Bluegrass is the treasure U.S. has never exposed. I hope Americans will one day realize that bluegrass is their real culture and treat it with more respect, not only in Tennessee, but everywhere. Real rich, encultured and fantastic genre. Love from Italy.

Hearing Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder is like a trip to the Bluegrass All-star Game.

I have enjoyed Bluegrass music since I was 10 years of age, I would sneak downstairs late at night ,turn on the battery radio very low so not to wake my parents, I would listen to WWVA West Virginia Bluegrass music It was just the BEST, and yes America should be proud of it and encourage it to the fullest. LK from Canada. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

I'm Latina born in Florida with Guatemalan parents and I LOVE BLUEGRASS!! I wish I could dance it.

A lot of people don't fully grasp what Ricky did for country music. It was all about Urban Cowboy in the early 80s. Thank you Skaggs, Strait, and Whitley

THIS is America! True Grit. And not a cuss word to be heard.

I doubt there’s an honest person in the world who can listen to Ricky and not have their body tapping along somehow, someway. He just makes your body have to get up and celebrate it can move.

This video can never go away, and shall live forever...

And I remember seeing Ricky when he played with Earl Scruggs, and he had nice short hair!!! LK from Canada ❤❤❤❤😊

Wow!!! Amazing i like it.

This is the music of my people. It fills my soul with joy.🙂♥️♥️♥️♥️

He deserves the Hall of Fame!

To see Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder in concert is an experience that you'll not soon forget... Each member of the group is an extremely talented soloist and together they play some of the best and truest bluegrass you'll ever hear!! They're the best in the land!!

Ricky Skaggs still brings it home even in 2022!!

American music has such variety! Bluegrass, jazz, blues, and rock, to name some more popular genres. Are we allowed to count the New World Symphony?

I met Ricky at the Three Rivers Arts Festival (in Pittsburgh, PA) a few years back. He took the time to stick around for quite a while after the show and talk to fans, including me and my family. Very nice guy.

I have tickets to see Ricky Skaggs in Mt. View AR in July at the Ozark Folk Center !!! First time seeing him Live !! Really Looking Forward to it !!!!

That Ricky sure puts on a great show

I thought I hated Bluegrass, until I heard Bruce Hornsby, Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder's live album Cluck Ol' Hen, and was blown away by the musicianship of these performers. Man, can they play!

Bluegrass doesn't get much better than this. Ricky, his musicians and singers give a flawless performance.

Awesome band. I am Australian and never heard of these guys before 👍

I love bluegrass music and I just love ole Ricky, have since I was a youngin.

Last to men I lived with since 1986

Fantastic concert!! Thank you for this wonderful music

I've grown up all my life with country / western music in our home. I have alot of favorites. But bluegrass was not as much in our home. 😢 When Ricky skaggs came out in the 80's with honey, country boy,... I loved his sound. Saw hin in the early 90's at the San Joaquin county fair one summer & he was smoking hot on the stage. As i grew up more, many of the songs i loved that was covered by Porter wagoner,... Were old bluegrass songs. Mind you i grew up in CA, so the Bakersfield sound, Texas swing,.. was more prevalent. Today, i now live in Kentucky ❤ and to have real country & bluegrass around me is the best.

Saw them live at the Ryman Auditorium many years ago. Most awesome show I’ve ever seen.

Ive been playing bluegrass since the 1980s and id be ashamed to take my mess out of the case in front of these guys.

New country is the death of the land, true talent will always shine shadows on them

Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder are Absolutely Awesome Bluegrass is the best music ever

Thank you for bn ky. We here in the hill of ky love ya. Family we are

Mighty fine pickin love from Texas !!

You can’t listen to this and not want to stomp your feet and shake a leg! That banjo gets into my soul! Cheers from southern NC!

Life is good And I am living it

Skaggs was given the most talent and he’s managed it well.

Just absolute fire 🔥 🔥 🔥

How could 38 people not like this? Total brilliance.

There instrumentals aren’t on another level The guitar player is top notch he never missed a lick ,I don’t think . He was hitting it so fast I couldn’t tell But I could tell what he hit was clear as a bell Ricky has an eye for talent Congratulations Ricky If they are giving anything to old school ,you surely deserved it ,which you do ! Glad they are going to give it while you’re still kicking

The flat top guitarist is from another galaxy!!!

