Does anyone realize how HARD that is to do?? Six parts played by three guys into one microphone, and made to look easy. They were very impressive, and it's no wonder at all that they hit like they did!
I'm watching Nick during these performances. The man is Listening!! Listening to his comrades, the rhythm, the whole song so that he adds to the beauty. Listening is a great talent. Miss you, Nick. Dave, John....
@@MikeBlitzMag Yes, and it is sad. I was trying to offer an explanation for the original comment. At the time of my comment, and the original, Bob was alive.
@@sled_everything Of course, and that was initially understood in light of the age of the original post. I was merely updating for any third party observers out there, who may not have been aware of any of this. Sure is sad that they're all gone now.
This is incredible! I have always loved this song and to see the video from what, 1958? is great!!! Have you ever seen anyone play guitar the way Nick Reynolds is here? (Tenor guitar?) RIP Dave & Nick
Dave was a great singer and banjo player; Stewart was a good banjo player and great song writer. They both were my first heroes along with Duke Snider!
Imagine living in an era when young people enjoyed this kind of music, when songs such as these could become commercial hits, when traditional folk songs were introduced, for the first time, to mass audiences.
😢 I had no idea Bob Shane passed on. I was 7 or 8 years old when I fell madly in love with the Kingston Trio. Oh I had an extreme crush on Nick. They had one amazing sound, Musically and vocally. 😢😭❤
the Kingston Trio- Live From the Hungry i album, later Dave Guard formed Dave Guard and the Whiskeyhill Singers, Shane and Reynolds joined with Jon Stewart and they stayed the Kingston Trio-this medley is one of my favs of theirs- it's all good people-since it's American folk music at its best- Jim [an ancient one]
Great arrangement by Dave. Great energy from Nick. but oh my, one of the great voices of his generation, Bob Shane, he along with Bobby Hatfield. are to me the golden voices of the pre-British invasion decade.
As a survivor of the 1960s, I am impressed again by how innocent we all were. They were wearing three matching cotton shirts, white socks and loafers, and they were very, very good. You could make it to the top of the charts in cotton street clothes and abundant talent. I look at the productions that surround our current glittering stars, and I can't find the music any more. Soon after the Kingston Trio, the Beatles invaded, and although they wore funny costumes toward the end, the music did not falter, and they started in corduroy suits. I wonder what would happen if we dressed Taylor Swift in a felt circle skirt with a poodle on it. Would she sound as good?
I believe this may be the same show that featured the Kingston Trio, Roy Rogers and Dave Evans, George Goebel, the Everly Brothers, and maybe Johnny Cash, and more. They all did a guitar song at the opening and it was cool.
Nick was a ukulele player before he got the tenor. He used Chicago tuning (DGBE) and usually capoed at the fifth fret so he could use ukulele fingering, but in this clip it looks like he is capoed way up the neck. Bob is capoed at the second fret and Dave is at the 5th fret on a long neck banjo, so Nick may be capoed at seven. Did you notice that Roy Rogers appeared at the end for a second? Was this his show?

love, love, love the Kingston Trio for 6 decades!
same here!
@@richardprice8525 As do I!
They were the best!

Yup, very talented.
They were truly great!
that was borrowed from bluegrass, where you had five players doing the mike dance.

Donald Spaeth - Wasn’t it Nick, Dave, and Bob? John replaced Dave.
@@GH-oi2jf Nick, Dave, and John all passed away. Bob is still alive.
@@sled_everything Not anymore, sadly. Passed away a few months ago.

