Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder - Shady Grove LIVE

[@johnanderson2112]

That one song would've been worth the price of admission

[@ernstschutte8959]

Probably one of the best live bluegrass performances I've ever seen

[@metalabsynth]

We will never see a group this talented again playing this style, badass times for bluegrass

[@bcp5296d]

Ricky, as many great things he did, running the KT band and being able to sub in and develop world-class artists and keep it all together, is by far his greatest feat

[@nitrateninja]

Bluegrass is so awesome. If you don't feel like dancing or drinking while listening to five stringed instruments play heavenly sounds, you don't have a pulse.

[@explorewithmikaandkai2775]

Jaw dropping and flawless playing. I could watch this over and over.

[@oldwest517]

Wow. Just wow. Sends chills down my spine they are so crazy good.

[@nateldredge9538]

Cody Kilby`s olo after Andy Leftwich`s solo is so incrediably fast and clean and never ceases to amaze me even after watching it 100 times.

[@Fishies125]

Cody Kilby and Andy Leftwich are phenomenal.

[@Fiddlemama]

Jonathan Russell They def are!

[@Fishies125]

And Stuart Duncan, of course.

[@Fiddlemama]

Most definitely :D

[@elliotportner8020]

Ricky is and has been since childhood the greatest with much more quality to go

[@BradHoughton]

Greetings baby !!! Here is our song from back in 2008 !! I sure do miss and love you !!! All my love and prayers Brad !!!

[@jackcrane7853]

INSANITY! MADNESS! GENIUS! AMERICA!!

[@michaelparr4287]

Just the best CAN'T get enough of it Will get your toes to tapping

[@jeffreysiegel9125]

What a beautiful and fiery performance!!! What great positive energy!!! Thanks so much for posting this!!!😃.

[@numbskullphobe]

What absolutely blows my mind about Kentucky Thunder is that they have someone like Andy Leftwich (playing the amazing mandolin solo) as a 'backup' mandolinist - these boys have some AMAZING talent...

[@stingerrage1976]

This is one awesome bluegrass tune!

[@elliotportner8020]

So many greats right here for us may ins to relish and grow happy like all of Appalachia which is God given

[@robertbuckley3762]

Best version ever ever ever.

[@rebeccajones9735]

Love Ricky Scaggs and KThunder.

[@TroubleinZION]

Gave me chills.

[@Fiddlemama]

That "fiddle player" is Stuart Duncan, who is prolly the best bluegrass fiddler there is, next to Mike Cleveland. The kid on the mando is Andy Leftwich and normally plays the fiddle. Whole band kicks a** individually and are multi-instrumentalists. I had the privilege of going to one of their shows this past spring. Had nice conversations with some of the guys after the show. That is one thing I love about bluegrass, you almost always get to chat with the performers after their shows.

[@natemidnight]

stuart is the best the the world. cleveland is amazing too.

[@clayton1977jk]

Say Stuart Duncan would be number two Mark O'Connor's number one fiddler in my opinion

[@tallstrom]

Fantastic and inspiring!

[@TomCafiero]

break-neck pace...What!!!

[@sidilicious11]

Martin Tallstrom that sums it up!!

[@elliotportner8020]

God bless Paul Brewster who has a heavy limp now 11-13-17 may he know no pain or discomfort he is with Ricky 22 years

[@tonyrayjones1550]

Son that was awesome !

[@TomTCincyO]

great toe tapper, love it

[@numbskullphobe]

@mikejar47 I gotta agree - and Jimmy is playing some sick banjo while we listen to the voice over man flapping his gums!

[@davidkintzer1604]

I have the CD of this preformance. If its possible to wear out a CD i will figure it out with this one

[@codycarrasco5493]

[@largecocklloyd]

[@Waking2Dreams]

[@toot43]

[@richardstrode7846]

What planet are you guys from? High lonesome on fire My speedometer is shattered Wow wow wow wow One word "phonominal" "just phonominal"

[@upick3]

let the banjo player play

[@jasonjohnson3462]

No doubt, why did they cut one of the best banjo players out Banjo so underrated

[@tonyhall3845]

i just had an "eargasm"

[@rockinrobby19]

That's sic...

