Pure raw singing. Love it

Bill got that pentalcostal jump I’ve seen a thousand times at family gatherings with my grandparents. Now I’m the grandparent but still feel like a kid. It’s weird.

Stage full of all the greatest bluegrass singers and musicians 🤙

wow, the great Ralph Stanley made an appearance nailing it as usual - haunting voice and the best banjo claw-hammer ever.

This is the BEST 🎼

Good to hear Bill with a top notch sound system!

Thank you Butch. Watching this with my 5 year old and he say this is my music ,I like this Dad and moves to watch this. SO Grateful!

@@christophervaca7116 Need to have 6 kids: one with a mandolin, another with a guitar, the next with a banjo, another one with a fiddle, one with an upright bass and the last one will play the harmonica and the dobro at the same time!

So nice to come here and spend time listening to sounds of my youth even if I didn't fully appreciate it back in the 1950s and early 1960's. Well, anti-social media does have some positive elements afterall. One just has to take time to look for them.

If Bluegrass music don't light your fire your wood is wet...

Goosebumps watching this. Heaven has a helluva bluegrass band!

Brings back sweet memories of when I was a child growing up in the Applation Mountains and hearing this kind of music in church and on the radio of the Grand Ol Opera on a AM radio station on Saturday night at 9 pm.

that dance at the end of the first song made my heart genuinely happy :) thanks so much for posting

I saw Bill Monroe perform once in person while stationed in Norfolk VA during the 1990's.

Ralph Stanley is one of my favorite blue grass artists

So fortunate my family listened to real music or I would be missing this right now ❤

This is just too good

I still have this on VHS I recorded. The entire show. When I was first getting into bluegrass. I watched it every day!

Love it, love it, love it!!! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Bill Monroe& boys

These trouberdores make me smile

wow! proud to be Canadian...ya blue grass lives here too

❤ to watch old Bill cut a rug

Fantastic performance

Damn, they are superb :.

Bill Monroe's second appearance on Austin City Limits with Ralph Stanley in Season 11 (1986).

❤

Its remarkable [to a non bluegrass player] how they sense 5 bar phrases - mixed with an occasional 4 bar with a sort of a hidden signal .

Amazing quality of the video. Thank you so much for posting!

The best bluegrass pickers

The great Joe Stuart on rhythm guitar-he has played EVERY instrument for Bill -Guitar, Fiddle, Banjo, Bass-on records & live! Even the Mandolin, when Bill broke his arm !, from the 1950's on !! A musicians musician. The originators / inventers of Bluegrass.- no such thing as 'Bluegrass' Music before Mr. Bill. Nearly ALL REAL Bluegrass musicians, like the African American Blues 'originators are gone-only 'interpreters' and lousy ones at that-one had to live the life, and that life is long gone-to me ,Bluegrass is the true white mans 'blues' .True American music originated in the Southern states, along with some of the worst aspects of the U.S.A. Lynchings, cracker racists, the 'klan',poverty, natural disasters--oh, but the music ! :Blues, Gospel, Soul/R&B, REAL country music, Bluegrass and of course ,Jazz.

Mighty fine 😎

Amazing

So Cool

Should have had Mac out there with them for “can’t you hear me calling” ❤ imagine 🤯

A Cavalcade of Bluegrass that we will never see again. That and old time mountain music on the back porch are dying art forms because New Bluegrass players want to inject modern themes and even agendas into the songs they write. I don't want that crap, i want to escape it and go back in time when people Loved God and acted like it. Now everything is totally crazy and out of control. Thank God above that i'm old now. I'll be graduating soon.

COMIN FOR TO CARRY ME HOME, ABSOLUTELY !!

praise the LORD !!

hard to beat that sweet time fiddlin

That sound system...wow.

WOULD HAVE BEEN EVEN A LITTLE MORE SPECIAL IF THE THE OSBORNE BROS. HAD BEEN THERE

Don't you love it when they interrupt a song with an ad? Great timing, KZread.

@antoinebrosseau no, Mouse Jaw. It's much smaller, you probably haven't heard of it.

Anyone know where you can get the entire episode? I had it recorded on VHS forever and lost it!

Butch was in a 'rock' band previously-clothes, hair, hygienically challenged-the whole bit. Google him-He most likely did a few drugs in his youth.

My error-wrote before viewing-I've seen Bill with both Blake & quite e few times with Butch, and Butch DID play some 'far-out' ban jo at least at every show-taped a few.
