As a guitar and banjo and bass player, these guys are unmatched in ability as to how good they really are. Awesome pickers. I like that resonator acoustic bass guitar.
As a classical and Irish fiddle player...my heart is full and happy to hear such amazing musicality, technique and well... all of it. I tip my bow to you fellas!
This is such a joy to watch and listen too...what brilliant skilled musicians they all are, They appear to be just fooling about and having fun together - but fun like this takes such real talent. Absolutely brilliant and most enjoyable indeed. Thanks so much for sharing this incredible moment. I have watched it many times now and thoroughly enjoy it every time. What a unique band they are in many ways. Oh for just a grain of their skill. Thank u again from a UK lover of folk music.
Amazing! This is nothing but a musical masterpiece. Excellent music what a rare treat this mix is...thank you so much for sharing it. Well done Kruger Bros. (UK)
I live in Wilkesboro NC and my first cousin first invited them to the US when he spent a vacation in Switzerland and heard them. They lived with him for several months until they got established. I've heard them many times in informal settings. They claim themselves to be NC hillbillies. Great is the word for them.
I've been watching these guys all week live at the pawn shop in North Wilkseboro on the Caldwell County Channel and they didn't rock out like this. This is awesome!
Further poof that these guys have been good forever, and always will be. Yes there are some corny moments but they have earned every right to it. I don't think any other performer in this category has nailed like they have. Great video!
What's amazing is that buried in Jens's version is every single note that Weissberg played for the recording released as a single. I was told by a friend that Jens plays 14 hours a day, every day of his life.
Hi everybody... has someone a vidéo of their song "when will we meet again" or something like that... normally their last song of a set... Just love it ! Enjoy
@forf01 thx !! goddamned howcome I didn't find that!! I've been going trough the sound of music & bedknobs & broomsticks but somehow forgot about Mary ! thx a million !!
You posted this only 17 days ago (1.5.09)..., but, it's at least a few years old, right? I think Joel no longer plays that bass guitar.., and the Doc Watson Music Festival has changed its name. Doesn't matter much, really. :) - these guys are more than just awesome; they are phenomenally, incredibly, amazingly awesome; they are the inimitable KRUGER BROTHERS. - from an unabashed Krugerholic
"Yo" This is simultaneously the reason I want to learn to play my banjo, and the reason I know it will likely NEVER really happen, not like Jens anyway.
please someone help me the song they start around 4:29 after the yiddish song; I think its something from a musical, sound of music or something ?? please help its driving me mental !!

These guys are truly phenomenal. A real joy to listen to. How the bass player keeps up with all that is unbelievable.
Irvin? The slender bald headed guy is playing a DOBRO guitar.
@@jtc1947 Wrong, it is a resonator bass.
Holy crap!!! This is just crazy!! What great musicianship!! :) That was incredible!
Saw this in Sugar Grove in 2001. First time I'd had heard them. Such magnificent skill and musicianship. Hope to see them again soon.
Let me put it this way! during the arpeggios and pauses, I waited in anticipation and then was delighted. Fantastic playing and showmanship.
This is pretty awesome
Holy cow! Just discovered these guys. Blown away.
Incredibly entertaining.
My favorite quote "Where we come from they're all foreign movies"
Great Job!!
There are just no words. Tears streaming down my cheeks. Never heard a banjo like this in this lifetime. Just outrageous!!!!
The sounds he manage to get out of that 5-string. Unbelievable. I really want to experience them live one sweet day..

I first saw and heard of them while in Wilksboro at Merlfest many years ago now. So good to see live. A true force and fenom to be reckoned with.
I first saw them at the Cook Shack Union Grove, NC

At 7:30, they're playing "What a Wonderful World," probably best known by Louis Armstrong.
