Found two complete shows of the group from that year. th-cam.com/video/vewupMUJDG8/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/1_efMQABOKw/w-d-xo.html

I was there that day. I was 14 yo. My uncle, William Mullins, hired Ralph to play at the grand opening of his store, Wilco. Later it was sold to Singleton’s. I recall Ralph introducing two young guys but many years later realized they were Ricky Skaggs and Keith Whitley. There’s sure a lot of talent playing on that flatbed truck!

cant be good for the strings

Nicely done

Here because of billy strings!

Somebody needs to move there car lol.. love it

Priceless

That looks so old timey. I played right there 30 years later. Even now 22 years after that, it seems like yesterday. Time flys !

Awesome I truly loved this video, also wondering if anyone had an idea of how old Keith was at this time.

Who needs frets?

Classic and very good. 👍 🎶

😎🇺🇸👍

Keith so young he hadn’t yet come into his iconic hillbilly voice yet.

Young Keith Whitley and Ricky Skaggs together in the back! What a line up! With the unmatched voice of Ralph Stanley! ❤

Keith so young here. It looks like they had not yet discovered his super powers, that wailing old hillbilly voice yet! All the singers are excellent, and the famed unmatchable Ralph Stanley, of course, but when Ralph gave Keith more songs to sing lead in later years, those are some of my favorites.

Incredibly good, Kris! How the heck did you transcribe that so perfectly? Love it!

Amazing instrument

Thanks for posting again! Nice job I love that tune. That Granada sounds nice

Is that a raised head Kris?

Getting chased by outlaws on horse while getting shot at and this guy playing this banger while you're fighting for your life

Banjo players always impress me. I play guitar, but Id have to practice another 5-10 years to come anywhere near as close to this level of skill.

🤩👍👏

“We don’t do the Foggy Mountain Breakdown”. God bless you Ralph.

Father's day 2024 men great music 😊

Oh man there’s so many of my favorite Stanley songs in this footage talk about a great show I would’ve paid 200 dollars for a show like this especially with the talent on that stage at that time.

This is just fkn incredible

Maybe its just me, but anybody notice at 1:05 Roy Lee flubbed the chorus of 'Midnight Train' kinda like Carter used to do to get Ralph to crack up and smile. And just my opinion, but Ralph looked like he got a tad bit nervous. He knew he had found a gem when he hired Roy Lee Centers, the closest there ever was to his late brother Carter. He always seems like kinda a live wire on stage and his vocals and guitar is always on point. I've heard Ralph had said even the way Roy Lee drank a cup of coffee and smoked a cigarette was reminiscent of Carter. I wonder how it would've been if he hadn't died so young? He would've went far I believe. Man, I'd damn near kill to have seen this show in person. Anybody have any thoughts?

baby Keith and Ricky

Spent most of my early childhood in Pound. Found out later in life that my great mamaw’s 2nd husband was Sam Stanley, Ralph’s uncle. Many fond memories of Sam. Sure wish I I had met Ralph.

Oh man I really enjoyed this video! 😊 Great Mountain Style Blue Grass being played here. Thanks so much for sharing! 👍🏻

WOW!! They were smokin !
