There was none better than the original Seldom Scene; Duffy, Starling, Gray, Aldridge and Eldridge.
Hope you liked this lineup too. It was a fantastic day with two Scene performances. Be sure to see the afternoon set, too.
I believe that is T Michael Coleman on bass from Doc Watson.
Yes, T Michael on bass for those shows and many others.
Agreed!
Hey qebbaa
This brings back SO many wonderful memories. Listening to them as a teenager. My dad couldn't stand it. He only listened to and played traditional bluegrass. All of the festivals.. Lake Whippoorwill, Take it Easy Ranch, Watermelon Park. All gone now, just like Duffey, Mike Auldridge, and and John Starling. Gone but NEVER forgotten. Love them all! So blessed to have had their talent and their music in our lives.
Thanks for your feedback. Very happy to have put this up where lots of other folks can enjoy it. Please tell your friends and share it if you can. And of course don't miss the other Seldom Scene videos on this channel as well as the other great concert footage from vintage shows.
This is the best bluegrass out there. I have every one one of their CD’s twice over. Just a backup.
Thanks. Be sure to view the afternoon set also and tell your friends about this channel.
Unbeatable
This brings back wonderful memories. I love Duffey's Dean Martin impression!
Thanks, Dan - more Mike Auldridge performances coming soon...
I just loved Duffey...wasn't he spectacular? Not to mention the rest.
One of the best ever
Thank you. Please let your friends know about this video and be sure to watch many more classic performance videos on this youtube channel. Feel free to 'share' the link.
Gorgeous harmony!
Glad you're enjoying the concert videos here.
Thanks again, the Great Seldom Scene never to be duplicated. Beautiful thanks for sharing. Brings back memories of my childhood and traveling with my Dad around the country. RIP
Thanks for watching and letting me know you enjoyed the clip. Be sure to watch the other one from the same day - afternoon set. And of course, tell your friends :)
Gardens and Memories is actually a Starling original. In a catalog full of amazement, I think it's an overlooked jewel.
I used to play in a regular poker game with Dan Tyminski. He found out I was a bluegrass fan/player (after I'd fawned over him, of course). He asked me who my favorite singers were. I said "You can't beat the Starling/Duffy/Auldridge trio." He paused, and said, "That's hard to argue with." Said Dan Tyminski.
Thank you for your story and glad you're having fun with the videos on this channel. Be sure and tell your friends and share this one with Dan Tyminski and others. Then have a look at the other vintage concerts I've put up on the channel by some other great bluegrass performers. Enjoy.
This is nothing but epic!
Thank you. Hope you enjoy the other seldom scene clips and other old concert footage
Always the finest, as I've watched Duffey ever since his first time in front of a audience which was July 4th 1957. Just like wine.
Thank you. Hope you enjoy the other videos on this channel with Seldom Scene performances. Tell your friends, too.

Thank you so much. Glad so many people like these videos. Please tell your friends and spread the news. And of course watch the other old classic music videos here, too.
Absolutely the stupidest statement ever made . . . In the history of mankind.
The very best. Loved them all, especially Mike Auldridge on the dobro.
Thank you. Enjoy the full afternoon show of the same day that is also here. And tell your friends.
I just realized that the reason I start gasping every time I finish listening to Ben Eldridge's solo on I Know You Rider, is because I haven't been able to breathe the entire time. Mercy.
Thank you. It's great to see how much people like these videos I made 30 years ago. Be sure to tell your friends, too.
This is AWESOME! Cant wait to play this for my Dad,Cousin Al... Thanks!

Thank you for posting this! There is precious little video of this great band!
Thank you. Be sure to tell your friends about this channel, too.
While not a high tenor, Starling was one of the greatest bluegrass vocalists ever. And he could walk it up the ladder when he wanted.
Thanks for your comment. It was one fantastic show and special to have John Starling there rejoining the seldom scene.
JUst Great!!!! Tight band!!!
Thank you. Tell your friends.
Live at the Cellar Door is my all time favorite bluegrass album
Cool. I have an old old vinyl of it, with the cover signed by the band members. Great stuff. Thanks for your comment. Enjoy this video and all the other classic concert clips here - and tell your friends.

thank you
Thank you for this!
Thank you. Glad you like it. Don't miss the other Seldom Scene shows also available here. And don't forget to tell your friends.
I was at this show and also taped it.But over the last 30 years they disappeared. I want to thank you for posting. The remark from the MC about The Scene "being the opening act for the Circuit Riders" came as a response to the fact that The Great Duffey had earlier during the Circuit Riders set came on stage while Terry Stanton was singing, with a long handled push broom and commenced to sweep the stage and push Terry's feet away from the mic with the broom. I miss John Duffey.
Thanks. Tell your friends.
Few will know the Circuit Riders, though I am sure they are/were a fine group. The Scene is forever music.
The Seldom Scene....ALLTIME...best Bluegrass band...bar-none..sad there were problems..!!!
Thank you. Glad you enjoy them as much as I did. Tell your friends, too.