I'm a rocker from the seventies and I love this stuff. Skaggs is awesome as is his band!

Can't get much better than Ricky Skaggs. The first song I ever heard was Don't Cheat in Our Hometown. I was hooked. Then he met The Whites and luckily married Sharon. He,s just a good guy and Great Artist.

I like it were born into an bluegrass family. Very Best wishes from my Country home Remblinghausen

Ricky skaggs is my very favorite bluegrass singer😊

This brings tears to my eyes. I don't know why Ricky Skaggs & his band do that to me, but he is just magnificent. So is Paul Brewster...& everybody else. It is obvious he is loved within his band, his family & the audience, whichever clip I watch. He isn't a lot of hype, but flat out all for the music & looks like he was born standing on that stage with a mandolin in his hands.

Paul does the best version of the Kentucky Waltz ever done throughout the ages!

Kentucky Waltz breaks my heart, in a good way. Especially this version.

Get it Ricky. I've loved you for a long time. Kentucky thunder, is pretty damn cool too. I love the guy on the banjo. He wore a hat on a show that you did and boy you guys dress immaculate. Then again, most southern guys do. God bless you Ricky, you will never know what you mean to me.

That's a lot of talent on one stage.

Love this!

soothes the soul .. and... makes me holler hidy-ho... more than once thanks y'all... yee 🤠 haw

I'm glad to see the genre is growing. Bluegrass music is in the heart and played as such. Its my go too.

As I watch this video , I am reminded of how much talent there is in the bluegrass community. Moreover , I am cognizant of the greatness of Ricky Skags and his deeply rooted love of his craft and the respect he has for fellow musicians. All great country and yes western music is rooted in bluegrass. Ricky shows us this. I believe that Ricky's talent is nurtured by his love of humanity and his creator. Ricky truly rocks. Paul in Canada

Ricky I know you have devoted your life to Bluegrass and music and you've did it very well. Great job by You and the band here too.

Thats right Ricky. Keep it Southern appalachian. Carolina boy here.

Complete with Monroe replica and the infamous sawed off scroll....two thumbs up!

Ricky and the boys were so hot I'm surprised no instruments burst into flames.

So so good!💝❤

Every once in a while I want to hear some Bluegrass......I fill that need with one click- Ricky Skaggs. Why go anywhere else, he's the master.

It just doesn’t get any more talented than this. People... WAKE UP!!!!!!!

Дивовижні хлопці.Слухаю Вас майже щодня та отримую неймовірне задоволення від Вашої музики. Губна гармошка в останній композиції завжди доводить мене до сліз,гармоністу окремий респект.

Ricky is the greatest and his band is fantastic!!!! WOW, what a wonderful show!!!!

Jake Workman (guitar) and Russ Carson(banjo) are setting fire on these! All the musicians are earning their way tonight! Y'all nailed it, fellas!

Just saw Ricky Skaggs in Vermont. Holy Shit! Blown away can't describe it. I'm still smiling!!! 2019.

Waitin' For the Sun to Shine - one of my favorites!

just saw them in Des Moines....killer. Chops , unreal,...!

Fantastic. Thanks 😊

No weak link in this band. Not even a slightly-less-than-greatness link.

These guys are amazing

great music my father an brother in law use to play this kind of music back in late 50s an 60s love it

No one ever mentions the upright bass player, but the solo he takes during the encore is stupendous!

Ricky and the guys always put on an awesome show

This is real soul music

Sure would have loved to see this set a few weeks ago... Sounded great, but really wanted to hear a few more hits. Little less Gospel. Still nice to see and hear a Legend with my Boy who is a Picker and huge fan.

28:44 & 38:50 & 43:19 I 💜💜💞💖💞💜💜 These songs, just some of my favorites & "REAL Country Music". (Not this junk they play now a days... 😲😲😲) What can I say, "I'm a Country Girl at Heart"! 😉 💘❤💘 Thank you for sharing, it was a very Enjoyable experience!

National treasure, y'all!

Amazing concert !!! Ricky Skaggs is probably one of the best country musicians !!!
