Seldom Scene - Joe Val 2008 - It's All Over Now Baby Blue

[YardSaleJunkie2]

Beautiful!! My favorite Bluegrass band!!

[JimmyPagesSoloLover]

just good music!

[Ann1stoftwo]

The band is good but not the same when they had Phil, john and Mike. I love Lou Reeds sound but its not "the seldom scene".

[dogsee1]

lou reid is awesome.....don't compare him to duffey or dudley, they are all great..damm JOHN DUFFEY..the greatest in my opinion..love john..r.i.p.

[whozis2]

I loved Dylan doing this song. Then I found it by the Country Gentlemen, and was pleasantly surprised, because I love Bluegrass! Duffey knew how to pick these songs and give them a Bluegrass sound.

[Hardburly]

Lou Reid is a great vocalist, but John Duffy made

the sound seem so cohesive and unique with his

his aggressive and strong tenor sounds.

[PainMaster5]

Lou Reid is a good vocalist. I do miss John Starling and John Duffey though. And no one was as good as Larry the Legend aka Mike Auldridge.

[jerseyboy75]

I do think Fred Travers ads flare and attitude in his style of playing that Mike did not have.. The legend is awesome don't get me wrong, but I think Fred is the man.

[Amandocrespo]

my godness.... hurra for i-net... it was one of my first song when I was banjoist newbiee

[450Masher]

This is absolutely amazing! I am impressed that alot of people cut records and don't capture the sound like this bunch has just in live performance. Awesome!!!

[tjbare78]

@450Masher Very well put!

[hillsdeville]

atleast lou is tryin to sound like duffey most ppl would be too proud to do that thinking they could bring more to the band... at least lou realizes duffey was king!!!!!!

[geldridge]

John Duffey was a great mandolin player and singer...not a conventional one, even he would have said he wasn't...Just great phrasing, timing, etc. Music is more than being technically correct. Having said that, I miss him and this is one of my favorites he did.

[scenefan65]

well said i agree!

[tejasbullet]

@geldridge

I'll probably offend some people by saying this, even though it isn't my intention. Duffy was a great entertainer, but his mando skills were equal to Dylan's harmonica. For as long as he had been playing it, Duffy was the most sloppy mando player I know of. And, frankly, I didn't think he was a very good tenor vocalist, either.

Still, I've followed the Scene since they were playing the Red Fox and I know they pioneered much of what is now known as New Grass. A fun band.

[geldridge]

@tejasbullet I will grant you all that. I don't think he deserved the thrashing Ralph Stanley gives him in his book. But Duffey was an entertainer. I wish I had half his on-stage presence LOL.

[tejasbullet]

@geldridge

I haven't read the Ralph Stanley book yet but, now that you've brought it up, I'll see if my local library has a copy.

I've been playing (at) guitar since the mid-sixties, but I don't have near the stage presence and quick wit that John Duffy had. Both, on and off stage, the man was riotously funny and a joy to try have a conversation with. But like Robin Williams, John's mind worked so quickly that it was hard to keep up with him.

[Jimala3]

looks like its Ben's Band now....tears for Duffy.

[scenefan65]

great song duffey was great lou is also right up there

[feeeball]

thanks i can listen to this over and over and over again

[CABluegrassGirl]

Love the classic lineup, but Lou Reid surpasses himself here. Great video. Thanks for posting it.

[bluegrassguy33]

I hate to admit it, but I think I like Lou singing this better than Duffey did.

[mase0687]

Ah Buddy Lou Reed is definatly tough but im more partial to tradition i guess ..great band either way :) have a goodn bub

[tmscot01]

That's why my favorite line-up was the Lou-Duffy -Eldridge-Auldridge-Coleman lineup....it was the best of both worlds.

[jtcapri1]

Great clip of an awsome band. Pretty good sound quality too. Thanks
