@ WildwoodvalleyBoy: lol Yes I agree. The band that I'm no longer part of is a HUGE reminder of that. But they never learned that. Gallagher Blaylock & Flatline. LMAO
dsdeutsch, thanks so much for posting these. It is great to watch the boys at work, and funny to see Dudley with no 'stache.
There have been several bluegrass supergroups since, but I don't think any have come close to the talent assembled in the JMB, they were simply outstanding.
I have heard arguements that this is the fastest Bluegrass track or version ever! I think i would have to agree now! I had heard this song nay a time but never like this! AWESOME! Now to be able to see it played! Wow!
my pops dragged me around to bluegrass festivals when i was a kid -- very very boring, but I got to see the johnson mt boys and that made it all worth it... love these guys
I have had the album for about 3 years i was about 12 years old when this took place.Never in my dreams did i think i would actually get to see these same tracks performed in the same order at the same place were it was recorded if not the best one of the best bluegrass performances in the 80's.
nobody can do a coal mining song like dudley connell, he puts so much feeling into. he must have worked inby before his singing career. dream of a miners child, as we hear on this video and blue diamond mine has so much feeling when he sings it. BEST I HAVE EVER HEARD!!!

Golly Miss Molly. These guys are good. This is like The Out Of Town Boys videos. Both great bands.

Thanks, dsdeutsch. I was thinking that was maybe the case. Thanks for the clarification and even more so for posting this awesome footage.

Buy the Johnson Mountain Boys' live album, "At the Old Schoolhouse". It won an IBMA award in 1990 and is the greatest live bluegrass recording EVER.
