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.

Ricky has done more than most in keeping the true spirit of not only Monroe's music but Country generally -alive, so gratifying, authentic and joyous

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

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.

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

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.

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!!

Personally I can't say ANY one group or soloist is the BEST, there's just too many examples of awesomeness out there. Union station and Rhonda Vincent and the rage are two examples that come to mind, with that being said these folks round out the Holy Trinity of bluegrass

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

He deserves the Hall of Fame!

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

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

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.

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

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 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!

How could 38 people not like this? Total brilliance.

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.

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

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

Dream team of country , the best ever

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

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

Country's the best music on the planet ...

Ricky skaggs is my very favorite bluegrass singer😊

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

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!

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

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

That Ricky sure puts on a great show

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

That was far beyond the reaches of most country music today, it was alive and well!!! Ricky has not lost a thing with time, he's got a talent that is continuing to thrive and grow. Thank you for sharing this video and God Blessing for you an yours.

Fantastic concert!! Thank you for this wonderful music

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

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

No one better than Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder. No one. 😊👍

Old Barns at 15:50 is such a joy to hear and to watch those hands and fingers flying up and down the neck. Truly sublime. Thank God we are alive to see this talent.

this is and will always be, the certified "Thunder".... with the one & only Paul Brewster (to the right of Ricky) guitar and vocals. Sadly, he doesn't travel anymore....wish him the best on the 'back 9'
