There are those that argue that Bill Monroe's 1940s recording of this was the first true rock'n roll song!

Chris Thile and Michael Daves compliment one another so well.....Im so thankful that a whole new generation of mandolin and guitar players will be ushered in thanks to talent of this caliber, my son 16, had absolutely no interest in acoustic music untill Chris Thile, now he listens to all the bluegrass I grew up with and love so much, just when you think it can't get anybetter, it does! Thanks for posting this absolutely amazing performance!

Still my favorite Chris Thile vid after all these years.

Oh my gosh...that last mandolin break was other-worldly.

What more do you want the guy to do? The guy is only 31 and he's put out 11 albums and tours constantly. And he has written a four movement mandolin concerto that has been comissioned by several different orchestras. The guy has done more in his life at this point then most musicians do in their entire lifetimes.

Fiddler- Rosie Newton Banjo- Charlie Rose Dancers- Emily Oleson, Becky Hill, and Matthew Kupstas

I honestly can't tell if he's on really good coke or we're just not used to seeing him on a normal camera (+ the effects of such an energizing performance). Who knows, seen plenty of sober musicians get even more into it than that.

I look like I've just been ravaged by a pack of wolves after Thile's solo! Wowwy!

Thats a bluegrass shindig and he is unwinding. That classical shit can get boring after a while and this is a great way to release stress. One of my favorite musicians!!! a very talented man

Love Chris Thile. Been listening to him since he was about 10...before "leading off". He looks drunk in this clip...he could play drunk better than anyone else on this earth could play sober.

WHEW POWERFUL ❣ MIGHTY FINE MIGHTY FINE👍

Fucking loving it!

Thank you for identifying the other players; much appreciated. They are all so obviously having such a wonderful time enjoying the music and each other's playing -- this is the gift of music!

Man that mandolin rings like a bell. Unreal!!

This is BRILLIANT!!!! It looks like so much FUN!!!

Amazing :D thats make my day

Fantastic!

Rosie Newton on fiddle. Check out her stuff w/ Rose and the Bros and Richie Stearns (and many more projects).. She's got some real old time and cajun stuff going on with that fiddle. Groove city. Can't get enough of it.

This is what bluegrass is about!

Nice shot. Thanks. Pure energizer.
