I had the priveledge to meet him in 2011, shortly before his death. It was a sad occasion though because he was ravaged by Alzheimer's ....I pushed his wheelchair to the stage, where he would get up, walk to his place and take his seat. When the music started however, he came alive, and all was just like it had always been. It was the second time I'd ever seen him. Once with Doc and Merle, John Hartford, and his band in 1980,...THEN, this occasion. Full circle.
@@bryankeller3492 I met Mr. Scruggs at Sunset Park in the 70s where he signed my copy of his book and we spoke briefly. What a Gentle Giant! May he R.I.P.
It’s will be very hard to top this, two of the best damn mandolin pickers ever Stewart and Scaggs, that horse shit they call country music in 2021 just plain sux
Ricky was raised right down the road in Johnson co....I live in floyd co...more talent here than anywhere....Chris stapleton....Chris knights a hop and a skip down the country...people will never know
I like how Earl is doing percussion with his banjo while the others solo. There’s a guy who’s seen it all. You can tell he’s just tickled to be up there with a group of relative youngsters who are keeping the music alive.
Hehehe I do that with my guitar with my thumb and index finger. do the downbeat with he side of my right hand. make great percussion. And yes, I remember them looking up to greats like George Jones, Conway Twitty, etc., and like George Jones (he wasn't a favorite of mine, but he did have a 'signature' voice. Looking up to Johnny Cash. And now I see the younger musicians with them and looking up to them! Every generation has this phenomenon., and I suppose it will always be that way!
Proud of Earl Scruggs, a son of Cleveland county North Carolina. Left that textile thread mill to pick with Bill Monroe. A legend that started with 3 finger roll "Rueben" tune.
I know how much you love this music, Daddy. I know, you're looking down from heaven smiling. Know, you will never be forgotten. My life ended the day that I lost you. Rest in peace Daddy until we see each other again. You will forever be in my heart.
Vince has done a great job , writer of 1 of the best gospel songs ever , strong ties to gospel music being married to Amy Grant , He’s great at bluegrass , 1 of the best country artist ever , conquered rock music being a former member of pure prairie league and currently 1 of the Eagles and doing a great job
I knew Grandpa Jones, who played Drop thumb or Claw hammer method and he was from Niagara Kentucky in Henderson county Kentucky where I live now. And Bill Monroe, was my distant cousin from the same county I am from Ohio county, Kentucky and I seen him every year at the Rosine Bluegrass Reunion. I wished I had met Earl Scruggs I love his style of playing the Banjo most thank you Earl.
Wow what a treat to watch and listen to so many great of the greatest bluegrass performers on stage at the same time playing together. Thankyou so much for sharing this it really made my day!!!
2 of the best guitarists on the planet on the same stage. Vince & Ricky are the best flatpickers I've ever seen and can switch to electric guitars with ease.
4 great guitarists. Marty can hang with anyone on the stage, might be the best if the 4, and Earl plays guitar as well. As far as flat picking, Tony Rice is the best that's ever been. One of the best singers too.
Daddy, I know you're looking down from heaven smiling. I would give anything to have you here with me. My world will NEVER be the same without you. This is a heartbreak I will NEVER get over.
If anyone has a recording of Lil' Jimmie Dickens in the summer of 1993 at the Opry, I would love to see it. My grandparents took my aunt and myself. I was 13. I would love to see it again as an adult. There were many other greats performing but don't remember. I got to meet Porter Wagoner and Reba's back up singers. We watched Marty Stuart and Tanya Tucker on an Opryland stage. It was amazing. It was a hot summer and had gone on a water ride not realizing we were going to the Opry a little later. I was still soaking wet and wished I had a chance to clean up. It was amazing experience nonetheless!
Earl Eugene Scruggs (January 6, 1924 - March 28, 2012) was an American musician noted for popularizing a three-finger banjo picking style, now called "Scruggs style," which is a defining characteristic of bluegrass music. His three-finger style of playing was radically different from the traditional way the five-string banjo had previously been played. This new style of playing became popular and elevated the banjo from its previous role as a background rhythm instrument to featured solo status. He popularized the instrument across several genres of music.
You haven't! I really believe there's equally young amazing talent 'emerging' on the Bluegrass stage, not really new because though they're young, they've been working hard at their craft for many years. Bluegrass people nurture the next generation. Off the top of my head: Molly Tuttle, Sierra Hull, AJ Lee, Sullivan Tuttle, Billy Strings... I think music is safe enough for another while!
Research and you'll find several events, Bluegrass festivals some lasting for days. In my state of North Carolina. Also check out just to name a few West Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. If it has mountains it has bluegrass festivals and events.
God I was born in 1994 and even before that country was so in its prime now nearing 2020 it’s sad how it’s going but thanks to Luke Combs he is keeping the 90s country sounds alive if u don’t know him look up on Apple Music and UA-cam
Those guitars are worth as much as a car (if you have a really nice car) some can be worth as much as a house, but they couldn't be in better hands. That's what's awesome 'bout it
It's rare for someone to look better in their late 30s than in their early 20s, but Alison Krauss really changed for the better over the next 15 years. Compare her appearance here to say her CMT Crossroads show with Robert Plant in 2008, in which she is truly stunning.
Don't know how I've missed seeing this episode of GOO TV until just now. I have been fortunate enough to see all these folks perform live on several occasions. Never all six together but do remember seeing Gill, Skaggs Stuart and I think Huskey Jr. on stage together at least twice. Have seen Gill and Stuart many many times. So entertaining! It's just a shame none of them ever learned how to play an instrument(s) very well.
There will never be another Earl Scruggs. God bless him.

