  • No one else will ever be able to play this song like him!!! Long live the Earl of Scruggs!!!

  • AND thank you to the ones for the praise. I'm grateful.

  • Yes that's my banjo. Yes I was young and regretfully not the best fiddler. BUT He is my mentor and he asked me to play... he's been there for me when everyone else walked out. So instead of being so hateful.... How bout thinking how great it is that Earl would support someone less fortunate.

  • ricky skaggs is playing watseka illinois on friday aug 26

  • Who is that gal playing the fiddle?? There is a good chance that Paul Warren might come back and play again... that gal could in fact "Raise The Dead".:):):)

  • i am so much younger than Earl, and my figures could never move that fast!. You go Earl, forever. And with such class.

  • Meant to type "fingers,'' of course.

  • i was about 5 feet off the stage right here when he was playing this...i had just got off stage playin with mike cleveland.. it was a great honor to meet earl this night

  • i was about 5 feet off the stage right here when he was playing this...i had ust got off stage playin with mike cleveland.. it was a great honor to meet earl this night

  • Amazing performance by all. It seems Earl only gets faster and better.

  • Lizzy, That's your banjo Earls playingin' right?

  • Excellent!

  • Excellent fiddling along with Scruggs' inimitable banjo pickin'.

  • thats what banjo playin is all about right there....forget anything else.

  • this sounds rpetty good

  • Is that Clay?

  • theres nothing like a good ole banjo song to get the blood going

  • See Bela Fleck's documentary ' throw your heart down; which traces the banjo back to Africa ... bluegrass is an amalgamation of both African and Celtic music ... so keep the race and stereotype out of this beautiful art form ... From an malaysian Indian .. FYI i prob have the only copy of the BANJOMAN soundtrack in the country ... MUST LISTEN

  • @sandhogy Yeah they should obviously spend more time on legislation regarding spelling!

  • Yeah! Excellent fiddle! imagine playin' with Earl..

  • I only found this because my last name happens to be Scruggs, interestin'

  • WOW!!

  • you are watching one of the last films of the best banjo picker that ever came thur the womb...and that's a FACT JACK

  • Have some respect!

  • why do people feel compelled to "say" mean things (that they would never say in person) on sites like this.

  • They hide behind the anonymity of the world wide web. In either case, they have no class.

  • The MASTER!!!

  • Class is CLASS! ain't no faking it!

  • She could fiddle with mine any day

  • That fiddle player is amazing O_O, earl's greatness is a given

  • She Plays The Fiddle *

  • Fiddle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He plays the Fiddle!!!!!!!!!!! although i suppose you can do better than him. in fact, why don't you make your own video and post it on youtube for us

  • yeah, like you're any good

  • She' s a fiddle player and she's pretty darn good. Good enough to share the stage with one of the original Blue Grass Boys and an undisputed legend. But to each his or her own.

  • haha you called her a violinist! lololol

  • EARL IS THE KING, DUDES!!!

  • Dude, check how fast they play.

  • THAT IS ACE OF PICKING!

  • That is The Earl of Scruggs

    :)

  • the king

  • Ahh I shall copy that Fiddle solo!!!

  • すごいです!

  • unbelievable!! stillpicking them outlike that! KICKAAAA!! eeehhhaaaa!!

  • Good!!!

  • I can only imagine how wild the crowd is going...

    Thanks Earl for all the great music! If heaven don't sound like this, I don't wanna go.

  • EYMEN! to that!

  • hey that is Lizzy's banjo.....

  • this is great

  • Earl still adding new licks to his masterpiece!

  • At nearly 84, Earl sounds more than "OK." And he's still got new ideas. Agreed about the fiddling (though it's better than I can do).

  • OK???!?!?!?

    He sounds awesome! As good as ever!

  • True Say, Earl has the best tone of anyone i've ever heard

  • Sorry, replied to wrong comment.

  • Pretty sure that's Lizzy Long on fiddle. She's Little Roy Lewis' daughter.

    Long live Earl!

  • It's also Lizzy Long's banjo.

  • Easy answer: He's going natural now. But -- did he get contacts? No glasses. His picking is absolutely incredible here. Who is the band?

  • Lasik

  • Saw Earl last week & that was my 1st thought...Who is that old man & When did Earl turn grey?? Still some dang fine playin'!

    Luv Earl!

  • Earl has grey hair?!!!!! When did that happen?!!

  • I think he may have been dying his hair.

  • Earl's just going natural with no dye. Or it may just be the harsh lighting.

  • Earl sounds " OK " ........... fiddle and bass sounds amateurish

  • No, Earl sounds as good as ever whether you like it or not.

  • the fiddle is not "amateurish"!!!!!!!!
