Original Tape credits go to Ronnie Williams, who passed the tape to Freeman Kitchens, who passed it along to Anthony Lupo. Lupo passed the tape along to me and I am glad to present it to you now. Passed along just like a Carter Family song! Enjoy!

    Amazing that this is available to the public, this incredible historic recording of the Carter Family. Thank you to all of you who made this possible.
  • I didn’t get enough of the Carter’s singing down here. Looking forward to hearing them sing in heaven.

    This feels like a casual family gathering where everyone pulls out an instrument and has a go, only the family just so happens to be country music legends. What a treasure! Thanks for sharing.

    This is incredible. Thank you for uploading the full show.
  • This is wonderful. Thank you. It’s neat to hear them chatting and Maybelle’s sense of humour is endearing. They’re all so real.
  • Just fantastic! Like being inside of a history book with the original players. 🎶🎶💕
  • @mvl6827
    … And there’s Joe, Jeannette and Helen too . All so talented !
  • This was fantastic! I've always loved the carter family group although they are from a different country and a different time. Sarah Carter's voice is so beautiful! And it's great to see that the rest of the family are so talented . Thanks so much for posting this. Best concert I've been to for ages. Cheers.!

    Thank you for sharing this captured legendary moment. This old film makes me realize just how important each person is during their life. The video recorder captured three musicians who captured the beauty of life even though they experienced deaths and health injuries, they lived, shared their lives with others, and are still teaching others (us, the viewers and listeners) how to play music and set our eyes on the Lord God Almighty as our lives fade as theirs have faded away from this temporary realm.❤

    This is probably the best performance they ever gave. God Bless Them.
