Hot Rize, performs "Ninety Nine Years" on November 3, 2010 at The Museum of Our National Heritage in Lexington, MA. Brought to you by Less Than Face Productions.
My favorite song from one of my favorite bands. I didn't know that Hot Rize was back together. When Hot Rize played in Cleveland about 20 years ago, I requested this song, but the song had passed from the Hot Rize repertory at that time. Rock
Always one of my favorite groups from the 70's... have the original "Hot Rize" LP on Flyin' Fish. Great to see the guys back together: the multi-talented Tim O'Brien... Pete "Dr. Banjo" Wernick... Brian Sutton... and Nick. Thanks for posting this one!
Hot Rize is a great band and even Bryan Sutton's solo sounds like Charles Sawtelle's kind of playing. Let's call that good taste and humility !!! A+++++
Outstanding. This may be my favorite Hot Rize song. I predict this type of music to emerge as the dominant musical genre. Bluegrass music is currently being suppressed by Classical Music. I have personally witnessed and experienced the Classical Music suppression. But Bluegrass is too good to stay suppressed. It will find a way.
@@corinmeehan368 Hi Corbin! I agree that Bluegrass Music is vibrant, but Bluegrass Music does not enjoy the public exposure, that other genres enjoy. You have to know where to look. That's OK by me, because I know where to look. I am on a Mission from God, to spread Fiddle Music. I love Fiddle Music, and I've "played" (I use that term loosely)for 43 years. I am very excited, because, by reverse engineering "Perfect Fiddle Music" over the last nine years, I have finally learned how to control a bow, now that I'm 68-years-old. I plan to upload instructional videos. I call my new, invented style, with a new grip, "Workshop Style". It is my belief, that almost everyone could learn to play fiddle, but Classical Music, ensures that everyone thinks of the fiddle, as an uncontrollable instrument, and everyone thinks of himself, as "not talented". There are very few good fiddlers, and the few that can really play, learned at a very young age. The primary method, used by Classical Music, to prevent folks from being fiddlers, is the biggest musical tragedy in history: giving violins to Fifth Graders for "Orchestra". Now that I know how to play, I can state definitively, that it is impossible, impossible, impossible, for a Fifth Grader, to learn how to play a violin. The few that know, were taught by private instructors, and the few probably started Suzuki Training at 4 or 5-years old. Public School "Orchestras", impart hate towards violin/fiddle. The secondary method, used by Classical Music, to prevent folks from being fiddlers or violinists, is that Music Stores, totally controlled by Classical Music, will NOT TEACH students how to play. Music Stores will take your money for lessons, will have you go through books or play scales, and will tell you that you're not practicing enough, but they will not teach you the "Secrets" of bow control. There are "Secrets"!!! I took 17 years of folk fiddle lessons, but every time I asked my instructor about bowing, he replied, "I don't care how you bow". My new "Workshop Style" fiddling, uses almost zero mechanics, that I used for the 17 years of lessons, and I'll be teachin' "HOW TO BOW"!!!. Classical Music is scared to death of good fiddlers. I've seen it. Classical Music often imparts some fiddle knowledge to Classical Music Students, so that the Students can be "Fiddle Contest Bullies", only to abandon Fiddle Music after graduation. In the early 1900's, America had many more fiddlers. In the 1930's, a prime time radio show in Atlanta, Georgia, was Old Time Fiddle Music, played by the Skillet Lickers. Some Skillet Licker music survives on Amazon.com. Also in Atlanta, the Georgia Old Time Fiddle Convention, which started in 1919, and lasted for a couple of decades, received newspaper headline coverage. Those days are gone. I am a believer that "Music" is man's legacy to Universe. I'll be doin' what I can, to help spread Fiddle Music. The Classical Music Institution, is my enemy. I've experienced their attacks. Rock
This is a bit of a cross-over band. The suits are ok. I don’t even have a problem with the electric bass, and you could add a lap steel. No telling where it could go.
Tim plays the most awesome fiddle I have probably ever heard!! He played Sally Goodin' at the 1982 CBA annual Fathers' Day Bluegrass Festival in Grass Valley---and before he was even half way through the second chorus, the entire crowd of 4500 people were on their feet, beside themselves with an excitement and applause that has rarely been matched by ANY performer. Oh , I wish you could have been there!!!!!!
I love that youtube added the feature where you can see which parts people re-watch. Bryan was ON
My hero's. Thanks for giving me Bluegrass Fever so many years ago.

How do you feel it's being suppressed by classical music? From my experience, BG (and its "variants" is more vibrant than ever.

Tim O' Brien sings this song better than anyone else, almost made it a song by Hot Rize ahaha
Way to go Brian. Just a little shade of Slade.
Can Nick Forster play the upright bass? Just curious ...
Although they may bear a resemblance, take it from us, they're a completely different band
Red Knuckles and the Trailblazers!!!! Playing bluegrass?? Weird.

Blood of ancestors maybe make noise! ?
No electric bass though !
