I've read that Earl Scruggs originated the three-finger style of banjo playing, but that close-up (2:52) shows he only uses two fingers with some help from his thumb.
No... It's "EARL SCRUGGS and Steve Martin." You introduce THE LEGEND FIRST. Paul's piano does not work with "Foggy Mountain Breakdown." My favorite version has Earl Scruggs, Randy Scruggs, and Ricky Skaggs. It's perfect, and on RUclips.
As Steve Martin said in one his classic comedy bits in the 70's you just can't be sad when Banjo music is happening. Lost My Job Today! Who Cares?
This is the song yhat kid in The Hot Rod Lincoln had on his 8-track when he passed that Cadillac! 😅
got shut paul Shafer up. I didn't make it half a bar before I had to shut it off! otherwise was enjoying it
Brother you would never see a band of banjo players on any talk show today!
Paul pounding those keys

Amusing that Schafer needs to stand up in order to keep up with the banjos.
It must have a treasure for him to play the piano with such great musicians. ❤musicians do care about each other and their fellow musicians works.
I have to agree
It's.. Great.. But it Ain't.... King Tut !!!! Seriously it's F n... Awesome!!! Mr Dilly.. Approved! !! 👍 🤣❤️
Effing amazing!!!
Luv this i could play the banjo just so i could play this hee haw here comes Bonnie and Clyde 😊❤
THIS IS AMERICANA! Can we also give credit to Paul Schafer for being one of the most amazing musicians in the planet? The man is unreal!
The man can play!!
Yes! I love that Paul jumped right in with the piano and made it fit with the style and play. Just well done!
Yeah, the pride of thunder bay is a special guy. I love him.
It IS Americana, like Bo Diddley, It's music made out of poverty.
Heck yea 👑
I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TIME/AGE/NOTHING MATTERS EXCEPT TALENT!
Sounds like the Ramones
This is the first time I remember seeing Paul tear it up. Like, in a solo.
Steve Martin is not one of the people I think of when it comes to music, but he is good. Great performance by all!

Like to see people try and "line dance" to this.
Piano ruined it.
Leave it to paul to wreck the performance
Awesome
Surprised Bela was not there. Scruggs laid the foundation for the three finger style but IMHO Bela is the GOAT
Steve is the greatest
Go Steve Martin best blue grass song luv the banjos would luv to learn to play so I could play this❤😂
U go Steve Martin your friggin great holding your own with Mr Banjo himself Srubbs ❤😂
👍👍👍😁
There is no sound.
I still love hearing this!!!
There is a reason Paul Schaffer was part of the band of hall of famers at the end of Blues Brothers 2000. He earned being there.
Absolutely joyful.
And they make it look so easy.
Awesome! Right up Until Paul Shaffer jumped in on the keyboard
So awesome how you can pick Earl out among all those amazing players and banjos. That Earl tone!!
My favorite blue grass song luv banjos❤
This is awesome 🤩
OMG, that's all I got..., 😀😂
Bring a tear to your eye 😢
Much too redundant! Add some originality.
Flawless. Lol 😊
I play this on my Martin D28, but something gets "lost in translation".
For a second career, Martin does incredibly well as a banjo player.
4 is 5 too many banjos
I remember as a little kid he played a banjo in the band of the Glen Campbell show
That was tough. Mad respect
Steve Martin is a fantastic banjo player! He knows his way around the music industry and comes to MERLE FEST in North Wilkesboro North Carolina.
That feller that played directly after the piano... wow
Yeah that dude is a beast!
Had to look him up. Charles wood is his name
You see America was GREAT!
See till the best!
Needs more cowbell…
