The Seldom Scene & Billy Strings - I Know you Rider-Charm City Bluegrass Festival

[@SyncroHombre]

for all y'all that don't know "The Seldom Scene Live at The Cellar Door".........one of the best bluegrass albums of all time......you're welcome

[@richardbilger2334]

That was the album that turned me on to them, this song particularly. It must have been 1977, maybe ‘76…

[@redfoley9608]

Much better. Duffey rules

[@redfoley9608]

Loved this song but dudley is a dud. He ruins it. Hate his voice. He was a good mountain boy

[@Jaybodozerdog]

Yes + John Hartford Aereoplane

[@brentemory1078]

I have that

[@commontater8630]

Best bluegrass version of Rider I've heard so far.

[@davidpaterson1207]

My favourite bluegrass band since the 1970's AND Billy Strings.WOW !

[@SBrown-ov9lz]

Berkshire mountain blue grass fest 1979...Bill Monroe, Lester Flat, Osborn Bros. and among many others, the the Scene...Best time of my life!

[@carolinewright4u]

Was there. Best fester EVER.

[@marazomarazo6429]

Red Fox Bethesda 1974 - College Park guitar professor turned our class on to Bluegrass with Seldom Scene. I can't tell you how thankful I am!! My favorite band!! I'm a 66 year old ex-trumpet player.

[@scotsmanofnewengland7713]

I got the chance to met and talk with John Duffey at the Winter Hawk Bluegrass Festival back in the early 80s and was one of the best person to person talks I had with someone. R I P John you are missed and know you are singing and playing with the angels in heaven.

[@pacosuave64]

This is exactly how I always pictured the music of the Dead to live on...as pure Americana.

[@everydaycars6273]

This song's way older than the Dead man

[@bryantliggett]

the number of times I've corrected other Grateful Dead fans (I love the GD) because they've claimed an ancient song is the music of the Dead is absurd. Going Down the Road Feeling Bad. Mama Tried. The list goes on and on.

[@roybands2052]

@@bryantliggett stop your holier than thou crap. no one cares about you correcting other people

[@drewharrison1840]

it is not the grateful dead’s original song but you would be crazy to say that this is not in the style of the grateful dead. This is the dead’s arrangement of the traditional song. So in a way it is a dead cover, although it is indeed a traditional song..

[@FaqueGoogle-wo6ip]

@@bryantliggett good for you. Those stoopid dead fans. Thank you for this service. You MUST be a big dead n co fan!!

[@SBrown-ov9lz]

I kept in touch with Joe Val, and Mike Aldridge. Mike talked about a Chesapeake music opp to me in emails. Mike and I met several times over the years because I expressed to him my interest in dobro, how I tuned my dread naught to it, and my love for it. We became friends. The last time I went to a Scene concert was in 2005 in New Bedford , Mass. Only original member was Ben Eldridge, banjo, and he I knew then was aging fast and would likely be the last time I could see the Scene! Mike died in that time frame, Duffey too, Starling, Rosenthal, Grey, live today as far as I know. I'm next....Life has been wonderful to me also because of them.

[@createlovehappy]

My dad introduced me to the Seldom Scene with the album Live at the Cellar Door on vinyl and I loved it. They really set the bar high with that one.

[@berndf7437]

Charm city festival 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️big hug from🇩🇪

[@irpacynot]

Well, well, well...what do we have here. I hear me a young Jedi master.

[@emlizard6022]

We should have known. Well maybe if we were there we would have.

[@KentucKid1]

Billy must have enjoyed immensely playing with that band!?

[@Senerian]

A beautiful version on this song. Truly beautiful blue grass

[@brentemory1078]

I saw them last night at Nottaway Park! 08/01/24.

A little "Smoke On the Water" at 8:30!

[@KentucKid1]

That was cool with that lick from Smoke on the Water. :-) Billy can say he played with the best.

[@drrbrt]

Glorious!!

What's up with the camera work? Hardly any shots of the band.

[@lynettekomidar]

Lyrics of Devil Got my Woman

[@cameronsmusicretreat]

Man takes a different number of bars between each line, everyone in the band needs to constantly watch his mouth to get some idea of when to change chord

[@conniegoodson7472]

Who and what rider is this song talking about?

[@jamesbanjomanjohnson]

can the banjo picker play it? you diden't give him a piece of it until the last 3 notes,, must have something agains't banjo picker's...

[@susiefairfield7218]

KICKin Dead Grass

[@davideisenberger6197]

Is there any of the original guys left?

[@steveb78]

No. Lou Reid would be the only "close" one since he was with the band with Duffey, Auldridge & Eldridge in the late 80's to early 90s.

[@bolowney8978]

That's some pretty dern good hippy bluegrass pickin' but how can these people call themselves "The Seldom Scene" without even one original member in the band? They may as well just call themselves "Bill Monroe and The Grateful Dead"

[@robbie1977ful]

Damn that’s funny. So true I actually laughed out loud . Ty sir

[@javenfogleman5798]

You have no idea what your talking about Bo do some reserch Dudly Conell played for them Lou Reed did also and the others are family of Seldom Scene

[@bolowney8978]

@@javenfogleman5798 I know exactly what I'm talking about, Javen. Who "played for them" is immaterial. Yes Dudley Connell and Lou Reed spent time in the band. My point exactly. While they are both exemplary bluegrass musicians and singers, neither were original band members. While the current Seldom Scene is a fine bluegrass band," there are no original members. They're really just a Seldom Scene tribute band.

[@bigal25938]

I was thinking the same thing. This ain’t the Scene.

kick ass job but not running as fast at the end as they were when they started

[@keithclark486]

No where's near the talent of the original SS band and strings doesn't help out.

So go away and pout😂😂
