JD Crowe made so many contributions to bluegrass and banjo. But one of his biggest was expanding the repertoire and variety of songs (like Age here) while being able to keep them in the traditional bluegrass sound. That is talent and creativity.
It amazes me how much Jerry Douglas' physical appearance changes from one time period to another. He always looks completely different in every decade. lol.
musicians are sedentary creatures so it's not surprising how they can put on weight and contract all kinds of illnesses and diseases, including addictions.
ジム・クローチ作曲のフォークソングをリードボーカルリスト・トニー・ライスとドブロの名手ジェリー・ダグラスがアレンジしたブルーグラスの名曲ですね。素晴らしい。私もギターで歌っています。最近68才で惜しまれながら高いしたギターの世界的達人でもあるトニー・ライスさんのご冥福を心よりお祈りします。Peter K. Satow
I've been reading all the comments about Tonys' picking and Doyles' mando break and Jerry, JD and Bobby being so great and I agree with it all. But how about giving Mark Schatz his due also. That man has been holding down the bass line with everyone who is anyone in the bluegrass world for years and he is damn good. It seems like the 'big fiddle boys' are always left out of the conversation and it is a real shame. No matter how good any band is take the bass out and it loses a lot of its power.
He’s great! Looks to me like he has classical training. Mark Schatz, Roy Huskey Jr, Glenn Worf, and Bob Moore are the bass players I look up to. It’s the best complement in the world when someone says ‘your playing reminds me of’ and one of the players I listen to and admire.
yes, and he remains a very humble inquisitive person learning, I met him at a workshop or class I gave in this age of online virtual banjo workshops and his inquisitiveness, honesty, and genuine interest made me think at first he was someone knew to the banjo or music when I had known of him for decades. This music is so great.
I think this is the best composition of pickers and singers, each on their instruments together or separately ever assembled.. I saw them many times at festivals and clubs when i was living in Maryland...
Agreed! I was fortunate to see these guys together at the Berkley music hall manny years ago. I knew they were good but I had no idea of who I was seeing and what a privilege it was at the time!!
This is as good as I've heard. Great to hear Tony's voice and what great talent he has with him. In this song Tony sounds a bit like Gordon Lightfoot,......Tony sang many of his folk songs. Thanks for sharing this great bluegrass music.
Amazing how these guys could step out some and still keep that traditional bluegrass sound and feeling. Eric Weissberg did that on his New Dimensions album. How do you pick a highlight on this cut? Bobby Hicks' superbly clean fiddle playing? JD's uplifting and driving banjo? Doyle's bouncy, dancing mandolin? Jerry's tasteful dobro? Tony's impressive guitar work? Or the beautiful vocals - of which I can think of none better?
@@bry8tiyze Thanks for giving the correct title. I've been knowing this version a long time....originally a Jim Croce song if I'm not mistaken. I'll take this version first-up any day of the week!
there are so many of the ensembles he passed through when even though he was a junior person by experience that people with reputations as singers well deserved wanted him to sing. Aint no coincidence. He just seems to be someone from all the records and video and stuff people who knew him say, was serious and dedicated and could get somewhere about the msuaix
What is so striking about this clip is the fact that they are obviously having one hell of a good time. In the end, isn't that the point of making music? I miss Tony's singing voice too, but one way or the other, he's an awe inspiring picker with perfect timing and great taste.
Really sad what's happened to Tony's voice over the years. You can hear it here if you compare this vocal with those on the older JD Crowe TV appearance vids. Great clip though!
If someone was wanting to get into bluegrass, & asked me to recommend something to listen to, the first I would recommend would be TBAB, any of them, & the 2nd would be go buy JD Crowe & The New South, rounder 044...one of the best. & that would be just a start.
well ya you know it is...but they gave it a more descriptive title than Jim did. they should have listed it as Age - (Back Where I Started Again) who knows maybe the TH-camr uploading this got it wrong and just didn't know the song.
Thanks for replying but I wasn't putting hime down at all. When I saw the Alison Krauss DVD 100 Miles or more live from the tracking room, Tony was talking and I noticed his voice sounded real rough and not smooth like it used to. I love his playing very much and like I said I didn't mean to even sound like I was putting him down in any way at all. God bless.
It would seem appropriate for someone going to the trouble of posting a video of one of the all-time great bands to at least get the song title correct.
All in there prime, and the best at the time, but I have to put Bobby Hicks ( fiddle) at the top of this group. I was pickin pretty hard back in the early 80s and we studied these albums hard, out of the whole crew, I'd have to say the most flawless in the bunch was Bobby. Skaggs used him for a reason, his knowledge and skill on fiddle as a studio hand or a stage performer was unmatched in those days.
He doesn't sing too much. He used to do some singing I think with Boone Creek and then on the last Alison Krauss tour he sang on the Ron Block song Along The Way
There will never be another Tony Rice.
Tony you'll be missed
One of the best groups to ever grace the stage. Solid traditional bluegrass at its best.
Man, I am so sad. Tony was a gem. May he Rest In Peace
The studio version of this song is track 1 on The Bluegrass Album, Vol 4 under the name "Age"
Watch Mark Shatz playing Bass in the back row. Not only is he a great Bass player, he is clearly enjoying the performance. Great group and great song!
RIP Tony Rice
It doesn't get any better be than the BGAB!

