I'm sure many people are, they just don't know what they're hearing. I'm a rhythm lover, Keith Richards' is my hero. That said nobody plays like Tony Rice.
It's all about creating counterpoint. Everyone wants to play solos but nothing is more important in an ensemble setting like this than excellent rhythm playing. Advanced strumming is where it's at.
A little outdated but here goes. I good lead player, in my opinion, comes from a clear understanding of rhythm playing. They are interlinked, you can't have one without the other.
Hard to believe that this gem, like all of the band's performance in Suwanee in '05, haven't been listened to by more of us. This is great music-making!
@@cravinbob Tony Rice (RIP) has been one of my guitar heroes since I first heard the Dave Grisman Quintet album in the 70's. He is brilliant on this tune! I try to get my middle school kids to listen to the incredible musicianship in this music.
@@cravinbob I know man. My daughters husband is 37, I’m a 65 yr. old Deadhead. He’s into all this stuff, but, it takes time to show them what they missed. We lived at such a time, it kills me!
Tony Rice mere presence helps this already great song by Peter Rowan. I was already a great fan of Tony Rice and his accompaniment on lead makes the flavor of this wonderful religious song even greater! WOW!
I just returned from Ashville N.C. / seeing Peter with his mandolin player.. opening for Dark Star.. hats off Mr Rowan.. you are an national treasure// thank you for your music!! This song was my favorite// Lots of folks don't have an idiea of your "chops" PANAMA RED MUCH!! Live well sir!!✌️✌️✌️🌴🌴🌴
@@willmartin1837 I've seen Rowan play with several of his bluegrass quartets, one having a rock and roll iteration, and he truly is a national treasure. He had a rock and roll band with his brother in the early-mid 70s and they ooze with psychedelia, folk, bluegrass, just Americana music. And he's such a great man. A troubadour. Cold Rain and Snow is a good example and has been his baby for 50 years. He's the reason the Dead ran with it and made it their own. Rowan's name is all over the story of American music.
Thank you Mr. Peter Rowan! Big heart! And to the ladies! Absolutely awesome! No words to describe how beautiful, wonderful this is. Sincerely, thank you all so much! With all my heart!
I was expecting Mike Marshall on mandolin. He was a player the week before this at Northwest String Summit. Sharon hit it out of the park, this set and for years to come.
this is the best version of this great song I've heard since the original Old and in the way live LP and I could watch that crazy eyed girl on the bass all day, she really swings and plays fantastic bass, all round fabulous unit.
Was there. Sometimes videos don't live up to the moment afterwards but this one does. To paint a picture, the festival damn near got rained out and they squeezed all the top acts, and crowd, into a packed, humid, but thoroughly happy music hall with a stage on either end. You basically turned around after every set. This one was sublime.
I was there too... despite the rain and all the challenges, the staff did a GREAT job moving everything inside to alternating stages... this might have been one of my favorite sets from any Suwannee Fest! Epic!
Seasoned professionals in love with their music, is what I see. It's not just a living, it's who they are. Their instruments are just an extension of what is inside them. Great video. My only regret is that I just now discovered them. And yes, the slinky mandolin player is hot and plays like she was born with it in her hands.
What a fantastic quartet, Peter Rowan, bluegrass and rock icon (Seatrain, NewRiders of the Purple Sage), Tony Rice, the best flat top guitarist going, and two lovely,multi-tasking young ladies, masters of their instruments, they can shred and vamp at the same time. Acoustic music doesn't get any better, check out: Old sante fe and the hobo song, classic.
I agree that this clip may be the coolest 7.5 minutes of video in all of bluegrass. The mix of musicianship and hypnotic immersion of the musicians in their work... It's mesmerizing.
Thank you Thank you for posting this! I cried watching it...brought me right back to 73....haven't 'heard this since then. The only thing missing was Jerry's flat out monstrous solo....thank you
Music has got to be one of the greatest gifts of mankind, these folks express it so wonderfully! Always brings joy to my heart to her them! Thank you for posting!
Sharon Gilchrist is playing mandolin. Bryn Bryce Davies is playing bass. Sharon has a degree in classical mandolin from a university in the Nashville area. I think Bryn went to Berkelee College of Music. Sharon and her brother Troy Gilchrist played with Martie and Emily Erwin (Dixie Chicks) in a group called Bluenight Express when they were all in junior high or high school in the Dallas area. They were good even back then.
From Wikipedia: Davies has lived in Knoxville, Tennessee since 2014 and received a Bachelors Degree in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Tennessee in 2019. As of 2020 she is employed as a safety engineer at the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee and continues to play bass as a sideline to her new career instead of as a full-time profession.
I am not sure what the set up is on the Young Lady's Bass but I can say with absolute certainty that she can flat out play that Bass! Wow! Yes, she looks like a lovely lady and that is cool, but she is a truly gifted musician and a solid singer as well! They are a very full sounding Quartet and played the heck out of this song! Thank God for the wonderfully fulfilling gift of music!
The ladies are there for their musical prowess and then they engage with their charm and I’m cooked. Tony kills it on his guitar. Peter is gifted writer performer and picker. Thanks for posting.
This is a great quartet, Bryn's bass is awesome as is the mandolin. Tony's mic should be turned up so we can hear his pickin extraordineur. Great all round music. Thanks.
Gotta love Bryn Davies💙
Duly noted..
I do, she's an amazing bassist, and I'm from the land of NHØP..
Man, is anyone else blown away by Tony's rhythm playing on this? Wow!
I'm sure many people are, they just don't know what they're hearing. I'm a rhythm lover, Keith Richards' is my hero. That said nobody plays like Tony Rice.