Sidney Shusterman I went to
Sunset Park quite often with my parents! Great memories of that place, met quite a few country music stars!
@@bryankeller3492 m,
Strange to think that Marty employs Earl's grandson!
Talent the likes we will never see again combined on the stage of the Opry again.
Nah, we will... stay positive, there's plenty of talent out here🙂
It’s will be very hard to top this, two of the best damn mandolin pickers ever Stewart and Scaggs, that horse shit they call country music in 2021 just plain sux
I fear that is true 😢. How awesome 👏 was this performance 😀👍🙏.
The ones with such talent will not get the flowers they deserve because it will not fit the Main Street mold
Sure you will. When Del McCoury and his band are there or when Dailey and Vincent are there. Rhonda Vincent, too.
Earl Scruggs, & Ricky Skaggs forgot more than these new country stars will ever know. God bless, them both.
Ricky was raised right down the road in Johnson co....I live in floyd co...more talent here than anywhere....Chris stapleton....Chris knights a hop and a skip down the country...people will never know
I forgot Loretty....I used to lay in the mountains In the head of butcher holler a whole lot
Listen too earl add a little more too this one because he can !!!
uyyyyll))ll[l(((/&(ll
A new champion emerges. Give some Billy Strings a listen...
Vince and Alison are both great singers when they are singing lead but when they sing backing harmonies they are no doubt, the best in country music!

True bluegrass like this is great: Vocal harmony, bass, banjo, guitar, mandolin..........all acoustic. Love it!
They all sing and play like it's a second skin. Thank you all
Proud of Earl Scruggs, a son of Cleveland county North Carolina. Left that textile thread mill to pick with Bill Monroe. A legend that started with 3 finger roll "Rueben" tune.
27 years ago, certainly have enjoyed these great talents many times, just sorry for anyone who has missed them!
I know how much you love this music, Daddy. I know, you're looking down from heaven smiling. Know, you will never be forgotten. My life ended the day that I lost you. Rest in peace Daddy until we see each other again. You will forever be in my heart.
The talent on that stage is world class.
You can see Earl Scruggs shake his head in amazement at Vince Gills singing of Lonesome River. What a performance.
Sounds unbelievable. True American music. Marty Stuart sure is a handsome piece of work.
Is there anyone better to harmonize with than Vince Gill?!! My lord!! God blessed ol Sweet Pea with that voice!
With Allison Krauss......agreed, with anyone I guess.
Voice of an angel💕
Vince Gil, Allison Krause, and Kieth Whitley are like nothing our kids could ever appreciate now. It’s so sad.
Love Marty Stuart
Vince has done a great job , writer of 1 of the best gospel songs ever , strong ties to gospel music being married to Amy
Grant , He’s great at bluegrass , 1 of the best country artist ever , conquered rock music being a former member of pure prairie league and currently 1 of the Eagles and doing a great job
Vince can definitely do it all! A very great talent and showman
I knew Grandpa Jones, who played Drop thumb or Claw hammer method and he was from Niagara Kentucky in Henderson county Kentucky where I live now. And Bill Monroe, was my distant cousin from the same county I am from Ohio county, Kentucky and I seen him every year at the Rosine Bluegrass Reunion.

