Old & in the Way / Wild Horses

[yajustgotaloveit]

Wow, no offense intended, but that rendition was better than the Stones, stoned or otherwise.

[ozarkcacti]

@nickgui I think that guy with his finger chopped off gave you to much LSD when he had you around for lessons lol

[mb65228]

Best "straight ahead" bluegrass album of all time.

[mjbrns241972]

Used to see Rowan at the oldest Hotel/Bar still operating in NJ called the Stanhope House back in the late 70's. Great shows and good times were had by all. Always that sweet smell in the air.....

[rainbowpagun]

@mjbrns241972 GOT TOO LOVE THAT SMELL GREW UP IN NJ PEACE

[POPAVIDEO]

magnifique

[wallfootballplayer]

[CloudClimber7]

[ConceptualDefect]

Blinding Brilliance Bonds Brothers By Bluegrass

[wolfkarel]

I prefer this over the Stones version ;-)

[Hayden06]

@nickgui Jerry Garcia fool, I hope you're joking

[nickgui]

@Hayden06 I think the question would be how much of a Fool are you to think I'm not joking

?

[Hayden06]

@nickgui Well I don't know you, glad to hear it though, you had me worried.

[Gargar7980]

wow jerry rocks on everything he touches!!! was lucky enough to c him play with the dead in the 90s!!! R.I.P. jerry garcia u will never b forgotten always b remembered!!!!

[Doug420ist]

lost??????????????????

[TheKeitharoon]

yo blues boy dont forget john kahn with the mule (his bass)

[Sincoola27]

there is an amazing intro to this that is cut out. makes the song literally 50 % worse

[bobbyreed420]

@Sincoola27 well i guess you just don't understand the pure awesomness of jerry and do not realize that jerry is just too cool for that intro

[Sincoola27]

@bobbyreed420 worst most incoherent response ever but..ok

[lmd1112]

this is one of my favorite albums - i don't listen but feel the music

[DrSamba1]

@nickgui Captain Trips.

[meanlezbo]

@nickgui you fucking dumbass it's deadhead jerry garcia..you moron..

[nickgui]

@meanlezbo What a unusual name Deadhead Jerry Garcia. I don't think I've ever met anyone who's first name is Deadhead. How bout you meanlezbo? Kinda a weird name, don't ya think meanlezbo? I'm asking you because you seem like a real aware, intelligent ,perceptive person to think I don't know who the banjo player is, like I'm the one who's a fucking dumbass moron.

[6749er]

@meanlezbo Anyone who really knows anything about Garcia can see he's joking. It's pretty funny if you get it. But being you don't know anything and are everything you called him I can see why you didn't.

[MrGrevy]

@nickgui I think it was Jerry Wilson

[nickgui]

@MrGrevy You pankster. That's not Jerry Wilson.

[cindygibbsbarfield]

I've seen Vassar at Union Grove, NC about 30 yrs ago,, so good,, the sounds of bluegrass music sure puts a smile on my face.. Miss u Jerry

[sixgun4me]

wild horses ... but her kids ...

[SimonMenard1]

@nickgui Garcia, it says in the Description of the movie

[dizubz]

[RobbingRacistRaza]

@nickgui You're a dick.

[nickgui]

@RobbingRacistRaza Keep those good vibrations happen with ya,  ray of sunshine.

[JUDGExNOCTURNAL]

I grew upi in the 70's and 80's and my first Grateful Dead Album or Tape was I think Anthem of the Sun.

I was unaware that later in life I would FALL HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE with the DEAD.

PS: My 1st tape I put tape over the holes and recorded over the music on there BIG MISTAKE!!!

I trully canot believe I did that but I will be a fan of the Dead for the rest of my life.

I will pass along this music to everyone and let them know there is allot more to this music than meets the eye.

[c99sativa]

this stuff is way cool!!!!

[ILLCROOK]

Wow, wowowowowowow.

[bngvegas]

love these guy's...



[HIGGLEFORTTOPALIS]

[bassface9393]

@HIGGLEFORTTOPALIS

meeee

[jessendersn35]

@HIGGLEFORTTOPALIS im 16 i love bluegrass haha

[tuneman45]

I LOVE THIS, Thanks for posting. What a great LP This was.

[blightlv]

@nickgui Jerry Garcia from The Grateful Dead.

[cindygibbsbarfield]

peace be with all of you, it's fine to have a different opinion than others, but do try to be nice about it.. Some have never been exposed to what we were lucky enough to be a part of, they can't help it, they're young.

