I was in the Navy 1969-1973 stationed at NAVCOMSTA-WASH working in the Pentagon. Lots of greats were singing around Washington, D.C. then....Emmylou Harris, John Denver with Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert, even Roberta Flack. When I hear a song by any of them, I can't get it out of my head for days. I was born in the coal fields so a lot of that music sounds like home. EmmyLou always looks like an angel when she sings.
Try to live in at least one bluegrass or Americana festival in your life, whether you like this music or not. Spend as much time as you can in the performer camping area. Music played only by the love of the everyday people right there with you is life-changing.
Wonderful, wonderful a treasure and historic but best of all fantastic people making astounding music. You Tube for me is the absolutely best thing on the net.
yes, but i love her and her soooo hearttouching voice, esp. when she sings with dave rawlings. for me shes one of the most important singer in my musiclife. just a fine professional folkie
This "underrated" comment is so overused. Who is doing the rating here? I believe what you're getting at is that she is underappreciated. But in this day and age, how does one gauge appreciation? It sure isn't by record sales. She has a song about that on her revelator album, in fact. Check it out.
@@Lea99Jones I presumed it to be by those "rating" singers. There are a lot of those on youtube. Vocal coaches ( real and selfdeclared) who react to singers. Other than that I can only think the person meant critics?
Watching again, and again over the years. The music is next to my heart, the songs of the mountains and the south, and the countryside. The singers and musicians are treasures.
I loved more than anything seeing the fox family I grew up goin from bluegrass to bluegrass and I remember lil brother as a lil boy but then again we was all much younger back then y’all still sound just as beautiful as I remember
NYC boy who hated Country and especially Bluegrass music; as a young boy my dad sent me to live with relatives in Virginia and North Carolina. I can't remember listening or hearing any music there, tho I know it must have been in the background prominently featured. Years and years later when Rock, Hard Rock, and Acid Rock lost all their glitters, I noticed Country there as the foundations of the Blues (which I still love to this day) and even more foundational in there was Bluegrass music. It's an amazing form, way far underrated. These performers tip the scales quite heaviy in pure raw talent. I couldn't turn this video off, jaw dropping stuff.. Leave it to the Cohen brothers to find the beauty of it all. Numb and dazed by it.. btw.. John Hartford (now deceased) was the pillar on which this show rested as its touchstone. RIP John
I had the privilege of attending this show. The audience was almost as interesting as the show - I spotted Ricky Skaggs, Billy Bob Thornton, Frances McDormand, and Joel and Ethan Coen. I'm sure there plenty more.
The white volvo station wagon seen @ 2:30 was used to pick up Ralph Stanley from the airport. I bought it from the lady who drove him in November, 2001. I totaled it six weeks later on Christmas Day.
Dr Ralph Stanley Bluegrass old time mountain style music 🎶 🎶 is revered here In Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 This whole movie Ring true 👍 😌 👌 The who who of bluegrass tis a feeling Similar to our own traditional Irish music When you hear it you know.. Righteous.. Thanks for sharing We are better human beings for having watched this lullaby&field holler.👍 😊 😀 🙂 🙏 ☺ 👍
This is music from your country, and others of Great Britain, Ralph Stanley is from the southern central Appalachian Mountains. It is the music his family played, predating Bluegrass. It came from the music the Scot-Irish, brought over in the 1700’s.
All of mothers nature gifts that She will bless us with 😅 but I only use it.. FOR my arthritis, glaucoma, Rumatizum an soma Nia Head aches Stiffness, in all the wrong places and sometimes for General discomfort.
He's been my hero since he was a regular on (one of) The Smothers Brothers' Show(s) back in the (early 70s?) Somehow or another, the album _Mark Twang_ (1976) found its way into our household at about that time. And he was Glen Campbell's banjo picker, if I remember correctly. Those were good times for music.... According to Google, both tv series (and the Johnny Cash show) happened between 1968 and 1971. Before any of them was "Gentle on My Mind," which he wrote and recorded in the mid-60s. The GC version was in 1968, if I remember correctly.
Had the pleasure of seeing him perform and sit with a a small little bar in Hallowell Maine…in the 80’s I believe. What a great musician and an even better person?🥰
This whole video is great. But man, when John starts playing his fiddle @1:11:42, it put serious chills down my arms. The passion and spirit he had for that music always inspires me when I hear him play. RIP John Hartford!
"I'm a frustrated librarian. Rather than be a banjo picker or steamboat pilot, I'd like to be some guy who sits behind a desk and goes 'shh!'" I'd like to hear where that conversation went. 😊
There's lots about John Hartford on TH-cam. It's worth seeking out. He was an amazing, multi-talented man and he really did have the most amazing archive in his house by the river.
They didn't sing the signature song from the movie (I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow(s?))!? Brother Where Art Thou is a classic and got this Yankee boy hooked on the music. And now I know who Emmy Lou Harris IS! Now I have to watch the movie AGAIN!!! (I'm hooked on the dang thing!) I never get tired of watching it! (c=
I seen this when it came out to Moore Auditorium on the Webster University Campus in 2001 . It was and still is a Outstanding Performance. Bravo. I got my pic taken with Ralph Stanley not too long before he passed. A Treasure all this Music.
I have always loved the work by Joel and Ethan Coen, and especially O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU and A SERIOUS MAN.....so "Down from the Mountain" is this morning (11-26-23) helping me get up from a stinging bout with the flu to hear some wonderful nusic--all of it from deep in the roots of American. I feel better already!
...there's some inexplicable magic going on there , maybe its the historic auditorium or god was looking down on Nashville that day , …its just too perfect , the dang thing's alive and live with not a note out of place , whew .. just incredible transceding music !
I say there's only two sorts of people. Those who repeat that anecdote on the TH-cam comments of any video of Emmylou Harris and the rest of us normal people who've heard that a thousand times
The lovely and amazing Alison Krauss. She is the ONLY singer who could, or ever should, sing the song " I Need You at the Dimming of the Day. No one else has ever done justice to it.
Great memories of the Cox family at concerts, and John Hartford as a pilot and entertainer on the Julia Belle Swain! Also Gillian Welch and David Rawlings at Merlefest!
The most genuine music you could find, thank you to all involved for turning me to country music.
Brother Stanley’s voice is what we think is our grandparents sounded like. RIP to all those gentle folks.
Like a bracing breath of fresh air.
Amen brother!
He sounds like I remember old men singing in the Western Highlands of Scotland. It certainly is 'a lonesome sound'.
Absolutely beautiful
I was in the Navy 1969-1973 stationed at NAVCOMSTA-WASH working in the Pentagon. Lots of greats were singing around
Washington, D.C. then....Emmylou Harris, John Denver with Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert, even Roberta Flack. When I hear a song

