Hey Howard, I just reviewed this video as I'm about to tackle a deep cleaning on my two resos. Great video! Thanks!

I didn’t know John Aster (Gomez on Adam’s Family) played banjo. 😆

DeSoto Live 2004

what a pain in the ass these things are.

Thanks for sharing! I haven't seen any "new" Birchmere footage in forever. Loving it! ❤

Vocals stepping on music? Shameful

…..Excellent thank you.

It looked at first that the original cone was slotted for the cable, but went frame be frame and it appeared some sort of stick something to protect cable from side of cone. Did I see that right? Dot of silicone?

Was there ever a episode 3?

Just a great group. Saw them more times than I can say. The talent was amazing.

Hey camera man.... BANJO MATTERS! ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS BEN!

Hi! Ver well explained, thanks! :) I'm looking for some info, regarding the replacement of this Spider resonator with a bisc. resonator. Is this possible? I have a self made dobro, round neck, with a spider reson. and i'm wondering if sound would be more bluesy with that change... what do you think? thanks in advance!

THANKS FOR SHARING

Glad you saved this video thank you!

Currently reading John Duffeys Bluegrass Life. Thanks for posting this video.

Seldom scene are excellent as always

Bad buzzing on my Paul Beard Model R which, despite you saying you're buzz free at the end of this video, I can still hear (42:18 and 42:32) from your instrument. You seem to blame the age of the 3rd string, but I have exactly the same issue with my 3rd (a 29 btw). I put on a brand new 3rd, and that fixes the issue but after a few good plays the buzz is back. Is this a Paul Beard instrument issue? I'm kinda relieved that I've found another instrument that has this issue, but also concerned because you don't appear to hear it. Any tips on how to fix? Great video. Thanks man.

Wow, and this betamax almost ended up in the trash??!!😢

Musically I prefer this incarnation of the scene but vocally with John Starling was much better ,he just lacked the chops on the guitar.

I got to meet Phil Rosenthal about 10 years ago. Great guy! We even got to play some songs with him... thanks for posting this video

This is really great to see! Thanks for sharing!

This brings back a lot of memories. I didn't see myself in the crowd shots but I think I was very likely to have been there. If not that night, then there were many similar evenings. Such a great band and I very rarely missed a Thursday at The Birchmere when I lived in the area during the early to mid '80s. Thank you so much for finding and sharing the show.

I heard them play at the Red Fox outside Washington, DC

A great discovery! What a treasure......

Just great, thanks

An old fan of Seldom Scene and Betamax!

cool!

Seldom Scene was a favorite guest of Tommy Hunter for his Tommy Hunter Show which aired nationally in the 70's and 80's in Canada . That where they became a favorite of mine

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

OMG l use to watch The Seldom Scene at the Carlisle Blue Grass festival up in Ontario Canada back in the 70's

East coast polyester bluegrass? Is it raining in here, or...?

What an absolute treat to see and hear this! Thank you SO much fort sharing !

The Seldom Scene wasn't even the best bluegrass band in the state at the time.

This is a treasure! Thank you so much for bringing it to light.

10/10 Thank you!

Phil Rosenthal got me here. Thanks for this, fantastic stuff.

At 30.40 you say "you can't see the nut, but I can". It has always been my understanding that the nut is at the peg head end and the saddle is located, in this case on the spider. That said, I have heard some European sources reverse that order.

Thanks for sharing. I had a betamax once. And this truck driver thanks you for the great podcasts also. You can find the music but the interviews and stories are the real treasure.

He is my favorite 👍

Hundreds os thursdays...

Wow, I don't know how many times I saw them in that same room. Thanks for the memories. None like them ever.

Thanks for the memory and reminding me that time spent at a bar isn’t always wasted.

Lot's of fond memories of seeing them play the Birchmere when they played a weekly slot. Always a good time. Great band!

Saw it on Bluegrass Today. One of the best groups ever. Nice to see and hear Duffey again. Thanks for the upload.

An extraordinary piece, thank you!!!

nice!

My favorite -- the Phil Rosenthal version of Seldom Scene 1977-86. Of course, Phil's version of Muddy Water is the best. And shout out who got so many of us into Bluegrass/Newgrass -- Deejay Lee Michael Demsey of WAMU-FM 1982 to 2018 weekday afternoons.

This is great, Howard! Why does Mike move to the other mic to sing?

use to drive to D.C. from Richmond on Saturday just to hear 88.5 WAMU just to hear Bluegrass music all day......Fredericksburg was about where we could pick up WAMU to hear Katy Daly and other legends of WAMU. Back then there was no satellite radio with 24/7 Bluegrass so I as a fan chased the music......Saturdays and Friday evenings were my Bluegrass times at WAMU 88.5.....Good Memories........Lest we not forget the Bluegrass bands that played Wolftrap in Vienna Va. Dang I could go on and on!
