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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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?🥰
"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.
...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 !
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!
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=
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 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 loved this so much, and it would have been even way more wonderful with just a quick caption of who each musician is. We are old, and spent an inordinate amount of time trying to remember or figure out who each person is…
Terrific movie with so many great musicians. Wonderful to see John Hartford recorded again before he left us to play in the hereafter band. Thanks for posting.
I also loved the movie so very much, immediately bought the soundtrack and listened to it a thousand times. These musicians are so awesome and they've given me years of pleasure. I particularly love Alison Krauss- I'm from South Africa and was privileged to go on a number of road trips to America where I bought a double cd by Alison + Union Station. Extraordinary
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 Cox Family performed at many bluegrass festival with the band I was in, Steve and Stacey Birdwell and the Deep South. I had the honor of playing upright bass at the St. Maurice Bluegrass Festival in St. Maurice, LA with Buck White and the Down Home Folks. I played the whole set with them and had never heard of Ricky Scaggs or Jerry Douglas. Unfortunately, on a trip back to Cotton Valley, an 18 wheeler hit their van head on. Willard's wife was killed instantly and Willard was in the hospital for a long time but, when released, he came home and played for a while but eventually he passed away, too.
Please check your facts before commenting. Willard and his wife were involved in a collision with a logging truck (they were stationary) in 2000 after which Willard was left in a wheelchair but his wife didn’t die until 2009 from breast cancer.
@@mooskamoo that's the way my dads parents died...and I would never bring this up but, I feel it. Grandpa died from a truck running a red light in Myrtle Beach and grandma was critical...but she held out. Unfortunately cancer three years after is how we lost the strongest women I have ever known
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
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 🌍🌍❤
Ralph Stanley is a national treasure, he will be memorialized in Nashville and the Smithsonian!
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.
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.
Folks, it just don't get no better than this.
Rest in peace, Dr. Ralph Stanley and John Hartford!
Willard and Marie Cox of the Cox family.
There is nothing more American than Emmylou Harris and Baseball
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?

Made my evening on a cold grey rainy day on Cape Cod! Unimaginably perfectly wonderful music and musicians- all good people! Thanku thanku
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.
Maybe hill 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,
Rumatizum
an soma Nia
Head aches
Stiffness, in all the wrong places and sometimes for
General discomfort.
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!
There is nothing on this earth like a Mother's love and often it brings out in them something like heaven on earth.
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 ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
I thought the Cox family was fabulous... that female lead singer... OUTSTANDING.
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.
Everyone has 5 minutes of fame
My Dad played back Guitar for the Stanley Brothers in the late Fifties.
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!!
We got lots of love for you John Prine
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 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 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 John Hartford solo is just so heartbreaking. He knows, everyone knows, he is on his way out soon.
Where is that solo please?

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.
This is an hour and a half of pure pure joy.
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.
I loved the movie 🎥 but the music 🎶🎵 is what I grew up listening 🎧 to in my hometown area of Roanoke Virginia 💙
One of my cherished possessions is Ralph's autograph on the Oh brother Album I have,
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'm a country boy from Ireland loves this song
This music awakens the soul
This music makes me puke.
Ralph Stanley- a cappella 👍👍👍👍💚💚💚💚
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!
I listen this type music most of the time. This has ever even came up on TH-cam I really like it.
Boy, that Mike Compton was all over this. One of my favorites.
In the background throughout the whole concert, fantastic performance!
Husband and I just watched this from South Africa and totally enchanted by the all the music from the heart. Magic ❤
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.
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.
I live in the hills and mountains of Arkansas and I’ve always loved bluegrass, mountain folk and American folk music.
I stumbled across this and it has really been a blessing.
i just love everything and everyone who worked this movie for us . love from iraq
There's nothin like Kentucky poor. Just so gripping music... Sad and blue. Great one.
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

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?🥰
Every song makes me cry... every performance deserves a standing ovation ..
I LOVE THE COX FAMILY!!! GOD IS GREAT!
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
Real music from real musicians unlike what we have today.😢
Nothing like old time music in tough times,may peace be with you in Yeshua s name.
Thank you for this Great beautiful 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
National Treasure.....Amazing!
This whole video is great.

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👌
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.
Superb show of true music... What talents... From France.

Ralph Stanley sang it while the entering credits were being shown.
T Bone Burnett for the win again.
Just one of the most beautiful programs I've seen in a very long time. Glorious.
😘💐💐💐
Joyful. Born out of strife but joyful...
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.
Doh! I bought the DVD of this, then found it here!
Cheers for posting.
wonderful. I am grandchild of Virginia coal miner and daughter of musicians.
So Beautiful and brings back Precious Memories!
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.
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.
Thank you for posting this, John Hartford, still alive, made me cry, and Gillian Welch is still the best of the best.
Me, too!
missing "in constant sorrow....." - beautiful
I especially liked the Cox Family from Cotton Valley, Louisiana.
The Cox family sent me to the next Stratosphere !!!
I loved this so much, and it would have been even way more wonderful with just a quick caption of who each musician is. We are old, and spent an inordinate amount of time trying to remember or figure out who each person is…
Found this,boy what a surprise. All my favorite artists in one place.❤❤❤
Terrific movie with so many great musicians. Wonderful to see John Hartford recorded again before he left us to play in the hereafter band. Thanks for posting.
Love, love,. LOVE THIS❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ Thank you so very much❣️
I could watch the whole movie again and again just to get to the last ten minutes
I guess we will all join the Hereafter Band ?
Beautiful singing, love this so much, Thank you for sharing 👋👋💯⭐❤️😻

I fucking love this concert. Me and my dad found it on sky arts one day and both sat in awe. Beautiful singing and beautiful instruments.
So beautiful to hear such sweet music.
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!
Should check out Mary Black singing Dimming of the Day.
Have the hardest time listening and not weeping at the beauty.
Just saw Jerry at Grey Fox!!!! So dang good!!! Such amazing music. Been listening to Emmylou all my life
Ralph Stanley crushed it, sent chills down my back.
