[diatroptoff94]

the burritos!!!!

[dnbjedi]

the american pioneering spirit lives on in bluegrass........ not country

[ETSUeastman515]

bobby hicks!!! son!!

[TruegrassBoy]

I've always considered these guys bluegrass royalty ever since the first Bluegrass Band album came out. Mostly traditional with a little extra thrown in for flavor. The best.

[Taterwthlcb]

Haha! He not perfect after all! But awful close...J.D. your plenty awesome to make up for that.

[robertlaberge]

Composed by Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman and appearing on the first Flying Burrito Brothers album.

[katsongs]

Gram tune...He'd love that it goes on. Cherryholmes does a nice take on this...

[BATENKILL]

He did mess up BUT I have to give it to him he didn't give a hell he was on TV he stepped up to the mic and kicked of and ended it right!!!!!

[smoothprox]

JD got a little tangled up there...

[HillbillyJ]

What an idiot. These "rednecks" are probably more talented than you could ever dream of being.

[GusBusCarnival]

By the way over on the couch with Ralph Emery were none other than Chet Atkins and Earl Klugh watching the master breaking balls with that old D-28.

[GusBusCarnival]

JD thought he was going to do another break but the other guys were ending the song instead

[blugrastooth]

i love jerry's hairdo. lol

[flatpikinguitar]

is bobby hicks playing a 5 string fiddle there

[dagetage]

Yes. he is playing the same fiddle he has for the last 30 years. THe maker was from Burlington, NC and he only made two 5 string fiddles. Bobby still plays his and Johnny Ridge of the Al Batten Band plays the other one...

Bobby's is one of the best fiddles ever made but Ridge's sounds at best mediocre...I have no idea why they sound so different. Hicks claims his was ordained by the Holy Spirit (HP)...I agree....it is so powerful it's amazing

[donnyaldridge]

I have played it a couple of times and it has a lot of volume...Really loud and crisp...Mine which is pretty loud sounded almost muted beside of his..But I didn't have a shoulder rest on mine at the time which kills some of your sound...

[jtg2507]

Love Jerry's mullet!

[beethovenian]

I'm sorry but that lick at the very end was hilarious. I gotta learn that one.

[carteru93]

Always great to just float through a song without problem, then get completely skewered in the last measure! haha

[bluegrassbeer1]

Thes guys are SICK.

[7000518]

Pathetic? Folks, sounds like somebody finally thinks they are better than Crowe! Nice username by the way. How old are you?

[Brazd28]

Well the truth of it is he was told it was to be a fade to black so he didnt realize it. wasnt a miss.Ive known Crowe for 20 years he dont miss much.

[osupreacher]

Amazing vocalists and even more amazing instrumentalists!

[miggon]

It's our loss that Tony Rice has lost his voice. His picking is incomparable; but he was underappreciated as a vocalist.

[LouisvilleKY]

Does anyone know the year that this was recorded?? Thanks, great stuff!!

[donnyaldridge]

This was the 86 Frets Awards Show I think it aired in January 87.

[OldAndBlue]

A favorite of mine for years now. Thank you for the upload.

[musicianforjesus]

This was a good group.

[HillbillyJ]

JD flubbed, JD flubbed, so what? Hes still "The man" of post-Scruggs banjo players. Ever musician flubs every now and again.

[mandomanf5]

love the mix on this, Doyle comes thru real nice on the chorus !!

[sonofdenny75]

ending or not, they're still the finest.

[BATENKILL]

SON rice mashed it!!!!!!

[BShuping]

These guys are the best!

[extrasouth]

They don't seem to have it all together do they?

[EvanPhillips1]

the bluegrass album band was originally for the studio but whwn they found out that they were really popular they did a small tour

and they all had there own bands at the time

[miggon]

They had it together as musicians, for sure. What you're noticing is their willingness to take risks on the fly. This is the highest order of the Bluegrass idiom, which -- like jazz -- is built on taking risks and reaching for extemporaneous expression in the moment. That flub at the end? Perhaps JD Crowe was reaching for a riff he hadn't tried before. Maybe he was playing injured. We'll never know. The point is, these are masterful players whose musical prowess is beyond reproach.

[HillbillyJ]

I agree.

Come to think of it, I don't recall JD ever playing that last bit like that before.

[donnyaldridge]

Great even though JD flubbed the ending.
