if I build a time machine I would love to go back in time listen to these ladies sing. a true blessing from Carters.

Amazing that this is available to the public, this incredible historic recording of the Carter Family. Thank you to all of you who made this possible.

I didn’t get enough of the Carter’s singing down here. Looking forward to hearing them sing in heaven.

What a big surprise, this beautiful recording. Thank you very much Sara and Maybelle for al the music you left us. ❤❤

This feels like a casual family gathering where everyone pulls out an instrument and has a go, only the family just so happens to be country music legends. What a treasure! Thanks for sharing.

Helen was so underrated..Really talented

So love this. Love me some Carter's all of them. Especially Sara, Maybelle and A.P.

👍 Great.. Never saw this one

This video is great. Such historical significance for the Carter family and country music. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Sadly, these sorts of live shows will most likely never happen again. Unrehersed, just wonderful raw pickin' and singing.😊😊😊😊😊

Love the Carter family. Just wonderful

I came along in 1972 in the blue ridge mountains here place called Franklin county, Va I am part of a family of music here i never was introduced to this music till around 1980 bout 8 years old my grandma taught me auto harp I was already learning the guitar and banjo then but my grandma did a song and sang like maybelle the song thinkin tonight of my blue eyes lord now I’m 51 back home from bristol here in 2023 got my autoharp, guitar and banjo and I’m back at it! God Bless the 2 women that inspired me the 1st my grandma and second Mamma Maybelle Carter!

… And there’s Joe, Jeannette and Helen too . All so talented !

This is wonderful. Thank you. It’s neat to hear them chatting and Maybelle’s sense of humour is endearing. They’re all so real.

This is probably the best performance they ever gave. God Bless Them.

This was fantastic! I've always loved the carter family group although they are from a different country and a different time. Sarah Carter's voice is so beautiful! And it's great to see that the rest of the family are so talented . Thanks so much for posting this. Best concert I've been to for ages. Cheers.!

Beautiful.

This is an amazing tribute to an amazing pioneer family of music

Thank you so much for posting and preserving this

Sort of music sung around my table when I was little.

Thank you for sharing this captured legendary moment. This old film makes me realize just how important each person is during their life. The video recorder captured three musicians who captured the beauty of life even though they experienced deaths and health injuries, they lived, shared their lives with others, and are still teaching others (us, the viewers and listeners) how to play music and set our eyes on the Lord God Almighty as our lives fade as theirs have faded away from this temporary realm.❤

Just fantastic! Like being inside of a history book with the original players. 🎶🎶💕

This is incredible. Thank you for uploading the full show.

46:05 Jeanette scaling up to find the key is as precious as Helens reaction 😂❤

Wow, great video, two very special women. Thank you so much.

Helen was so nerdy it was precious.

❤Thanks to you all for getting this wonderful recording ❤ 042025😊

Simply beautiful. Perfection.

I love this ❤

The kids had talent too!!

You are loved, sara and maybelle

Beautiful...

Thank you for sharing this video

As a Roman Catholic who loves Gregorian chant, I have to say that Southern country Gospel music like this is so beautiful! It has every bit as much transcendence as anything composed on the 14th century. Too bad A.P. had already passed when this was filmed. I love the Carter Family, especially the oldest recordings from 1927. God bless them all!

Magnificent document and highly enjoyable, too!

Thank you very much for sharing this piece of history with us!

thank you so much for this ❤

Great video! And the boy singing "Battle of New Orleans" 21:20 : fresh and fabulous !

Excelleant!

Thanks for posting

So many good memories of going to the Carter Family Fold as a child and young man. Thank you so much for this post. So many great memories.

Compare this beautiful rendition of "Gathering Shells by the Sea Shore" with the 1939 recording titled "Happiest Days of All" on the Carter Family border radio collection, which features AP singing harmony as well. Sarah was 76-77 years old and Maybelle was around 65-66 years old at the time of this recording. Thanks so much to Ronnie Williams, Freeman Kitchens, Anthony Lupo, and Colin Haines for preserving this moment in time.

So beautiful thank you for posting

Big Thanksss for upload this marterpiece ♥️

Thanks a lot for posting that 🥰

I love this! Could you post the track list?

Thanks SO much for this!! Donald in Milwaukee!

Very good song mes amis 👍👍

33:18 I assume she's talking about Rita who is still MC at the Fold today.

Now the circle is unbroken.

Some of you found a shady spot! Helen said it without saying it. 😆😆

Post again

I was born way too late. And in the wrong country. But mostly just too damn late.

30:27 Warf Rat Tale

Almost seems like Helen is trying not to outshine them. Joe and Jeannette couldn't really sing and Maybelle and Sara weren't doing well by then either.
