Just a sunning line up
@@mariannorton4161 Amazing collection of talent!
@@desperateambrose5373 Flat incredible
Steve Martin. Comedian, actor AND banjo player! He used the banjo in his standup comedy shows and really wowed the crowd with his skill!
The gray haired banjo player... very respectable banjo player I might add!
This is Bluegrass at it's best. I grew up listening to Bluegrass music and as a kid my dad would take us to Bluegrass festivals where I met Flatt & Scruggs, The Osborne Brothers, The Stanley Brothers and many more.
I now live in the mountains of eastern Tennessee, where my father was born and raised. There are still Bluegrass jam sessions being held here in the mountains and it is a lot of fun.
The talent that you see at these back woods shows is incredible.
RIP Bobby Osborne
My daddy is from the mountains and part of the reason why I actually play the mandolin
Your ears have been blessed by the VERY BEST 👌
Don’t forget Bill Monroe.🙌🏻
Grew up and still live in the foothills of the smokies. Love good blugrass.
Everyone in this jam session is a major legend in music/acting
In case no one has told you the gentleman on the piano was Paul Shafer(sp) from The David Letterman Show. The gentleman sitting down was Earl Scruggs. He was one of the most famous banjo players ever! You should react to more of his work. Vince Gill was on the electric guitar and Marty Stewart was standing beside him playing the mandolin. One of Earl’s sons Randy was also in it playing guitar.
plus two other legends - Jerry Douglas on dobro and Leon Russell on organ
Also the white haired guy playing banjo is the actor Steve Martin. Guy that played pink panther, dirty by the dozen and many other movies I can't even think right now.
Don't forget leon russell on the key board there ( guy with long white beard and hair. The guy that wrote qnd sang the song " a song for you" which most people think donny Hathaway wrote and sang but it's leon Russell's song. I could set here for hours qnd talk about all these legends in this one video. Awesome reactions keep it up
Thanks y’all, I couldn’t remember everyone.
The infamous British guitarist Albert Lee (Mr. Telecaster) is also on that stage.
There's a lot of big names playing in that room! Steve Martin is the actor you're talkin' about; his other talent is playin' the banjo!
Steve Martin has a few albums out, and if I’m not mistaken was at least nominated for a Grammy, although I’m not sure if it won.
@@rogeroran2911he has a total of FIVE Grammy wins -
-2 for comedy albums (1978’s Let’s Get Small and 1979’s A Wild and Crazy Guy) ,
-1 for Best Country Instrumental Performance (2002 for “Foggy Mountain Breakdown” *this very performance*, shared with the other performers here)
-1 for Best Bluegrass Album (2010 for the album The Crow: New Songs for the 5-String Banjo)
and
-1 for Best American Roots Song (2014 for the song “Love Has Come for You”, with Edie Brickell)
And that’s just his wins… he’s been nominated a total of 11 times.
@@imweakfordeaky thanks for the info.
Yes that actor is Steve Martin. He's won 5 Grammy awards. 2 for his legendary comedy albums in the 1970's. I'm now 62 years old and remember them well. He's won 3 more for Blue Grass music. Playing with Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers. Great stand up comedian, actor and blue grass musician. He is one talented man.
A must discover is country legend Vince Gill (on electric guitar). His music could crossover to R&B today.
One of his past musical jobs was as the lead singer for Pure Prairie League...
All GOATS!!!! Love some Bluegrass every now and then!
I've been waiting for someone to react to this.thank u!!That's what u call a jam session,lol.
This was fun! The actor playing the banjo is Steve Martin and he did do a few movies but he used to do a lot of stand up comedy too. He is the guy in the SNL video of King Tut. Thanks Greg!
Leon Russell is on electric keyboard.
@@dogsoldiertoo1099 Leon Russel looks so cool! Paul Shafer is hysterical on piano! Everyone of them is a major star.
FYI: This is a bluegrass instrumental and the 'dancing' is called clogging. Both Vince Gill and Marty Stuart are great guitarists too.
I heard it called Clogging as well. A friend of mine was real good at it.
This is what you call unadulterated talent, pure and simple.
A surprise for you! The songwriting legend with the long silver hair and beard is Leon Russel. He wrote so many hit songs! One you would know is: A Song for You (Donny Hathaway); Superstar (The Carpenters and Luther Vandross).
Plus playing guitar and being band leader for Joe Cocker. He went to high school and played music then with David Gates, of Bread fame.
This is standard blue grass instrumental. I’ve been hearing it my whole life. This was a great performance by all the musicians. enjoyed your reaction, good job.
