Hot Rize: Blue Night

[LoveFlatfootin1]

It don't get any better than that.

[deborahkauffman09]

I had the priviledge of seeing one of their last shows in Houston, the only time I did see them, and they were awesome and are awesome players, miss them and the music...

[buffalobilly]

I dare to say; the best band in the 80's

[jm1072]

Pete rules the banjo!

[celticladda]

Great vocals. Great band.

Have to say though that the electric bass is really tacky. way too loud, and it's out of freakin' tune.

[hallmark498]

Love it! thanks for sharing

[flatpikinguitar]

I think tim broke a string right at the last of blue night

[mrbibblebabble]

I miss Charles... as does all of Wyoming, Montana (not to mention Montana, Wyoming!). Bless 'em all!

[NooGods]

YUPPERS... "good stuff" indeed... except for that goofy gospel lordy goo. I followed Hot RIze way back when... and recently spoke with the good "Dr. Banjo", Pete Wernick right here in Colorado with his new group. They are most excellent as well... and the mandolin player from East TN is technically brilliant. I just took up the banjo about 1 1/2 yrs ago and doing quite well (used to play guitar in my teens n' twenties). Always like the simple but efffect "Blue Night"! Pete & I have aged!

[drbanjo181]

these guys are great! At least you know who is playing without looking at them. Unlike other bands who can't tell who is playingn without looking at them

[daidli]

[Dpkll5]

[goldrb6]

My Bad. "HQ" not in "HD".

[8STRINGR]

Notice that if your'e watching this in HD at about 2:34 you'll see that one of Tim's mandolin string breaks. The stage light just reflects off of it as it breaks right at the end of the song (timer). That's why he walks off stage for probably another mandolin after their opening song. Don't you hate it when that happens? That's why I bring two mandolins with me to a show.

[grundlechive]

I love how he doesn't skip a beat though. Class act.

[innertubed2m]

@8STRINGR String breaks @ 1:50

[loggyness]

@8STRINGR Actually the string breaks around 1:50 that is why he lifts his hand from the mandolin and that is also why he didn't take another mandolin break, like he normally does, because I am sure when he broke that string, the tension let lose and the rest of them went all out of tune. lol

[Zoidbergins]

I sure miss these guys, thanks for the great vid.

[rltjr2006]

alot of drive bass playing is awsome on blue night. Too bad not still playing. Hotrize one of the best

[bigwidestrum]

these guys put on the best show..great bluegrass, hot rize style and the red knuckles stuff would kill. my sides hurt from laughing with those guys.  sure miss seeing them. btw, i buy every tim o'brien record that comes out..... i recommend his latest: Chameleon

[bluegrassaficionado]

Probably the smoothest and truest voice ever to grace bluegrass music... Tim O'Brien rocks!

[chirfu]

and the smoothest right hand technique the world will know!

[BroughamConspiracy]

This could only come from Colorado. Sweet, Brilliant Mountain Music.

[grundlechive]

Though Timmy was born and raised in good ole' West Virginia

[TTipper]

Great Vid!

From a Canadian fan.

[TheJamdolinPlayer]

Now thats some smooth guitar pickin'

[carlsage]

The Legendary Hot Rize, nuff said.

[8STRINGR]

Powerful, driving song! Tim O'Brien is one of my mandolin and singing mentors! Loved everything Hot Rize recorded! Great stuff!

[troubadour72]

It always looks so effortless when Tim sings! What a band!

[Saxy64]

This band was majic in its hayday. God Bless Charles Sawtelle. RIP

[mandolingirl09]

You don't get any better than that!!! Blue Night!
