[bakeruk87]

Imagine the hours that mandolin guy put in.....finger lord

[strawman8]

I love a great fiddler who plays in support of the band and Allison's the one!! Thanks for posting.

[josephcantone]

[taisyouizuo]

豪華メンバーで最高のビューグルコールラグよろしいな～アップし­てくれてありがとう！

[personNumber0123]

Where is the bugle?

[chadabooo]

@personNumber0123 they snapped it and broke it in half with all their kick ass playing

[1937rb75]

Haha Crowe ripped this songs ass!

[freedomfascist]

@1937rb75 hotness fer sure!

[redface626]

I can smell the racism. Only joking. 

[fifthchild34]

Oh,its great!!

[TruegrassBoy]

Only problem is they're playing so much hot stuff they all forgot the melody along the way.

[beechmtn]

@flatopguy Just being a little facetious. I am well aware of Django's greatness. My music library is full of his recordings.

[stonexbonex]

@flatopguy its wierd. there is this little thing we call structure and melody that this thing we call bluegrass music has. that is what grisman should have played (which was the melody like it was played on the jimmy martin record where crowe recorded it) (which im sure you already knew). and he is far from the best mandolin player ever. please do a little research my friend.

[bluegrasscannuk]

@stonexbonex

I don't get your comment. Not to be rude - but are you some sort of world wide expert on the "genre" of Bluegrass and how it is supposed to be played - anytime and all of the time?

Grisman does a fabulous job here. Flawless! Did Crowe say :" Now everybody play it just like it was played on the Martin record?" Were Rice and Krauss also on the Martin record?

Let's all just enjoy great musicians without the nit pickin'.

Have a nice day.

[stonexbonex]

@bluegrasscannuk yes i am. and the originally wasnt a fiddle or guitar solo. But If you know anything about Bluegrass, not to be rude, the only person who should take a guitar solo is tony rice. And Funny Thing is YES CROWE PLAYED IT LIKE THE RECORD. . . lol

[jfree336]

@stonexbonex If you look closely you'll notice that Tony Rice is the only one playing guitar, ergo he is the only one that took a guitar solo.

[lukeman3000]

this is insane by the way. tony rice is a freaking monster

[lukeman3000]

this sounds like the version on the cd "banjos that destroyed the world".. i wonder how many if any of the players are the same

[mntnhooger]

Benny Martin one of the greastest fiddler's of all time.

[TheChaosHippy]

holy crap the madolin player is a bad ass

[cholly853]

Everyone there is awesome in their own right.

[GuitarSmoker0205]

Yea Zane Fairchild is the best i have ever seen then there's Tony Rice which is almost just as good

[Mar10Guitar]

haha this is funny bro.

[k4jdp]

Zane Fairchild is just amazing on guitar, see him in person at Maggie Valley Opry if you can. His timing is just amazing.

[fluffaduck]

I just keep playing along to this video..those JD licks are awesome

[GodsFavoriteBassPlyr]

I don't think Tony Rice has ever won a competition - course then again, I don't think he's ever felt the need to enter one either. Both phenomenal pickers.

[jonneeTV]

I don't think that Jerry ever went to re-hab either,

and Alison definitely looks the same

music, it's about that brilliant thing that they do.

[flatpikinguitar]

@GodsFavoriteBassPlyr Tony won the IBMA Guitar Player Of The Year award 5 times, but that wasn't really a competition. But you are correct that he has never entered a competition to my knowledge

[bluegrassaficionado]

Tony Rice = Greatest flatpicker ever. In fact, everyone in this video is pretty much one of the greatest ever to play their respective instruments.

[stevesprinceofsteaks]

They are good. But although I love Allison she is not even in the top 50 of all time great fiddle players and she would be the 1st to admit it. You got to look at Mark Oconner, Byron Berline, Benny Thommason, Howdy Forrester, texas Shorty, Major Franklin, Terry Morris, and so many others.

[flatpikinguitar]

tony rice actualy having to put effort into playing a solo. im scared

[kdblonde]

Crazy the way music evolves from this to todays hard rock, and metal.... lol

[TehOriginal1]

Dude, Mandaline's RULE!

[hillbillystill]

And if you liked this great band .... may I suggest The Out Of Town Boys video. Not as uptown slick, but I really like what they do!.

[fluffaduck]

cant touch Tony  Rice

[flatpikinguitar]

bryan sutton

[fluffaduck]

who is bryan?

[flatpikinguitar]

bryan sutton, 5 time ibma guitar player of the year, kentucky thunder lead guitar player until 2000. nashville studio musician and one of the best guitar players around.

[JBRHC78]

Yeah. So what? Why would you bring him up??

[flatpikinguitar]

in my opinion he is the best guitar player in the world

[JBRHC78]

I see now. I didn't read the whole thread. I'd have to say David Grier.

[flatpikinguitar]

he is a great guitar player and one of my favorites. still cant figure out how he controls his pick without anchoring his wrist or hand anywhere. but i guess what works works.

[ejc1974]

Go Dawg!!

