Does anyone realize how HARD that is to do?? Six parts played by three guys into one microphone, and made to look easy. They were very impressive, and it's no wonder at all that they hit like they did!
This is incredible! I have always loved this song and to see the video from what, 1958? is great!!! Have you ever seen anyone play guitar the way Nick Reynolds is here? (Tenor guitar?) RIP Dave & Nick
I'm watching Nick during these performances. The man is Listening!! Listening to his comrades, the rhythm, the whole song so that he adds to the beauty. Listening is a great talent. Miss you, Nick. Dave, John....
@@MikeBlitzMag Yes, and it is sad. I was trying to offer an explanation for the original comment. At the time of my comment, and the original, Bob was alive.
@@sled_everything Of course, and that was initially understood in light of the age of the original post. I was merely updating for any third party observers out there, who may not have been aware of any of this. Sure is sad that they're all gone now.
Dave was a great singer and banjo player; Stewart was a good banjo player and great song writer. They both were my first heroes along with Duke Snider!
Imagine living in an era when young people enjoyed this kind of music, when songs such as these could become commercial hits, when traditional folk songs were introduced, for the first time, to mass audiences.
Great arrangement by Dave. Great energy from Nick. but oh my, one of the great voices of his generation, Bob Shane, he along with Bobby Hatfield. are to me the golden voices of the pre-British invasion decade.
As a survivor of the 1960s, I am impressed again by how innocent we all were. They were wearing three matching cotton shirts, white socks and loafers, and they were very, very good. You could make it to the top of the charts in cotton street clothes and abundant talent. I look at the productions that surround our current glittering stars, and I can't find the music any more. Soon after the Kingston Trio, the Beatles invaded, and although they wore funny costumes toward the end, the music did not falter, and they started in corduroy suits. I wonder what would happen if we dressed Taylor Swift in a felt circle skirt with a poodle on it. Would she sound as good?
😢 I had no idea Bob Shane passed on. I was 7 or 8 years old when I fell madly in love with the Kingston Trio. Oh I had an extreme crush on Nick. They had one amazing sound, Musically and vocally. 😢😭❤
the Kingston Trio- Live From the Hungry i album, later Dave Guard formed Dave Guard and the Whiskeyhill Singers, Shane and Reynolds joined with Jon Stewart and they stayed the Kingston Trio-this medley is one of my favs of theirs- it's all good people-since it's American folk music at its best- Jim [an ancient one]
I believe this may be the same show that featured the Kingston Trio, Roy Rogers and Dave Evans, George Goebel, the Everly Brothers, and maybe Johnny Cash, and more. They all did a guitar song at the opening and it was cool.
Nick was a ukulele player before he got the tenor. He used Chicago tuning (DGBE) and usually capoed at the fifth fret so he could use ukulele fingering, but in this clip it looks like he is capoed way up the neck. Bob is capoed at the second fret and Dave is at the 5th fret on a long neck banjo, so Nick may be capoed at seven. Did you notice that Roy Rogers appeared at the end for a second? Was this his show?

Yup, very talented.
They were truly great!
that was borrowed from bluegrass, where you had five players doing the mike dance.
So great to have these videos to watch from a long time ago. Thank you many times over to any- and everybody who makes such things possible.
love, love, love the Kingston Trio for 6 decades!
same here!
@@richardprice8525 As do I!
They were the best!

And RIP Bob Shane
Interesting...Dave is playing two-finger style banjo, and Bobby is not using a pick!
Very early ..... I love watching Bob play that big ol' dreadnought with his bare fingers
And Nick played so high up!!!
Brings me back to the love of my dad. He brought me to the music.

Donald Spaeth - Wasn’t it Nick, Dave, and Bob? John replaced Dave.
@@GH-oi2jf Nick, Dave, and John all passed away. Bob is still alive.
@@sled_everything Not anymore, sadly. Passed away a few months ago.
@@MikeBlitzMag Yes, and it is sad. I was trying to offer an explanation for the original comment. At the time of my comment, and the original, Bob was alive.

