Since I was a little black girl in the 70's I have always loved bluegrass and country music, me and my sisters and brothers would watch The Grand old Opry. I always hid that side of me from other blacks but in this day and age 2019 you can express who you are and what you really like. Thank God!
God Bless you...Sweet Lady I remember those ol days came home from military in late 67 to Austin and first no one accepted my friends and I because of our Military appearance then they wouldn't accept us because of our shabby appearance....I have played blue grass Country and learn to play the blues in east Austin got to meet Freddie King, Mudy Waters John Lee Hooker and many others said in Austin because of appearance progressive Country now Americana anywho wishing yall many foot pattin times thanks for your sharing of your Love of Music....Goodness, Grace and Happiness always ol man way down in TX jd...and Good Health ! ❤

Thanks for posting this. My daddy was a bluegrass musician and he loved playing this song. Today is his 103rd birthday. Miss ya Dad. I know your enjoying your bluegrass band in Heaven. Blessings to everyone!
Alison Krauss amongst the Bluegrass Greats as a mere KID!! A mere Child at the time.... she's 51 now. Many have to Work and Work and Work to finally get to Major League and even FINALLY break through. Precious Alison just SHOWS UP!! And receives her recognition HUMBLY!! Oh My....so TALENTED, yet such a SWEETHEART of a a DECENT and HUMBLE Human Being. I've heard her in MANY interviews. NO EGO OR ARROGANCE at all.........even as AWESOME as her Singing and Playing "Definitely" is!!.......So many ARROGANT artists with not even HALF of Alison's Talent!!! God just BLESSED Her.........NO QUESTION!!!
Is it just me, or are there no egos here? You have assembled some of the very best bluegrass musicians and no one is hogging the spotlight (or the mic, for that matter). You can tell that they each enjoy one another's expertise. It's beautiful.
FanBritLit If they're not friends, they're compatriots in the craft and on the stage. Having been in the music business, I can tell you the really great ones enjoy one another's playing and playing with one another. Some of the shallow, nervous rockers I've known and dealt with (you'd know their names) were genuine jerks, but others were and still are friends. I'm sure there are some jerks out there somewhere in Bluegrass and older Country and Country and Western, but I haven't met them. And these boys ain't them! I've had nothing but good times and good new friends from the shows and concerts.
Sat on the floor beside my pop pop and watched this live on TV. That ole man was great in his day, had his time on the Grand ole Opry, put out too many tracks to number, drove truck for a good long while too. I lost him 3/14/2020 at 91 yrs young. Heart attack, passed at home quickly. Miss that man dearly. This one took me back. They don't make em like his kind no more and that goes for good country and blue grass music the same
This is 20/25 and this takes me back to the 1950s with my dad has his own country and western band I love this music I'm 73 now rest in Peace Dad I love you
I came across this video purely by chance a couple of days ago, and I've decided it's one of the most astonishing displays of individual and collective virtuosity -- and sheer joy of music-making -- that I've ever had the privilege to behold. Wow.
If you do not see why a Jazz musician would be in awe of this. Well I have heard that we have a common love of playing a tune and then SOLOING on it it in our personal way.based on the heart and soul of the musician and his life-world. I love Blue Grass. Yet my life has led me to express myself in Jazz. May we seek commonality and not division. This is the name of the Spirit that speaks to both of us. God Bless.
I never heard bluegrass growing up in Europe. However, I keep enjoying this performance a lot. Watched this probably 100 times and will come back again….
I agree with the comment about no egos and no selfishness. All of them were great musicians in their own right but came together to collaborate on this song.
Yes, I've always thought that, also I can hear Ireland in there too. I've often wondered about the origins of the banjo (my favorite), any ideas about that?? Thanks and hello from northern California.

