Awesome instrumental from the best

[@aaronurquhart274]

When I was in Iraq, we used a main supply route known colloquially as Route Irish. I listened to Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer, and many other brilliant musicians on that route. Many of us suffered terrible casualties and losses on that route. I always feel the tension of that time when I listen to music like this, and this song captures the feeling well for me. Interesting...

[@TheTool175]

Aaron Urquhart I feel you, used to run Irish blasting the Dead and all sorts of bluegrass

[@franksabatino7576]

Thanks for telling me something I never would have imagined. Best of luck.

[@carlosm.devasconcelllos3939]

God bless you all, for your sacrifice and losses, bro ! I'm from Brasil, Grandpa from Scotland, but u r my heroes !

[@billjordan7623]

Thanks for your service

[@tolliver15]

You feel that because Jerry wrote this song about exactly that.

[@gaelenolinski3166]

Jerry Douglas is on another level. He's like an ascended dobro monk.

[@petermatthew123]

Yes, that's a nice way of putting it!

[@Leithmasters]

Most definetly! Lol!

[@Leithmasters]

Love it! So refreshing from canned digitized so-called music today.

[@mattuboyle5891]

I love you..just for this comment alone

[@diggerdogadventures976]

All of these gentlemen are master musicians. In this instance they're transcending.

[@taylorw]

Another transcendent discovery wandering KZbin. This series is astounding, comforting. A pillar to return to.

[@123Bookbinder]

Amazing, what a wonderful line up of incredible musicians, including Danny Thompson on bass.

[@dianeovercash6739]

A lot of star talent in that room

[@sconniepanda5835]

It is magical that this music is all that is left of people...and a way of life...that is gone forever in both Ireland and Scotland. Thank God for the music...and wonderful musicians.

[@JerryDouglas-re5lg]

Thanks for being an amazing fan and liking my pages, and also thanks for the support you’ve showered on us all. I hope you never stop listening to our music and watching our musical videos.

[@tylerao]

It’s amazing when class takes over. Imagine today, someone with Sam Bush’s talent, being so reserved, and being the background. A man that can sell out tours by himself, that’s where the magic is made. All ego checked at the door

[@happyplucker5515]

I reckon any Celtic/bluegrass/folk picker and their sons and daughters would give their eye teeth to sit in on one of these jams. Can you just imagine the thrill of sitting in the back, quietly strumming pickin’ and grinnin’?

[@rafipeled1920]

I don’t believe any musician has ever played an instrument better!!!!

[@mysidianbard5890]

Holy f.... that was one of the best instrumentals I've ever heard.

[@jeffk6844]

Incredible! Hands-down the best instrumental performance I've heard in more than half a century. Composed and lead performed by the greatest dobro master to ever live, with a phenomenal array of the very best musicians on the planet. Truly awesome!

[@paulroberts5677]

Think there was six series done. So many great musicians I never knew of. So much excellent and exciting music I had never known about. Thank goodness for You Tube. Come on BBC we need another series.

[@dlagrua]

Jerry Douglas is certainly a one of a kind Dobro player with versatility unmatched.

[@colmcasey1794]

For me Jerry is not on a different level He's on a different planet😍😍. I had the pleasure of meeting him here at the Johnny Keenan festival in Ireland..Sadly no more due to lack of bums on seats. Oh well we had the best here ie Scruggs,Rowan ,fleck,Guy,Steve,altan,Dervish,Crowell,Four men and a dog,Paul Brady ,Blue Highway,Sean McGuire,Thom Moore,Tom Russell ,Tim o Brien.They were just the headliners and the other musicians could do a whole gig on their own.Too many to name here now. Thanks to all who came and to those who didn't you missed some incredible music but that's ok as its your choice.Theres a lot of great music that I didn't bother to go to in Ireland as well so I can't complain really.

[@andrewweatherhead4127]

Simply the best.

[@andrewmcguire8529]

Fabulous music, what talent

[@harrietsmith9604]

It's the best of modern technology to preserve this great performance and this great music to be enjoyed for all time. I'm sure that Jerry Dougles thoroughly enjoyed playing his music with a roomful of such amazingly talented people who really made it the best it can be. I love this music and it's one that I don't mind if it gets stuck in my head!

[@fluxfaze]

Watching and listening to accomplished ensembles like these are some of my favorite spine-tingling sensations in life. Thanks for this video!

[@bootstrap-bl4hr]

Definitely in my top 5 favorite songs of all the sessions albums.

[@rowlandchapman9981]

Love the drummer, he fits right in

[@prharrington]

It's a done deal - if Danny Thompson is in it I'm watching it!!

[@pierresongs6]

The best bass player bar none.

Playing bouzouki on the extreme left is Donal Lunny formerly of the peerless traditional Irish group Planxty.

Any moderately skilled banjo player can learn how to play this song if they put in the effort, but nobody can learn to play it like Bela Fleck. He plays it with such a relaxed and effortless nuance that you just cannot recreate.

Very Nice very Easy to listen to Do like this kind of Music

Always been a Douglas fan and learn a lot playing slide from him...but love mcgoldrick paired with him...

[@Remco19777]

It's beautiful. However the female fiddle player is Nollaig Casey.

[@corranmedia4469]

Thanks Remco. You're quite right, Mairead featured in series 4 and not series 5 (both filmed in Glen Lyon). They look quite similar, hence my mistake. Thanks for the correction.

[@pancake4425]

Agree 100%. Problem is: with morons like Trump and Kim Jong Il the nightmare is at our doorstep!!

Problem here in Oz we have our prime minister saying sanctions are working because Kimmie's fired another missile. More sanctions, more missiles. Now that makes sense!