EmmyLou always looks like an angel when she sings.
Emmylou Harris, Alison Krauss and Gillian Welch together... heaven
Anyone sounds better when accompanied by Emmylou Harris!
They are wonderful.
A special performance.
👍👍❤️🌺👍👍
Kitty Well she give you a feelings Love , Happy , Sad she touched the hearts of the world 🌍🌍❤
what a delight it was, being the physician for the tour...still friends with most of the surviving members of the troupe...s
I'm 82 yrs young. Grew up with this music. Carries me back ! Beautiful, authentic true.
Me too!
Folks, it just don't get no better than this.
Ralph Stanley is a national treasure, he will be memorialized in Nashville and the Smithsonian!
I love you Dr. Stanley. The most stedy hands in music 🎵🎶
For you youngsters out there, the guy in the hat is John Hartford: banjo, fiddle, guitar. He wrote "Gentle On My Mind."
I always though Jimmy Webb wrote that- thanks for the info!
Man of the people
Tall Buildings - my!
He was an amazing, multi-talented man. Lots about him on TH-cam - well worth seeking out.
Made my evening on a cold grey rainy day on Cape Cod! Unimaginably perfectly wonderful music and musicians- all good people! Thanku thanku
Try to live in at least one bluegrass or Americana festival in your life, whether you like this music or not.
Spend as much time as you can in the performer camping area.
Music played only by the love of the everyday people right there with you is life-changing.
Acoustic bluegrass around a campfire is transcendent.
Absolutely ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
Wonderful, wonderful a treasure and historic but best of all fantastic people making astounding music. You Tube for me is the absolutely best thing on the net.
What a great joy to see all these legends and incredible musicians together on one stage, the genius of T Bone Burnett. Beautiful music.
I listen this type music most of the time. This has ever even came up on TH-cam I really like it.
I'm a country boy from Ireland loves this song
Rest in peace, Dr. Ralph Stanley and John Hartford!
Willard and Marie Cox of the Cox family.
This is an hour and a half of pure pure joy.
Real music from real musicians unlike what we have today.😢
Husband and I just watched this from South Africa and totally enchanted by the all the music from the heart. Magic ❤
Gillian Welch is one of the most underrated vocalists in music today.
yes, but i love her and her soooo hearttouching voice, esp. when she sings with dave rawlings. for me shes one of the most important singer in my musiclife. just a fine professional folkie
Is she really? Next to whom?
I agree
This "underrated" comment is so overused. Who is doing the rating here?