I love hearing Doyle sing tenor!!!!! So recognizable....
I think that's Jerry Douglas. Doyle is singing the baritone part.
Bobby Hicks fiddle break; short but so sweet!

this song was actually written by Jim Croce. I loved that Tony and his band adapted songs from non Bluegrass sources.
One Bad Lineup of Pickers!!🎶🎵🎶
40 years since Jim Croce died? Where does the time go? Rest in Peace, Bro.
A lot of GOATs on that stage!

Schatz probably is my favorite bass player (comes down to him or Todd Phillips)
He’s great! Looks to me like he has classical training. Mark Schatz, Roy Huskey Jr, Glenn Worf, and Bob Moore are the bass players I look up to. It’s the best complement in the world when someone says ‘your playing reminds me of’ and one of the players I listen to and admire.
Bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum rinse lather repeat. Love it. He's the second hand of the clock

@@dale116dot7 ignorance never helped anyone knowlege is power.
As they say, "It don't get no better than this!"
it just does not get better than this
LOL--someone who knows the grammatically correct way of complimenting, rather than " It don't get no better than this"!
That voice, those harmonies, THAT'S Bluegrass!
Absolute Legends that’s all that needs to be said. Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
The real title of this song is "Age" and it's a Jim Croce song. This rendition is absolutely awesome !
I think this is the best composition of pickers and singers, each on their instruments together or separately ever assembled.. I saw them many times at festivals and clubs when i was living in Maryland...
totally agree...I can't get enough of this song...classic bluegrass at its best!
George
Agreed! I was fortunate to see these guys together at the Berkley music hall manny years ago. I knew they were good but I had no idea of who I was seeing and what a privilege it was at the time!!
Tony with Flux, Bela, Mark O'Connor, and Sam Bush is equally great. With either Schatz or John Cowan on bass.
All awesome musicians! Mark is tight on the bass and everyone was playing bluegrass like it's supposed to be played!
They were born with it.
Good to see Jerry Douglas singing some baritone.
I just noticed that. I don't think I've ever seen or heard him sing before!
loge10 he sings on some of the Transatlantic Sessions and every now and again with Alison Krause and Union Station

How can you tell?
The real title of the song is "Age", written by the late great Jim Croce.