[ballonmoonspoon90]

and i was only directing that comment to one person not all you guys, sorry if i broke karma

[ballonmoonspoon90]

i know lol sorry people im all about the peace dont me wrong, just gotta bit to offended

[ballonmoonspoon90]

you dumn fucks the warlocks were the grateful dead before they changed there name to the grateful dead, they changed it cause they found a record by a band already calling themselves the warlocks so they immediately changed there name, LONG LIVE THE DEAD

[nickgui]

Hey ballonmoon

You could be nice about it. After all you can't expect anyone else to be as Hip and in the Know as you? Do you? I hope not,

[6749er]

Call me crazy but I brt The Stones could do a -pretty good cover of this old bluegrass classic,

[cindygibbsbarfield]

I go between loving this version and the original, can't choose , just depends on my mood. I just love bluegrass music, but rock and roll is my main choice. You just don;t really appreciate music until you've been exposed to diff. versions , that's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

[nickgui]

Hi Cindy

That's a easy one for me. I love both of them all the time.

[rpdugoni]

Love it! I was at the Boarding House in 73 when this recording was made. It was an amazing time - and I was very fortunate to have seen this band performing several times in 73 and 74.

[1958wvpicker]

damn that is to cool for school

you were very lucky

wish i could have seen them play

[wendybroadrick]

@nickgui Jerry Garcia...the only Jerry in the band

[nickgui]

Thanks Wendy. If I wasn't told I would have never known. Garcia huh? Do you know if he was originally from Spain or Mexico?

[nickgui]

It's a small world. The Jerry from Palo Alto was the only Jerry in bluegrass bands too..Then he was the only Jerry in a Jug Band. I lost interest when he went electric to play R&R with some local guys in band called The Warlocks. They lasted a few months playing pizza places, teen clubs, dive bars, & party's this guy in La Honda had & he was only Jerry in that band too. He was a SFBay hipster unlike this one who from looking at him is down home country back woods bluegrass roots to the core.

[6749er]

@nickgui Funny! Funny some don;t get it too,

[endofdays212]

I have actually met Peter Rowan on many occasions ;) Folks used to take us to the Winterhawk festival every yr and the one at strawberry park in Ct, and of course Escohaeg every summer for the bluegrass cajun fests! Those folks can PARTY!

[endofdays212]

Grew up on this stuff :)~~ My roots are bluegrass to the core! <3 <3 <3

[endofdays212]

@nickgui HA! Love it man! :)~~

[lemmy774]

nobody likes a smart ass. well, i do. but i've learned from bitter experience that not too many other people do. ;)

[nickgui]

Who's the banjo player he's pretty good.

[johnnygriffd]

not knowing if you're being sarcastic or not. It's Jerry.

[taylor410ce]

Jerrry Garcia. he's also a great guitar player.

[nickgui]

@taylor410ce thanks for letting me know his last name. I'm from San Francisco area. We don't get as much bluegrass as some places Hard to keep up with the hot new players. We used to have a lot of bluegrass/ folk purists but like the Jerry who taught my buddy banjo the last I heard he went electric was playing lead guitar in a R&R band. Nice to hear this Jerry keep the great bluegrass music and tradition alive. I'd like to catch these guys.

if they ever come to SF to play. Hot licks.

[sixgun4me]

@nickgui funny you ... they are old n in the way ... dead 4 now

[ethan775]

@nickgui your joking right? like you honestly cant be serious , can you?

[Domavain1]

@ethan775 wow....yeah i think hes serious -__-

[taylor410ce]

Dude you're funny! i know you're being a smart-ass but it's still funny. you have a very sarcastic sense of humor.

[cindybarfield1]

This album was the very first thing that my ex-husband and I had in common. So many good tunes and so much Jerry, He was Dead to the core. LOL Great song..

[cindybarfield1]

I just love the flow of this song, I've always liked Bluegrass music and have seen Vasar C. at Union Grove about 34 yrs ago. one of the greats, also love me some Jerrry!

[pwday]

I was at Union Grove 34 years ago!!! schooling at VPI... now living in Seattle.  I love bluegrass, and unfortunately it's hard to find folks around here that get it.

[pwday]

i love Vassar... have seen him many times, but not in years. I'd give an eyetooth to see him again.

