5.0 out of 5 stars Bluegrass Music Never Sounded Better, February 28, 2003

Nobody can perform Live Bluegrass better than Ralph Stanley and this CD captures him at his peak. This live double CD actually does a pretty darn good job of delivering the energy of a bluegrass festival Ralph Stanley performance to your CD player. It's full of gems like Ralphs introduction of Ricky Scaggs (who had just graduated high school). Keith Whitley's musical wizardry and Ralph's hard driving bluegrass banjo coupled with awesome vocals and instrumentals, jokes, and dialog make this a must have for any bluegrass fan.

This high quality recording of early '70s festival performance is an essential for any Bluegrass fan. Ricky Scaggs and Keith Whitley show their skills at the start of their careers. They play all of the favorites - the next best thing to being at a live show.
