Bill Monroe Videos

[DataNick]

Many threads over the years on the Cafe have Bill Monroe videos posted to them, but in my search I've yet to see a thread dedicated just to Monroe videos.

With that in mind my thoughts are a one-stop shop where Bill Monroe videos are archived here on the Cafe. The ground rules for this thread is that Bill Monroe himself should be in the video and the video should not be exclusively someone else playing a Bill Monroe tune or talking about him. Of course postings that are commentary or questions, etc. are appropriate.

Let's just try to keep it positive though....meaning if Bill Monroe is not your cup of tea for whatever reasons, that's fine and dandy, but there's no need to inform us of that here. Do it somewhere else on the Cafe but not this thread, if you please!

Pretty straightforward I believe, so I'll get the ball rolling with probably my favorite Bill Monroe & The Bluegrass Boys video: from the Austin City Limits show in 1981, Kentucky Mandolin

DataNick, nice idea and I like your introduction about keeping this threat positive. Too much negativity going around today. Thank you.

There's a pretty good collection of Monroe on video at THIS YOUTUBE LINK. I haven't watched them all (yet!)

I believe the video in post 3 above is from the last (and much-missed) Berkshire Mountains Bluegrass Festival -- late July 1985, in Duanesburg, New York (I was there).