I’ve been playing bluegrass for 40 years love it. Happy music
This is the type of tracks that let you experience basically EVERY SINGLE STYLE OF PLAY. The fiddle using the bow, you got guitar "strumming", not to mention "plucking" with "slide guitar" action. Plus different instruments to bring in different sounds AND seeing some unexpected talent from people.
Depending on what part of the country you grew up in there are several different terms". "Square Dancing" "Clogging" "Flat Footin". The actor/comedian is Steve Martin who has his own Bluegrass band the "Steep Canyon Rangers". You should definitely check them out since you liked this song so much! Great reaction young man!🤠🤠🤠
Just an FYI, the banjo originated in Africa as a gourd with strings on it. Earl Scruggs popularized that style of banjo playing in the 1940s. Steve Martin, comedian and actor, was playing the second banjo. Paul Schafer, band leader on David Letterman's show, was the piano player. The first guitar player was country star Vince Gill. The mandolin player was Marty Stuart, another country star.
Nobody has more fun than Paul Schaeffer!
No effects, no pedals no nonsense, just genuine talent.
This was an amazing performance. I'm going to second the suggestion earlier in the comments that Vince Gill and Marty Stuart are both worth checking out. My suggestions:
Oklahoma Borderline --Vince Gill
Pretty Little Adriana --Vince Gill
Marty Stuart --- Hillbilly Rock
Steve Martin was on the banjo. He is an actor and a comedian
Part of the soundtrack to "Bonnie & Clyde" in 1967. Perfect! 😎
These are some of the best musicians in Nashville And the actors name is Steve Martin
Steve has been playing the banjo longer than he’s been cracking jokes
Earl Scruggs (the banjo player in the middle) is a LEGEND. He was one of the founding fathers of bluegrass back in the '40s, when he was doing stuff on the banjo that nobody had ever heard before. "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" is his signature tune.
So good and lots of famous musicians in this one. Great reaction Greg!
Love seeing young people enjoying our true roots of all kinds in music and talk about icons in all kinds of genre this stage is history....
❤
First time i ever went to a bluegrass festival, i was hooked. A rock concert was never able to come close to matching it
Bluegrass came from the music Scottish & British immigrants who settled in Kentucky and other Appalachian areas . The fiddle , guitar were the most prominent instruments used , later the bango became popular with bluegrass musicians.
All of them are fantastic! What a wonderful collaboration!!❤️
This is HILLBILLY STOMPING MUSIC!!!!❤❤❤
This is real bluegrass music, there are so many great player's in this video, the guy in the brown jacket or shirt is Vince Gill, piano player is Paul Shaffer, FROM the David letterman, show back in the day, actor Steve Martin, on the banjo and Marty Stuart, playing mandolin, Leon Russell, playing piano, with the long beard, old man in middle on banjo is Earl Scruggs, so many great player's
Finally someone got in to Bluegrass. Mountain Running music. 68 Chevelle SS.🌄🏁. Steve Martin. This is real American Picking. Gotta be Great.
You should listen to the original by Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs . They also did the intro music for The Beverley Hillbillies tv show . So much talent on that stage .
some good ol' bluegrass!! don't 4get leon russell on piano as well as paul schafer ....
Bluegrass has the somebof the most technically skilled or talent musicians in any genre. Very very skilled musicians
Thanks for your reaction 💖🦋
I remember watching this is on CMT as a kid! One of my first introductions to bluegrass music. ❤
It’s been fun watching you react to older music 5:43
Get a jug of White Lighting set in the yard after the cook out relax & enjoy great home grow music
Never get tired of this vid! So much talent on that stage; best of the best, right there! DANG! Great to see you younger folks listening to this stuff. The world would be a better place if more people listened to Bluegrass!
This is the best flat footin song ever!
With this song, most everyone gets a chance to solo. They can do the original or improvise during their part, as long as they are finished at the appropriate time. Top notch musicians on this version, as others have mentioned.
Paul from letterman on piano wow talk about across america this stage has it all....awesome❤❤❤❤
Thanks for reviewing this! You might also want to google "Five Men with Banjos Who Know How to Use Them." It was the same piece done on the Letterman Show, including Scruggs, Martin and Schaeffer, but with a stronger focus on the banjos.
Oh wow!! Doin’ some good ole knee slapping bluegrass today! I like it very much! Thanks y’all 🙏🏼Namaste 👵🏼☮️💜
This is Bluegrass with an all-star band!!!
Dig Leon Russell in the background, just quietly (as opposed to Paul Schaffer 🤣) groovin' away. What a cool cat Leon was.
PS - love your reaction to Paul Shaffer, the dude on piano and having a good time!
Earl Scruggs, if I'm not mistaken, wrote "Foggy Mountain Breakdown".
Clogging from the Southern Appalachian Mountains aka as flat footin in other parts. This is a very old instrumental from the 60s when Lester Flatts and Earl Scruggs played together all the time.