Very nice to see them in action, nothing like the Scene. Shoulda left all the Duffey patter in though...
Thanks. Tell your friends.
I especially liked Seldom Scene. They were excellent musicians. Unlike many Bluegrass bands they did not often play tunes I had heard many times before. Duffy acted like he was enjoying himself, not taking part in a religious event. I also listened to a lot of Newgrass Revival. Bands like these made more music lovers more receptive to bluegrass.
Thank you and happy you are enjoying my videos of those old shows. They did indeed add some originality by playing a lot of (what today is called) 'Americana' and not simply jam-session bluegrass standards. But they could get down with the best of 'em on 'Little Georgia Rose' :) Be sure to watch the video here of the other (afternoon) set from the same day at this festival back in 1992. And tell your friends. Enjoy.
RobbieJo my Doxie loves this music also.
Thanks and make sure the Doxie tells all their friends, too :)
High tenors sure enough lead!!!!
Thank you. Glad you like this. Tell your friends :)
Bluegrass is for the acoustic class, which takes raw talent to play an acoustic instrument!! I love it !!!!
The difference between Bluegrass music, and all the other music in the world, leaving none out, is when the lights go out, our boys are still playing,while the rest are shut down! Am I right?? Somebody quote me if I'm wrong!Bluegrass is definitely in a class all by its self. Robert Hubbell. Take that to heart Bluegrass lovers!!!!!!
Auldrige just come on as boss on Rising Sun
Thank you. Tell your friends. 😊
Set List:
1 Little Georgia Rose
2 Gardens and Memories

Feel free to add one here.

Ben made a good living with the Scene. In 2022, Is he still alive? Was the last!
When I first met them, as I recall, Ben was working for a government agency and Mike was a graphic artist with the Washington Star News, which later folded in 1981. That's when Mike went 'music full time'. If Ben later was also able to live well from the Scene it was a well-deserved musical life which landed him in the IBMA Hall of Fame. Musically excellent and a friendly individual, I hope Ben is well and pickin' banjo still in 2022.
Thanks for watching the video. You may also enjoy the short video on this channel with Ben and Pete Wernicke doing a banjo workshop at one of the Grass Valley summer bluegrass festivals when the Seldom Scene were on the bill the same weekend as Hot Rize.
I wasn't aware of Ben's professional carrier outside of bluegrass. I was aware of Mike's graphics work carrier but not in detail. I last communicated with Mike in texts some years ago and only a few years before his passing. Yes, I too hope Ben is still picking his banjo, he was my favorite of all the banjo pickers! Not sure you may have known Joe Val, of the New England Blue Grass Boys? Joe was my first influence in Bluegrass. He played in my home town of Woods Hole, Massachusetts. in early 70's. "GrandFathers Clock" was one of his many popular songs. Joe invited me, as I lived nearby in Annapolis, to have dinner with him and the band at the Birchmere, in Alexandria the night he opened for the Seldom Scene, that was the night back stage I met Duffey, and Gray but I don't remember who it was on the guitar. I think it was in 1982 or 83. I miss them all, my favorites!
If you're in the area you can probably find Ben Eldridge in Maryland. I don't know Joe Val. First met Mike in DC during a work trip related to some medical equipment at GWU in summer of 1977. Looked Mike up in the phone book or directory assistance from my hotel room and called when I was done for the day. Mike's wife said they were playing that night at the Birchmere and told me how to get there so I hopped a cab and went right over. Mike was very pleasant and invited me to come by for a Dobro lesson that Saturday morning at his home; went directly from there to the airport to catch a plane back home. Pretty memorable. It must have been another time that I was talking to Ben and learned about his profession and it stuck with me - a brilliant individual in more than just music. By then, I think, John Starling had become a physician and left the band to pursue his medical career. Afaik when the Scene first began in 1971 or 1972 they all had 'day jobs'. Got to see the Scene several other times at festivals and performances mostly in CA, including the shows you've been watching in Grass Valley, CA and the ones that I taped in 1992 in Santa Maria, CA. I met Jerry Douglas and Josh Graves in the Chicago area a couple years before that trip to DC. JD was 17 and on his first tour with The Country Gentlemen, then headed by Charlie Waller and with Ricky Skaggs on mandolin. We were all so young :)
Was just reported he passed , Ben Eldridge !!! April 14, 2024. Natural causes.
Wow, they musta had to pay them a fortune to get them to leave Virginia...
I'll see if I can find out just how much they were paid. They did appear other times in California.
@@user-xj7px1mz1s There's an old John Duffey story. He hated to travel far from DC. Once he was called by a venue in California who wanted to book the Scene, and when they told him how much, he said, "Which one of us do you want?" I was lucky to live in Alexandria and saw them about one Thursday night a month over a 10 yr period.
I thought I saw them in NYC. Am I remembering wrong? Late 1970s?
@@robertewalt7789 They travelled sometimes. But they basically wanted to stay close to home. They had other jobs and professions in addition to being stellar musicians.