There is nothing on this earth like a Mother's love and often it brings out in them something like heaven on earth.
Lord have mercy! I hear music from the Scotland highlands, an Irish jig, and a whole of other music including MS blues! Love it all!
DONT FORGET CHOIRS FROM WALES….THE BEST!!
Watching again, and again over the years. The music is next to my heart, the songs of the mountains and the south, and the countryside. The singers and musicians are treasures.
There just aren't enough fine words to adequately describe the collective performances of these consummate artists.
Amen!
Absolutely ! The talent in these artistes is the pinnacle .
I thought the Cox family was fabulous... that female lead singer... OUTSTANDING.
I live in the hills and mountains of Arkansas and I’ve always loved bluegrass, mountain folk and American folk music.
I loved the movie 🎥 but the music 🎶🎵 is what I grew up listening 🎧 to in my hometown area of Roanoke Virginia 💙
I only wish there was a way to applaud for each song, rather than give a thumbs up. I would applaud every one of them!
The John Hartford solo is just so heartbreaking. He knows, everyone knows, he is on his way out soon.
I loved more than anything seeing the fox family I grew up goin from bluegrass to bluegrass and I remember lil brother as a lil boy but then again we was all much younger back then y’all still sound just as beautiful as I remember
Cox family idk why my phone wants to change it to fox but they r the cox family just like my granny

I born N.Z and live N.Z but 87-90 lived Cary NC. Did grade one and 2 there. I remember a bit. Seemed great to me.
Wonderful honor having the great John Hartford as master of ceremonies !!
Sad to see the cancer taking its toll on him.
I had the privilege of attending this show. The audience was almost as interesting as the show - I spotted Ricky Skaggs, Billy Bob Thornton, Frances McDormand, and Joel and Ethan Coen. I'm sure there plenty more.
Great music came up on my feed. Love it. Hard to turn it off. I`m from Norway, and the only one I know is Emmylou Harris😍 thank you for the music👌
Nothing like old time music in tough times,may peace be with you in Yeshua s name.
I stumbled across this and it has really been a blessing.
Thank you for this Great beautiful music!❤❤❤🎼🎶🎵🎸🪕❤❤❤
The white volvo station wagon seen @ 2:30 was used to pick up Ralph Stanley from the airport.

Everyone has 5 minutes of fame
Gotta be one of the greatest presentations I've seen.

Proud to say George winn was my neighbor for 40 years ...listening to bluegrass is a way of life here
Oh I'm 81 but in my head 25 years old, still smoking all the ......
I'am 71 and I am a big fan of Jimmy Rodgers.I call it folk music. That
always makes music special.
I'm stickin' to, mountain music.

Oua' [s that one always makes me cry😢
All of mothers nature gifts that She will bless us with 😅 but I only use it.. FOR my arthritis, glaucoma,

Head aches
Stiffness, in all the wrong places and sometimes for
General discomfort.
One of my cherished possessions is Ralph's autograph on the Oh brother Album I have,
There's nothin like Kentucky poor. Just so gripping music... Sad and blue. Great one.
So Beautiful and brings back Precious Memories!
Superb show of true music... What talents... From France.
My Dad played back Guitar for the Stanley Brothers in the late Fifties.
How wonderful to have the legendary John Hartford captured in time!
He's been my hero since he was a regular on (one of) The Smothers Brothers' Show(s) back in the (early 70s?) Somehow or another, the album _Mark Twang_ (1976) found its way into our household at about that time. And he was Glen Campbell's banjo picker, if I remember correctly.