[@jeffreyb6165]

Everyone else: Nobody can keep up with me when it comes to flat pickin'. Cody Kilby: Hold my water

[@Edthebanjo]

@mcseveneyw the guy talks in both of his breaks!!! I still think his back up in this video is impeccable!

[@TheJoenun]

I know that was a star studded line up but how do you follow Skaggs and the band burning the barn down!

[@WildwoodvalleyBoy]

Ricky why don't you play one of your Martins, I feel certain you have plenty of 'em?

[@rodneyshuffler5810]

Sure wish I could find the audio without the narrator....

[@mladenzigmundic4047]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pXjbm2SNiJ6ci7c

[@JamesSmith-gk8sz]

How many stringed instruments would you like on stage? *Yes*

[@benjamincabrerainvent2630]

i always tell her howdy!!! yea!!!

[@neffjare]

I notice the audio is a little behind the video... is it possible they are playing faster than the speed of sound???

[@mosrite60]

Andy Leftwich and Josh Williams really make the "Thunder" Bobby Hicks not here? Stuart Duncan in his place. mosrite60

[@darrylpoulsenmusic]

mosrite60 Cody Kilby, Not Josh Williams.

[@blahman178]

holy shit.....

[@teakbridge101]

Ricky, you hair looked better here.

[@danielcaruthers7120]

Kentucky Thunder gets it done quick you can tell they play around

[@elliotportner8020]

Doc and Earl could the combination have been created David without a blessing and support from God above?

[@cacadeldemonio]

2:30 semifuse arpeggios OMG!

[@nanbyu]

Folks...does it get better than this,,?

[@paleandpoisonous]

fucking perfection

[@dondondoodle]

That young man to the left of Ricky can make that flat top talk! My lord, and the guy to the left of him, now thats some talent, I tell you what. I don't care who you are thats some minty fine pickin boys!

[@metalabsynth]

dondondoodle the guitar player is Cody kilby, the mandolin player is Andy leftwich, and the fiddle player is Stuart Duncan

[@bubbafmrusmcr2056]

AWESOME.....except for the dumb narrator talking over the performance to describe the other artists playing this 2002 event. Love Ricky, he's a great Bluegrass artist! :)

[@sparkletaz690]

Dear ricky, my name is Terry Jones you jammed with my dad and step brother my dad's name was earl joined my brother was Casey Jones I would really love to talk to you about them and try to learn a little I was the youngest of the family and was never told much. But I was told a little about you and hope you can fill in some blanks. Please respond asap. All have pasted away and I have no one to ask questions.Thank you so much.

[@mood103201]

anybody knows its lyrics?

[@HeavyMetalBluegrass]

If this doesn't get your toes tappin' you better check your pulse.

[@lillian1328]

cool...

[@Sluggo01]

Andy and Cody....dammm

[@metalabsynth]

@numbskullphobe well he was and still is in the band as a fiddle player primarily, him playing as a "backup" mandolin player is a bonus, i agree amazing solo, just wish they didn't ruin it with the narrorator speaking, love this version of the song

[@elliotportner8020]

😭😔

[@JimmyDeLocke]

I think Jim Mills owes the announcer money or something . . .

[@bigboijc]

@dondondoodle preach to the choir my friend!!!!

[@TheGalen62]

Yeah it does, check out their version of Get Up John watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dVhWx36GFpI

[@mikejar47]

What's with the narrorator?? How you gonna talk over Jimmy Mills?? What's wrong with you??

[@asdi234]

SMOKIN….

[@jeremylebrun3056]

WTF they talk during the banjo parts!!!

[@cvillebanjo50]

Jim Mills is the reason I watched this video, what a waste. GREAT JAM!

[@jimh527]

The fiddle player is too fast for the camera.

[@jrdixon51]

[@andyincov]

[@daldridgex]

@meanlezbo lmfao

[@ronniejones1623]

[@banjoman2419]

[@mcseveneyw]

[@flatpikinguitar]

[@ShadyGrove14]

They sure bastardized this song - worst version I ever heard and made up lyrics - that being said - the musicians are the best in the business.

[@WISDOMCROW]
