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

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

Some of my best memories are from the many bluegrass fests that my family would camp 3 -4 nights usually on the shenondoah river and the potomac river watermelon park berryville va. and moorefield wv .I waa so lucky i seen them all ....thank u unc bernie ,unc jim and mom and dad for showing me the way .this music goes straight to ur soul.

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

Keith looks so happy here

Soooo good!

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.

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

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

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

LOVE BLUEGRASS MUSIC AND OROUD OF IT !!!

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.

Unbelievable. Please please post more if ya got it!

Thanks for posting Kris. Brings back memories.

Wow . The best you will ever hear!!!

dont you just love this music carnt stop my feet from taping

Ralph Stanley another legend just like bIll Monroe

That's a fiddle!

What a treasure! Thanks so much for posting.

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

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

It would be nice to hear Rickys’ thoughts on this

Pound Virginia!

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.

😅😅😮😢🎉😂❤

Imagine. This is concert is for a grand opening of a grocery store.

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?

WHY ???????
