Ralph Stanley at Pound, VA 1972 Part 3

[@hughyager701]

some of the greatest bluegrass singers of all time all on one stage at one time!

[@archtop26]

“We don’t do the Foggy Mountain Breakdown”. God bless you Ralph.

[@krupadrum]

Ralph was the greatest. For me, the most ethereal, master of gospel and mountain Bluegrass. You'll always be with us Ralph.

Memories of Keith and Ralph; wish we could bring it back.

CO. KEITH WHITLEY IS INCREDIBLE. his time in the clinch mountain boys I cherish I thought there was only that other video of them but no Ricky this is an absolute treasure thank you to those who filmed and all these years later seen to uploading it to us real die hard fans who never had the pleasure of being alive the magic of you tube

@13:30 "We don't do Foggy Mountain Breakdown." Gotta love how Ralph handled that situation!

[@krisrasnake2521]

Yeah I loved that the first time I heard it. Definitely funny but also very professional way of handling it.

[@MrMediaTN]

Thats great!.. I hadnt heard how he dealt with that one.

[@sherrysmith-ue8jw]

Keith looks so happy here

[@joemarkus1589]

Thank you so much for a wonderful memento. Had seen them a couple of weeks before at Herman Smith's Festival in Knob Noster Missouri, July 4th weekend, 1972.in Knob Noster Missouri.

[@nashdrifter3629]

Thank you so very much for sharing these videos. I saw Ralph Stanley the first time in Petit Jean Mountain Arkansas in 1972, the same summer and my first Bluegrass Festival. I am vividly remembering some of my first Bluegrass moments thanks to you. Please post more if you have them but most of all thanks again for sharing these precious videos.

[@krisrasnake2521]

John Barnhart you’re very welcome. I’m glad so many people are enjoying them. They were just too good not to share.

[@mikeburks9641]

I was there also, I was 10 years old. my dad played the fiddle in a group as a matter of fact he played in a group with the man who organized that show on petit Jean. I remembering him talking about how. much he loved these guys playing and singing. I can see why, this is unbelievable.

[@FuzzyBuzzBoy]

@@krisrasnake2521 Love you for that!

[@joshuahymer15]

Love the “Walkin the dog” kickoff and breaks. A very laid back Cline.

[@john86779]

[@bruce-pi6nh]

[@bigbossman7991]

Unbelievable. Please please post more if ya got it!

[@sarahthornburg894]

LOVE BLUEGRASS MUSIC AND OROUD OF IT !!!

[@sidneyshusterman6076]

Thanks for this great clip. Sadly Ricky is the only one still with us. I saw them at Sunset Park too.

[@jeremyf6167]

Soooo good!

[@joannehack7588]

Righteous

[@Brent500]

And all these years I thought Jack Cooke WAS the ex-Mayor of Norton. I'm crushed! LOL Boy, could that man sing and oh what an entertainer he was! Long Black Veil is his song, I think of him every time I hear it. Also, I bet Ralph loved having the youthful enthusiasm of Ricky and Keith in his band. They sounded so good together. Sorely missed.

[@derickkeaton5440]

Wow . The best you will ever hear!!!

[@CatfishCounts]

Thanks for posting Kris. Brings back memories.

[@JRCinKY]

These 3 videos are wonderful. A long time ago and a lot of water gone under the bridge

[@richhiway]

That's a fiddle!

[@Bruce-tb8nl]

Ralph Stanley another legend just like bIll Monroe

[@bobbyalford8513]

What a treasure! Thanks so much for posting.

[@shodanart]

Keith so young he hadn’t yet come into his iconic hillbilly voice yet.

[@dodge93city]

It would be nice to hear Rickys’ thoughts on this

[@brianbaker2759]

Regarding the instruments, very interesting... Looks like Ricky is playing a 2-point oval hole Gibson (late 50's?), and Keith's guitar has block inlays (custom Martin? D45?). Anyone have any info on this guitar?

[@dafsaer]

It's a D-41. No inlay around the neck, and no neck inlay on the first fret.

[@robertnottingham7042]

Is that the guitar that Lester Flatt gave Young KW?

[@Sniffthedrippings]

Pound Virginia!

[@farmerbaker8830]