Had the honor of seeing him perform twice in the late 70s.
Memorable!
Had the pleasure of seeing him perform and sit with a a small little bar in Hallowell Maine…in the 80’s I believe. What a great musician and an even better person?🥰
This music awakens the soul
This music makes me puke.
Found this,boy what a surprise. All my favorite artists in one place.❤❤❤
I can’t believe I came across this tonight. My wife and I saw this show in Milwaukee. Hands down the best music I have ever listened to.
This whole video is great.
But man, when John starts playing his fiddle @1:11:42, it put serious chills down my arms. The passion and spirit he had for that music always inspires me when I hear him play. RIP John Hartford!
I love this..Thank you..Greetings from Germany ❤️❤️❤️
How wonderful to see John Hartford talking about his greatest love- The River.
I cried during that part. With chills.
One of the very few, privileged enough to have a riverboat pilots license!
Probably the most important part a river gives life
@@valbolger6796 Very true.
So beautiful to hear this kind of music I love it wish it could still be this away. Thank you from my heart Charlie Clark.
I'm from the Missouri Ozarks this is the music I listened to from WSM 650 Grand Ole Opry it will always be endeared to me.
wonderful. I am grandchild of Virginia coal miner and daughter of musicians.

Just one of the most beautiful programs I've seen in a very long time. Glorious.

Doh! I bought the DVD of this, then found it here!

There is nothing more American than Emmylou Harris and Baseball

Ralph Stanley sang it while the entering credits were being shown.
Ralph Stanley crushed it, sent chills down my back.
Boy, that Mike Compton was all over this. One of my favorites.
In the background throughout the whole concert, fantastic performance!
I LOVE THE COX FAMILY!!! GOD IS GREAT!
Who else is here bc of the Billy Strings Halloween theme for 2024? 😂I’m so hyped for this
Yup
The Cox Family was wonderful! Suzanne has just a fantastic voice. The whole concert is balm for the soul. THANK you so much for this upload. 👍

Perfect, just perfect. No further description is needed.
Gotta love it Emmy Lou Harris!!! Thanks sweet hart.
Hart is spelled "heart".
I can't believe that I just found this. Nothing short of spectacular with so many favorites. Thanks so much!
I watched this excellent film again tonight. Thank you so much for providing it ad-free. 🥰
Hello 👋 Denise how are you doing today yourself?
What a beautiful, special concert ! And as the cherry on the cake, my all time favorite singer/fiddler, Alison Krauss.
Thnx !
Just saw Jerry at Grey Fox!!!! So dang good!!! Such amazing music. Been listening to Emmylou all my life
So much harmony. What a treat.
Utterly fantastic ... those harmonies talk to the heart
...there's some inexplicable magic going on there , maybe its the historic auditorium or god was looking down on Nashville that day , …its just too perfect , the dang thing's alive and live with not a note out of place , whew .. just incredible transceding music !
Little bit of both Maybe,could be there wouldn't be no Grand Ole Opry or historic Auditorium unless God was looking down on Nashville
Loved every minute!
😅Willie Nelson always said “2 kinds of people”. Those who love Emmylou Harris and those who have never met her
OMG! I LOVE BOTH OF YOU!
@@aandrews7106 you are soooo right!!!! God love willie in his last days!!
@@Sluggo01 Why do you say that?

This is probably the best Ryman auditorium program that’s ever been done. Amazing.
Hello! How are you doing today! Please pardon me for intruding into your privacy but I just wanted to know if you're a fan!.. Stay safe
Very good,,musta been made quite a few years ago. First time seeing this.
Listening to music on Sunday Everyone so very beautiful with there on style.Thank you for sharing much love to all❤❤❤❤
missing "in constant sorrow....." - beautiful
awesome, every minute of it
This just cropped up in my feed somehow, it's beautiful! Thanks for the upload!
Gillian, thank you forever for this. You know what? It’s a hymn meant for mountain dulcimer. Makes me want to sing my pathetic heart out.❤
What a treasure of musicians!
The lovely and amazing Alison Krauss. She is the ONLY singer who could, or ever should, sing
the song " I Need You at the Dimming of the Day.
No one else has ever done justice to it.
She sure can sing and play that fiddle, can't she 🎻
Bonnie R’s version is great too.
Listen to Suzanne Cox sing!
Great memories of the Cox family at concerts, and John Hartford as a pilot and entertainer on the Julia Belle Swain! Also Gillian Welch and
David Rawlings at Merlefest!
What a gift this is thank you