[capitancriterio]

yes, 3:08 all the way

[thebluegrasspicker]

love what jd crow does at 3:08 and why did nobody clap for Grisman.

[Bosotros65]

What JD does at 3:08 is great but it's note for note an Earl Scruggs lick that he used in the same tune.

[figgskzoo]

Nobody claps for Grisman cuz he looks like Osama Bin Laden.

[bradyj66]

Lol buddy, im not sure osama bid laden was such a hot topic at that time

[nonmax15]

great comment. lmao

[burduex]

its a fiddle not a violin we aint einglish

[urfaceislolburn]

Professional guitarist here, southeast...Retired, just do it for fun, but play full time now. His solo is cool I suppose, especially for it's time. It's a little bit "lick" oriented, but so is Tony Rice's stuff...I guess that's kind of where Bluegrass has been for a long time. That's why I like some of the "newer age" guitarists, less licks, more feeling. In my opinion...go on hate me for saying it. But this is all lick oriented and you know it =)

[bradyj66]

Lol u dont know what ur talkin about buddy, all of us ere DONT know it, and are happy with the way it is.

[littlebighorm]

excelente!!!sin palabras, llega bien al corazon

[cohenj45]

I don't know how anyone could have the gaul to berate two of bluegrass's finest instrumentalists (Grisman and Rice). The very thought is just kind of silly. I guess someone here has a grudge or just woke up on the wrong side of bed.

[beboobeboo]

I actually do play banjo myself, and have played "in front of people." I'm nowhere near the level of these guys, obviously, but very few are. I love everyone else on the stage, especially JD Crowe. Grisman is about the only big name mandolin player that I feel just doesn't cut it. I'm a big fan of many mandolin players like Adam Steffey, Ronnie McCoury, Josh Williams (back when he was with Special C), Chris Thile, Sam Bush, Wayne Benson, Ricky Skaggs, Dan Tyminski, Bill Monroe, Doyle Lawson....

[2ndgeneration]

I guess you didn't notice the way Rice and Krauss looked at him while he was taking his mandolin break? They were in awe!!

[j25k]

Hey man... tone down. Don't drag all that negativity with you in here. Do you even play your self??? Bet you've never stood before an audience. Music is joy so if you don't like what you hear then go practice or something!

[beboobeboo]

...and that grisman doesn't play in time at the beginning of his break and the tone on half his notes is straight up garbage. but other than that...

[donnyaldridge]

You need to stand up now and prepare you "dumb ass of the year" award speech. I would like to hear that! Good musicians will have a field day with this, especially the part about Grisman's tone.

[banjobozo]

Grisman had one of the coolest solos I've ever heard, he was awesome.

[Elgatoviejo]

I gotta agree. Grisman's solo pwnd.

[beboobeboo]

i will never understand how people can think grisman even belongs in the same sentence as anybody else on stage. I don't like mandolin solos which consist of a couple cool runs along with stretches of just one note being played many times in a row when Grisman can't think of anything else to do. Everybody else is great though.

[shikamaru1500]

your just mad because you cant play an instrument for your life

[dreadnought45]

Great stuff. As Ricky Scaggs says, "Blugrass Rules".

[mase0687]

gosh dang tony rice will hit a g lick and run that guiar right through your jaw ..jarrod buddy you got one hell of a vault on here keep em commin bub

Mason

[electrictoast]

David Grisman is a pimp, but he looks like he should be a science teacher at a junior high somewhere. Tony Rice is an even bigger pimp, and he looks like Bill Murray.

[stringplayer07]

Thats what Im talking about!!! Yeah!!!

[basserase]

Mark Schatz rules.

[jlhymer]

could have bought that goldstar. it was real good for a new banjo

[hbdavew]

These Bluegrass All-Star posts are a real treat. Thanks

[2ndgeneration]

Top of the line. Don't get no better!

[Froike]

Great Post...I'm wiping the sweat off my brow! Sweet!

[powerthomas]

i've always thought that grisman was a weird choice for this group.

[2ndfret]

I think J. D would sound good on any banjo. He sounded real good on the Gold Star he used to play.

[carteru93]

Well like you said, any banjo!

[carteru93]

I wonder how JD would sound on a Huber...

[xcnow]

I saw J.D. do Bugle Call Rag at Corinth Festival in 1977. I was 10 years old and never forgot it. This brings back great memories! Awesome!

[HisDudeness1983]

This is crazy, awesome, and inspiring at the same time! Music at this level only makes one want to practice even more!

[carteru93]

WHOA look at Grisman go! LOL

[kennytheworm]

27 strings, 5 people, 5 boxes of wood and metal, amazing. these cats sound like a freight train. where's my guitar?!?

[bopbopbobert]

Whoa Mule !!!!!

[therising1]

I think this music is very underappreciated.

How awesome!!! Thanks for posting!!!

[726ryblz66]

All-Stars is exactly right! Pop a top to this one.

[jesusakuschick]

AMAZING FIDDLE!! I heart Alison Krauss!!

[bambibigone]

That's a fiddlin' fool. Thanks so, so much

[dcguitar]

this is teriffic.
