I have been looking for awhile trying to find the complete video from the show that Ralph put on in 1977 while down in Kentucky to record the Clinch Mountain Gospel Album. I have found pieces of it on youtube such as:
youtube.com/watch?v=hvn6Et9RboQ
and
youtube.com/watch?v=bmLD07LDM7s
I think it was filmed by KET and broadcast on PBS a few times. I think at one time KET also sold copies. Wondering if anyone out there remembers seeing it and has a copy of it or taped it off of TV. I think it was a really top notch show from what I can find and would like to see it in it's entirety.
TIA

Glad to see someone asking the same question I was going to ask! This concert is an obvious masterpiece and needs to be preserved.
I wrote to KET ... no response.
I would pay or even return to the owner after copying and remastering ...

Glad to know at least one other person is looking for it too :). I am sure someone out there has it. Perhaps one of these days it will show up

A great series of shows done under the title "bluegrass, bluegrass" (pretty sure that was the name). In addition to Ralph, I recall the McClain Family, JD Crowe and Boone Creek. There may have been a couple of others. I don't have copies though...vcrs were pretty expensive in 1977!

Yes I believe you are correct on the name. I think Ralph mentions them filming the show in one of his books. I believe they were in KY to record the Clinch Mt Gospel album and they put on this show while they were in town. That show some talent when you can be recording an album and go "since we are here, let's play a show and film it for TV"
I think the show must have been rebroadcast at some point, I remember seeing the TNN logo on some of the youtube videos of it that used to be up. And as I mentioned I think KET sold copies at one time.
Sure would be nice to see it turn up. I think Ralph was at one of his performing peaks, and that really needs to be shared with the bluegrass community.

That is really cool. I just actually got done watching those. They were awesome to see

Keith Whitley's vocals on those live versions of the same songs from the Clinch Mountain Gospel album are just incredible (Rock of Ages, Bethleham). Timeless.

Was out looking some more for these videos and came across this newspaper article talking about the upcoming taping of the Bluegrass, Bluegrass show. It is from Corbin, Kentucky June 2, 1977. I thought it was a neat read.

Nice one Bill,
I had a trawl to see how much of the show was on You tube - here's what I got... Look out for Ricky Skaggs in the audience.

That's a helpful list. I wish I had the exact set list to know what all songs are missing and the order they were played. My guess is most of what we have is probably most of the set. The only one I know of for sure that is missing is Mountain Dew since you can see a short clip of it in the "Keith Whitley 101" video that is on youtube. One of these days we will find someone with the whole tape

I have the whole show of Ralph Stanley with Keith Whitley from the KET 1977 series "Bluegrass Bluegrass". I also have the whole show of Boone Creek from this same series. I am collecting FULL episodes from these old shows such as this one, the current KET Jubilee series, and also old TNN shows like Fire on the Mountain, New Country, American Music Shop, Renos Old Time Music, old episodes of Austin City Limits, Marty Stuart Show, CMTs Life & Times Of... series, At The Ryman with Ricky Skaggs series, The Marty Party (Marty Stuart), Porter Wagoner Show, Wilburn Bros Show, Buck Owens Show, Johnny Cash Show, Dolly Parton Show (1977), Nashville Now, Pop Goes The Country, Nashville On The Road, & Hee Haw.
I need help finding full episodes of these shows I mentioned above!! I know some of yall out there probably have some recorded on VHS. I can edit & transfer VHS to DVD.

Just spotted another clip on youtube.
youtube.com/watch?v=FJpLOB8r5iY
The Ralph Stanley section starts at around 8:26 on the tape & has the first 22 minutes of the show with:
- 1. I Hear A Choo Choo Comin
- Footprints In The Snow
- Katy Hill
- Just Because
- I'll Just Go Away
- Rocky Island (cut)
I'd love to get a complete copy of this show...