Brings me back to the love of my dad. He brought me to the music.
Original group was wonderful together.
you bet they were!
Dave Guard! my favorite of all the Kingstons!
Remember the Alamo
This is incredible! I have always loved this song and to see the video from what, 1958? is great!!! Have you ever seen anyone play guitar the way Nick Reynolds is here? (Tenor guitar?) RIP Dave & Nick
And RIP Bob Shane
So great to have these videos to watch from a long time ago. Thank you many times over to any- and everybody who makes such things possible.
Mindblowingly good!
So fine
No one better!
They were so frigging good. And just as good when John Stewart joined them.
NO
not quite - the energy, spirit, and polish never equaled the Guard years with John Stewart.
Dave was a great singer and banjo player; Stewart was a good banjo player and great song writer. They both were my first heroes along with Duke Snider!
These guys knew the value of rehearsal.
Imagine living in an era when young people enjoyed this kind of music, when songs such as these could become commercial hits, when traditional folk songs were introduced, for the first time, to mass audiences.
Sounds like my idea of Heaven!
Tina Turner
Did that...twas grand
multicaruana - No need to imagine. I listened to this group (both versions) in my youth.
I listened to this in my youth too but not when it was popular. I may be a bit of an anomaly but I loved this kind of music in the 90’s.
Very early ..... I love watching Bob play that big ol' dreadnought with his bare fingers
And Nick played so high up!!!
Never the same without Dave Guard.
Never!
@Phil M Liked Dave a tad more
I agree!
@@philm6079 I have all the albums of both groups.
Well, it really was Dave's group. He arranged the music and picked the songs, and recruited Bob and Nick.
Love their Christmas album "Last Month of the Year."
I play it every Christmas
My family has a friend that comes from Pikeville, Kentucky, and she absolutely LOVES “Shady Grove”
My da' raised me on these guys' music. Steeped in ol' timey.
This was my mom's favorite! Haven't heard them since I was a kid, thanks so much for sharing!
Shady Grove. I remember the Darlings playing this tune on the Andy Griffith Show
These three never cease to please discerning folk music lovers! = white man's soul, I reckon.
I grew up listening to these guys, they are every bit as good as I remember! Anyone have a copy of the zombie jamboree?
Paula Hamand : here ya go!
ua-cam.com/video/p4k5XftdTMs/v-deo.html
Zombie Jamboree is a classic!
Live at the hungry i
Great songs. Track 10 on their live album, "...From the Hungry I". Always pictured a gospel chorus coming in on the closing part of Lonesome Traveler.
Got my copy for $1!
They Call the Wind Mariah
Great songs.
😢 I had no idea Bob Shane passed on.
I was 7 or 8 years old when I fell madly in love with the Kingston Trio.

Bob Shane could sing anything!
the Kingston Trio- Live From the Hungry i album, later Dave Guard formed Dave Guard and the Whiskeyhill Singers, Shane and Reynolds joined with Jon Stewart and they stayed the Kingston Trio-this medley is one of my favs of theirs-
it's all good people-since it's American folk music at its best- Jim [an ancient one]
At Large- 4th album- is a masterpiece!
wow A classic
They are so clean cut. But they sound wonderful. =)
As a sprite, these three guys were the KINGSTON TRIO!
man they were good.
Great arrangement by Dave. Great energy from Nick. but oh my, one of the great voices of his generation, Bob Shane, he along with Bobby Hatfield. are to me the golden voices of the pre-British invasion decade.
Это шикарно, черт возьми!
One of the best ever!
Well that was awesome to watch.
RIP this original Kingston trio
long time since i've seen the original trio.
Dave rules: he was so cool
excellent!
How I wished that they could have recorded "There is a Time"!😂
Hey from Idaho
Awesome!

no sweat-you're doing fine-thanks for posting it,
best, Jim
Bobs guitar playing is so good!!!
The Kingston Trio on The Roy Rogers Show. What more do you want out of life?
That's as good as it gets!
Interesting...Dave is playing two-finger style banjo, and Bobby is not using a pick!
Greenhawk, it's John Stewart, not Jon. Geez, get with it.
And on the Roy Rogers Show!. Wonderous.
I believe this may be the same show that featured the Kingston Trio, Roy Rogers and Dave Evans, George Goebel, the Everly Brothers, and maybe Johnny Cash, and more. They all did a guitar song at the opening and it was cool.
i sincerely MISS my shady grove! :'O
You can also sing the Kingston Trio arrangement of "Hangman" over Matty Groves perfectly.
I think this was from the Dinah Shore country show. Check out Oh" Cindy ". Same backdrop
That was Roy Rogers who was clapping, so I would assume that it was the Roy Rogers show.
This is one of my favorites. It's a shame the video/audio are so out of sync by the end.
Nick was a ukulele player before he got the tenor. He used Chicago tuning (DGBE) and usually capoed at the fifth fret so he could use ukulele fingering, but in this clip it looks like he is capoed way up the neck. Bob is capoed at the second fret and Dave is at the 5th fret on a long neck banjo, so Nick may be capoed at seven.

Take that thing to Chicken Of The Sea, let them tuna. Not from me, them TKT. They were, are, will always be the best!
"shady grove" - same melody as "matty groves" by fairport convention
If you enjoy this sound, check out Doc Watson!
Doc Watson and Earl Scruggs are in a league all their own.
Looks like Doc Watson, guitar, right side, mirror image.
