Live at the Old Schoolhouse, 2/20/88, Lucketts VA

[@TwoRiders]

We got to the school too late and it was sold out. Hung out by ab open window and drank a few beers while listening to the show. Wd gad seen them in Gettysburg and Bethesda before. BG in the DC area when it was a Mecca for the music. Kong live the Johnson Mountain Boys.

My all time favorite bluegrass group. They are also great musicians. Wish you were still together

[@grapenut9]

The Old Schoolhouse at Lucketts is still churning out some wonderful concerts ! Before covid, it was the longest contiguous bluegrass venue in the USA. They are back. Just this last season, I saw great shows from Becky Buller, Po Ramblin Boys and the Kody Norris Show !

[@RedRoosterParty]

Thank you for finally getting the whole thing up. For anyone who hasn't seen this before, it very well could be the greatest live bluegrass concert ever.

[@sclawman]

No problem, JB. Volume output is a bit high and came out scratchy so I may do over but for now I'll leave it up.

[@wisedog99]

You may be right. My favorite band for straight-ahead traditional bluegrass. Phenomenally talented and impeccable taste and timing.

[@RobertYoutsey]

Yep, I'm going to put my vote in and say yes, the greatest live bluegrass concert ever!

[@JohnHicksPicks]

Greatest live album ever. Ever.

[@jamesadkins9023]

Johnson Mountain Boys are as good as it gets. Dudley Connell and Eddie Stubbs really put on a good show. I feel very fortunate to hear this.

[@77lissaable]

I remember when my dad bought this cd in the early 90’s... nice to see them actually playing...

[@Connie-aka-pinklady]

He's playing the hell out of that fiddle! Love it. Thanks for sharing

[@garykaufman8128]

That's Eddie Stubbs on the fiddle.

[@ulrichfriehe3459]

Glad I bought the double-cd back in the day.

[@JacobgraceAnna1005]

[@ThomasLjung]

One of the great BG-bands, I belive a litte under-estimated. Traditional, plain and a lot of feeling. The harmony singing is first class. They gave great shows and have left a big mark in the blue-grass history and hall of fame!

[@MrSimhacker]

Yeah, Back in the 90's I went to a few bluegrass festivals around the south with my Parents. and we saw this group alot and they were the most memorable, and was very blessed to see somebody uploaded alot of their songs here. Thanks for all of the great songs! The older I get the more they are appreciated.

[@lupitastark6132]

In the erly 80s i was a temperamental young man had been playin mandolin since i was 5 i have my grangfathers washburn a 5. Getting back to the story i heard these guys and was Blown away. But you know religioso parents id put a little blues in my some tunes like monroe did or in this case this mandolin players pure style. Stiller dont understand why folks dont like a little style in bluegrass nothing wrong with a g run on mandolin and guitar once in a While anyway god rest my parents soul never did they change my blues rifs or cramp my style on mandolin.

[@silasshaw5182]

The most like minded bluegrass band ever.

[@rodneyharouff5739]

[@henriettajones7974]

I LOVE THESE GUYS! 😄

[@Lonesomecowboyblues]

Great band!!!

[@TN-D18]

Banjo break at 32:32 is typical amazing Tom Adams.

[@iragitlin7549]

Hey, sc lawman, how can I send you a private message? I have some questions about these concert videos.

[@namcat53]

Where is the dvd of this?????

[@keithkrantz2376]

If you get the sound a bit better would you possibly burn me a dvd? I'd be willing to compensate!

[@lammmy]

Is that Lynn Morris in the crowd at 11:27?

[@iragitlin7549]

Yes. And she's sitting right behind Hazel Dickens. To Hazel's left is Ken Irwin, one of the founders of Rounder Records.

[@iragitlin7549]

Who is the guy who starts talking at 58:28? It sounds like he was from WETA-TV. Does anyone know his name?

[@leedemsey3898]

Lance Leroy

[@leedemsey3898]

oh, after Lance, I see..yeah, someone from WETA, for sure, but don't know who

[@iragitlin7549]

Were you at that show, Lee?

[@TwoRiders]

@@iragitlin7549 We showed up late with our friends from Lovettsville and the place was sold out. It happens when your buddies party too hard. We stood outside for the whole show and listened through the walls. What a fantastic group. Better to be there and almost see it than miss it.

[@iragitlin7549]

I've learned that it was Jackson Frost, who produced the video for WETA.

[@cowboy6591]

You guys did an unjust service by over compressing on the final video mixdown. The sound track is abysmal. This video should be at least a gigabyte in size for 2 hours. What a shame.
