I think I've seen this before.

I heard this about 7-8 years ago, and bought the Earl Scruggs & Friends CD.
The video of all of the guys playing is better than the Letterman one. It has Steve Martin, Vince Gill, Marty Stuart, Paul Shaffer and Leon Russell among other people playing with Earl and it's great. I'm not a fan of any other Bluegrass (except Alison Krauss) but the one track made it worth it to buy the whole CD. (It sounds wonderful on a good audio system as well!)
The CD is out of print, but can still be found.

i know i have, but i love me some bluegrass sometimes.
theres also a clip of him playing on letterman with (among others) bela fleck , who is a great banjo player and has a good bluegrass/jazz fusion band called the flecktones.
