Listening to Foggy Mountain Breakdown LOUD driving down the highway has got me several speeding tickets in my life. It just has a way of doing it to you.
AMEN! It does, indeed. One of the best times I ever had was driving over a back road in PA on my way to visit my sister and this started playing. I had grown up driving country roads so I was enjoying it and going for all it was worth. My sons were laughing - my wife, not so much. Oh well 😄 She never had much of a sense of humor anyway. I'm probably lucky I didn't wrap us around a tree, but damned if I couldn't almost hear the sounds of those 'revenuers' coming after me! LOL
Earl Scruggs is thee best musician ever....❤ and i dont listen to country bluegrass much but when you hear Earl play you know you are privilaged to be listening to a master.
My Mom's brother played the banjo just like Earl Scruggs! Grew up with him playing banjo, mom on guitar! Had such a fun time dancing to this music most of my life! God Bless!
What’s amazing to me is how, today, we have CZcams and the technology that these men didn’t have back then and yet I still can’t figure out how to play it. Mr. Scruggs created this in his own mind back in 1949. Simply amazing
One of my favorite songs growing up, my Uncle played Banjo! Was amazed by how fast his fingers moved! Not like guitar players! Hardly any movement! I loved it, still do today and I am now 70 years old!
Too many are falsely called "A LEGEND" these days... That word was created for such as EARL SCRUGGS, A TRUE LEGEND!!! One other note: The looks, the smiles between this father and his middle son say it all... love, pride, respect. Nice.
Absolute King of the Banjo World! I got to see Earl & Randy quite a few times over the years, the best was at the Ozark Music Festival July 19-21, 1974 Sedalia, MO. Even in 100'+ temps, they rocked the stage!!!
This is fantastic. Earl Scruggs is superb and Ricky Skaggs is okay too but it's Randy that steals the show. And Jerry Douglas. And Stuart Duncan. What a lineup.
"Dead" is a state of mind; just like Segovia, De Lucia, Reinhardt, Grappelli and a ton of other God given talents, once heard, that worm always wriggles from time to time..imho
I love watching the hands of banjo pickers! They barely move, unlike guitar players! Always amazed me as a kid! My Uncle played like Earl! Fingers flying!
I've always been a fan of Flatt and Scruggs. When they broke up it broke my heart. But Earl Scruggs is the very best banjo artist there ever will be. No matter how any any tries they'll never be better than Eatl
I like Ricky Skaggs and think he’s a great performer and or musician and an all around good guy and I know he didn’t mean to insult anyone but when he said frailing sounded awful saying imagine that’s how bad it would sound if it hadn’t been for Earl Scruggs what an insult that was to people like Grandpa Jones,Stringbean, Bashful Brother Oswald, Ralph Stanley who often played clawhammer style, Josh Graves and others. Earl himself has said he enjoyed clawhammer banjo playing.
I've been a rock and roller for almost 60 years, and an Earl Scruggs fan nearly as long!
You can be both!!

That's the appropriate crowd reaction to Earl taking stage.

I have zero musical talent. I'm an absolute aww of people that have this gift.

Earl Scruggs was the King of the Banjo !
I have listened to this at least 100 times many with tears
A righteous endeavor. I dug it now fellow babies! None better than Earl!
I believe this is my favourite session from Earl Skruggs doing Foggy Mountain Breakdown

Man I miss growing up during this time in America glad I got to .
Ricky Skaggs makes me want to learn to play the mandolin so bad. Love this song and Trio ❤
May Earl last forever. R.I.P. Earl
Glad to discover this, Rickey Scaggs was my first concert I can ever remember attending. Back in the late 80's Virgina Beach area. Thanks Dad!
This is the original broadcast audio track. A great technical production on top of everything on the stage.
I'm not a bluegrass guy , more classic rock for me. But talent is talent no matter with type of music it is.
Lol..
Im a Metallica guy but this is the best there is in banjo imo. Legend
Sets a mountian bous soul on fire hot damn good picking
Bringin the man from Japan Ken Aoki. Foggy mountain breakdown his rendition will make you cry
This is fantastic. Earl Scruggs is superb and Ricky Skaggs is okay too but it's Randy that steals the show. And Jerry Douglas. And Stuart Duncan. What a lineup.
Jerry Douglas!!!
Beautiful playing all around.❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Even though this legend is dead you will always be remembered

bluegrass is the best music ever!
Earl such a fine gentleman too! Pure class!
Fabulous! My feet just can't stay still!
No doubt, a legend for all time!🇺🇸
I love blue grass, but this one will always be my favorite one
I’ve just started learning the banjo. This is great inspiration
Good for you, God Bless
EARL STILL HAS IT!
He died in 2012.
So good !!!
That's gives me inspiration to pick up my guitar again ( and sing as well) :)
I love watching the hands of banjo pickers! They barely move, unlike guitar players! Always amazed me as a kid! My Uncle played like Earl! Fingers flying!

Learned to play from Earl’s book.
This is so great

0:51...........HERE WE GO!!!
Ce sont de vrais virtuoses
If I am asked what bluegrass is, here's the song. Earl's awesomeness knows no bounds.
Doc Watson sitting in front row
This is what i think of when i think of the country
The names Ricky Skaggs (Rickie Lee Skaggs) and Randy Scruggs (Randy Lynn Scruggs) are in a similar ring.
Love USA from Bosnia and Herzegovina 🇧🇦❤🇺🇲
Holy shit, Randy's no slouch either...
2:08 !!
You can't beat the BEST.
earl was a top geezer on the banjo.....an instrument that originated from west africa. the slaves brought over a banju 3 or 4 string
Earl with Toupet
How many times has Earl played Foggy Mountain Breakdown?
❤❤❤🪕❤️❤️❤️
Earl didn't invent the fingerpicking style, but he did popularize it. My uncle was a fingerstyle picker before Earl made it popular.
He just owns that style! Everybody else is playing for second.
Who’s on the dobro?
Jerry Douglas.
Thanks, I’ve never seen him with long hair
Where and when was this recorded?
What was the name of the show, etc?