Perfect ..... Enough said .....
Tony Rice a.k.a. king of flat-top guitar pickin. Was this guy good or what in younger times. mos60
The song is actually called "Age"
You are correct! Was about to post but you called it!
@@bry8tiyze Thanks for giving the correct title. I've been knowing this version a long time....originally a Jim Croce song if I'm not mistaken. I'll take this version first-up any day of the week!
Yep, Tony's a great picker, and he's got a great voice!
HAD a great voice.
tippimail1
lol exactly.
there are so many of the ensembles he passed through when even though he was a junior person by experience that people with reputations as singers well deserved wanted him to sing. Aint no coincidence. He just seems to be someone from all the records and video and stuff people who knew him say, was serious and dedicated and could get somewhere about the msuaix
Bobby Hicks one of the greatest fiddlers around. He's played with all the best of them. Only Kenny Baker RIP is in his category.
oh, forgot Vassar Clements. amazing bluegrass fiddler. mos60
man do I miss the old says
One of the best combinations of pickers right there!
I am 92 jcGreene FromTomgreene Family Great Music
oh, what would you give to hear them live once again? such great musicians every one!!
Wow! What a band! Kicking it all the way from the start to the finish!!
My hero for sure...you sure taught me alot
So sad Tony has gone................
We never think about passing, until it visits us
What is so striking about this clip is the fact that they are obviously having one hell of a good time. In the end, isn't that the point of making music?
I miss Tony's singing voice too, but one way or the other, he's an awe inspiring picker with perfect timing and great taste.
First time I've seen Jerry Douglas sing!
Doyles tenor blend great with Tony
Thanks for Great music my faviorites
Awesome harmony great bluegrass song !!
Really sad what's happened to Tony's voice over the years. You can hear it here if you compare this vocal with those on the older JD Crowe TV appearance vids. Great clip though!
This song is called “Age”
This is just one of those songs that you will never get tired of hearing. Not many of those.
I can't imagine USA without this boys
Awesome miss you Tony!
Tony is rip and here we see the expert at work
great version. Doyle sounds superb as always
Yes the title is "Age" written by Jim Croce
Flux is looking like a rock star!!
oh yeah now this is more like it ,love it
The correct title for this song is "Age". It's a cover of a Jim Croce song.
Great! Thanks.
The actual name of this song by the late Jim Croce is "Age".
A wonderful classic with Tony in fine voice and great playing all around. @efar7133 is correct about the song title.
If someone was wanting to get into bluegrass, & asked me to recommend something to listen to, the first I would recommend would be TBAB, any of them, & the 2nd would be go buy JD Crowe & The New South, rounder 044...one of the best.
& that would be just a start.
The Jewsouth you mean?
.....Brilliant, thank you.
This is one of my favorites they do, good post!
this is the stuff yeah - right back where i started again
And JD
Superb!!
Nice
0:49-0:50 Tony Rice and those f***** licks. Sick, sick, sick....
the best.
Sorry people it's called,,,, Age ♫ Not the title listed
Isn't this the song Jim Croce wrote called "Age"?
Yes it is.
well ya you know it is...but they gave it a more descriptive title than Jim did. they should have listed it as Age - (Back Where I Started Again) who knows maybe the TH-camr uploading this got it wrong and just didn't know the song.
Yup
How good could music get?
Not much better,if at all!
@StephenHardyMusic Sounds to me like they are singing "ideals" to me.
Thanks for replying but I wasn't putting hime down at all. When I saw the Alison Krauss DVD 100 Miles or more live from the tracking room, Tony was talking and I noticed his voice sounded real rough and not smooth like it used to. I love his playing very much and like I said I didn't mean to even sound like I was putting him down in any way at all. God bless.
They so awesome 👍 but JD want there never left the ground 😁
the song is actually "Age" by Jim Croce
At first I disregarded your comment, but you are correct as far as I can see. As verified by Wikipedia. Either way I love thier version
@@gregclark5344 You can find the BAB's studio version of this song on The Bluegrass Album, Vol 4 under the name "Age"
It would seem appropriate for someone going to the trouble of posting a video of one of the all-time great bands to at least get the song title correct.
This was the second cut on the first BGAB record was'nt it ?
Title of this song is "Age".
Anybody wondering this song is called “age”
Doyles Mando Break Doe!
All in there prime, and the best at the time, but I have to put Bobby Hicks ( fiddle) at the top of this group. I was pickin pretty hard back in the early 80s and we studied these albums hard, out of the whole crew, I'd have to say the most flawless in the bunch was Bobby.
Skaggs used him for a reason, his knowledge and skill on fiddle as a studio hand or a stage performer was unmatched in those days.
this seems like early 80s or.mid 80s by Tony's voice
Is there anymore of this show out there somewhere
I knew the song better by the name used, though!
But then I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer either!! Don't bother old Roadhog none!
Son Flux is cutting Baritone!!!!
He doesn't sing too much. He used to do some singing I think with Boone Creek and then on the last Alison Krauss tour he sang on the Ron Block song Along The Way
by the way the title is "Age"
Credits to croce!
Bobby Hicks is on fiddle Kenny
@TruegrassBoy I just can't hear the "i" in ideals
ya i don't know why people are doing that...jim croce wrote and recorded it as Age...great song though regardless of what people call it
Who's on fiddle?
Bobby Hicks.
What key ??
Damn Jerry Douglas is skinny here/
no sound
I don't know why they say "lost my deals". It's "lost my ideals"
They ARE saying ideals: problem is the “y” in my running into the “i” in ideals.
