appreciation for good blue grass music because of Steve Martin the banjo player and a great blue grass band.
Thanks for this - shame King Tut was cut off at the end. And wow those glitches were annoying, any way to just edit that? Anyway, great to see Steve Martin still playing (probably the most underrated banjo player ever due to his fame elsewhere) and that violin player was outstanding. Also love that Martin doesn't mind going back to something like "King Tut" (even though he's no doubt sick to death of it) as he knows people will still get a charge from that. King Tut goes Bayou - gotta love it!
Those "glitches" happen when someone is recording video and without stopping the video, takes photos mid record. They drive me crazy too. Wish there was a way tech could get past it, but every phone I've ever had did the same, though to a lesser degree. Still annoying, but unfixable that I know of.
I also Roy Clark's rendition of Orange Blossom Special performed in Russia!
@colliedogboy - that's because SteveMartin was a musician way before he was a Hollywood star :-) I like it, too. I think he's a Real Normal Guy.
mad pickin' and fiddlin'
Ay, ay, guys with all those lunatic improvisations and speed you are kiling the beauty of the original melody...!!
Dang that boy can fiddle!
everything was going great until you started taking pictures..like you couldn't wait to taking at home on any good video app
Really ... how hard is it to pull stills from HD video.....
erlinda bojorquez yeah, that was beyond effing annoying!
Great OBS but I had no idea they included King Tut in their show. I only wish it wasn't cut off!
Steve, when are you going to start looking older???? I truly believe you have found the Fountain of Youth.
Stunning fiddle playing.
now that tis' FIDDLEN!
Orange Blossom Special and King Tut. That was priceless.
I think that is really great that Steve Martin steps back and allows other musicians show their talents. It is not about fame, but rather the shared appreciation for the music. Bless them all. I enjoyed listening to their presentation.
Joseph Walker Steps back? He cant play lick. He is just acting funny.
Ronnie Bishop You don't watch his videos much, do you? Steve is a very accomplished banjo player.
Steve is a humble man, but I guess anyone would be who ever played banjo next to Earl Scruggs.
Somebody call the fire department! That fiddle is gonna catch on fire!
Thank you for putting this up. Its amazing, and Steve Martin held his own.
WOW!!!!! Effing brilliant!!!
the steep canyon rangers are amazing in every sense, ncky sanders almost set that fiddle on fire! steve martin of course has proved his merits with the banjo. the day i see him pick the banjo will be the day my heart stops.
Nicky Sanders is MAGIC!
Lesson one for videographers: Don’t take stills with your dslr while recording video. That’s what those freeze/click/click hiccups are in the middle of the video. That being said, So Glad you got this performance. I think Canon finally locked out stills from video recording as a default.
Yep. Super easy to pull stills from your video later
I like this song very much . Steve Martin plays the Banjo great .
Hey what can we say? Steve Martin doing King Tut... too bitchen!!! Thanks Steve you rock!!! We love ya.
As odd as it might be, the medley works for me... anmd then comes along King Tut... I love this video.
To hear a bluegrass group going Tut Tut. Priceless
Wow......that dude can flat out saw that fiddle up!!!!
The violinist/fiddler - WOW!
Great! I love Steve Martin's delivery much more then back in the old days.
I guess that's the steep canyon rangers backing him up