Best of the best. People need to hear this music often.
Could watch these guys forever !!
There is something ethereal about straight voice harmony and those acoustic instruments.
What a memory is must be for these folks to play with Earl at the Opry.
Absolutely top-notch, hard core bluegrass! The real deal.
What a constellation of stars ... exquisite excellence.
Younger generations take note…this is talent in the highest regard
Ricky Skaggs unbeatable in harmony!!
When Bluegrass was Bluegrass and Country Music had pride.
If I could sing and play as well as these folks, I could elevate the consciousness of Mankind.
These guys are the bluegrass royalty. Awesome performance.
Pure awesomeness, this ! ! Brought joy to my heart. Thanks for posting.
2 of the best guitarists on the planet on the same stage. Vince & Ricky are the best flatpickers I've ever seen and can switch to electric guitars with ease.
Ohhh! You said it before I got a chance to! A little different, but pretty similar.
Skaggs is no slouch on the mandolin too.
@@trs4437 So MANY instruments he is not just proficient on but is actually a virtuoso. He blasts me away.
@@trs4437 Mr Monroe knew talent when he saw it! Skaggs played Bill's mandolin until he donated it to the Hall of Fame.
4 great guitarists. Marty can hang with anyone on the stage, might be the best if the 4, and Earl plays guitar as well. As far as flat picking, Tony Rice is the best that's ever been. One of the best singers too.
I could watch hours of this.
Daddy, I know you're looking down from heaven smiling. I would give anything to have you here with me. My world will NEVER be the same without you. This is a heartbreak I will NEVER get over.
one of the best shows I've ever watched! thanks for sharing!
Missing Randy Scruggs for the cherry on too love this group of authentic bluegrass music 🎶
This is pretty amazing, hard to believe almost 30 yrs ago !
I’m 36 and I appreciate this so much more than my kids ever would.
I remember seeing this on t.v. I couldn’t believe how lucky I was to catch it. Many years later, I’m still loving all these artists.
Mind blowing the talent on that stage
What a great group of folks together!
Talents for true country.... From France.
Wow! Glad I found this awesome video. All of the best Blue Grass pickers and singers. Thank you, Jan for posting. "God Bless All"
glad you enjoyed it, Bob
What a performance! Such stars! Wow!!!
awesome video thanks to who posted, this is music folks
The best way to listen to Alison Krauss. Close your eyes and hear her sing. Voice of an Angel....
She is so young here!
Amen! The whole group is the best.
Don’t close your eye’s Whitley
Love Blue Grass, and Americana music, the roots, where it All started. Amen
Amen
Real down to earth bluegrass sung by the best !

There is no topping this stage of talent best of the best .

Marty Stuart is a gorgeous man.
My husband was always jealous of him!!!

Earl was the Ed Van Halen of banjo
It's all beautiful!
Super!!!!! Do not stop
Awesome.
Injoying all of these Great Blue Grass players ❤
Love it, thank you all
I listen to this and wonder what has happened in this world. This music is our heritage and it's fading fast.
If this doesn’t give you goosebumps you’re not alive
I always feel the lord when listening to Vince Gil. It has to be Gods design or it would not be so.
Awesome pickin' and singin'. Rivals any big stuff today in any genre Blue Grass, Country, Rock. Great is great.
Beautiful
They all truly love performing!
Talk about passing the torch! Watch as Earl gives the nod to Vince at 18:27. Bluegrass is in good hands.
WOW! Great singin and playin.
20数年前録画し繰り返し何回も見ました。Grand Ole Opryを見ることができ感動しました。
Love this. Been a long time since this happened. 💯
Probably the best 5 musicians ever put together at one time Never b anymore like these again what talent thanks 🙏
Close. Check out Tony Rice with Sam Bush,Bela Fleck, Mark O'Connor, Jerry Douglas and Mark Schatz.
Real nice thanks for posting - everyone still had hair.
Fabulous
Scruggs is the master!
Love this! raised up hearing this music in Ky!!!
And all those young men are now grey-haired, 28 years later. And Allison Krause has only improved, still sings like an angel.
Thank you
Wow
Vince Gill another good singer
Nothing like some good bluegrass to rock the soul.
Great music no doubt
Thanks to god for this!
Now you bake right, with Martha White. Goodness gracious, good and light, Martha White!
Allison Krauss is a superb fiddle player.
Harlan Tanner
The
Had a talented tongue too is what I heard.
Allison's fiddle is legendary b.g.
A little slice of heaven
I'd love to see a compilation half as beautiful as this was before my time is over. I truly believe that I was born too late.

Fear not - it is out there - people still love it!
Check out Mean Mary, great banjo and her brother on guitar. Young people they’ll be around awhile😄
God I was born in 1994 and even before that country was so in its prime now nearing 2020 it’s sad how it’s going but thanks to Luke Combs he is keeping the 90s country sounds alive if u don’t know him look up on Apple Music and UA-cam
Back then I would have asked you to use punctuation, please.
Luke combs is a sellout pos. He sucks and so does his music
They are all good sing and I like them to
I am as good as Earl - said no one EVER.
Earl looks over at Vince when he was singing Lonesome River, just smiled a shook his head!
And Ricky nods and smiles too! Quite a moment when they all realize it is right and tight!
Exelente ,desde México City
Those guitars are worth as much as a car (if you have a really nice car) some can be worth as much as a house, but they couldn't be in better hands. That's what's awesome 'bout it
They were all so young back then.
Ami Bayne ... Alison Krauss has improved 500% since this was made.
Wern't we all? :-)
Scruggs doesn't look that young. Lol but the talent on that stage is well seasoned!
Amen to all that folks.
It's rare for someone to look better in their late 30s than in their early 20s, but Alison Krauss really changed for the better over the next 15 years. Compare her appearance here to say her CMT Crossroads show with Robert Plant in 2008, in which she is truly stunning.

you're kidding right? you can't think earl and ricky don't play well?
So why did you listen, dumb ass.
Zoetropeification I'm sorry, but what are you saying? These are some of the best bluegrass and country musicians, ever!
He is being sarcastic! Of course he thinks they all play amazing. He was just being silly. Joking. Ha ha! Probably nothing they can't do well
21:27 I love that song. Stellar performance!
