[bluerailroad]

Bass! Bass! WHO is the bass player?? A monster.

[baloo7979]

@bluerailroad It must be Roy Huskey Jr.

[TronconesAmigo]

Sounds like a Steel JD , not a Dobro

[coleyman1]

@TronconesAmigo That's a very young Jerry Douglas!! Probably the best dobro player in the world. He and Fleck are probably two of the most noted musicians in the world on their instruments. This had to be lots of years ago because Douglas looks like a child. Really good stuff here.......

[bluegrasscannuk]

Bela Fleck on Banjo . Great example of Jimmy's unique singing style. You were never bored at a Jimmy Martin show.

Is there a CD available on Austin City Limits and a DVD of this one available, as I hope that there is a CD from this performance on Austin City Limits as I would love to have a DVD especially with John Denver as if it'll hopefully be available. Was this clip made in 1989 or 1990? Who is the guy in the black leather vest at 1:26 playing the black mandolin? Was this clip made in 1989?

@COWBOYMACLEOD this is from 1990, Austin City Limits. There is no dvd availiable that i know of. This is a rip from very old vhs when it aired on pbs then. most of the songs would have been recorded on Nitty Gritty Dirtbands "Will The Circle Be Unbroken 2" albulm.

[donnyaldridge]

Clements on fiddle, O Connor on Mando and Douglas on Dobro...Damn classic.

[COWBOYMACLEOD]

@donnyaldridge @jqtomlin Darn classic at 1:19-1:38 I really love the sound of that banjo and the movements in those people? Who is the guy in the black leather vest at 1:26 playing the black mandolin, is that Bernie Leadon? At 0:41, who's the guy in the moustache, is that the lead singer and what's his name, is that Bernie Leadon?

@COWBOYMACLEOD Nitty Gritty Dirt Band member, Jimmy Ibbotson is wearing the black leather vest and playing mandolin. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band founding member, Jeff Hanna (with moustache) is playing rhythm guitar and singing harmony vocals