Paul Shaffer from David Letterman show.on piano.
Looks like Leon Russell in the back on organ.
It would be considered square dance music. Back in the day, following a mountain breakdown was one of the original songs of Lester flattened Earl scrubs back in the day. This song has been covered and redone by many many artists just a great instrumental
You really should React to the Steeldrivers with Chris Stapleton singing lead . I suggest the Blue side of the Mountain & If it hadn't been for love .. both 🔥🔥🔥
Bluegrass, mountain music
Pure talent in the room.
'Hand clapping, knee slapping, foot tapping' good old fashioned song.
Hot damn!, that’s some bluegrass with a twist,haha!😊
the ghost looking guy is, i believe is leon Russel.
Huge line up block buster. All backing up the old man in the middle ..... Earl Scruggs
😂 I believe the actor was steve martin? But I remember him being an expert banjo player on a few shows
😂 and that piano man is paul schaffer from the late show with David Letterman
This is old time bluegrass hoedown music very very old time. Just jammin down on hoedown music.
This is a Great Show of talent for this Bluegrass Music ❤
Fabulous musicians!
Omg bluegrass love it
I think you were thinking of two-stepping. The tall guy on electric guitar is Vince Gill. And he’s not just a great guitarist. You MUST hear his voice. I recommend starting with “When I Call Your Name.”
On Vince Gill, my 2 favorites are "Give Me Once Last Chance" and "Don't Let Our Love Start Slipping Away" and the official videos are the best.
This ain't a two step.
@@nancyjanzen5676 Nah, but that’s what he was thinking of. In my hillbilly family, we’d stand in a circle and hop around and flatfoot to this.
If you love the banjo work here. Try watching a Ralph Stanley video. Ralph was called the Dr of bluegrass. People clogg to music like this. I was raised on bluegrass music, and at 40 I still listen to it.
Hes an actor and great banjo player
this song was used in the 1960's movie Bonnie & Clyde - in the scenes were the cps were chasing them after robbing a bank
Steve Martin, Marty Stewart, Vince Gill, Paul Shaffer, and of course, Earl Scruggs (from Flatt & Scruggs).
This is Bluegrass alot of mountain people clogg to this music.
Listen to Allison Krauss
This music is called "bluegrass"it originated from West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee,the actor you recognized was Steve Martin.😀😀
You need to get the album (LP or CD) of Flatt and Scruggs in Carnegie Hall, live concert in 1962.
Great stuff.
A room full of legends
I did not know this but I believe it should be noted, and thank you for creating it! "The modern banjo derives from instruments that have been recorded to be in use in North America and the Caribbean since the 17th century by enslaved people taken from West and Central Africa." Wikipedia
EARL is from my home town lol
Line dancing was the word I think you were looking for.
He's a Wild and Crazy Guy! Steve Martin!
To hear/see this bluegrass style applied to a more contemporary song, Iron Horse's cover of (Sir) Elton John's "Rocket Man" would be an excellent choice. Go for the original video version instead of a live rendition. -- better sound quality.
It's the music to chase Bad Guys with. bang bang!
And the white hair guy in the back playing banjo is Steve Martin the actor/comedian.
Foggy Mountain Breakdown bluegrass instrumental, written by Earl Scruggs in 1949. Just an FYI.
You think the finger movement is insane in this check out Billy strings "dust in a baggie" from the grand ole Opry or Michael Cleveland "Lee highway blues" live ...insanse
When he grows up he wants to be Tommy Emmanuel.
It's Blue Grass
Yes the Banjo player is an actor named Steve Martin and he is also a stand up comedian
LOL Bluegrass! The actor is Steve Martin.
They were just having fun. lol Actually I prefer the original version from the movie Bonny and Clyde. It still had Earl Scruggs,but also has Lester Flatt. Best version of all.
yes the banjo player is Steve Martin at 2:50
Bluegrass generally brings a ton of energy. I liken it to punk rock, but there's some amazing musicianship in bluegrass.
Two steppin barn dance very fun
Earl scrubs is considered the greatest banjo picker of all time possibly in the world
This song is most famous for being the background music behind the car chases in the 1967 movie "Bonnie and Clyde" starring Fay Dunaway and Warren Beatty. It is not wonderfully accurate but is fun watch.
And thqts just the way paul shaffer is. Hyper ive seen videos of him back in the 80s and hes even more hyper lol
This is a very old song Earl scruggs also made the intro song to the Beverly hillbilly show ballad of her clampett
💕
Im thinking this was in the Bonnie and Clyde movie
What a group
🤘🏽⚜️🤘🏽
You will also see the band director from Late night.
Foot stomping music