@@andrewccochrane8052 What a co-incidence, I was just looking at pictures (faded) of my father's relatives from the end of the civil war. One relative who sent the pic has a copy of Roderick Shelton's discharge papers dated 16th day of August 1865, he was my father's great grandfather. America owes it all to the Scot's, Irish, and English. Thanks for the banjo info. I'm afraid America has forgotten her God, it doesn't look good for us right now.
There is a song written maybe 4 or 5 yrs ago called "God Loves Bluegrass Music" It is played and sang on a youtube channel called "Ocoee Parking Lot Bluegrass Jam." Great jams, A guy named Doug is always doing this jam and he does his song.
I'm a limey in Manchester England and that was wonderful . Such playing , such humility and such joy . That was thrilling and beautiful and Bluegrass like this is magical .
When ever I'm feeling a little down I put this on and I'm instantly in a better mood. Music is better than any drug in my opinion. What a great all-star team they had up on stage and RIP to those up there who are no longer with us but continue to bring us joy.
''Your epitaph says you died a wealthy man, but you can have it all come back and seal the master plan with Tombstone! It's Tombstone! It's Tombstone!''
I spent 56 years playing music, East to West, and North to South, and in Germany and Mexico. Now I just play for friends and for fun, but every time I see something like this, I'm back on the stage and re-living it. What GREAT memories! I thank God for the GIFT of Music!
These are fabulous instrumentalists. Bluegrass is not as easy as the band makes it appear to be. Love, “Rollin In My Sweet Baby’s Arms”. Love Bluegrass music!
I am a reformed metal head ,but now this pure and wonderful genre of music is my favorite . Bluegrass is awesome and this is a collection of some of the very best. Thanks for posting!
I have been to the USA three times. Florida, Las Vegas and New York. Texas is also great though I have never been there would love to see the Alamo and San Antonio though. But these days I am afraid of flying. Hope you have a great weekend. Greetings from Rotterd in the Netherlands.
Good morning Mark Honest. I have to reply no on all accounts. It's now 0830 AM and my day has just begun. So has work. Everything in Rotterdam in Just getting up and ready. If you know the Netherlands you know Rotterdam is the more dynamic city ( big port ) and Amsterdam is the more exciting and cultural/historical city. There's a big rivalry between the two. I am an odd one because I like Amsterdam and support Ajax Amsterdam. Hobbies are Dutch football history and antiques. And what about you. Are you married have any hobbies etc.
@Mark Honest good morning Mark. I am sorry to hear that. That must have a big impact on your life. I hope and trust that seeing your son grow up gives you a little bit of strength in these difficult times. When did you visit the Netherlands. Sometimes we call our country Holland but that's not fair to the rest of the Netherlands as Holland is only a small part allthough the most important part of it.
RIP John Hartford (died Nashville, lymphoma 2001). So wonderful to see him here, doin' his little shuffle dance, having such a great time with all these fabulous musicians..
My Mom has been gone almost 23 years but I grew up listening to her play guitar and her brother on the banjo! They sang this song a lot! Good memories!
When I was a kid in Ky., people carried their instruments in there car! We didn't have TV down there, but Mom and the guitar and her brother and banjo, people stopped by! We'd sit on the front porch and sing and dance! Grew up on this music! Love it!

My name is John Hartford and I didn't win a darn thing but I am in fast company and I am going to have ball. That was a good line.
Hello how are you doing?
He was the best and they all loved him. ❤️
Allison Krauss is still wowing us! 2023.
yep, gotta love Allison, have seen her in concert many times, love it!
Love her so very much! What an Angel Voice…🙏🎼❤️🇺🇸
Ever since I was a little fat black kid back in ky, Tony Rice always was an inspiration. Now that I'm grow'd up, skinny and white, He still is!

This is 100 years old and I still come back to it
Nothing better than bluegrass .
Family and friends getting
together and picking and singing.
Bluegrass music always gets me to grinning!
Or, As Buck Owens and Roy Clark used to say on Hee-Haw, "I'm a pickin' and I'm a grinnin'!
Best music ever
83 years old and still pickin the banjo . This brings back memories
this is beautiful... no fancy equipment, no autotune, no pyrotechnics, just good musicians having fun
The bassist was READY for his solo 😂
@@williamglendye1692 yes
It is so cool that RUclips has all this good 🎵 music.
The cream of Bluegrass ........loved here in Ireland, play this every day .........

its so good ,pure live playing class
Totally
I watched this live back in ‘91 on the American Music Shop show. Inspired me to learn the banjo
I envy you over in the USA,brilliant bluegrass and banjo exponents,respect from the UK.
I never heard this kinda music before. I like it.
wow Look up Bill Monroe!!
You gotta hear more Allison Kraus. Search Whiskey Lullaby
Oh Man -- Where you been all your life?????
what can i say ! Banjos love love love
Hahaha
THIS IS PURE AMERICAN MUSIC EXCELLENCE !!!
I’m an Aussie, in my 60’s and always loved me some bluegrass, I even tinker with a little mandolin on occasions myself:)
Thank God for RUclips,,, around here where I live Bluegrass is almost a forgotten Art,,,,

Another Canadian here, great bluegrass. Grew up listening to blues, bluegrass from 1959. Also RnR and country up to about 1972. Great music.
Hey how are you doing?
What an unbelievable group of talented musicians to be sharing the stage. If you are a fan of Bluegrass, you had to be lovin' this!
The amount of talent on that stage is amazing. Nuff said!
Dear Friends all over ! I live in France ,and I knew many musicians personally ...many are "gone" Mike Seeger, Doc and Merle Watson,
I may be from New York City but that music is cool
I'm a Frisian from the Netherlands and i loooooove bluegrass damn, i'm having a good time listening to this!
I was fortunate to see and John Hartford in small clubs in the 70's. Good Bluegrass is amazing. Allison Krauss is only 20, just a child
I saw most of them in the '70's & '80's. Wonderful musicians!
Revisit this once a year. Jaw drops every time. Hartford is a National treasure
Wonderful !! 👍👍❤
A room full of talent
Everybody so young! It still breaks my heart to think that John Hartford is gone. He was a tremendous talent, and so damned likable, too.
❤ We need Jojhn Hartford here with us !
Back when solid musical talent counted more than glamorous looks!
Geeze dude, it was only '91.
I love this live performance. Keep coming back to listen to it after many years. Cheers from a bluegrass-loving Mexican.
