The last part of the footage features a bit of "My Sweet Blue Eyed Darlin'"...fabulous!

Is there any chance you have more of the Blue Grass Boys show you'd be willing to share?

@BanjoBoyMatteo I've got about two minutes of "My Sweet Blue Eyed Darling" & all of "I'll Never Shed Another Tear" along with Bill Introducing the band. This is actually footage from 1977. From 1976 I have about a minute and a half of "On and On". I also have quite a bit of footage of Lester Flatt on the Bean Blossom stage in 1977 with 16 year-old Marty Stuart playing guitar and mandoline with Lester.

As an interviewer Pete Churton sounds a little like he is fighting constipation.