They were so frigging good. And just as good when John Stewart joined them.
NO
not quite - the energy, spirit, and polish never equaled the Guard years with John Stewart.
Dave was a great singer and banjo player; Stewart was a good banjo player and great song writer. They both were my first heroes along with Duke Snider!
Shady Grove. I remember the Darlings playing this tune on the Andy Griffith Show
Never the same without Dave Guard.
Never!
@Phil M Liked Dave a tad more
I agree!
@@philm6079 I have all the albums of both groups.
Well, it really was Dave's group. He arranged the music and picked the songs, and recruited Bob and Nick.
I grew up listening to these guys, they are every bit as good as I remember! Anyone have a copy of the zombie jamboree?
Paula Hamand : here ya go!
ruclips.net/video/p4k5XftdTMs/видео.html
Zombie Jamboree is a classic!
Live at the hungry i
Original group was wonderful together.
you bet they were!
Love their Christmas album "Last Month of the Year."
I play it every Christmas
These guys knew the value of rehearsal.
Greenhawk, it's John Stewart, not Jon. Geez, get with it.
Dave Guard! my favorite of all the Kingstons!
Remember the Alamo
Dave rules: he was so cool
My da' raised me on these guys' music. Steeped in ol' timey.
As a sprite, these three guys were the KINGSTON TRIO!
These three never cease to please discerning folk music lovers! = white man's soul, I reckon.
Imagine living in an era when young people enjoyed this kind of music, when songs such as these could become commercial hits, when traditional folk songs were introduced, for the first time, to mass audiences.
Sounds like my idea of Heaven!
Tina Turner
Did that...twas grand
multicaruana - No need to imagine. I listened to this group (both versions) in my youth.
I listened to this in my youth too but not when it was popular. I may be a bit of an anomaly but I loved this kind of music in the 90’s.
Great songs. Track 10 on their live album, "...From the Hungry I". Always pictured a gospel chorus coming in on the closing part of Lonesome Traveler.
Got my copy for $1!
They Call the Wind Mariah
wow A classic
Mindblowingly good!
So fine
No one better!
This was my mom's favorite! Haven't heard them since I was a kid, thanks so much for sharing!
Great arrangement by Dave. Great energy from Nick. but oh my, one of the great voices of his generation, Bob Shane, he along with Bobby Hatfield. are to me the golden voices of the pre-British invasion decade.
My family has a friend that comes from Pikeville, Kentucky, and she absolutely LOVES “Shady Grove”
They are so clean cut. But they sound wonderful. =)

How I wished that they could have recorded "There is a Time"!😂
Это шикарно, черт возьми!

Bob Shane could sing anything!

it's all good people-since it's American folk music at its best- Jim [an ancient one]
At Large- 4th album- is a masterpiece!
man they were good.
RIP this original Kingston trio
Take that thing to Chicken Of The Sea, let them tuna. Not from me, them TKT. They were, are, will always be the best!
Great songs.
no sweat-you're doing fine-thanks for posting it,
best, Jim
You can also sing the Kingston Trio arrangement of "Hangman" over Matty Groves perfectly.
Well that was awesome to watch.
The Kingston Trio on The Roy Rogers Show. What more do you want out of life?
That's as good as it gets!
long time since i've seen the original trio.
I believe this may be the same show that featured the Kingston Trio, Roy Rogers and Dave Evans, George Goebel, the Everly Brothers, and maybe Johnny Cash, and more. They all did a guitar song at the opening and it was cool.
excellent!
I think this was from the Dinah Shore country show. Check out Oh" Cindy ". Same backdrop
That was Roy Rogers who was clapping, so I would assume that it was the Roy Rogers show.
One of the best ever!

Awesome!
Hey from Idaho
"shady grove" - same melody as "matty groves" by fairport convention
This is one of my favorites. It's a shame the video/audio are so out of sync by the end.
And on the Roy Rogers Show!. Wonderous.
Bobs guitar playing is so good!!!
Looks like Doc Watson, guitar, right side, mirror image.
i sincerely MISS my shady grove! :'O
If you enjoy this sound, check out Doc Watson!
Doc Watson and Earl Scruggs are in a league all their own.
