Bluegrass was huge in Japan. Crowe often spoke of feeling like they were the Beatles when they played there.

[@takeslivebluegrasschannel9763]

Yes, it was. Bluegrass was hottest in Japan back in 1970s, in my opinion, with a lot of US artists coming in. I guess I know how J.D. felt. :-) Take

[@theogoldberg8919]

Beautiful to see how the Japanese people welcome Country music. Historic traumas can be overcome through music BEDT UNIVERSAL LANGAGE ❤

The band doesn’t seem to be as “together” as they usually were... first tune is called Durham’s Reel by the way

[@-northeastohiosirensandtra5641]

Simon Phoenix They were in Japan so everybody was feeling strange I’m sure! And Jake could not make all the same jokes like usual because Japanese people would not get all of them!

[@josephrogers2843]

By 1968, they were already beginning to break up. I think this is an awesome opportunity to hear them in the later years. Very little live footage has surfaced from this era.

[@curtisswhite8805]

Was this recording distributed in the U.S. I LOVE it! Thanks!

[@takeslivebluegrasschannel9763]

Curtiss, nice to hear from you. I'm not sure if this recording is distributed in the U.S. or not. I doubt it. Anyway, good to know you liked it. You are more than welcome!