[cindybarfield1]

You have excellent taste in music, I've enjoyed many bluegrass events. Galax, va was one of the best, none could ever beat UG NC

[wzjpkp]

thanks..pure and simple

[gvoorhis09]

have this on my vinyl my great uncle gave me when i was 14 my favorite LP of all time after eat a peach and music from the big pink

[billslater55]

On America's Got Talent tonight - Susan Boyle singing Wild Horses. Mick Jagger would be proud. But it still doesn't beat this beautiful bluegrass rendition by Old and in the Way - oh yes - that... is the world's BEST man vocalist and my singing idol, Mr. Peter Rowan singing lead. God bless Peter Rowan!

[colindominy]

This is a GREAT landmark album for fans .. containing a wealth of fabulous songs. But of all the tracks, this is my far-&-away fave .... just ooo so smooth ... Pete's lead-vocals .. and I just love Jeery' banjo solos .....

[dogsee1]

who gives a fuck..just appreciate old and in the way..fuck mick and keith..they are tough but thats a different genre of music

[HIGGLEFORTTOPALIS]

JERRY GARCIA FOR PREZZZ (when he was alive :[  )

[lemarteau63]

It works, but hey, it's Jerry.

[HippieBuddah]

Lovin' that Jerry guy

[cheesegang123]

perfection. greatest musicians of all time keeping it simple

[Bortherhood]

I love this song!

[FortParkerFlying]

For another great version of Wild Horses with Peter, in search put, peter rowan OSMF rollingstones

[deadhead1130]

i have this album, it kinda changed the way i listen to country, in a good way

[FredThaHead]

Aa a Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones rocker back in the day, this album broadened my musical listening horizons. I still have my vinyl copy, lol. Much of Richards' and Jagger's acoustic work is largley unknown to most. I have equal appreciation for both versions and also agree that trying to do a comparison of which is better is pretty much apples and oranges. I've been told my stab at the Hobo Song on guitar isn't too shabby.

[FortParkerFlying]

Am sure you know but worth mentionng for others. The Flying Burrito Brothers first recorded a version of "Wild Horses" othat was released in 1970, just a few months before the Stones release.

[BadgerByBirth09]

You realize that this isn't richards and jagger playing acousitc, right?

[FredThaHead]

You're kidding, all this time I Peter Rowan was Keith Richards in disguise. I was just making the point that a lot of their eirlier acoustic work is largely unknown these days since they did write the song.

[mrchang1965]

great version of a great tune by a great band...if you compare rowan with jagger and vice versa you are a moron, both great but completely different artists...also for all the jagger haters: do you know who wrote this song? why hate?

[pileofstuff]

From Wikipedia: * Jerry Garcia - Banjo and vocals * David Grisman - Mandolin and vocals * Peter Rowan - Guitar and vocals * Richard Greene - Fiddle (3-2-1973 to 5-25-1973) * Vassar Clements - Fiddle (6-5-1973 to 4-28-1974) * John Kahn - Acoustic bass

[BellaLuna2005]

big fan big fan I say this album revived bluegrass, so easy a caveman could do it

i love it every song "f" the skull of mick jagger

[mistertimz]

jerry on banjo

[speakerchef]

And that's Spud on Banjo

[johnny576375]

Is this Rowan singing lead?

[1Bluesboy1]

Yes

[johnny576375]

Thanks

[meanlezbo]

@johnny576375 hell yes, don't you know anything

[B34N]

fuck the stones, old and in the way brings this song to levels jagger couldn't dream of!

[dbkparm]

Comparing this to The Stones is pointless.

[1Lawman104]

mick jagger is not nearly as talented as peter rowan..just listen to pete sing raglan road, if you want to hear an awesome sweet voice....

[BenYouSuaveFuck]

by far best take on this song.

[achaarpickler]

I just love all the three old and in the way cds. One of my friends had them. Wish I had copied them, guess i'll try to download them now...........

[tumadoireacht]

there were three ??

[achaarpickler]

Yes, one with the colourful drawings and two of them with black and white photos of the band against a brown or sienna background.....

[loz4545]

Try to get hold of the live version of this, it's suprisingly better, I got it from soulseek.

[6749er]

loz this is a live version from The Boarding House on October 8, 1973 w/ sound by a local Bear.

[Friday0109Night]

Thank you from the depths of my heart for posting this - someone put this version on a mix tape for me in 1992, and I've been searching for the source ever since. You've made my day! Best version of this song EVER.

[Bogsmoggler]

Oh my! Thanks so much!  This song / version hits a sweet spot in my heart.

[fxabilene]

Love it! The birth of the "newgrass" movement owes alot to these guys. Heard this version in Galax VA. at fiddlers convention by Atomic Roots. Brought tears man...

[adamwittig420]

best version ever

[sillyass777]

I've never heard this version.. it was enjoyable.. Thank you for the post.
