Excellent Video

"I just want to contradict another reviewer's comments that these performances are not up to par. I think they are wonderful. Many bluegrass musicians like myself are getting to see renditions of songs and tunes, and those of us that study the nuances of Scruggs-style picking are finding endless examples of how Earl really played them. It would be possible but very improbable for any group to have the same energy in a TV studio that they had live at Carnegie Hall. To me, it is even more enlightening to see them in a relaxed atmosphere. The quality from tune to tune is extraordinary and shows their consistency and professionalism. I will buy every one they ever produce."

Another Vintage Masterpiece

"Lester, Earl and the band are in fine form on volume 4. Several of my favorites are Lester's vocal on I Know What it Means to Be Lonesome, Earl's banjo backup work on Nine Pound Hammer and the bands vocal and instrumental work on Shady Grove. It is also nice to see Randy Lynn playing the autoharp on Wildwood Flower and I Wander How the Old Folks Are at Home. The shows are live and fast paced, even the commercials are fun to watch. I never cease to be amazed how the band members back each other up, stay out of each others way and come together for the vocals. This is band etiquette as it should be."