Yep to all!
I've recorded thousands of videos, This is one of my favorites.
Hard to believe that this gem, like all of the band's performance in Suwanee in '05, haven't been listened to by more of us. This is great music-making!
Never heard bluegrass or Tony Rice' flatpicking?? Old and in the Way perhaps? Jerry was in that group... kids today don't know nothin'...

22 here, trying to get my homies into this stuff. So much to be heard. At least I got some of them listening to a little dead. Better than nothing.
Tony Rice mere presence helps this already great song by Peter Rowan. I was already a great fan of Tony Rice and his accompaniment on lead makes the flavor of this wonderful religious song even greater! WOW!
Definitely a regular "go-to" for me!!
Those two women are Goddamn awesome. Unreal musicianship..
i like the way Bryn moves behind whoever is taking a solo, plus just the fact that she is an exceptional bass player.
That is just freaking awesome!
And there Bryn goes again, dancing the bass across the stage, without missing a beat.
What a fantastic musician she is ❤️
This song reminds me of Jerry. A beautiful joyride of sound. You just can't feel bad listening to bluegrass. This music is uplifting to the spirit.
I just returned from Ashville N.C. / seeing Peter with his mandolin player.. opening for Dark Star.. hats off Mr Rowan.. you are an national treasure// thank you for your music!!

PANAMA RED MUCH!!
Live well sir!!✌️✌️✌️🌴🌴🌴
Absolutely

Old and in the Way was the first time many of us heard this song. 🎶💙
God bless Tony Rice and his loved ones.
RIP Tony Rice
I was there 03/2007. Same show. Met them all backstage because I was playing too. Amazing unforgettable weekend.
Thank you Mr. Peter Rowan! Big heart! And to the ladies! Absolutely awesome! No words to describe how beautiful, wonderful this is. Sincerely, thank you all so much! With all my heart!

These four are brilliant together.
Best version ever.
Sharon is Awesome !!! I saw this tour and she just blew everyone out of the theater.... Bryn did one of the best Bass solos ever....

I LOVE that mandolin solo!!!!
Sharon Gilchrist is amazing on mando.
Just floored by this, every time I hear it. A religious experience.
I was there too... despite the rain and all the challenges, the staff did a GREAT job moving everything inside to alternating stages... this might have been one of my favorite sets from any Suwannee Fest! Epic!

Missing Tony´s voice so much ...
I was thinking the same thing
Je réécoute après plusieurs décennies d'absences, génial !
Thank you Thank you for posting this! I cried watching it...brought me right back to 73....haven't 'heard this since then. The only thing missing was Jerry's flat out monstrous solo....thank you
I never get tired of this song? what's that about?
I love to come back to this. This was my second visit to the Suwannee. Thanks again.
All of these excellent musician on the same stage wow!!
What an eye opener! As for my ears.... paradise. Thanks for the magical upload.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh, I love this song!!! Love that you have lost.... dreams that could have been - in the midnight .....
Sharon's solo rocks for me.
Music has got to be one of the greatest gifts of mankind, these folks express it so wonderfully! Always brings joy to my heart to her them! Thank you for posting!
Bryn Davies's bass backup of Tony's solo is amazing, what a combo. Waves of talent on that stage.
OMG!
Top drawer
She's a champion bass player and now she's employed as a safety engineer at the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.
@@andrewz4537That sounds a bit heart breaking.
Sharon Gilchrist is playing mandolin. Bryn Bryce Davies is playing bass. Sharon has a degree in classical mandolin from a university in the Nashville area.

Sharon Gilchrist has clearly paid some dues. She's fierce and tasteful....love her music.
They are excellent players.
To stand with Rowan and Rice and do such a fine job means they have to know their stuff.
Gilchrist did an excellent job playing with Josh Rouse on Conan o'brien back in 2000

Rowan did this song at Strawberry as the full moon was rising over the mountain top. Really beautiful.
I RE.EMBER THAT NIGHT.
Are they of this world?
Wonderful Performance ...
Good superb playing by the Quartet.......... & good song Amigo
Beautiful band.. looks too, well half of them
I love the little crack of a smile from Bryn about 5:45, been there.
Extraordinary! Peter Rowan and the others are....whew
What a wonderful song.
These guys are such a treasure
Excellent.

The bass player is Beautiful Bryn Davies and she's top notch!
Brought a tear to my eye
I couldn't keep my eyes off them either and I am a musician. Beauty is beauty audible or visual. Beautiful video too!!!
Looks like they put out an awesome show. Wish I'd been there... :-(
All four of the greatest musicians 😂
Thanks for posting this! They're all such talented musicians, but Tony Rice just blows my mind!
just a lesson in musicanship and dynamics the way that bass player moves around to back up the soloist ,and Tony Rice is goat

Great picking, Sharon...sure know your "stuff"... you're good on the upright bass, too!
Super awesome band,vocals and harmony. Thanks for postin man.

Add Garcia on banjo and it's 1973 again

This is a great quartet, Bryn's bass is awesome as is the mandolin. Tony's mic should be turned up so we can hear his pickin extraordineur. Great all round music. Thanks.
